WEEK TWO EXECUTION

week two: execution

no melodies no memories

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, the everyday background music you've all gotten used to reduced to mere echoes on the wind.

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... Suigetsu, 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 stand clustered together. Suriel is silent where they lean on their crutch, wings drooping under their cloak as their caracal paces restlessly. Shamsiel is also silent as they stand there to the other side of Suriel, their cloak covering them completely with the exception of their one good arm which clenches at their chest. Keeping an eye on Suigetsu is Baraqiel, tiger-formed daemon tracking Naito closely, pacing where the Watchers have estimated the boundary will be.

And then, another party will be compelled to join them. Rochalizo will find that his feet are carrying him to his destination, Philia sticking close to him as they travel across banks and canals to the heart of the markets. Once he passes through the centermost area of the plaza, opposite where Suigetsu stands, 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, having gotten a good gauge of what will happen now. 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.

[and then she gets knocked flat on her ass with the same amount of force. sighs and gets in my car because i have to drive somewhere gomen for slow.]

[ma'am.............

she moves to help her up, hello??]

Are you okay?

I'm fine.

[she sounds tense, and she keeps her eyes on the fight as she gets back up to her feet.]

...he can do this. [she's terrified, particularly when she sees that typhoon come out - she grits her teeth at the sight of that - but she takes a breath and tries to calm herself, though she does also kick the barrier again.] He can.

[Ah... She watches her kick the barrier again, frowning.]

... Let's have faith in him. Besides, it's not like anything good awaits the other guy if he does manage to make it out alive.

...

[she nods and pats at something that's tucked into the sash at her waist.]

[ take out his kneecaps, yuri can take his neck. ]

[deal.]

[...]

Ahaha, you came prepared for that?

I came prepared in case I was the one who ended up in there.

Ah... That's good thinking.

I'd rather it not be necessary, but...

[suigetsu literally killed someone so she wasn't willing to take any chances today? and frankly she hopes other people were prepared too.]

Me, too.

[But now Suigetsu and Rochalizo are getting blown across the place, so? Everything sure is happening a lot? Monika looks at the scene beyond the barrier with a frown as she tugs at a strand of her hair. Come on, Roast Chorizo. You can do it.]
