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.

[ oh

being on the outside of this is bad. san lang, who was a ferret, immediately leaps down from xie lian's shoulder and transforms into a qilin, letting out a roar at the same time xie lian shouts - ]

[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....

[ He's here, quiet, somber and hoping for a different outcome than last week.

Disce is entirely still, coiled around his neck.

When Kotetsu steps forward, he scowls. ]

[ah, this again.

sheba, watching kotetsu be compelled to walk into the plaza, can't help but murmur:]


...cruel.

[aura, this time in djinni form, is hovering restlessly by sheba, darting back and forth in midair - before attempting to rush the barrier. she gets blown back, and sheba catches her, barely hiding her wince with a scowl.]

[... what?

oh no.

oh no oh no. this wasn't what Allen had meant when he'd said Mr. Kaburagi should set a good example for the youth at all.]

Mr. Kaburagi!

[Her expression is distressed and worried for a moment, but then it settles on anger, Ryutaro shifting from a plover to a hare by her side and hopping towards the barrier for a better look.]

[He’s late and stays on the outskirts with his daemon in shark form hovering close enough to dampen his hair, looking mostly relaxed but also curious.]

Don’t tell me this is goin’ to end with the Leviathan joining or something.

.....

[Revali sighs, shakes his head in a very obvious 'this idiot' motion' and just lowers his head to say to him]

Kotetsu is Wild Tiger. Did you seriously not notice?

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

When he was the one who objected most strongly. It's too cruel.
