the night watch

i love the rembrandt but this probably isn’t about the painting.

there’re two shifts, day and night. one of us takes care of the day, and one during the night. there is a change-over but we never see each other. we never really fall out but when tensions are running high might leave some sort of passive aggressive clues for the other to find when it’s his turn

we have a covenant- the two of us. see no, hear no, speak no. doesn’t matter if we fuck each other about, but any real consequences outside that scope will hit both of us so there’s no point in happening that. don’t lose it when we flap up some dust with one another don’t need any more input from the concerned

i can’t go into great detail on this one, but the basics of it are: during the day just on damage control – what the fuck has he done this time? maybe he’s ruined everything, maybe i’m overthinking. during the night a complete lack of presence of mind, we may see or pick new tricks up during the day but the actual learning takes place during the night while you sleep

the only fun part is when we swap round again and i get to sit and watch during the day- explaining this entire world to people who will never even want to understand in their lives, because it only exists at night. because they only wanna know so they can take the piss for a few seconds before they despawn until next time

yeah? whatever next. we would probably adapt well to change but there’s not really a connection … because we never see each other
