chasma | 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.

[ theyve got a point, suriel. ]

[ flat gets it ]

[ stop being violent, all of you! ]

Trust me, sometimes you gotta let people fight it out. Once they punch each other enough they'll come to understand each other and be friends again.

[#shounenlogic]

That's... [ shakes their head. ] Maybe that works for some people, but not everyone.

[ and really, do you think spike and van zieks will ever truly understand each other? ]

[Not yet, they need to punch each other more!]

Hmm...I guess just talking works better for some people, yeah. Or maybe rock-paper-scissors.

If you say so...

[ they're clearly not convinced. ]

[ nodding ]

This is true, but it doesn't always have to be violent. Sometimes, you need to just find ways to have them fight that aren't physical. Like reciting metaphors.

what? ]
