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! Please see here for the results of yesterday's voting. In addition, make sure you fill out your CR Chart for Chapter 1!

—Instead of a funeral, it should be birthday parties! Graduation! Wedding! Happy things!! What is he doing talking to you about stuff like that?!

[ whispers hey Keito what the fuck ]

What I'm doing, I'm doing it 'cause I want to see you happy!

[finethanks]

Don't hold it against him. It was just his job, you know? We would have fun and speak about how he thought I should be buried in a pyramid.

[He's able to smile, despite all that just happened... Thank you Natsuo.]

Fufu, it's that... That's a new and rare thing for me. My happiness... I thought I had to reach out and take it on my own, and with a weak body like mine, that also meant crawling over whoever I needed to in order to grasp at it.

[randori]

If it's happiness, you do what you need to do! If there's something that'll make me happy, I go and do it! If somebody hands it to me, I take it! If you can't reach it on your own, I'll bring it closer!! I won't let it disappear, so you can take your time getting to it!

[finethanks]

You're sweet, aren't you? I wonder if I deserve such kindness.

[He doesn't think he does. It's cold here on the ground, the longer he stays, and he shivers a small bit.]

Right now, Natsuo-kun, my happiness is your safety.

[randori]

[ People keep saying that to him— that it's kindness. But it isn't, it's just how things are, how he is. ]

You deserve it. Everybody deserves it. It's like food and sleep- you need it.

[finethanks]

If that's true, I wonder how it is that I made it this far?

[It's only recently that he's had it, after all!]

It's certainly a kindness. [Anyway,] I'm getting quite cold, Natsuo-kun... And I'd like to go think alone for a while, even if it's the last thing that I want. It may be necessary.

[randori]

Then... go take your time. But when the sun sets and I'm free, I'll come back to you.

[ Time alone is a good thing for short whiles. But he absolutely does not want Eichi to feel lonely. ]

[finethanks]

[Yeah, he doesn't need to be alone for too long, or that'll get bad real fast. So, he smiles even more.]

I'll be waiting for you, Natsuo-kun. [A head pat, just to mess with him, and he's standing.]

Please try not to strain your neck too much.
