HDB- Measurehead Crushing Hand

MEASUREHEAD - Measurehead stoically looks to the distance -- in silence.

YOU - Try again, punch his lights out with a right hook!

[CHECK FAILURE]

PHYSICAL INSTRUMENT - How did this happen? Your little fist is in his giant hand and he's squeezing it. It hurts...

MEASUREHEAD - "YOU MUST BE OUT OF YOUR MIND, DEGENERATE DRUNK." The pressure on your hand becomes unbearable. "SAY IT: *I AM A DEGENERATE ALCOHOLIC*."

PERCEPTION (HEARING) - The crackle of bones, inside... you can hear it.

PAIN THRESHOLD - Don't say it. You're not a degenerate alcoholic, you're a cop and a hero.

YOU - "F... d... dfuck you!"

[CHECK SUCCESS]

PAIN THRESHOLD - Your hand cracks and twists in his grasp but your body is too numb with adrenaline to feel it...

INLAND EMPIRE - He can't hurt you. What more can he do that you haven't gone through already?

YOU - "I am invincible. It doesn't hurt..."

MEASUREHEAD - "RABID ANIMAL, YOU SHOULD BE PUT DOWN." He releases your poor hand from his grasp. "I WILL NOT BE THE ONE WHO GETS YOUR STINK ON ME."
