Weapon Story[]
- That's right, this here's the weapon that'll be ending your life. Aw, don't sweat it—there's nothin' to worry about. It'll be a pain the likes of which you've never felt before. In fact, you won't even feel pain at first—it'll be more like water slidin' across your skin. Honestly, for most folks, it ain't the pain that makes 'em scream—it's the sight of their own blood flowin' out of 'em.
- Yeah, it won't end so easy. See this part of the blade right here? This part hurts like a real sonuvabitch. It's my favorite, which is why I always save it for last. I like to use it after people's voices get too hoarse and you can't tell what they're sayin', which is a real...
- Fucking hell, are you ever loud! Mind pipin' down there? You're gonna make my hand slip.
- I won't kill ya right away, so don't worry about a thing there, champ. I'm gonna take my sweet time before ya finally give up the ghost. Honestly, you'd be surprised how much it takes to kill a person.
- I mean, think about it! People got two eyes—most of 'em anyway—and two ears. Ten fingers, ten toes, twenty nails across the lot—and don't even get me started on joints, 'cause folks got hundreds of the damn things! Yeah, we got plenty of ways to keep ourselves entertained.
- ...Huh? Why am I doing this? Now ain't that a question! Buddy, I'm just doing what you've been doing for a good long while now: nabbing innocent citizens on fake charges, torturing 'em, and puttin' their severed heads on display.
- That ring any bells, buddy? It should, 'cause it was all you. Guess maybe you forgot about all that, eh? Well, that's okay. I'll spend all the time it takes to make sure you remember every last thing ya did to my wife and daughter.
- Heh heh... Heh heh heh...
- You see this? This here is for me to cut your life away. There's no need to panic, it won't hurt at the beginning. Later, though, I'll make you feel the worst pain imaginable. And nobody screams at the pain. Just when they see themselves bleed, first.
- But I'm not going to let you off so easy. This part of the blade here is very sharp and painful, so it's only for after I've had my fun. And your voice will go hoarse like that, and become loud and unintelligible. How irritating...be quiet, or my hand just might accidentally slip.
- Don't worry, I'm not going to kill you. Yet. The fun part is drawing all the pain and suffering out as long as you can. You see, humans are surprisingly hard to kill. And besides, we all have two eyes...two ears...twenty digits...and one hundred and forty-four joints. We can take our time.
- You ask me why I'm doing this? Heh...this is all because of you, don't you know? You're the one framing and torturing your people. You're the one putting their bodies out on display. Oh, you don't remember? Then I'll just make you remember each and every thing you've done to my family, one, by one, by one. Hahahahaha...
