Augusnippets Day 1: Brainwashing
CW: 2nd pov from whumper's perspective, brainwashing (obvi), general Gothic whump
In the shadowy dining room, whumpee sits alone, candlelight flickering across his expressionless face. His folded hands lie motionless in his lap. His eyes stare at nothing, two blank windows that open into emptiness.
Perfection. Just what you always wanted. A beautiful, flawless doll of your own.
“My dear whumpee,” you murmur, “I see all our hard work has paid off. You look exquisite.” Gently, you brush the back of your hand against his collar and down his silk vest. Its embroidery glimmers like stars.
Whumpee remains statue-still at your touch. Just what you always wanted.
“Not a single thought in your head,” you muse aloud, walking around whumpee to examine him from all angles. “Of course I can always change that if I want. But for now, this emptiness is—”
With an echoing crash, the door to the dining room slams open. Caretaker. The ferocious glint in his eyes delights you. Such a contrast to the magnificent blankness sitting before you.
“You’re too late, as usual.” You stride forward, shielding your precious whumpee from view. “I’ve already completed the process. And only I can reverse it. If I choose.”
“Then do it,” caretaker growls, drawing his weapon, “or I’ll make you beg for death.”
How silly. Threats mean nothing to you now, in the wake of your triumph. You step aside, revealing whumpee’s seated form, frozen and lifeless as if made of porcelain. Caretaker gasps and rushes forward.
“And why would I undo this,” you ask, gesturing at whumpee, “when at last I’ve created the perfect living doll?”
