END OF CHAPTER 3 ; EXECUTION
END OF CHAPTER 3 - WEEK 3 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. Yamatonokami Yasusada appears, flanked on either side by suits of armor, escorting him to his punishment. His expression is one that may be difficult for anyone who isn't a sword spirit to read, but he seems to have accepted his fate. 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 third execution post! Please see here for the results of yesterday's voting. In addition, make sure you fill out your CR Chart for Chapter 3!

THE PARTNERLESS
Souji is made to rejoin the group, but the rest of them find themselves unable to move - except, that is, for 2B and Rapunzel. Much like Souji, they find themselves heading down to join the Tiger on the lawn, their legs moving for their own accord.
When they arrive, they find themselves overcome with a sudden burning sensation. Many phantoms feelings pass them all at the same time: their feet undergo a sensation like they're being ignited with flame, their heart is going to be pulled out of their chests, and there is the faintest feeling as though a blade is cutting across their necks - the roulette wheel spins for how their death is going to be carried out as partnerless until—

2b҉
҉f̧̢̕A̛c̶̡E̷͢ ̶t͜H̸̛E̛ ͡s͏̨̕t͏Ơr̵̢̕M̡̛
The words echo in their minds, and in the minds of the onlookers.
There is nothing anyone can do.
They blink, and the gallows appears - a wooden contraption with steps leading up to where a noose awaits. The suits of armor that had escorted Yasusada to the lawn push her forward, urging her to climb. They help her place the noose around her neck. They tighten it just so. A moment passes, then two - Rapunzel will have just enough time to sweep her gaze over the crowd - and then one of the suits takes a wooden lever into its hand, and pulls. The floor falls out from under Rapunzel, and her bare feet dangle over the ground as she hangs.
Dark, tumultuous stormclouds roll in over the area, and 2B's head tilts upward to look at them. There's a sense of something almost electric in the air, making everyone's hair stand up on end - and then, in a flash of lightning, 2B is struck. The roll of thunder reaches their ears with only a second's delay, followed by another and another as lightning strikes not once but twice more. When the dust clears, 2B lies on the ground, her fingertips twitching as if something is misfiring - and then she goes still. Clouds still hang over the group, but no more lightning strikes.
Rapunzel and 2B have followed their partners into death.
