END OF CHAPTER 1 ; EXECUTION

[themodsgrimm]

The Story Continues... END OF CHAPTER 1 - WEEK 134 Narrators Remain ; It's execution day, naughty murder children. Breakfast is served in the dining hall, all the better to fortify you for what is to come. Wherever you might wander in the castle, you will find yourself drawn to the foyer when the clock strikes not twelve, but ten. In the distance, there is the sound of clanking armor. Ann Takamaki appears, flanked on either side by suits of armor, escorting her to her punishment. She stares straight ahead with each step closer to the group that they take. A moment later, the Tiger appears on the foyer's staircase. Her hand trails down the banister as she sashays down it, and she takes her place at the head of the group, standing in front of what appears to be a wall. "Come along, darlings," she says. "The execution awaits." You blink, and then it's there — a door leading to the outside. The Tiger steps through it. You have no choice but to follow. Welcome to your second execution post!

[ look her entire ass hangs out on a regular basis, clothes are meaningless. ]

All right. Hold on.

[ she disappears for a bit, leaving her sweater where it is upon natsuo's shoulders. a few minutes later, she returns with a victorian-esque jacket from the tailor that's probably a couple of sizes too big for him. ]

... It's not a sweater, but it's close.

[ she replaces the sweater with the coat and makes sure it's protecting most of his body from the cold before she slips the sweater back on. pod, snug in its own lil sweater, makes adjustments to both of their garments accordingly. ]

Better?

[randori]

[ He only catches a brief glimpse of it in her arms before it disappears to drape over his back like a blanket. He wishes he could lie down instead of bearing his weight on his knees, but this is definitely a lot better than when he'd first been made to kneel. ]

It's better. I hope the sun'll drop soon, and then it'll be a little more like camping. We could set up a fire, and eat outside, and... uh... throw stuff into the fire or whatever people do when they go camping!

[ He doesn't know; he's never been ]

[ neither does she. the very idea of recreation is a foreign one to her, whose sole purpose is to fight and destroy. luckily, her pod seems to have relevant information stored somewhere in its vast databank, which it relays to 2b; as in the past, natsuo isn't able to hear it.

Report: Subject is likely referring to a "bonfire." Such activities are not recommended under the current conditions. ]

A bonfire, huh... [ she looks thoughtful for a moment, then shrugs. ] You'll have a better idea of it than I do.

[randori]

Bonfire! That's what it's called! You light up a huge bonfire and roast potatoes over it and dance around it and—! and I think people wave around pitchforks and summon demons or something?

[ Pod probably has a better idea of it, yeah. ]

[function]

[ that last comment was directed to natsuo, actually! pod has a lot of knowledge on a bunch of things, but it's limited to the barest of details most of the time.

in any case, 2b crosses her arms after hearing his response. ]

There's no such thing as demons.

[ ... even though the castle has proven her wrong on other things she didn't believe in. shh, don't tell her that. ]

[randori]

I don't think so either, but I've never summoned one before, so I don't know for sure.

[ That's just how things are- everything's a possibility, and it's best to think that way. Widens the options. ]

Do you want to try summoning one together?

[function]

[ there is a long, long pause from 2b.

"Subject appears to be delusional. Proceed with caution."

she's going to ignore that. ]

The last thing we need to deal with in this situation is a demon.

[randori]

[ Thanks, Pod. ]

Oh- uh. Are there no nice demons? Maybe we can summon something nicer? Fairies? Some sort of forest spirit?

[function]

. . .

It's probably for the best that we stay focused on surviving on our own merits, rather than trying to seek help from... mythical creatures.

[ she really hates that she just had to say that. natsuo is so lucky she likes(?) him. ]
