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. ))

[Noah may have sat the first execution out, but he has no intention of looking away from Beelzebub's. He has his reasons for being here and watching on, of course, but so does everyone else. He'll pass on the free food.]

[noah: refuses to use lucky seven unless absolutely critically necessary

[ He places a hand on Noah's shoulder. Seeing Mio up there.... it can't be easy for him, not at all. ]

[revelate]

[UNDERSTATEMENT,

but it isn't Mio he's worried about. Noah's eyes are fixed on Adela and Makima. All it would take for this tenuous balance to be thrown into disarray is one wrong move.]

[driftingknight]

[Yeah, he's watching this entire thing for exactly the same reason...]

[revengier]

[ He sighs, watching the conversation between Adela and Mio.

There's no reality in which this can end well. ]

[revelate]

[Hearing this, Noah snaps.]

That's a load of shit! [cue canned audience gasp] What you call freedom is slavery! It's theft! It doesn't have to be this way, Adela!

[revelate]

[And again—]

Mio! You don't have time to waste!

[Striking with the blunt edge of his Blade will only draw out the inevitable conclusion. There's no other choice— not when drawing this out any longer might cost Mio her life.]

Kill him!
