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.
[considering last week, Milla knows exactly what's coming when the Sheriff drags another bound and gagged person out into public. she had expected another quick, clean death, so when the Sheriff starts lighting matches. . .]
[well]
[she jerks forward much like Papika, Percy and Damien do, before she realizes that the flames are too big, too hot, too ferocious for her to get near. she briefly entertains the thought of grabbing one of the two tinies to keep them from burning themselves, but Percy and Jason have it covered, so she takes a step back instead]
[she watches the flames dance and flicker for a moment, jaw set and knuckles white with how hard she's clenching her hands.]
[and then she turns sharply on her heel and walks away]
