THE END IS NEAR.

♫

You wake on Sunday.

Thunder is roaring in the background now with frequent lightning strikes. The rain pours heavily down onto the resort, which is starting to look worse for wear. And yet, the spirits come in irregular bursts.

Sunday, as promised, is also Hild's execution. While you normally don't get to view those, the movie theater seems to be on again at exactly 9:00AM,, a few hours later, just like yesterday. And sure enough, you get a good view of everything: Hild, the Manager, and the rest behind them. And they are all at a site that executions normally aren't at, for those who've seen them.

They're near a well -- the one that Lucas and Zena have talked about before.

The spirits that were plaguing you earlier were around in larger quantities earlier this morning, nuisances to be shoved aside in your pursuit of figuring things out with the shard. Wherever it is, it seems to continue its pulsing, almost like a siren's call to the desperate ones that seem to be vying after it.

But now, they're starting to appear less and less. A sign that something's going to happen soon. For a few moments, you get to spectate what's going on in the living.

EXECUTION SPECTATING

[mayoiga]

[ Or...whatever else you end up doing on this fine morning, really! ]

[attritional]

[ Iria has been throwing the spirits for some very needed stress relief, but decides to take a break from that when she sees the mini theater operating. ]

... This isn't the beach for the usual execution.

[ She also thought executions weren't visible to the people here, but she wonders if it's because it's the last one. }

[circuitice]

It isn't?

[attritional]

The last two executions took place on a beach. I wonder... the well looks ominous. It's probably to finish up the ritual.

[circuitice]

... Most likely.

[attritional]

... We should also be prepared.

[ Watching the execution play out is one method of preparation. ]

After all... previous Guests are no longer around, and there must be a reason why.

[catarou]

... No, it isn't.

[ He looks extremely unsettled! ]

I see she has deigned to take matters into her own hands from the start.

[attritional]

I feel like there have been less spirits around too, so that's why I managed to come to the mini theater.

[ If they were still out there in higher numbers, she'd still be outside, throwing them. ]

... I wonder if Miss Hild being a demon ruler somehow has to do with it.

[catarou]

Perhaps.

[ He's actually very invested in this execution--not that he wouldn't be otherwise--but he sure wants to see Hild take on the Manager.

Ramuda and Dice are here, too, and for once, they aren't honking obnoxiously. ]

I wonder how this will play out.

[attritional]

[ Another goose added to Gentaro's ranks... Iria has her goose next to her too, and it's been quiet the whole time, but mostly because Iria has been feeding it lettuce. ]

I also wonder... how much resistance Miss Hild could put up against he Manager. It seems she has no intention to die. After all, the half number has already been established, and she made a contract with Miss Remilia...

[mayoiga]

[ Sorry to interrupt your theorizing and spectating of this event, but not long after the execution starts, you hear rumbling in the near distance. It could sound like the thunder, except you kind of feel the floor shake a little. This is mixed in with the sound of someone shrieking.

It sounds like it's coming from the floor below you. Floor Four. ]

[catarou]

[ Hm. ]

... I suppose we should investigate.

[ Actually, that's very concerning, and Gentaro's already headed there with geese in tow. ]

[attritional]

Yes, let's go.

[ Iria doesn't waste time and follows Gentaro. She has a small bag of salt with her just in case if this is like... a bunch of spirits attacking at once. ]

I wonder who the scream belongs to...

[mayoiga]

[ Iria and Gentaro (and anyone else who tags along) make their way to the Fourth Floor. There is nothing immediately visible other than the door to SWEETHEART's Room being open...which also conveniently happens to be where the shrieking is coming from. ]

[catarou]

[ ..............

He's going to look inside because, uh, what the fuck. ]

[attritional]

[ Iria is so ready to throw salt. ]

[hypnosismaik]

[ here with a dozen geese as usual ]

Ah... Is there a problem?

[circuitice]

[ honestly, he's ready to stab something so ]

[mayoiga]

[ Probably for the best, because when they look inside, they will see something pretty horrifying.

The shrieking is in a lower register, lower than SWEETHEART's, thankfully -- and it's coming from some sort of entity that's wearing the face of a stranger. But for anyone who's visited SWEETHEART's room, they'll recognize this face as CAPT. SPACEBOY. The creature is wearing his face like a mask and the rest of it is a pitch black body; something that's pretty ghost-like in nature, though it has hands that are placed on its head. The face itself has a crack going down the middle.

(CAPT. SPACEBOY'S portrait, which was once hanging there, is now gone.)

The face flickers back and forth between his -- and then Kaeya's, Diluc's, Kuroi's, like it can't decide what it wants to be. It's howling in...frustration, perhaps?

But you do see a flicker of a weirder face at the end of it before it finally settles on being Kaeya. It seems like it's wrapped up in its own troubles, but it is notably pretty large. ]

[attritional]

[ Iria doesn't think it's fair that this one doesn't come with fishnet leggings with heels like she was subjected to in the special floor, but it wears Kaeya's face.

...

She throws salt at the eyes. Die. ]

[hypnosismaik]

[ ahaha ]

[circuitice]

Oh, I really don't like this.

I'm going to kill it. Again. Any objections?

[attritional]

None here.

[catarou]

[ ........

What the fuck.

While Gentaro is attempting to process this, his geese start honking aggressively and flapping their wings threateningly at the thing. ]

[hypnosismaik]

This is why it's easier to just have people keep their faces covered...
