POPULATION: 38 Good morning, Camp Gatonina. The weather continues to be... okay, actually? Sunny skies as far as the eye can see. Not a single stormcloud to be found. Hardly the right environment for this grimm sort of occasion. At 9AM, two hours after the bugle call for breakfast, you will be drawn to the bonfire. Your body will move of its own volition, giving you little to no time to pick up any sort of protection. As you approach the bonfire, you will find that you are not the only one. The Camp Directors and Ogata seem to be marching to the same rhythm as the rest of you, their movements stiff as they approach from the direction of the Isolation Cabin. Once everyone has gathered in the same location, you will hear a voice that is recognized by none. "Haha, that was a trainwreck. Ogata Hyakunosuke, get over here." Ogata will be forced to approach the fire, as everyone else takes several steps back to form something of an impromptu fighting ring around the bonfire. "As for your opponent... Beauregard Lionett, why don't you give us a show?" Similarly to Ogata, Beauregard will be forced to approach the fire. Those in the audience will find themselves rooted to the spot, and the participants of the execution will hit an invisible barrier three feet away from the rest of the group if they try to escape. In her dominant hand, Beauregard will find a 20-sided dice... though one of the sides is now blank. You're all old pros at this. It goes without saying that it's time for the execution to begin.

Comments

[machinetranslation]

It's a rather difficult position, socially speaking, that is. I believe Master Ogata was quite aware of what feelings a victory would generate. Some would prefer to be openly disliked to quietly resented.

[threepio....knows people???]

[gatonina]

[they give her a little nod in return-- but they'll just be here for the rest of what happens.]

[haw]

Ooh, I didn't teach ya that one.

[shortfornow]

[ He doesn't believe this for a second ]

[wowcool]

Hahaha.

[A light, low chuckle. There's a glimmer in Anaido's dull yellow eyes.]

I think he doesn't care. But he's getting a good fight out of it. If he dies, if he lives...he wanted this to be the way he went. I don't blame him for wanting to use whatever he could to grasp what little chance at life he could get, though. Wouldn't you, if everyone put you as the scapegoat to sacrifice for everyone else's sake?

[shixiong]

...I believe he wants to go out on his own terms.

[ and somehow, they're almost... kinder? very twisted, indeed.

he won't look away either. ]

[slobjection]

I expected nothing.

[ and i was still let down. ]

But he wasted any favor he's gotten.

[successives]

[She's holding it pretty tightly once he does, clearly stressed, even if she relaxes a little bit when Beau knocks Ogata off his feet.]

...There's no way she's not going to win this, but - what a piece of shit.

[fishingforcompliments]

[Oh! Oops. When he loosens his grip, she looks chagrined.]

—I am sorry.

[It comes out in a whisper. When he takes her hand again, she resolves to not grip him too tightly, no matter what plays out in front of them.]

[okitactless]

[Yasusada frowns over at him from where he's standing... but ultimately decides to stay quiet. This isn't the time to bicker.]

[coastal]

[jason.... what a supportive teacher]

How can one man be such a punkass BITCH!

[please,, no more, hearing this in an ojou voice makes everything worse]

[coastal]

Hmph. Winter taught it to me.

I want to use 'mythic bitch' but it wasn't entirely clear to me if it was a compliment or insult.

[please stop]

[recrypt]

Is that really so twisted, though? When people believe you to be the stain on their boot, why be anything more only at the very end? So they can feel worse about putting him down?

[ and really, who would have expected ogata to fight fair. ]

He's not doing it out of kindness. Still, the end result...

[ well. a lot of people sure do feel better about being mad at him, at least. ]

[slobjection]

It's not the end, regardless. We know there's another side.

[ so he's going to go to the gy with everyone knowing this is how he chose to handle beau's mercy ]

[fishingforcompliments]

[bless. shadows for best camp director.]

[psychedelica]

[ WHAT THE FUCK WHY DOES LILI KNOW THAT WORD ]

[haw]

Huh. Yeah, it's exactly what I was tellin' you with the differin' connotations of "bitch." What was the context they used it in?

[coastal]

They just said that it's when you're a bitch but... majestically.

[her brow furrows]

Maybe it's a type of evil elegance...?

[lili does not realize she is a mythic bitch]

[voidbreaker]

[ amazing. ]

Oh, try asshole. That'd sum him up.

[extracrispy]

[He fist pumps at her!! He is very proud of her...]

Damn right! Really let him have it!

[swordflash]

[Now he's done it. His gaze flits from the scene of the execution to Flayn, then back to the scene as he gives her hand a reassuring squeeze, whispering back:]

D-don't worry about it.

[Really. It's the least of their concerns right now.]

[wowcool]

[A light shake of the head. It's not nice to see such things but...]

We're killing an innocent man. Not innocent overall, but innocent for a crime he didn't commit. Is it really that morally terrible that he try to fight for the life we're basically sacrificing for ourselves? Not that hurting or killing Beau would be good, but...if you were in that situation, would you just lie down and let someone kill you?

[recrypt]

[ threepio sure does know people. ]

Yes... Yes, I suppose you're right, C-3P0. Perhaps I might not have known him as well as you apparently do, but even so, I'm not sure what else anyone could have expected.

[coastal]

But I've heard that one... Is there another adjective to increase impact?

[she wants to try her NEW, COLORFUL curses]

[fishingforcompliments]

[yeah, that definitely sounds like something Ogata would do.]

...he does not want anyone's pity. It seems this is how he intends to ensure it.
