Hey, this is Madison, Gaspar’s buddy from the US embassy. I don’t really do social media except for psyops, but I thought I should give Gaspar’s followers an update on his situation. (When he’s feeling better, I’ll have to talk to him about infosec, his BlackBerry was super easy to crack!)
Gaspar came over yesterday and was all like, “I’ve been ever so bad. I quoted something from a problematic source that gives a platform to TERFs. Could you help me do penance for my crime? I heard you’ve been wanting to practise your waterboarding techniques.”
I was like, “Honey, this isn’t like you, you don’t even apologise for killing people.”
and he was like, “No, this is much worse!”
So I was like, “okay”, we had a little chat about safewords and stuff, and I set up the board, strapped him down, put a bag over his head, tilted him back and started pouring. He was totally fine at the time; he was thrashing around a bit and making a weird gurgling noise, but he didn’t say the safeword (”Baudrillard”). Or at least I don’t think he did, his mouth was full of wet cloth so IDK. He was really getting into the part, he did a super great job of acting like he was being tortured, so I got a lot of practice in!
After about a minute thirty he went quiet, so I took the bag off him and he was freaking out. I don’t get it, it was a totally fake scene, what’s his problem? I made it clear to him beforehand it was SIMULATED drowning, he wasn’t really going to die. It’s just a fantasy! I guess English guys are more prudish about that kind of thing?
Anyway, he’s had a lot of aftercare. I gave him a hug (he was clinging to my arm so I kinda had to), dried him off and called him a cab, so he should be fine. But I’ll tell you guys the same thing I told Dmitry and Big Dave: it was quite an intense scene, so he might take a couple of days to be back to his old self again. It’s totally normal, so don’t worry about it. He should be back on Tumblr soon!
