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.

[strongly considers shoving her at the barrier so she bouncy balls]

Is anyone going to do something about this, or...?

... What's she going to tell them? Two people were talking in the street and then-- [ wow he doesn't want to say "spectres got them" ]-- she got mad about it and called for whatever the police are.

Actually yes! Call the cops so I can take their guns!

You know how to handle a gun, Power?

It's just pulling a trigger, how hard can that be?

If you're not prepared for the recoil, you could hit yourself in the face...

Ahaha... Well, why not ask for some advice from someone who uses guns? Like Kim.

[Kim glances over, and quietly mumbles:]

My advice is not to steal the officers' guns.

[oh my god.]

You still have to aim it.

[personal profile] powerplay 2021-11-15 12:14 am (UTC)(link)
What, do you think I'm going to accidentally shoot the gun into the air?!
perfectdistance: ([G] Talk 5)

[personal profile] perfectdistance 2021-11-15 12:16 am (UTC)(link)
No, I'm sayin' if you're not used to guns the aiming's kinda finicky. Tt's different from firearm to firearm.

[He will talk about this so he doesn't need to talk about execution.]

[ Congrats, here's your motormouth distraction who will distract you with your guntalk for a few seconds. ]

They're in the same family, if I can wield all kinds of swords and hammers and whatever then guns can't be far off.

[Power is a good girl.]

Guns are a little different since they're projectile weapons. Have ya ever used one before?

It seems so.

[ ...

you're going to win, spike says, and xie lian shifts again as he picks up the gun. san lang steps in front of monika, just in case, growling low. ]


... You're going to come back too, fool. [ quietly - every loss hurts. every single one. ] We will not leave anyone behind.

[Well.

There it is.

Despite it all, Monika and Pygmalion remain relatively calm as the shot goes off. She sighs, tugging at a strand of her hair.]


This is not a goodbye, it's a see you later.
