WEEK ONE EXECUTION

week one: execution dead men tell no tales
Hopefully you got a long night of sleep? Barring that, you got whatever answers, or closure, you might have needed. Because it's strangely quiet, the following Sunday morning. Moreso than Krankaz typically is. There's something almost oppressive hanging over the city, contained within the confines of the Bubble.

Breaking the silence, somewhere, much like the song of Friday, there is the echoing, cruel laughter of voices you should faintly recognize throughout the city. It's followed by humming of that newly familiar song. It's strongest, interestingly, close to the plaza.

As time turns to 1 PM, though, there is a change as the voices fade. While there's no compulsion to investigate it, there's a small gathering in the plaza. Your three Watchers are here with their daemons, and so are... Bertolt, and his daemon, front and center. All damages and evidence, anything amiss from the weekend, is all gone, and replaced with the state of the plaza from the week prior.

Nearby, the Watchers oversee everything. Satariel is standing close to Bertolt and Idi, keeping their head up, but the visible portion of their face is lined in misery and tension. Their daemon is in its raven form, barely seen from within their hood and pressed as close to their neck and head as it can be. Rameel stands next to Satariel, with their daemon in the form of a puma, also close to them. There's barely a smile that crosses Rameel's face as their gaze is between Satariel and the sight before them. On Satariel's other side is the last Watcher, pressed close enough to nudge with an elbow. Their daemon paces before them as an ocelot, ears pulled back in displeasure as both it and Yomiel await the executioner.

And then, another party will be compelled to join them. Kotetsu will find that his feet are carrying him to his destination, Finley keeping pace with him as they make their way down the ruined paths that make up the city of Krankaz. Once he passes through the centermost area of the plaza, opposite where Bertolt stand, he'll find that he can't go back, and neither can his daemon.

Likewise, no one can enter the plaza further than where the three Watchers stand are forced to step back, though luckily not expelled like last week. There will be no interfering from outside parties, no matter what it is that's about to happen. Any attempts to do so will result in them meeting an invisible barrier, one that rebuffs them with the same amount of force used against it—so take care.

[This is...]

[Sholmes was nice and good today and decided to come today on time, but, when Kotetsu is pulled forward...]

[The normal light expression on Sholmes's face shifts, his face pale, eyebrows knit tight. Irene shifts into her crow form, feathers ruffled as she lets out a low uncomfortable noise.]


Oh, dear. Oh....no, no, it can't be....

[Van Zieks is just gonna... put his hand on Sholmes' shoulder?

He doesn't say anything. He just does that.]

[personal profile] greatdeduction 2021-10-10 05:11 pm (UTC)(link)
....

[He glances over still frowning, but he lets out a low exhale at the touch to his shoulder, nodding. His own hand reaches up to give the other's a pat.]

We can only hope for the best.

[This is gay behavior.]

... If he truly is the hero he claims to be, then I think he will manage.

[two gaas standing together because they're not gay]

...Yes, one would hope so.

[Though you also have a whole war soldier out there in the form of a sweaty 40 year-old.]

[Stop Bertolt is just a young man.]

The role he was given...
[FROWNING. LORE?]

[no he's 50]

[Sholmes scowls for a moment.]


Sometimes, there are bargains others can't say no to. [And a sigh.] This whole situation is...

[a mess]

[personal profile] winebar 2021-10-10 06:26 pm (UTC)(link)
[He's the same height as van Zieks do you think Ziekers is 50 as well]

... This is all becoming horribly familiar.
[Squeezing Sholmes' shoulder a little.]
greatdeduction: (the blanched soldier)

[personal profile] greatdeduction 2021-10-10 06:47 pm (UTC)(link)
[Yeah. Sure is familiar. And then Bertolt makes his move, the trident striking, and Sholmes startles despite himself.]

Kotetsu-!

[HELLO?]

What on earth is he playing at!?

[She glances at him, clutching the front of her kimono.]

When he was the one who objected most strongly. It's too cruel.
greatdeduction: (the dancing men)

[personal profile] greatdeduction 2021-10-10 05:12 pm (UTC)(link)
[He sighs.]

Yes, most certainly, this terrible irony is something I could do without.

Mr. Kaburagi is very capable.

[But asking him to do this is just awful.]
greatdeduction: (the greek interpreter)

[personal profile] greatdeduction 2021-10-10 05:21 pm (UTC)(link)
I know he is, but he should not be tasked with this. It isn't his responsibility, nor is it anyone's responsibility from any one of us.

[personal profile] booksleeves 2021-10-10 05:26 pm (UTC)(link)
Especially not him . . .

[All he seems to do is want to help people, including Bertolt. She blinks away a few unshed tears.]

But I'm sure he will come through.

[There's a hand placed on Sholmes's back.]

[Ah. He looks back at Kim, but then nods, a bit distantly.]

[Everything happens so much!]
