Chapter 16 | The First Taste

[dog_lover]

[ She looks directly at the camera, smiling faintly even if it doesn't reach her eyes. Those eyes are... something else, bright gold, with red circles within that almost seem like they swirl as you look at them, drawing you in. ]

Hello. My name is Makima.

I'm here to help.

Anyone who has issues in controlling themselves. Or controlling their temper. Controlling their sadness. Anyone who's afraid of being overwhelmed or hurt, who doesn't know what to do. Anyone who just wants someone to make things simple and peaceful and easy...

We should talk.

[ Makima can be found in all sorts of places. After all, she doesn't need to be in the treehouse to look down at everyone, to watch over everyone. She sometimes is, because it's a nice view, but just as often, she's in the main common room, smiling sweetly and looking out for any trouble. She wanders into the sick ward just as often to see if there's anyone who might want to make a deal with her there, but she doesn't linger.

When she's not 'working', she'll be found in her room, staring (seemingly) at nothing at all. She's still smiling then, always smiling, but there's something missing in her eyes. That's why she makes sure she's behind a door before she does it.

So she doesn't bring down the mood. ]

[ ooc: Makima is the devil of control and can do all sorts of things with people's minds and memories. She'd be more than happy to erase all your sadness so you can be happy enough to leave. How's that for a way out? ]

People put in charge here. People who are creepy and who put on fake, creepy smiles.

[dog_lover]

I don't have a creepy smile. Or a fake one.

But do you really think I'd do all of this if I wanted to just force you or control you?

That doesn't even make sense.

[dragonwithagirltattoo]

You know what also doesn't make sense? Your outfit. Men in Black called, they want their suits back. You creep.

[dog_lover]

...you're upset by a pants suit?

[dragonwithagirltattoo]

I'm calling it ugly, and your fashion sense is whack.

[dog_lover]

This isn't my fashion sense. This is what you wear as a government official. And now, as an official here.

What does that have to do with anything?

[dragonwithagirltattoo]

You're a control freak and you're going on my list.

[dog_lover]

Okay.

Have fun with that.

[dragonwithagirltattoo]

Oh I WILL have fun with that!

[dog_lover]

Will you?

You sound boring.

[dragonwithagirltattoo]

Ohohoho. Do I? You're the one in the suit, lady.

[dog_lover]

And you're the one so desperate to seem interesting.

Was there anything else?

[dragonwithagirltattoo]

Wow. That would hurt, if I gave a rat's behind what some random ASS-istant thought of me.

Just that.

[dog_lover]

Good.

Have a nice day. I've got work to do.
