Otto's heart beat stopped, the organ clenching tightly in his chest at the drop of Eva's name. It was much more grave and serious a meeting than he'd imagined. Hand waved the warnings as though it was all a usual day in Deus. Happened all the time, and everyone was always alive at the end of it. This was final punishment, with very real and imminent consequences. And one of those people was Eva. Dakota was another. People he held attachments to. His words caught in his throat, feeling helpless to save any of them. More than enough people stood up to protest uselessly, like they had any say in what Caelius did. Gale put his life on the line for Eva, something Otto would have done in a heartbeat had be been a little faster about it. Clerise put hers on the line for Dakota.
If they all failed.. he'd lose almost all his friends. He'd be all alone again.
It would be a very nerve-wracking 24 hours. Would they still be alive when he woke up the next day? If he slept at all.
Otto pushed slowly out of his chair, moving to head out. However, the sentencing and banishment of Kat and Ryan had his attention. He paused near the door, watching in an almost hypnotic state as they were sent out into a place that continued to give him horrid and vivid nightmares to this day.
Caelius's words rang heavy in his mind. The atmosphere of the room was suffocating, and not because of the sandstorm that had blown through the portal. With a heavy heart, a weight that threatened to crush his spirit, he exited the room.

Jude was in that state of aware but unaware of what was happening, subconsciously filing away the things that were occurring but focusing on getting Robert out.
"Sorry about that, Cass. I'll make it up to you," he promised with a grin.
Perhaps standing up for a friend had put him in a ridiculously good mood. Not focusing on the ongoing punishment made the guilt non-present. Can't help everyone. He helped Deryk and Cass lift the monument that was Robert. He began marching backwards, "To the infirmary we go~," he singsonged quietly.
"Huthut...Huthut...Big man weighs a ton..."
It was slow going but they'd make it.

Ofelia was more or less pulled out by Wilson, her eye never really leaving the spot where the portal had been. The sand was still stinging at her skin from the hot winds.
That was. . . a fate she never wished to see or think of. Dying would be so much easier, and she was so much more ready for that.
Her ability to write a report was all that would save her?
She hoped they mounted heads on pikes because she'd try to grin when it happened.
