WEEK 1 EXECUTION

[foundationmods]

EXECUTION

Just like before, you all get up in the morning...but you know that after today, there will be less of you.

The Lady appears again, leading you all up the stairs to the third floor, past whatever glimpses of the upper floors you might get. This time, it's to a chapel - where a screen near the altar is already playing a video, the sound of the most beautiful instrument in the world washing over you all as you take a seat in the pews.

The Lady puts down some tarp near the altar, as if expecting this to get messy. When she's finished, she sets her gaze on all of you, her beautiful somehow awful during this moment before someone dies.

"Good morning. Shall we begin this execution?"

Comments

[Hi Phil already craves death. He looks at the Lady in a mild panic.]

What?! You can’t just make me pick how I should murder someone I... don’t hate, let alone force me to go through with it!

[blutsauger]

[Medic, on the other hand, looks fairly enthused.]

Oh, don't worry about that. I don't mind. Just make it interesting for me- I've been stabbed and set on fire more times than I can count, so no to both of those. Iron maiden would be interesting, but I've heard it's a slow way to die, and I don't want Archimedes to have to watch that.

[imstuck]

[Phil... honestly can’t decide if he’s happier or not seeing that Medic is ok with this.]

Ok so... what’s the fastest way to die then? They all look really slow.

[blutsauger]

Hmmm. Fair enough- I suppose that's why shooting isn't an option. They want this to take a while.

How about electrocution? It probably won't be very bloody, but it's the only one that might be over with quickly.

[imstuck]

Why are you saying it won’t be bloody like that’s a bad thing.

[Hi he doesn’t want to be covered with blood.

But he sighs and look over at the Staff.]

I guess we’ll go with electrocution in that case.

[The Lady nods - and the doors open as they bring out...

An old fashioned electric chair, setting it down with a harsh THUNK as they grab medic and begin to strap him in.

The Lady hands him a button attached to it.]

Whenever you're ready, hit the button. There are more than enough volts to kill him with this.

[imstuck]

[This will be easy Phil thinks to himself It's not like I have to drown him underwater or set him on fire, I just... have to press a button.

Yeah, just one button

And yet, watching Medic, realizing that he has to kill someone he cares about, makes Phil freezes up. Suddenly the idea of pressing a button feels as difficult as living a ten ton weight, or swimming across the ocean.

Or being able to successfully leave Punxsutawney, for that matter.

Phil stares at Medic, hands shaking in pure horror.]

[blutsauger]

[Medic gives a thumbs up!]

1/2

[imstuck]

[That

Is enough to at least briefly shake Phil out of his horror, and he gives The Medic a Look.

He's trying to have a moment here at least try to indulge him a little??]

[imstuck]

[Ok he can do this.

Phil swallows as he looks back at the panel he was given.

He pauses for one more moment before he finally...

Presses the button.]

[blutsauger]

[and then the chair lets him go and balloons and confetti go everywhere and no one dies- no. that's not right. hold on

The moment Phil presses the button, there's a hum of energy, and Medic jerks back in the chair. The straps prevent him from convulsing too much, but his body writhes against them. He shouts out something unintelligible at the first shock, which quickly devolves into complete gibberish.

Anyone close enough to the front of the room may be able to smell something like... burning hair and flesh.

The electric hum ceases after about thirty seconds, at which point the body stops convulsing and slumps over.

Medic is not only dead, he's extra crispy.]

[imstuck]

[Phil stares the whole time, in disbelief that he really did that, much less to someone he cared about

As soon as The Medic stops moving, Phil falls to his knees, still staring at Medic's body.

He's fine.]

[tacticalespionageaction]

[Snake does eventually move, straight to the altar. It's too late to do anything for Medic, but Phil's still here.

He scoops him up, much like a bag of flour, and heaves him over his shoulder. Up you get, Phil. He's taking you out of here.]

[imstuck]

[Wow he really wishes he could talk right now because he really wants to ask "What the fuck Snake??" right about now.]
