WEEK THREE EXECUTION

week three: execution interred with their bones
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. There's something almost oppressive hanging over the city, the market silent for the day as businesses remain closed and merchants remain indoors.

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 outpost.

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 out beyond the outpost, in the desert proper. Your three Watchers are here with their daemons, and so are... Rin, 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 city from the week prior.

Nearby, the Watchers stand clustered together. Satariel stands close to Rin, hand gently between his shoulders, though they periodically look back Yomiel's way or around the area with an uneasy dread. Yomiel stands a short distance away from the others, avoiding the others' gaze as well as they can (that is, badly). Their ocelot daemon crouches beside them, fur bristling. Rameel stands somewhere between Satariel and Yomiel to act as some sort bridge between the three of them. Their puma daemon settled by their feet as it keeps tabs on Yomiel's ocelot as Rameel makes sure to not look away.

And then, another party will be compelled to join them. Yukio will find that his feet are carrying him to his destination, Miki sticking close to him as they travel past bones across shifting sands. Once he passes a certain point, opposite where Rin stands, he'll find that he can't go back, and neither can his daemon.

Likewise, no one can enter the area further than where the three Watchers stand, Satariel having been pushed back, stopped only by their daemon shifting to its bear form. 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.

[The execution proceeds. Bullets fired.

A brother, lost.

For a moment, Alisaie stands next to Satariel in shock.

And then she's immediately heading for Alphinaud to grab hold of him and hug him tightly.]

[ She's so glad you two still have each other. ]

[ I definitely didn't just wake up, so Alphinaud has been around. Watching all that went down, horrified.

He almost doesn't notice Alisaie approach; she pulls him close before he can react, and for the shortest of moments he stands there, speechless. But just as quickly, Alphinaud wraps his arms around her, his head leaned against hers. And she'd be able to feel the shake in his hands. ]

[The shake in his hands matches the shake to her shoulders--Alisaie is crying, in spite of how hard she tries not to do so when there are others around. But this...

This was cruel, as so much of what happens here is.]

[ And he is no different. Alphinaud is always one to try keeping his composure, but right now, try as he might... it feels impossible.

After a long moment like this, he ventures into the silence between them, while she sobs upon his shoulder: ]


... Let us quit this place, Alisaie. The others will make sure he is cared for.

[It feels heartless to leave Rin here, but Alphinaud is right. There are many people who will see to him for now, and it's unlikely that either of them would be able to help. Alisaie nods, then draws back, though she can't bring herself to let go of him entirely. Not yet.]

An excellent idea, Alphinaud.

[Time to go.]
