She sits on the chair, legs crossed, waiting in anticipation.
Her friend takes an object, shows it to her to reassure her.
Explains what it is, how it works, what it does. Something to do with electromagnets, currents in the brain, and depth of stimulation.
Explains how it can have an impact on activity in specific parts of the brain.
She doesn’t understand half of it, but she gets the gist, and it sounds fun.
A couple of switches are flicked. Maybe a button is pressed, or a large dial is turned.
Her friend moves the object back, holding it to the side of her head.
Nothing happens.
She opens her mouth to enquire, and gibberish falls out. She can’t even form a word, let alone a sentence.
Her friend smiles.
She blushes.
She does not collapse, or raise her hands to cover her face. She wouldn’t be a good test subject if she did that.
Her friend moves the object to the back of her head, and flashes of light appear in her vision.
Her friend moves the object to the top of her head, and she jolts a little bit, her senses feel off.
Her friend moves the object to the front of her head.
Her mind goes blank.
If she could plan, or reason, or imagine, she would hear the pleasure in the voice of her friend as she explains the role of the frontal lobe in complex thought.
As it is, she sits limply, eyes open and empty.
The object is removed, turned off.
Thoughts rush back into her mind.
Her friend takes her hand.
Moves it up to her lips.
Thanks her for being such a perfect thing to study.
Kisses the back of her hand.
Once more, her mind goes blank.
She smiles, stands, and together they sweep out of the room.
-literally any sentence- "anyway stream left right goodnight"
Every time my aromantic ass sees a wedding dress in a charity shop or thrift store I am deeply tempted to buy and clean it for the sole purpose of getting absolutely ruined while in it send post.

The door swings open and closed as she is pushed through and into the room.
The hand of her friend rests in the space between her chest and her shoulder, forcing her backwards and backwards and down.
Her back meets the lip of the bed, but the pressure does not relent.
Sure, she could resist and stay standing and put an end to this fun, but she chooses not to.
She continues backwards, falling onto the bed.
The hand is removed from her body.
She stays still.
Her limbs are strewn about around her. Her hair fans out where her head met the bed. Her eyes, looking so so empty, stare emptily and needily upwards.
A click.
Her eyes regain focus for a second, and she looks up at her friend, standing there with a camera and looking at her through the viewfinder of her camera. A smile plays at her lips, disguised by the plastic and metal and electronics that serve to immortalise this moment. The aperture moves and refocuses on her.
Another click.
The shutter opens and closes.
The smile on her friend’s face widens. This must have been a good photo, she thinks.
Her friend reaches down towards her.
Her eyes flicker open and closed.
Her hand is on her clothes. Her friend relinquishes the camera for a moment, pulling her limp arms above her head before she smoothly pulls her top off of her.
She shivers, suddenly exposed to the cold air.
Her friend giggles, and she stills once more.
The lens moves backwards and forwards.
Another click.
This time her friend does not let go of the camera. Her hand caresses her chest, then moves around to her back, and undoes the clasps of her bra before deftly removing it, throwing it into the corner of the room.
She takes her time with this one, getting the perfect angle and lighting and focus.
The subject is already perfect, she thinks.
Another click.
Her friend moves again, and pushes her skirt upwards.
Another click.
Her friend stretches out, and brings her skirt down, discarding it onto the floor.
Another click.
Her tights are removed. She can hear them breaking and she does not care.
Another click.
Her underwear goes next.
Another click.
…
Her friend pauses, and looks down at her, a slight frown on her face.
She turns.
She throws a pillow down before her, intent clear.
Her subject is so lovely, but she wants more.
Why not see such a lovely thing in action and movement?
She stirs, and takes the pillow between her legs.
She moves, repeated movements backwards and forwards and so on.
Another click.
Her friend’s hand is on her hair.
It rests there for a moment.
It pulls, short and sharp and painful.
Another click.
The hand moves down to her mouth.
She opens her mouth, and her friend drives her thumb inside, pulling on her cheek.
Another click.
Their hand is removes and placed on her chin, forcing her upwards to look at her.
Another click.
Another click.
Another click.
She comes undone. She writhes and begs and whimpers and moans and shakes. Her mouth moves, making no coherent sounds, only noise. Her eyes roll back in her head and then return, glassy and vacant.
Another click.
She is released, and falls back down onto the bed.
Another click.
Her friend lies down beside her, and brings her camera up, showing her the screen.
There are so many photographs of her, exposed and limp and moving and broken, and her friend delights in showing her empty and exhausted eyes each and every last one of them.
What little of her mind remains drifts into the embrace of sleep.
One last click, for good measure.
Idgaf about honor or tradition, if some other vampire tries to square up with me i’m not fucking around with claws, magic, or teeth, i am shooting you in the head repeatedly.
He left his village a long time ago.
He did it for simple reasons. He wished to serve his Lords. He wished to keep his village safe from all manner of threats that lurk in this world. He wished for a full stomach and a fuller purse.
They accepted him into their service, and decided to have him as a Man-At-Arms.
He thanked them for their understanding and care, when they have no such things.
They took his legs, and replaced them with segmented metal things, which would allow him to run and jump further and faster. They took his eyes, which insisted on blinking and flinching, and made it so that he would miss no shots through fault of his own. They took his arms, and gave him new ones, covered in blades and places to mount weapons and ammunition.
They sent him out among countless others.
…
It is much, much later.
He marches alongside his comrades. He marches alongside towering Implements, which fill him with a sense of dread and unease, despite the fact that they are on the same side. He marches towards his enemy.
Corrosion awaits.
The ground is stained a dirty orange. Leaves drop from the trees and hit the ground in a cacophony of falling rust. He sees things that were once people, now twisted into metal shapes. It smells of rot.
Alongside his comrades, he readies his weapons.
They burn it all down.
…
It is a bit later.
The area has been cleaned and secured. They continue marching.
The place into which they march is Corrosion no longer. This is the domain of Decay.
Half-dead and never-living things surround them and charge forwards.
Gunfire rakes through the air. Gouts of flame burst forth from some of the Implements. Others open fire with immense cannon. Some sweep through the enemy with oversized blades and crushing instruments. He joins his comrades. He fires upon the enemy.
The march continues.
Comrade and foe alike fall.
Implements stagger and are dragged down by the sheer weight of the enemy.
His ammunition runs dry. His comrades suffer the same fate.
The march continues.
Now they fight with blades alone. The march has slowed. Death is omnipresent, watching over both sides and exacting a heavy toll.
His comrades drop, one by one.
The march continues.
He marches alone.
The march continues.
He marches right out of the other end of the Decay.
…
‘... and for your services to The Court, you are to be rewarded with a place among our number, safe from the Corrosion and Decay that spoiled so many of your fine compatriots.’
He is knighted.
They take his lungs. They take his spine. They take his brain. They take his mind.
He thinks of his village, and how long it has been.
He does not understand.
But, he supposes, he does not have to. He is one of The Court now, and the actions of mere humans are far below him. He does not care any more.
His new brain and heart tick away steadily, and he rises.
She/her, LARP doer, Warhammer and Gundam fan, that one reveal with Zane from Ninjago changed the trajectory of my life,Certified Scribblehub Eggfic Protagonist.
