EXECUTION III

[faentasy]

Execution

Like clockwork, the melody calls you together for the execution, although the circumstances are perhaps a bit better, if you can even call it that. Those who choose to attend will see an odd sight: two winged beings present in a magical bubble: one is Lucifer of course, six wings folded like they were much of yesterday and the other is a cream colored mourning dove, Nageki.

The mirrors and scenery is much like it was the week before, but—the air feels slightly heavier today? Maybe today is just a day for oddities.

[He's about to answer that when Hamelin pulls out the hand grenades, and, uh. Sorry to be so rude but he's going to grab her hand and try to pull her further away from the explosives??]

[hellochildren]

NO!

[He's screaming and flying at the ball faster than he can think. Find the weak point, shatter it, grab Nageki, and get away. He needs to he needs to he needs to-]

[gemuinemanagement]

[SUGA HAS TWO HANDS and the other is grabbing Pericles. You're too smart to do something this stupid!!]

[sempiternel]

NO!! NONONO!!

[ She shoves Suga away to lunge at the Professor - her Professor, her friend - and holds him tight. Make him stay. Keep him safe. No, she can't lose them both. NO. ]

[hellochildren]

Du Hurensohn! Du Bastard! Flachwichser! Du Fickfehler!

[AAAAAAAAAAAAAAAA-]

[gemuinemanagement]

[BOTH OF YOU are getting physically dragged as far away from the bubble as he can manage.]

[sempiternel]

[ FINE but she's grabbing the bug with a free hand as they pass because nothing here is ever a coincidence. ]

[faentasy]

[Yuri has obtained one (1) pillbug.

Cheers!]

[hellochildren]

FICK DICH! FICK DICH FICK DICH FICK DICH!

[Just so you know, he is struggling with everything in him-sorry for the arm scratches, Yuri.]

[sempiternel]

[ Now she has one (1) pillbug, one (1) angry bird scratching her arm up, and a whole lotta tears. She follows Suga blindly because she can't see through it all.

She would have done it... She would have done it. ]

[gemuinemanagement]

[He doesn't stop moving. His only thought is getting the two of them away from there.

He makes it all the way to the bottom of the stairs before his legs give out from under him from shaking so much and his knees hit the floor.]

[hellochildren]

[He's still screaming. Still cursing. Still struggling. He can save him-he knows he can save him-he just needed to escape this grip-

And then the explosion happens, and the bird stills.

Completely still.]

Herr...Nageki?

[sempiternel]

[ Shaking with the force of her sobs, she leans against Suga and keeps hugging Pericles - that's all she can do. She's sorry her tears are getting all over his feathers. She's sorry she stopped him. She's sorry she still has to lean on Suga's strength.

She's sorry Mister Nageki. ]

[gemuinemanagement]

[There was nothing any of them could do. Suga knows that. He knows.

He clings to Yuri and Pericles in a tight hug, tears streaming freely.]

[hellochildren]

[Pericles doesn't move. He doesn't have it in him to move. Only one thing goes through his mind as the two humans hold him close.

Why...why are my eyes leaking?]

[biyishuangfei]

[ OKAY HE'S DEFINITELY OUT OF THE ROOM BY NOW but why do SO MANY PEOPLE HAVE NO SENSE OF SELF-PRESERVATION!? ]

[faentasy]

[Pericles makes a move towards the bubble.

Even if he doesn't reach it, when he makes a move towards it, a small insect crawls in through the juncture between two of the mirrors on the ceiling. Just a small, black pillbug, barely nail sized.

It falls onto the bubble, bounces on it, and falls to the floor.

Alright then]

[hellochildren]

[Notices, gets grabbed, screams in more German]

[sempiternel]

[ CATCH!! ]
