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.

He is. A true warrior, indeed - I felt blessed to be fighting alongside him, this weekend.

[ nod nod.

also his hero speech there was very cool. 10/10. we stan.

the weapon pick is a bit of a surprise! but, murmuring - ]
... So, he chose close combat, instead.

He is smart to do so. Sir Rochalizo may be used to fighting at range, but with his eye, he would be at a disadvantage comparatively, and Suigetsu-san is able to strike from a distance. It is how he killed Mr. Revali.

[ nodnod ]

Precisely what I was thinking.

[ but - there goes suigetsu. xie lian watches, intaking a breath, but otherwise, clasping his hands together in front of himself and staying steady, though he calls out - ] Suigetsu's fast - be careful, Rochalizo...!

He is. . .

[The cheering seemed to work, so while she'll wait for a moment when he doesn't seem to be concentrating too hard, she'll shout - ]

You have this, Sir Rochalizo! We know you will win!

[She's trying to cheer him on, at least, but when Rochalizo is hit in the shoulder she can't help but start to cry out, covering her hands with her mouth to muffle the sound.]

[Oh, hello. Who are you, even. . . ]

Hey, it's not like it's a fun experience to watch two people fight to the death, I think you're allowed a bit of freaking out.

[she's not looking because she'll get mad if she does.]

[Quietly - ]

I know, but. . . I don't want him to think we don't have faith in him.

[well she can't ignore the shark rising so her eyes are on that, but:]

You can have faith in someone and still be scared for them. I think knowing you care is more important.

[ oh. bad. bad bad bad. ]

Come on, Rochalizo - ! [ it's hard to see with this storm, now, but, he's holding steadfast to that faith of his. ]
