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

[wowcool]

Nobody is saying you should applaud him. But to cheer for her against him is in rather bad taste, just because he did something in this altogether tragic situation to try to get on top.

None of them is the winner, you know. They've both lost. Life, honor...it doesn't matter.

[coastal]

[is it in bad taste when ogata just jabbed beau's eyeballs out when he self-esteem spiraled himself into a corner in trial instead of wanting to live then.

she holds her tongue. for once.]

I'd rather you not lecture me, Anaido.

Even if others may not care for it - carrying yourself with honor is sometimes all people have left.

[wowcool]

I'm not lecturing you. I'm just pointing out observations. Isn't that what I should do, as a brilliant detective?

[But yeah, that sure is eye removal going on. He isn't watching it, just closing his eyes.]

But anyways...we'll see how it goes. I won't like the result, either way.

[coastal]

[lili is startled, her shoulders stiffening, but - ]

Your observations lack heart.

[ . . . ]

But none of us ought to like this. None of us ought to think that any of this is acceptable to begin with.

[wowcool]

Of course. I'm playing my role, Lili.

[What heart is there, in the work of a brilliant detective?]

Absolutely. Our focus should be on that snake who put us all in this situation in the first place.

[coastal]

[ . . . and then a bit more quietly - ]

I hate your role, Anaido.

[she holds her breath when she sees beau swing the mace at ogata's face]

Don't look.

[wowcool]

So do I.

[A murmur. And he doesn't look, even though his shoulder shrug upward at the sound of the mace hitting flesh.]

[ruffboi]

[From where he's standing, just. Fart noises.]

[wowcool]

[He actually lets out a light laugh.]

Thanks, Magnus. [Actually? Sincere thanks?] Maybe we all need something like that to distract from this tragic situation.

[ruffboi]

Yeah, I'm hilarious.

[He wasn't trying to be entertaining? He's mad?]
