Second Execution

[mayorityvote]

EXECUTION

Another trial, another execution to follow, a terrible routine but routine nonetheless. Come mid morning, the ducks will be out passing out flyers for the sentencing of Beelzebub, to take place in front of the Wizard's Tower. Attendance isn't required, but strongly encouraged.

After how the picnic blankets went over last time they don't make a reappearance, replaced instead by long tables stacked with what appears to be a take on comfort food: various onigiri (tuna, umeboshi, tenmusu, omurice) coupled with an absolutely giant stack of pancakes. Regular pancakes, chocolate chip, blueberry, there's even a funfetti variety, with syrup and butter included, naturally. The beverages this time are coffee, tea, and fruit juices.

At exactly five minutes to noon, the doggy daycare wagon pulls up with several occupants inside: your town representatives of course, the convicted, and the executioner.

(( OOC: Welcome to your second execution! Attendance is not IC'ly mandatory, but there will be a surprise for all characters at its conclusion, regardless of whether they're present or not. ))

[Free breakfast is free breakfast. Walter mostly sticks to coffee during the execution itself giving the associations of syrup.]

Interesting how they insist on making us execute the guilty. Psychological conditioning, perhaps.

[He is not nearly somber enough for this occasion, but he doesn’t feel bad for Beelzebub.]

Wouldn't this technically count towards the harvest? If they're saying it uses blood and all.

[ gestures towards the execution and mio's rousing power of friendship speech. ]

[theotherww]

I suppose it would.

But just what does she think she’s doing? She can’t actually think appealing to sympathies will work at this point.

[faildeus]

But she does think that. Isn't that the joy of youth?

[ he takes another bite of his onigiri, listening into adela's disturbing response. ]

We can't let our hopes die so quickly, sir. If so, we won't be anything but farmers in a town of cute little ducks.

[theotherww]

Don’t think this means I’ve given up. There’s too much unfinished business I have to attend to.

Appealing to her won’t work. We have to completely shatter this delusion they’ve created.

[faildeus]

Even magic fields should be burned every once in a while, don’t you agree?

[theotherww]

Obviously.

…though this one has turned into a mess.

[He squints at Noah getting involved now. This would have been much faster if Mio just did her job. He’s gonna grab a pancake after all.]
