[it took me twenty whole ass minutes to get back to this tag because i was too busy laughing
but anyway--
After making their last selection, the machines will abruptly whirr to life — and pin the group down before they can make a break for it. Nooooo escaping! Some of the arms will focus on holding their limbs still, while another attaches itself to their backs to keep them from moving their torsos. They will feel four pinpricks down their spine. A second later, and they will no longer be able to move. Based on their choices, the following things will happen:
1. The machine arms sort of just. Hover near Belph. And do nothing.
2. One of the arms will reach for Akira's missing eye. Pause. And then move to his remaining eye to pluck it right out. It comes out of its socket with a pop and little more. There is no blood or gore attached; it resembles a doll's eye more than anything else. Akira will, somehow, still be able to see without it. Though everything will now be slightly blurry, and in black and white. Inside his empty socket, there is the occasional blue spark. Huh.
3. Becks said Ash picked body and checkmark, so! :) The arms are going to move for his head, and peel off his face. It comes off with a bit of a schlurp, as if removing something that had been suctioned on. Now that his face will gone, all that will be left behind a mess red motor oil sluggishly dripping... and a metal skeleton. Ah.
4. Finally.............................................. One of the arms will snatch Phoenix's wig. Enjoy being bald, dad.
After this is done, the machines will let go off the group and they will regain the ability to move after a couple of seconds. The four doors swing open simultaneously, and the arms ascend through the ceiling and disappear, taking their loot with them. Seems like they can finally return to the previous room.]
cw eye stuff..............
