She's not saying a word. She knows nothing she can do will change what's happening next.
The old man's bowels and large and small intestine spill out once the machine crunches through his lower torso. The most horrifying part of all of this is that, even through the haze of aerosol around him, you can see his eyes.
Somehow, there's still light behind them. He's aware of every single moment of agony his body is being put through.
You decide to rub a bit of salt into the wound before he loses consciousness. You snap your fingers towards the ceiling. You have only one thing to say to Benjamin.
"Just imagine if they did this to Max. If they took her and did this to you in front of your face. You think they're above that?"
>BENJAMIN WILLPOWER: SUCCESS!
The mental image you put in Benjamin's head is enough to transform his wings from smoldering ash to wings made out of blazing blue flames. He shoots out a torrent of blinding blue fire towards the trapped guards below and just like that, the substance they're stuck in lights ablaze.
Benjamin is able to stick the landing once he loses the ability to fly. His ankles buckle and he nearly falls down but he didn't break anything! Good on him.
The old man can only croak out a limp, pathetic 'no!' as he has to watch his guards are now being cremated in front of him. It's the last thing he sees as his arms are pulled into the machine as well. That seemed to be the last straw for his body.
>VIOLENCE CHECK: SUCCESS!
All that anyone in the room can hear is screaming. The last, pathetic wails of the old man as his body finally shuts down. The fresh cacophony of low and high blood curdling screams that are being drowned out by the roaring flames engulfing all of them.
The old man's body is fully subsumed into the shredder not long after his arms got dragged in. You swear you still hear him pathetically rasping for mercy even as his face is torn off of his skull.
You, Seath, Benjamin and the last surviving guard can only watch the spectacle unfolding. The last bits of the old man being pulverized. The skin and muscle of the trapped guards charring and peeling off their very bodies. The sickening scent of burnt flesh and the iron-rich scent of fresh blood lingering in the air.
Seath's the first to laugh. A low, gravely tone befitting of his stature.
Benjamin joins in with his high pitch, bird-like cooing.
Even the guard is joining in with a defeated, soulless laugh at the sheer absurdity of what's unfolding before her.
God. You can see why some people are sadists. Seeing this unfold is so good for your soul.
>Seath loses 2 RESTRAINT from brief exposure to the aersol, 2 from WEAKENED SPORE INFESTED, but heals 10 RESTRAINT from the carnage unfolding and 2 from HOLY TEARS. Total: 17/23
>You heal 5 RESTRAINT. You're at full RESTRAINT!
>Benjamin loses 2 RESTRAINT from using his ability and heals 5 from the carnage unfolding. He's at full RESTRAINT!
