WEEK ZERO: EXECUTION

[hellscapes]

Hello, deadlings.

Ha. Ha ha.

Yesterday was a wild chain of events, wasn't it? Nine hours is a long time to work, but you solved the case and voted for the correct culprit. Lucky you. But the weekend "fun" isn't over just yet.

On Sunday morning, you'll soon hear a sound coming from the dock. There's a large ferry waiting for you, and even if you resist you'll eventually find yourself compelled to climb aboard and set off on a short voyage. The islands around you look fairly blurry, but you don't go very far before you stop at a slab of land with two large buildings stationed. You won't be able to look at the one on the right now, the one you've come to know as the trial bar. Instead, your feet navigate you to the building on the left as the door creaks open. On your way in, you notice some posters hung beside the door, advertising today's event.

Inside is a bar. It's pretty swanky in comparison to the others you've seen, tables and chairs arranged comfortably for everyone to have a seat and spread out however they'd like. The bar is fully stocked with all kinds of alcohol along with an arrangement of bar food for anyone who's feeling a bit peckish. At the head of the room, there appears to be a stage washed in red lights with a wide area for performances.

At a table in the corner all six demons are gathered around.

-Bloody Mary and Midori are seated together, staring intensely at the stage.
-Blue Hawaiian and Malibu Sunset are draped over each other, phones in hand and slightly covered by Cosmopolitan.
-Rosé is seated nearby, tapping their foot impatiently.

As you find your seats and get yourself something to drink, darkness begins to fill the bar and a banner unfurls over the stage.

TODAY'S PERFORMER:
BUCKY BARNES
10AM
Enjoy the show

No matter where you look, you will find that Bucky is not amongst you. But there isn't time to look further before the lights dim and the curtains draw.

EXECUTION

[hellscapes]

[ as darkness settles around the room and the red lights glow brighter, two figures walk across the stage. the lights adjust, making it difficult to see who they are at first, but a soft shimmer appears around the area to create an impenetrable barrier.

whatever's about to happen...well, the audience may look, but they can't touch. ]

[armedmascot]

[ Bucky walks on, and the lights are immediately overwhelming. He brings his hand up to shield his eyes, but only for a moment. He's used to being on stage. He's used to being a spectacle. He looks out over the audience, back straight and ready for...whatever this is.

He looks to the rest of the stage. Wow, this is, uh, very red. And very dramatically lit. His shadow, cast across the floor and onto the hind curtains, looms ominously. They're really making a damn show out of this, huh. ]

[greatvalue]

[From the backstage area, a second figure emerges... And it's Hunter! Your remaining Hunter. Boy, you burned through one of those already, huh?

He shields his eyes against the light with one hand, his body casting a long shadow while he squints and wills his eyes to adjust. It takes him a second, but...]

What? [He glances at the audience first, eyes wide. And then he seems to realize that 1) he's on a stage, and 2) he's not alone.] You.






[Anyway. Sorry, gang. He's going to throttle Bucky right away. Some puns can never be forgiven. "He killed Hunter 1." Some puns--]

PEANUT GALLERY

[hellscapes]

[ Your reactions go here. There's space to sit back and enjoy the performance, and while the doors are closed you really could leave if you absolutely wanted. But will you...? You can't leave to interfere with the stage or the ongoings that are occurring, but with a little push you can slip through the exit any time after it starts. ]

[ontrend]

[oh, good, another bar.



kuranosuke does not want to be sober for this and will be starting the day off right with a giant mimosa, thanks.]

[voidshift]

[mood! he also already has a drink, some kind of purple cocktail.]

Better or worse experience than yesterday, do you think?

[ontrend]

[once their eyes have adjusted and they can all see who the second figure is - ]

KICK HIS ASS, HUNTER! YOU'VE GOT THIS!

[selfdestructs]

[ dva is here, a familiar lil friend held in her arms. they're both looking equally confused by all of this. ]

What kind of clown show is this.

[refate]

[ sitting at the same table, arms crossed as he leans back in his seat. ]

Considering the main performer, a clown show of the highest magnitude.

[preordain]

[ ryo is sitting at a table and on his phone ]

[preordain]

[ well, as soon as bucky is dead ryo is going to finally look up from his phone, shove it in his pocket, and leave. ]

[firstandgreatest]

... How many bars are in this place?!

[failbo]

[Of course Filbo is watching. It's partly his fault Bucky and someone else is up there, so he's watching every moment of it. Every vote counts when it's about condemning someone]

[toyska]

[Childe is here with Seelie-chan as usual. No drink this time; he's just standing with his arms crossed, a neutral expression on his face.]

[psynchronise]

[ well he still has his comedy blue heart straw



and it’s stuck in a very stylish whiskey glass about this big. he’s fine. ]

[cavaliered]

[gideon is here, with some pretty cool face paint. it's a little smudged but it's fine. she's manspreading in a chair.

the expression on her face suggests that she is considering getting a drink.]

[engineers]

[ well, this doesn't bode well. seated at a table with his elbows resting on the surface and his fingers laced together, hands in front of his mouth is lu bixing.

there's a drink in front of him but it's untouched. ]

[polyglotti]

[She's very Unsure about all of this, and she really doesn't want to be here. Nothing good can come from this.

Still, she ends up at a table, watching fretfully. She knows something is going to happen, and she's going to be anxious until they find out what it is.]

[hardrocklife]

[Zelgadis had the foresight to bring a coffee this time. He's sitting at a table and drinking it.]

[astika]

[chandra is seated but has apparently elected not to get a drink, just watching the events unfold with an impassive expression.]

[tearduct]

[He refuses to sit and is instead standing focused on the stage, a tight expression on his face and both hands fisted.]

[teufelshund]

[ mephisto brought his (thoroughly washed, thank you) pink heart straw from yesterday and sticks it in his drink when they arrive at — surprise — another bar.

well, let's see what kind of show this turns out to be. ]

[birdeater]

[ Junhyeong is seated and looking as pissed as usual.

Let’s fucking goooooooooo. ]

[reignite]

[ on my way to lunch but! if only Uriel would stand up and walk away smh..

Unfortunately, she is here observing. Watching the scene before them with a sense of familiarity, as though she's been in this situation before, but she remains silent as she observes. ]

[nascens]

[Scaramouche is here looking cranky as usual, arms crossed and settled in a seat a fair distance from others.

But as the execution draws on, anyone who happens to not be fixated on the riveting performance onstage might notice that the seat is vacant sooner or later. Bye binches.]
