FINAL WORDS

[raisingproject]

[beyondmoe]

[He just frowns.]

14 again...? Unbelievable.

EXECUTION: SECOND BEST

[raisingproject]

After his final words, Beyond Birthday will suddenly disappear from the trial area and a screen will appear for everyone to watch his execution...

Beyond Birthday wakes up in the middle of a black stone floor. As he pulls himself to his feet and the chains attacked to the shackles at his ankles, trips a wire. Sparks fly dropping to the ground and ignite a trial of fluid. The flames devour the path, following it in every direction until he's surrounded. There's no where to run. He's completely caged in.

But drawn on his palm hand is an arrow pointed up. He'd noticed it as the fire moved but hadn't bothered to with it. He looks up. The ceiling is on giant mirror. Despite the heat and rapidly declining oxygen, he still laughs at the giant flame carved BB.

Until the sound of bare feet on metal catches his attention. The video helpfully puts a name here for the viewers.

L, in old script. L watches BB in silence from the overhead walkway. Rocks and debris crash all around Beyond Birthday, altering the lines of flame. L points at the ceiling. Just as the fire closes in the mirrored ceiling explodes. Shards of mirror glass rain down like a hail of arrows shredding their target to ribbons. The fire makes work of the rest consuming it, blood and all as if it were all just more fuel. When it's over and the dust settles, only BB's eyes remain fixed on L.

L shuts his eyes and turns away, walking from the scene with one hand stuffed into a pocket. The view pans to BB's eyes and the number 0 over L's head.

And once that is done and over with, everyone will once again be teleported into the lobby. It's been a long day, you might as well get some rest.

[imitationsoul]

You were in quite the hurry to leave this place, weren't you?

[telecosmetic]

No! [Eliza is just going to...rush forwards and hug him.] This can't be true! You can't have done this! It's...it's all circumstantial evidence anyways! [She's going to devolve into gross sobbing now, congrats.]

[partyleader]

BB-kun... I want to ask you something, before...

[Before you go. Before they take you away to die...]

Even when I was practically accusing you... The only thing you had to say was that I would be good at writing shoujo manga. And you had such a mysterious look on your face.

I don't... understand. Why would you bother to tell me that?

[hihiou]

Yeah, I bet it is.

[zackthekiller]

[Zack grabs at Eliza's collar and pulls her back.]

Get away from him! He's not what you thought he was!

[theotherother]

Is that really all you have to say?

[breakingthrough]

I guess some things are just inevitable.

[Edna doesn't entirely blame him-- this situation is in part to blame. Still... she can't quite forgive him for trying to kill her in his place.]

[buylowsellhigh]

....

[Recette has questions she wants to ask, whys and whats, but honestly... she's not strong enough to not break out crying after everything.]

[telecosmetic]

What the-[Eliza stumbles forwards when BB disappears from her grasp. She glances up, seeing the screen in front of her, and screams.]

No! Magical Metamorphosis! The Magnificent Mystical Mirage! [In a glimmer, she shifts into her magical girl form, before rushing forward in an attempt to punch the screen.]

[telecosmetic]

What do you mean? [She reaches up a hand to try and tug herself free.]

[breakingthrough]

[...she's not any good with this kind of thing, but...

She offers Recette a hug anyway. This has to be difficult for her. So... supporting her is the least she can do, even if it's awkwardly.]

[zackthekiller]

ELIZA!

[He's got his phone out, ready to change forms and pull her away.]

[It's a brutal execution, no doubt about that, but from what a fucked up psycho B turned out to be, Zack's got no remorse for him. Eliza, though...]

That's enough already!

[telecosmetic]

[Eliza is still going to fight, but he probably has height advantage over her, at least.] Why-why is he showing us this? Why do we have to watch it happening? At least-at least let me break it!

[zackthekiller]

He's like that doctor! Seemed so sweet and innocent, but too fucking obsessed to think like a normal human being.

[It doesn't occur to him for a second that Danny is not here and nobody is familiar with him.]

[zackthekiller]

...

[He does, but he understands her rage born of desperation.]

... Try it, then.

[telecosmetic]

[That...actually makes her pause.] Doctor? What are you talking about?

[breakingthrough]

...even so, he didn't deserve that. No one does.

[What sick person was behind all this, pitting people against each other. Hoping to murder them in this fashion.]

This is the kind of person we're facing.

[This was almost as great a feat as facing the Lord of Calamity himself. The malevolence in that person... she wondered how it would have matched up. She has to live if she wants to find out.]

[beyondmoe]

Mmm. As I told Fav on the first day, I have unfinished business. It's probable this wouldn't have gotten me out in time... but it was one consideration.

[telecosmetic]

[Eliza steps forward, before pulling back her fist and punching the screen. She probably doesn't do the actual punch pretty well, but she's going to keep following it up with more, even as they fail to work.]

Stop it! Stop it! [She probably isn't going to stop until it ends or someone pulls her away.] Why is everything going so wrong?

[beyondmoe]

....!

[He wasn't expecting a hug. Um. What... does he do with this.]

Eliza...

[Well, she's right. He's pretty disappointed they only got as far as the circumstantial evidence. But he doesn't want to say that to her.]

[raisingproject]

You can try to break it, but it's not going to work, pon. That thing's unbreakable, pon.

[1/3]

[zackthekiller]

[... Oh, yes. May as well make his explaination a cautionary tale.]

I knew someone from back home who was a doctor. Doctor Danny, he called himself. Now, Danny worked in this one building where he got patients who were lost and confused, and he seemed oh, so innocent when he saw them, and he spoke oh so sweetly and seemed oh so nice...
