week 5 execution

W5: EXECUTION

In the morning at 12:30pm sharp, you hear the intercom speakers blare loudly across the entire airport, perfectly audible no matter where you are.

All passengers, please report to the Flight Deck effective immediately. All passengers, please report to the Flight Deck effective immediately...

Hopefully that’s not quite as long a trek as Saturday for you. All the same, you are propelled by that same sensation to come to the Flight Deck. Your feet carry you past that glass doors onto the outdoor terrace, where the benches and quaint planters await. Why, it’d look almost serene if not for the fact that one of you appears to be missing. There’s really only one place they could be, isn’t there? Your gaze might eventually settle over the runway you can see out below—the view is great from up here.

While you're not forcibly rooted to your seats, there's no way out. The glass doors close behind the last person and refuse to budge, and the viewing glass is just as unbreakable. As for any open areas, the invisible forcefield is working so very hard on this Sunday.

Oh, and because I’m sure this is the most pressing question on your mind: yes, Allstars Coffee is still serving hot beverages and small baked eats, even during execution. That’s what you need during stressful situations, right? More commemoration ASS caffeine? Yes, we thought so. You’re welcome.

In just a few minutes, the combatants approach, as helpful screens light up to further help you understand today's proceedings.

EXECUTION

OBSERVATION DECK

[mgtropes]

[drymonster]

[ todomatsu matsuno, famous loser of popularity polls, steps out onto the runway. nothing fancy or especially cute today, just his old hoodie outfit from home.

there's nothing special about the scene here yet, either; it hasn't morphed into some far off place with elaborate scenery. it's just a runway.

the emotions emanating from him are a low boiling anger and frustration tempered by a tired sense of resignation, and he sighs as he looks around. whatever. let's just get this over with.

as he turns to see who else is here, though, guilt and anxiety — though not surprise — immediately start tangling with the other feelings, and he stops in his tracks. well. shit. ]

[sootprints]

[ onlookers might have to squint to make out the small dark shadow that moves across the runway...

or maybe not. because on closer inspection, she is in fact a small dark shadow. she wears a victorian-style dress from one of the new shops, and radiates anxiety... though you may not need to feel her emotions to know that, as the thin trail of smoke that rises from her head gives it away well enough. ]

... Todomatsu.

[ her voice comes out small and fragile. ]

I'm sorry. I don't want... [ she looks around, as if hoping for some exit for the both of them. a way out of this situation. ]

[ballies]

[ we are all just sat here like :person-standing:


anyway. she has a fit and she's once again sat with a coffee, picking at the lid rather than drinking it.

AND THEN I GUESS KATE WALKS OUT AND SHE JUST FREEZES AND IMMEDIATELY STARTS CHEWING ON HER THUMBNAIL ANXIOUSLY. ]

[selfimmolation]

[ what's worse than a scapegoat

A CHILD ]

Shit.

[feytality]

[ vibrating anxiously ]

[agleam]

[he is here, watching unhappily as usual!

especially when kate walks out. yikes. he straightens up immediately, eyes widening in alarm as the vibes get worse.]

Come on...

[toxicate]

[ fit! sword at his waist, emotions rendered completely blank since he's walked in, not a single thing discernible

until he sees kate out there and it's a sudden flare of extreme worry and anger. ]

[damp]

[ OHHH not like this

Sitting here with low-key panic. ]

[peripheries]

[wearing a hoodie up over his head. When he sees Kate, he sits back and just fucking laughs. Emotions clearly stating the laugh is from a place of "this is bullshit" instead of actually finding anything funny about this at all.]

[bxkautx]

[ fit i guess. emotions are at a kind of mellow 'hmm, don't like this' until she sees kate and then they just go 'hmmm don't like this even more.' yay... ]

The kid...? Seriously?

[teenrebellion]

[ he's been sitting here in the back in a little cloud of anxiety already and then kate walks up and there's a bit of dread in there. okay!! sure!! children can murder too!!!

vibrates unhappily!!! ]

[nostradamus]

[fit check! this is the worst thing that could have possibly happened to todomatsu and she is delighted. she leans back to sip her tea and enjoy her brunch. everyone is so worried and for what...

(just ignore the muffled sense of anxiety and concern in the background. asa is fine.)]

[feytality]

[ hand holding time? ]

It's always the worst possible pick...

[sixam]

[ WHY DO WE KEEP LETTING CHILDREN DO THESE THINGS.

that's the emotional vibe, he's just in the back and burning through a cigarette and frowning so deeply about all of this. my god. ]

[ballies]

[ looks over.

looks away.



looks over again like ?!? ]

[feytality]

[ looks over and startles ]

[selfimmolation]

[ looks over that way and just goes

????????????????????? vibes wise ]

[teenrebellion]

[ also doing a double take ]

Is that really...?

[toxicate]

[ also looking over


?????????????? ]

[ballies]

[ looking at him like uhhhh ]

I... have no idea.

[teenrebellion]

[ anyway he'll sit with her for a bit. ]

Anything for drama, right?

[nostradamus]

[sips her tea at these reactions. oh. okay.]

Ace. Tell me what you're seeing right now.

1/2

[drymonster]

[ he gives her a weak smile. the scene is still quiet, a plane in the sky overhead leaving a faint contrail in its wake. ]

Yeah. Sorry. I didn't want to make you do this again either.

[ he wishes they'd just fucking caught him the first time, back when there were more people here who could have filled this role. ichiban or ryo or... someone who hasn't already been forced into this so many times. ]

I know they're not going to let it be quick or easy, but I'm not going to—
