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.

[and Akira just. . . shakes his head]

You can't expect someone falsely accused and fighting for his life not to cheat.

[his tone is even]

That's just. . . the way it is. He has nothing to lose.

[psychedelica]

[ maybe Akira's not as clueless as he thought he was... ]

[survivaltricks]

[the bitter and angry old man in him surfaces. . .]

[see also: Akechi experiences]

[slobjection]

I expected nothing.

[ and i was still let down. ]

But he wasted any favor he's gotten.

[survivaltricks]

You don't have to like him. But I can't—

[condemn him.

[his grip on Nick's arm tightens as Beau is struck in the eye, as Ogata lifts his mace. and, on instinct, he cries out]

— BEAU!

[slobjection]

[ gomen, phoenix isn't responding. he is staring directly at the fight, incredibly tense and coiled up. ]

[ sorry that i have to give you one of these dramatic no response tags but again this is the only time i can do this shit ]

[survivaltricks]

[it's okay they can have dramatic NO DIALOGUE tags together, because Akira is as stiff as a board, a bit of terror appearing in his expression]

[unanswering]

[slides over to other blues bc it makes more sense here probably...]

-she'll still end this.

[she has to, because he knows she's capable of it.

it's hard not to think briefly about how easy it is for good people to die to underhanded ones, like this, but-- it isn't the same. it's not done yet either.]

[survivaltricks]

[NHS's voice breaks through the tension, and something. . . something warm curls through Akira as the words reach his ears. despite everything—]

She will.

[he whispers, voice tight and quiet]

She absolutely will.
