[ WEEK THREE – EXECUTION ]

EXECUTION

It's... quiet. The morning is quiet and dull and even the animals lingering on the fringes of town seem a bit at a loss for what to do. The town as a whole seems to be waiting with bated breath, for the outcome of the tie.

A few moments later Tarvek and Nisha follow him out, leashed to him by a rope binding their hands and a blindfold around their eyes. In the Sheriff's other hand are two pistols. He'll lead them to the center of the town and place a pistol in each of their hands before pulling out a knife and cutting the ropes binding them. He pulls off the blindfold afterwards.

He turns back to the town after, glancing at the few stray animals that have set up on the porches to watch. A crow nearby caws out from on top of the Saloon sign. The Sheriff looks to the hotel and a moment later, the bells on top of the church begin to ring. He calls out, louder than naturally possible,

"Execution time, folks! Nisha Kadam and Tarvek Sturmvoraus have elected to duel to the death. Come and witness."

And then, as indifferent as ever, he pops a piece of tobacco.

[Nyoom. But with that he's taking both buckets and it's apparently even with messed-up hands he's capable of moving to juggle them both. He gets as close to the flames as possible, gagging on the smell of burning flesh and spitting into the dirt before he starts throwing dirt on the flames themselves. It's a process, jumping back from the heat and trying not to get burned, but eventually both buckets are used as the flames die down completely.

And with that, he stands and just sort of stares at another burned-up body. Thanks, Whole Ass.]

[ honestly papika has a ridiculously good sense of smell so she has just been dying every time there has been rotting or burning corpses around.

she takes a few seconds to catch her breath, but then immediately rushes to percy's side. ]


I hate, hate, hate them. [ her voices still has that hysterical edge, but it's low enough for just percy or anyone else extremely close by to hear. ]

[This poor kid??? But when she returns to his side he looks down, immediately pulling her in closer in a one-armed hug to also protect her nose because gods, thanks guys.]

I do, too. The whole system's messed up. [He lets her stay there for a few moments to calm down even if he himself isn't calm.] ...we can't stay here, Papika. It's over for now.

[ someone is going to have to grab lissa's body and bury it, even if the sheriff is just going to take it again anyway. she deserves that though. that someone... should probably not be either of them though.

so she nods stiffly, finally looking away from what's left of lissa. ]


Ah. Yeah, let's go.
