RIP Ryker’s left arm :D

so ryker got shot point blank with a shotgun to his shoulder— the INITIAL wound knocked out a lot of tissue and cracked his humerus bone! the wound gets to fester for a whole week, getting infected and all the blood loss causing all kinds of problems in the rest of his arm—

he then has his call with the mayor and basically get the all clear to do whatever it takes to get out. and he knows exactly what that means. his original plan is to dislocate both his thumbs and squeeze out of the handcuffs, but the left arm is too numb to get any pressure— so he rips!

this is mostly possible due to the bone already being cracked, once the bone breaks it’s just pulling the rest and baring the pain. luckily, ryker is freaking crazy and can handle that— arm comes off! and he still dislocated his other hand even though he doesn’t need to cause he’s a lil loopy in the moment, but the handcuffs come off!

grabs a the literal bedsheet off the bed and climbs up with one hand to break the obsidian with his BARE HAND.

time skip! ryker gets back with the mayor! the arm is actively bleeding out and he is going to die— so the mayor kills him! and minecraft logic causes the wound to fully close and scar over! now he’s not in danger but the arm is definitely gone!! :D

also the song used in the cutscene itself is called “lockdown” from the game The Escapists! i think it’s neat—

i have many many more thoughts about rykers mental state in this stream but I specifically wanted to drop my canon gore thoughts! :D
