Entry tags:
fear is a device
Who: Emily and Maketh
What: Continuation of this unfortunate mess.
Where: The UD house
When: March 22
Warnings: Violence, mentions of cannibalism and suicide.
A time hadn’t been specified for the exercise. Just a promise. One week for Emily to recover, and then – then it would be over, they’ll be even, and Maketh can forget the whole thing ever happened in the first place. Clearly civilians do things different – Maketh sees that now – but if there’s a protocol, then she can memorize it and everything will be fine.
Just because the rules are different doesn’t mean they aren’t there.
Maketh dresses herself carefully, making sure that her uniform is crisp, all the lines ironed to sharp points, and her boots polished. Everything just so, exactly as it ought to be. Maketh made a mistake, forgot the rules once, so she has to be extra careful to remember them in the future. For everything.
She shows up on the doorstep when she’s sure that only Emily is home, then knocks on the door. She stands at strict attention while she waits. This is necessary. This must be done right.
