Good morning, Camp Gatonina.

The weather could be better, but at least it isn't trying to murder you this week. Overcast skies as far as the eye can see. No real need to seek shelter of any kind. How lucky.

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 Ookurikara 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.

"... That was so boring. You're bringing me to tears. Tears! Terrible. Not even a tie to make it worth my time. I could really go for a nap right now. Ookurikara, get your badonkadonk in motion before I fall asleep. . . for realsies. . . . . . . ."

Ookurikara 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.

"Who else? Dick Grayson...? Heh, why not? Battle of the boy toys, boom!"

Similarly to Ookurikara, Dick 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, Dick will find a 20-sided dice... though five 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.

[ After watching himself kill Escha in a masochistic fashion on Wednesday, this feels about appropriate. Twice, now, fighting someone he knows isn't guilty. And still, he can't say he expected this. It's funny. Dick volunteered to die yesterday, because it's what they do. He'd been willing to take the fall then, if it came down to it, but... his eyes trail to the crowd. The dice burns in his hand, though he knows it's an illusion. It feels heavy, with the weight of a life.

Dick's never wanted to die. He knows Ookurikara doesn't, either, for Lili's sake if nothing else. He doesn't know what's crueler. Lying down and accepting it despite the people who told him no yesterday, or fighting for his life against someone who hadn't even volunteered.

His tablet's gone. All items vanished makes sense, but it means he has no way to communicate with Ookurikara. It's for the best, maybe. He's not sure what he'd say. Sorry doesn't encompass the depth of what he's feeling right now. He signs it, anyway.

Before rolling-- he wants to see what Ookurikara says. What he's willing to do. ]

[well. she looks like hell chewed her up and spit her out. it seems like she hasn't slept or stopped crying since friday. even now she's still trembling faintly.

and yet when dick is the one chosen to face off against ookurikara, she finds herself still nearly knocked off her feet. she doesn't want anyone to be here. she doesn't know anyone who she'd prefer to stand against him, not this late, not when everyone has people dear to them.

so maybe that's why she can't stand it and finds herself yelling - ]


If you don't want to die, then fight!!

[to do anything less is a disgrace to everyone who loves you.

and some things are that simple, she thinks. even if she has an obvious bias - everyone else has different ways for their heart to beat. and break.]

[. . . . . . . .]

[Akira stands in the ring with his crutches pulled to his side, his injured leg slightly lifted and his wounds stinging with the dull pain that has persisted throughout the week. for some reason. . . everything he's carrying with him feels so, so much heavier than it ever has before]

[he schools his expression. doesn't let his frustration and anger appear on his features as Dick is escorted into the ring. another weekend, another bloodbath, another instance of two innocent people being forced to fight to the death for no good reason except some stupid pink things entertainment]

[. . . he'll watch, though. as much as he doesn't want to. he's never looked away before-- he won't start now]

[ It isn't Lili.

That's what matters the most. It isn't Lili in the ring with him, and so, resolve solidifies itself in his mind. It isn't right, being here without his sword or even being here at all, but Ookurikara will make do with what they're given. His eyes search the crowd for Lili, just to meet her eyes once before he turns back to Dick.

It would have been easier, if it was someone he hated. Of course it's not that easy, but as long as Lili is safe outside the ring, it doesn't matter. There's a promise that Ookurikara has to keep, and no matter how he doesn't dislike Dick, he will do everything in his power to keep it. ]


I'm not going to make this easy on you. I intend to live.

[ For her. The words aren't said aloud, but they are still there. ]

Roll.

[ the exhaustion that has permeated tonbo's expression as the weeks go by physically pulls at his shoulders today, the weight of watching a comrade fight a beloved friend far too terrible to name. he doesn't wish for either of them to break- not like this but what even is there left to say? all he can do is honor them both by watching this and hope, pray, plead that one of them survives this ]

[ beau is even more beat up than yesterday - extra bruises across her jaw, a bloodied lip. she doesn't seem to really care, though.

she keeps her arms folded across her chest. when dick is called, her gaze goes to wherever taako and wei wuxian are standing. eventually she glances back to the fight, and quietly squares her shoulders, expression harsh. ]

[ this was already terrible, even without seeing who would be chosen for executioner. even when the person who's chosen is guilty, watching this happen still hurts. even more in cases like ookurikara.

except then dick's name is announced, and she has to brace herself to not fall over. ]


Shit...!

[ haha bad ]

[WHAT IS THIS DISASTER WEEK. WE'RE REALLY TOASTING TO DEMONS HUH.

The expression on his face is hard to read and doesn't change once as Dick walks up and takes his spot. He's watching very closely, though, gaze sharp and intent.]

[Taako has, briefly, given up on feeling anything for the moment. He’ll look back when Beau glances his way, but he seems mostly unreadable. She likely knows his opinion on this though.]

[...whatever the outcome of this is, it won't be pretty.

flayn has known that much since ookurikara's name was called at the end of the trial, the night before. it's only confirmed when dick's name is called, now. someone will suffer, no matter how this ends. multiple someones.

there isn't anything that can be done to stop it, not now, so although flayn is trembling, she raises her eyes to watch. as ever, she won't look away from the execution.]

[ Lili's screams and Ookurikara's determination...

Dick's own eyes flit to someone in the crowd, too swift for anyone to truly catch who, and he seems to steel himself. He hates this. There's no word to explain just how much he despises everything in this game. He won't be able to live with himself, but since when has that stopped him, in these places? He's been responsible for so many people's deaths already.

He doesn't roll so much as throw the dice down, with a set to his jaw. It's probably why it nets them a 20. ]

[He's doing great it's fine they're all fine. He doesn't look away from the ring long enough to catch her eyes, but he watches with an unchanging, hard to pin expression.]

[He does not look at anyone else. The only person he watches is Dick. He's still as silent as he's been almost every other time. He's angry, by the look in his eyes, but it's icy, and very tired.

He squeezes his hands so tightly into fists, the knuckles are white.]

[Anaido is just slumped in his wheelchair like usual. His eyes are closed, and it seems like he's drifting off into sleep - except his eyebrows furrow at Dick's name being called, and he frowns. He's clearly awake.]

[The hand on the handrail of the wheelchair moves slightly. His index finger taps on it gently, like an unconscious movement. Tap-tap-tap. Tap-tap-tap.]

[Sets of threes.]

[ well he looks tired and pissed off but that’s probably not a surprise. he doesn’t have anything to say really — one or two people get a look when dick’s called up to the execution, but not long enough or significant enough to be of note.

but he watches. he’ll watch the whole thing. and if anyone here tries to look away then he’ll call them out on it because none of them deserve that right today. ]

[ the weight of the chainsaw is lighter than he expected. It does not change the singular moment of sheer disbelief on his face as he looks down at it.

OH COME ON

God, this is going to suck. Did you know there's a like, fifteen step way to properly start a chainsaw? It's a good thing I don't know shit about chainsaws, because it means Dick starts it with a swift movement and tries very hard not to think about things.

He doesn't waste time-- he can't afford to. It's not a sword, but it's close enough, and Dick's main advantage right now is that he actually knows what a chainsaw is and how it works. He tries to aim for the head.

God, if Batman could see him now. ]

[ i'm assuming she's standing next to him, so. when he starts tapping, she unfolds her arms and reaches down to take his hand. she taps too, gently, tap-tap-tap, against his hand. ]
