[22]
[this is a video post. The feed looks like one of those black-and-white security cameras. It shows this room, except without the windows. The only light is coming from the lamps above the stainless-steel operating table. At the head of that table is an electroshock therapy machine.
After about a minute, Larxene is brought it, trussed up in what looks like a straight jacket made out of rubber. She doesn’t look happy, and understandably so. The guards escorting her are wearing rubber gloves themselves and thick rubber boots. They, on the other hand, aren’t showing any emotion at all. Behind them comes a young male nurse, his face looking very set-as if preparing for a battle.
She starts to fight violently as they lift her up and set her on the table, bucking and kicking out her bare feet, seemingly aiming for anything she can reach as she seems to shout and snarl. Unfortunately what she’s saying is anyone’s guess, unless you can read lips, as the video has no sound. As soon as she’s up on the table, her ankles are grabbed and held down, before being strapped to the table by leather straps. Another strap goes around her waist, another around her shoulders. The male nurse steps forward, up to the head of the table, gently moving the machine to the side, right next to him. He picks up a small jar from one of the shelves under the machine and opens it up, using a small wooden stick to spread a gel-like substance on either of her temples. This turns out to be a harder task than originally predicted, and it accidentally goes in her hair and on her nose a bit from her thrashing, before he gets one of the guards to hold her head still. Only then is he able to put the gel on her temples, before forcing her mouth open and pushing inside an odd mouth guard. The guard then presses a hand on her chin and the top of her head to keep her from spitting it out. The male nurse then reaches over and takes a set of things that look somewhat like headphones, placing the flat part over her temples where the gel was placed earlier. Once in place, he turns the dial on the machine up, before pressing down a red button.
Larxene’s body jerks, hard, eyes widening before they’re squeezed shut. Her entire body jerks and moves as if in a seizure, and even with the straps, the guards have to hold her down. This lasts only for about thirty seconds as she twitches and writhes, but then it seems to die down, a muscle in her cheek, her toes, maybe a knee twitching. The male nurse then removes the head set and the mouth guard, and, after undoing the straps, the guards drag her off the table and out of the room.
Just before they exit, you just might be able to catch a glimpse of Larxene’s face. She looks a little dull and lifeless, like she’s no longer all there. But for a moment eyes focus on the camera, her entire demeanor changing in a split second to complete alertness, a wicked smile curling the corner of her mouth for the briefest instant, before her face falls back into dull lifelessness as the guards drag her the rest of the way out of the room.
The feed fizzles out, and goes blank]

[the post is a bit crackly for a moment, before Larxene’s voice comes in]
Well, that was fun. [she chuckles, a bit, and after a moment, it turns into full-blown laughter. And then the post cuts out]
[ooc: If you’d like a better example of what just happened to here, watch this. Except with a lot more flailing and struggling and yelling. Think that scene from ‘The Changeling’.]
