POPULATION: 30 Good morning, Camp Gatonina. The weather continues to be terrible, snow and snow and more snow as far as the eye can see. You all know what's coming, and you all know it means you have to stand outside until the spectacle is over. So why not grab your coat before you're forced out into cold? 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 NHS 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. "Ohhhh, you actually caught one? You gotta be raring to go in that case. Nie Huaisang, get you ass in here." NHS 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... Oh, I know. Taako, y'know, from the Movies? Show us how it's done." Similarly to NHS, Taako 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 his dominant hand, Taako will find a 20-sided dice... though three of the sides are now blank. You're all old pros at this. It goes without saying that it's time for the execution to begin.

[ he meets his eyes, and it's not clear that he believes magnus, but he looks to taako and forces himself to nod, steadying himself. ]

Right. Right— [ he got the scrunchie, that's something. ] He'll manage.

[ruffboi]

[Oh, he's being choked out now. That's fun.]

Elbow! Use your elbow!

[overruns]

[ ...the momentum is shifting. huaisang fights harder than he thinks any of them really expect. he steps forward involuntarily, voice raising to a shout. ]

Both eyes, Taako!

[ don't give up, please. ]

[ruffboi]

[He doesn't cheer or feel happy when Taako stabs him with the pen - he just sort of sags, the tension in him deflating and replacing all of that fury with exhaustion, still trembling a little.]

See? He always figures it out.

[overruns]

[ is it over? huaisang isn't dead yet, but there's blood all over the snow, and beau is screaming, and it feels... over.

he's not much use at comforting people, but standing this close, he can feel the tension and anger fade from magnus. so he just nods, moving his hand up to his shoulder, giving it a firm squeeze, voice grim. ]

So he does.

[ sorry, beau. someone was bound to lose family. he's grateful magnus doesn't have to, too. ]
