Week 0 Execution
POPULATION: 36
Sunday morning is a calm and quiet affair after the events of the trial before. All traces of evidence and damage has disappeared as of yesterday and Simulations continues to be occupied by the chosen culprit.
At about 1pm, however, everyone will receive a mass text once more.
If you wish to say your goodbyes, meet us in the conference room. Attendance will not be mandatory.
Unlike Saturday, participants will not be forced to enter the conference room. It seems as though you really do have a choice...unless you're BEAUREGARD and ENDORSI JAHAD who will find they cannot resist and will be compelled into walking forward.
As the pair of them enter the conference room, they will find themselves walking through a door hidden away in a corner. The moment they step through it, the door will seal and disappear. The previously dark window soon lights up, providing a clear view of them to all who remain in the room. The four Avatars from yesterday's trial are seated at their table, and the TV that hangs above them turns on as audio begins to filter into the room to provide a clear picture of what's happening inside the other room.
Prepare yourselves, everyone. This may not be easy to watch.

[ because there are two entrances. a pause. ] This is the stupidest fucking way to do justice ever, like - why are you here? You didn't even get voted for? Are they punishing us with exercise?
Whatever. I guess let's do it. I'm not gonna hold back, so. [ she offers a hand to shake. ] Best girl wins?
no subject
[She looks at Beau's hand for a moment, but - well, she'll shake.]
Best girl wins! Just don't think I'll go easy on you. ["Say your goodbyes". She can guess what the stakes are.] On three?
[Turning towards this confusing bounce house...]
no subject
Yeah. On three.
[ she shifts. ] One.
Two...
no subject
[And then, true to her word, she doesn't hesitate before she's sprinting towards the wall at the front of the course.
...Well. She doesn't hesitate until she gets about a foot onto the wall and an incredibly sharp spike shoots out of the wall, close by her face. Then she stops for a fraction of a second, surprised, before she starts trying to go faster.
Death obstacle course. Got it.]
no subject
endorsi's spike hits much faster than beau's - beau is absolutely startled and distracted by this turn of events. which is why she nearly gets a spike to the hand as she reaches up to climb the wall. jesus christ, okay, so - that makes more sense, she guesses? time to go. she scrambles up the wall on her side, throwing herself up and pulling as fast as she can.
of course, she gets about halfway up the wall when a spike comes out and jams right into her thigh. she yelps, but it sinks back into the bounce house, and she - she can't afford to stop. so she keeps going.
she slips a little on the blood as she heads up. ]
no subject
They're not supposed to do that, are they? This is unexpected!
[bounce house of betrayal
Moving towards the top of the wall, though! On the way, another spike jets out and grazes her side, tearing through her dress. She narrows her eyes as she feels it, but doesn't allow herself to stop, getting about three quarters of the way up the wall.]
no subject
it's fine, though. the adrenaline of being stabbed has her moving faster. the spikes are annoying, but now that she knows they're coming, her instincts kick in. she dodges another one, and uses a last one to hoist herself up to the top of the wall. she doesn't care where endorsi is - she's on a mission.
there - there's a slide. on this side. she looks incredibly annoyed for a second before she just jumps and slides down. wheeee....
when she reaches the bottom, she stops just for a second to take in the next part. what. what the fuck is that. ]
no subject
Which is lucky, because after a few seconds, the plastic arms which had been swinging slowly around suddenly shift. The plastic changes to metal, and there are? Maces? Popping out at the ends of each arm. Kapow indeed... When she notices that this is happening, provided Beau is close enough to her, she's going to try to shove her into one of the now rapidly swinging arms. She did say she wouldn't go easy on her.]
no subject
well - honestly, beau can't be too mad because that's fair, if they're racing, if say your goodbyes is something, this isn't out of the question. endorsi pushes her, and beau rams right into one of the metal spikes with a wheeze. she is now bleeding from two places! hooray!
but that's fine, because she's using the momentum of this spike to launch herself off, and throw herself right into endorsi's back, with the intent of knocking her either to the floor or into another mace arm. she will use endorsi as a springboard. binch. ]
no subject
She's grabbing for Beau's leg, trying to pull her down so she doesn't get too far ahead.]
no subject
she's bleeding from both her leg and her side, now, but it doesn't stop her from trying to kick endorsi in the face. sorry!! she drags herself across the bouncy floor, trying to get to the next section. the ceiling seems low... ]
no subject
Anyways, once it's clear she isn't going to succeed in pulling her down, she's getting to her feet quickly. The arms change back to plastic and slow down - it seems like they move in phases, and that gives her enough to time to race after Beau, arriving at the same area and dropping down so she can see what's there.
Under the ceiling is a layer of barbed wire, close enough to the ground that someone crawling on their stomach will just be able to avoid being cut by it. She doesn't waste much time before she's lowering herself to that level and starting to move forward - but before she does, she'll try to kick Beau backwards, aiming right for the injury on her thigh.]
no subject
the kick to her thigh makes her snarl but she's not going to be deterred. unfortunately she's never seen barbed wire before, so she has no idea what to expect. the tangles of it rip through her back, and she has to take a second to get it out of her hair, before getting frustrated and just yanking it away. a chunk of her hair gets left behind as she scrambles after endorsi, trying to claw at whatever bit of endorsi she can reach.
there can't be much more. there can't be. she's going to make it, she's not that far behind, she knows she can beat endorsi on foot, if she can just get to the other side. ]
no subject
Once she's out of the wire, she's pulling herself to her feet as quickly as she can. This area looks open (too open, honestly - she's suspicious), but she starts to sprint as fast as she can towards the exit.]
no subject
so she does. she pulls herself to her feet and lets out a furious roar of a sound before breaking into a dead sprint after endorsi. i won't let them lose you too.
she leaves a trail of blood behind her. it's slowing her down, but she's almost to endorsi, enough to grab for her dress or her hair or whatever the fuck she can reach. there's a flag in the distance, waiting for someone to grab it.
she promised she'd fight. ]
no subject
So she shifts, aiming to strike with her elbow towards Beau's face, hard.]
no subject
she ducks down, instinctive, to try and knock endorsi's feet out from under her, but her thigh injury shrieks in pain and she nearly loses her balance, hissing. ]
no subject
[But that doesn't mean she hesitates at all when she sees that moment of weakness, the pain that gives her an opening. The strike lands, but it isn't enough to knock her over. Seeing that she's off balance, she grabs at the fabric on the other woman's shoulders, trying to hold her in place so she can drive her knee into Beau's face.]
no subject
[ beau starts, but. there's no way she can block, her arms aren't in the right place. endorsi rams her knee into beau's face, and it stuns her. doesn't knock her out, but she's dazed, dropping back to the floor. her hand comes up, weakly, trying to grab, but she misses.
the flag waves quietly in the distance. get up get up get up get up ]
no subject
Hey. Understand that I could have drawn this out longer.
[And strikes towards a spot she knows will knock her out, slamming a fist hard towards Beau.]
no subject
whatever this is, she's going to lose, and she's not even going to get to see it happen for herself. she has a moment of real, fierce panic - she didn't say goodbye, she didn't say it well enough, is she going to die? can he see this happening? is he watching?
it's just a split second, though. she doesn't get to say anything. she's out, collapsing to the ground.
the flag waits. go grab your prize, endorsi.]
no subject
1/2
and even if she doesn't turn back the people outside, watching, can see the floor open up underneath beau. or, well. it melts, more than anything, it burns and cracks as lava crawls up through the floor of the bounce house, erupting violently up and covering beau in intense, awful heat.
it's enough to wake her up.
she screams. ]
no subject
The top of her hair soon disappears and one last air bubble pops. Just like that, Beau is gone.
Then comes the strange suckling sound, the gurgle of liquid flowing down a drain nas the lava begins to disappear. The wheezing of a large gust of air follows as the bounce house begins to deflate. Endorsi will have to run, but as she makes it back to the wall she will find that the hidden door has returned to grant her entrance to the conference room with the other participants.
The conference room goes dark as the lights go out again, the white execution room flashing before going black as the conference room lights up once more. The door has disappeared, and the Avatars are no longer at their table.
The events of the day have finished.]
no subject
She hears the screaming and glances back, eyes widening as she watches Beau goes down. Yikes! Glad that's not her! Horrible. She runs into the conference room as the bouncy house deflates, taking a deep breath once she's inside. Hi.]
