superhell | WEEK FIVE: EXECUTION

Hello, deadlings.

You were so confident in your choice yesterday. Can you stand by it now? Lucky you, 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. All of them appear to have left behind their work uniforms and are clustered together in a dark corner, watching the stage with various ranges of interest.

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:
TUURI
10AM
Enjoy the show

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

"Hanahaki disease". A fictional disease and romance trope originating in Japanese media and subsequently popularized by fandom.

...It was happening last night, too.

[ what? the fuck? ]

[...]

Did someone curse him after the trial?

Maybe.

[ ugh. ] It must last for a full day. Maybe someone's watching this like it's a bad drama.

[ except it's not, it's real people's lives. ]

[ excuse you he's watching it like it's a GOOD drama ]

... That's essentially what happened the other night, though.

[someone sure did slap on a costume to watch tuuri murder kon!]

Maybe that same person did this to Zelgadis, for all we know.

[Sure wouldn't be surprising, really]

Maybe. Or some other idiot who didn't think this through.

Maybe.

[ he lifts his drink and takes a sip of it, just for the sake of something else to do. ]

Another of those temporary curses, I would guess, unless this is something that actually exists in his world.

[ on one hand, very tasteless time and person to use it on... but on the other, this is peak drama content. ]

[ mephisto is the person watching this like a bad drama ]

Seems like it.

[

he squints tiredly with his very limited human fandom knowledge.]

It's an "anime" thing?

More of a manga thing, but yes, essentially.

Those are practically the same thing.

[no.]

Well, there's a lot of content overlap, but there can be significant differences in how a reader or viewer experiences that content depending on the medium. In this case, imagine a beautifully drawn static image of someone clutching their chest as delicate petals swirl around the page... versus watching and listening to someone retching as they cough up flowers.

[he looks at mephisto

he looks at the stage where tuuri and zelgadis are literally fighting for their life

he looks back at mephisto]

Dude.

[To be fair, you asked, Hunter]

[ shrugs. you started this???? ]

[he asked and now the whiplash is taking him out]

(no subject)

[ bruh ]

[ turns away and sips his drink ]

[ this is the point at which he tunes into whatever the fuck is happening here and then he immediately forces himself to tuen out again ]

[ okay you are ALL missing the CRUCIAL FACT THAT HE DID NOT INITIATE THIS CONVERSATION ]

Oh. So it's not something that usually happens to him...?

[Couldn't have ruled that out, really. Still, if it's not normal then it probably is somebody messing with Zelgadis. Wow, as if he didn't have enough going on with his life these days]

Well, he wasn't doing it during the trial yesterday, anyway. At least not that I noticed.
