WEEK ZERO: EXECUTION


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.
-RosΓ© 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.

[This whole thing is rather alarming, but it's when Hunter's shadow changes that Tuuri really reacts. She let's out a gasp and sinks down in her seat, like she's trying to be as unnoticeableas possible.]

[As he starts to scoot his chair closer, Tuuri quickly reaches out with her arm to grab for his to stop him. At the same time, she holds her finger up to her mouth in a 'shh' gesture.

And actually, Lu Bixing might be able to notice it if he's looking: ever since the moment Hunter's shadow showed up, Tuuri has been silent. Not just quiet, but absolutely silent. Her breathing has shallowed to the point where you can't even hear the slightest bit of a breath coming from her. Even her gestures to get Lu Bixing to be quiet are done silently.

[ this sure feels like trauma!! wow!!! he looks deeply concerned, but doesn't say anything, just moving enough to very gently put his hand on her arm. :( ]

[:)

It isn't until the end, when Bucky falls down dead and the shadows finally retreat, that Tuuri finally makes some kind of noise.

It's a quick, half-muffled sob, one that she tries to cover up as soon as it escapes her.

[Mood.

He gives her shoulder another squeeze of reassurance, but very quickly pulls away and hurriedly leaves without looking at anyone else.]

[And things are getting Worse and she is sinking down in her seat further.

She doesn't want to watch anymore, but at the same time she's afraid of those shadows leaping off the stage and going after them.

[He moves away from Gideon briefly so he can put a hand carefully on her shoulder once he’s up beside her.

He stays quiet actually, just offers a squeeze.]

[Thank you Akira, Tuuri looks honestly terrified right now.

She actually grabs for his arm to just have something to hold onto for a moment. Her grip is a little tight too.
