morningdewsvalley | Second Execution

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. ))

Mm, that could be true too.

After all, she does seem like she's rather delusional. Though, I wish she wouldn't get us caught up in it, and just did that all on her own by her lonesome.

Misery loves company, or something like that?

[ he can’t help but agree with them because seriously… ]

We saw what happened when 2B tried, but…

[ his voice trails off. maybe it’s just a silly thing to muse? if attacking makima didn’t work, then… ]

Yes, something like that...

[ Both of them are pretty :handshake emoji: here, haha. ]

...I imagine she probably has a set of powers on her end too. But, honestly, if that's the case, I wonder how exactly everyone who lost theirs might be able to regain their own.

[ Sincerely... what is up with that? ]

Maybe it has something to do with—

[ whatever faldeus is going to follow up with is lost as he sees mio collapse.

something about this… ]

This isn’t good.

[ why does he feel like this might be an understatement? ]

...

[ It sure isn't.

Shinobu is silently seething in the background, hands beginning to crush the onigiri in her hand as she watches Mio lay limp on the floor. ]

[ They should've expected this to happen, but even they hadn't. Their hands clench into fists, because they are not happy about this turn of events. ]

...No, it isn't.

[ Yet, they can't do a damn thing about it.

(Noah is so going to have a field day.) ]

[Noah can cook and ain't no one here even going to try to stop him.

... probably.]

[ Seeing as Mio is still alive, Enkidu would hope Noah would not rampage. ]

Is… is she still alive?

[ did he imagine that twitch? or did it actually happen?

he gulps, a sinking feeling in his stomach. ]

...She might be?

[ Enkidu is wondering if that is the same.

Last movements before death can occur, but if what they're seeing are not the final signs of life as she passes away, then... ]

[ and then the trash fire fucking continues with beelzebub!! ]

What is going on…!?

... that's... what he was afraid of, wasn't it?

It… seems like it.

[ so much is happening and suddenly faldeus is glad he’s way in the back. ]

...That must be his other side.

[ Maybe? Enkidu is frowning as they watch this go down. ]

[ They see this, happening and suddenly are rim-rod straight, staring at Makima. ]

[ but same though ]

[ Glad you're on the same wavelength because they are just. Watching with more of an intense focus than before.

They have no idea what can be done but they are not going to sit around for a mcfricking bloodbath or something?? ]

Can she actually stop him like that?

[ gotta keep watching… ]

She might have more powers that we know of.

[ Enkidu doesn't sound pleased about the aspect of that though for what are probably obvious reasons... ]
