WEEK SIX EXECUTION

week six: execution and the zest was history
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, in Star Circle.

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 heart of the city square. Your three Watchers are here with their daemons, and so are... Spike, 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 Star Circle from the week prior.

Standing close are the Watchers. Baraqiel is nearby, arms crossed, daemon skulking tiger-formed around the edge ring of the Star Circle. Shamsiel stands a bit to the side of Baraqiel with one of their hands grasping onto their wrist as their daemon rests on their shoulder in falconet form. Suriel stands on Shamsiel's other side, daemon nowhere to be seen as they rest their hand on the other's arm.

And then, another party will be compelled to join them. Diluc will find that his feet are carrying him to his destination, Canopus sticking close to him as they travel through the barrier. Once he passes into the innermost sunburst of the circle, opposite where Spike stands, he'll find that he can't go back, and neither can his daemon.

Likewise, no one can enter Star Circle further than where the Watchers are. 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.

[ finally drags myself out of bed, anyway.

As always, Alphinaud is here, Esmerie in his arms; the carbuncle seems less agitated this week, and he puts on the stoic as ever appearance while he watches.

And he's curious to see how this plays out. ]

[ She's just looking at this elf. ]

Be with your sister, idiot.

I know, Power.

[ ... in a lowered voice: ]

'Tis oft for the best that I allow her to get it out of her system, first.

[ yanno, the smacking at the barrier and all. ]

...You think it's better to let her do that?

[ This one is genuinely not judgmental, she's legit asking. Wouldn't most situations call for trying to stop that before it happens? ]

[ ... ]

For her? Yes. I am well aware how she grieves.

[ 'Grief', that's a foreign concept to her. Maybe that's why she doesn't really get it very well? ]

You should be near her anyway.

You needn't worry. I will be there for her, just as she always is for me.

[... Also looking at this elf and his carbuncle, quietly.

Please go to your sister.]
