His heavy hand pressed against my back until I was bent over the table.
Strade: Do you know know what this is?
MC: It's...a tablesaw.
Strade: Correct! :D
Strade: Well...It's a machine.
I felt a finger touch the back of my head.
Strade: I really love machines. Did I ever tell you that? >:)
The finger started drawing circles absent mindedly on the back of my skull.
MC: No, you didn't actually, you should tell me a lot more about it instead of-
He chuckled but his fingers also clasped the back of my neck.
Strade: I like to pull them apart and figure them out. But there's more to it than that...
His wistful tones felt so out of place, pushed against a motionless saw.
Strade: Machines are all made by people. For a purpose, a...ah...Intention!
He began to stroke my head like some kind of pet.
Strade: Mmm, I love to look for that intention. The reason people make what they make. Why they do what they do.
I didn't really know what he was trying to say, but I wasn't too eager for him to stop talking.
Strade: What do you feel when you look at that blade?
"Scared!"
He laughed.
Strade: Well, that's (totally) normal I guess! :D Not very good though, right? >:) Even if I wasn't about to turn it on and push you into it.
I stiffed, and a cold bead of sweat rolled down my back.
Strade: People think machines are ugly. More than ugly...Hmmm...Repulsive. People make the machines, but they don't want to look at them. I find that very interesting. But it does make some sense, doesn't it? >:) Intentions can be very ugly.
A click, a high pitched mechanical scream, and the saw came to life right in front of my face...
Strade saw you watching Texas Chainsaw Massacre with Ren and thought you were enjoying it a liiiittle too much and he got jealous 😢 if you liked chainsaws so much, you should’ve told him! He’d do anything for his liebling 🥰
i am so fucking not okay again what the fuck. Everytime i pull myself out i fall right back in. Nothing i do is enough and the one time i put myself and health first i get fucking dragged through the mud and called selfish. Cool. Ok. Great.
