WEEK 1 EXECUTION

[probe]

POPULATION: 33

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.

Conference room. Don't have to be here, but it's happening anyway.

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 HK-47 and SHI QINGXUAN 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.

We have people who are really good at fighting, don't we? Like, come on!

[headmt]

[well, there's a split second where molly looks over at her, and then immediately back to the robot.]

. . . Not a damned clue.

[holeful]

Sure, but I think a lot of them forgot how, this week?

[niceguyferatu]

[ Vlad stumbles back a few steps because wow girl you are LOUD and also UNEXPECTEDLY VIOLENT about this??? ]

[touchups]

[Harrow is the most valid person here.]

[shiftingwinds]

[well, uh.

shi qingxuan doens't appear to be in the best shape to start with. in fact, anyone who caught her on tuesday will probably recognize that she looks hungover as all hell - she's very deliberately trying to avoid looking at bright lights. if only she'd thought to bring some sunglasses...

when they pass through the door in the corner of the conference room, she grits her teeth and surveys their surroundings. it's a small room, and on the opposite wall, there's a crystal the size of a palm. above it, there's a timer that reads 5:00.

a moment later, the timer flashes, and changes -

SURVIVE, then flashes back to 5:00, then starts to count down - 4:59, 4:58...

she doesn't wait. she ignores the pounding in her head and yeets herself toward that opposite wall. last time, endorsi had escaped this by grabbing the flag at the end. if she can get her hands on that crystal, then maybe...?]

Do you think you're going to walk out of here? I won't let you lay a finger on them!

[she doesn't notice that the walls have begun to close in on them, very, very slowly.]

[enfangs]

Pride's thing, maybe.

[toesies]

[harrow is SO valid.]

[touchups]

[FROWNING... MA'AM HOW IS THIS A FAIR FIGHT except apparently someone gave the robot a heart attack at least. Misa is that you.]

[headmt]

She's strong, she'll-- She won that contest.

[she got eighth.]

[maelstroms]

[ His grip does tighten reflexively on it when Qingxuan yells, but there's no swinging.

Better safe than sorry, though. ]

[enfangs]

[yea harrow valid]

[headmt]

[his tail swishes?]

I-- maybe.

[femmefinale]

[ DOES THAT LOOK LIKE SOMEONE WHO CAN KILL A ROBOT!!!! ]

I have concerns.

[holeful]

Oh... that's right, miss Qingxuan was drinking a lot last night...

[He's a little hungover himself actually he also looks fairly haggard.]

[maelstroms]

[ The gesture almost doesn't get a reaction out of him, but he doesn't pull away or shrug it off, and instead actually takes a deep breath he seemed to have forgotten. ]

[niceguyferatu]

[ Vlad is here and trying very hard to stand tall and watch this with all the composure of a man befitting his station but--

jesus christ, all of you are so LOUD and everything is so BRIGHT

So he'll actually be standing off to the corner, hunched ever so slightly to hold his head in one hand, eyes squinting and only sometimes open at all. ]

[maelstroms]

[ This is not a great outcome for voting the murder robot off, yeah. ]

[liuli]

Mn.

...I'm not usually one for praying. [ but in this case, for this god...c'mon, shi qingxuan. you can do it. as the timer goes up: ]

Survive - she just has to outlast him?

[toesies]

[thinks about their prides

and slowly nods.]

I could see that being it, yes.

[fisherwoman]

[When she sees the timer...]

This is ridiculous.

[toesies]

Not all of them.

[and now is sqx is hungover, so that's not great.]

[holeful]

I wonder how it's decided, exactly...

[femmefinale]

[ She doesn't say anything, so much as the look on her face pretty much states the exact same sentiment. She just moves a little closer, even if her gaze doesn't leave the window. ]

[toyska]

[It's gonna be a long five minutes, huh.]
