Monobear Theatre - Symposium Ira
[TW: #fire, #crushing, #carpophobia]
SACHIKO MAI HAS BEEN PROVEN GUILTY OF BEING THE MASTERMIND...
LOADING... EXECUTION 100% LOADED.
It takes some time for Sachiko’s eyes to adjust to her new surroundings. The sudden bright stage lights were almost blinding, and upon seeing the faces of the audience watching her, she decided that it was a better idea to keep her eyes closed. Sachiko stood front and center on a brightly lit stage with an orchestra of Monobear-headed performers. The top part of the stage was open so the audience could see the rafters and the unusually low stage lights clearly. In the rafters high above her was a lone Monobear holding a marionette control bar. The Monobear lifted the marionette bar and Sachiko bowed in unison. Blood ran down her arms as the puppet strings dug into her skin.
There was no applause from the audience. Not like they even could, anyway; upon closer inspection, they were just simple stuffed dolls with button eyes. Some were dressed to vaguely resemble some of her fellow classmates; some of the others were burnt and ripped up, with their stuffing spilling out onto the floor around them.
With some encouragement from the Monobear above, Sachiko spun around to face the orchestra and lifted her hands as if to conduct. The orchestra began to play, paying no mind to her tempo; there was no use in doing so anyway, as her hands were merely flailing around uselessly. Rather than fighting back, Sachiko allowed herself to be controlled, allowing her body to become nothing but a useless puppet with no will of its own.
The Monobear above began to dance in rhythm with the music. As music reached the peak of a crescendo, sparks and smoke formed behind the orchestra. One of the lower stage lights was pressed against the shell behind them and a fire sparked, quickly engulfing the orchestra. And yet, they continued to play.
As the fire reached the front of the stage, Sachiko’s hands fell uselessly to her side. She blinked and looked at the strings that were attached to her wrists. They were burnt away, giving her the freedom to move. She had a chance. She could escape now, but…
She simply stood there in her spot in front of the orchestra, allowing the flames to consume her. The flames spread up into the rafters and the Monobear above fled in panic. There were sounds of sparking as the flames reached the stage lights, causing them to break and fall onto the orchestra. Sachiko flinched and inhaled sharply, stubbornly refusing the temptation to escape her undoubtedly unavoidable fate. As the last note was played by the remains of the orchestra, the last stage light fell above Sachiko.
