I think the punishment would suit the wrongdoing.

If I caught you fucking someone, I might make you write lines. "I must not be a dirty whore", maybe 50 times. Make it stick.
If I caught you sending dirty texts to someone, I might make you read them out to me. Maybe I'd act them out with Greer, while you watched.
If I found you wearing something inappropriate, maybe I'd make you take it off, wherever we were.

It would look like whatever I wanted it to look like. Whatever teaches you best, and whatever pleases me.

There was a lot of interest in my tutoring and seminar post, when I first got here. So I think I’m going to set up some kind of lecture hall in the new year.

It definitely wouldn’t be appropriate to fool around there. And it would be pretty embarrassing to write “I must not be a dirty whore” where there should be— chemistry equations or literary quotes or something.

[ A pause, after she types that, diverging from the school fantasy where it snags on something real. Because it always does, with Ash, and that’s what makes Gwen squirm. ]

I do feel like one, sometimes.

[ Maybe whore isn’t the word she’d use. But— ]

A slut. After everything I’ve done since coming here. I always thought I’d save myself for a nice boyfriend, and that would be that.
