not entirely sure that I remember how and when we started calling it windexing; I'm not /entirely/ sure either, but it might have been Sabby's term.
Still, making Percy White Bishop was probably the wisest thing Emma could have done, and while it didn't work out in the way Emma expected, it has also been a fantastic path of development for both her and Percy. *sniff* Percy still makes me sad. :p
For Rossi, what starts here was rape; everything that followed was just a different flavor of the same violation. Sigh. It really was. Emma-player was a little twitchy about the term, but she won't deny it's appropriateness.
First they strip Rossi of physical control, then they strip him of emotional, leaving him only intellect and the conviction that mental will likely follow in short order. I didn't realize that at the time, but man. It /was/ evil of them. Bad Emma and Percy. Shame!
Why and wherefore her emotional state, and the malice that occurs throughout this part of the log? You hit the nail on the head later on in the log

Kissing. Rossi's skin crawls. Mockery and sadistic possessive pleasure. It's all business, but this was one of the few scenes I got to let Emma's /villian/ side show through. Everyone talks about the male characters' misogyny. Well, here's the flip side. Emma's quite steeped in misandry. Men are manipulative, betraying bastards. She was already on her way when she ran into Shaw, though I think it would have just settled into her being a manipulative gold-digger if she hadn't. None of this active contempt and... well, sadism. Shaw cemented that belief that you can't trust a man, with refresher courses by Scott and Warren, and now, Percy. Though, to be fair, she doesn't think women are any more trustworthy. But there's not the danger of the level of vulnerability she'll display with men. She's pretty straight, sexually and emotionally. ;)
The entire log was worth it, just for that one terrible, brilliant act.*beams* Sadism. Strike at his already established weakness and make his body betray his mind by /wanting/ what she's
( ... )
I laughed at Emma's part about appreciating New York's Finest. I did too! Hee. It was a title that had been tossed around quite a bit during that time period, and I couldn't help it. But it was also a way to show that this /isn't/ about a sexual attack. At least not of his body. She's business-like and effecient, and she's here to do a job.
Well, of course it would be a temple. Cathedral, even. Rossi's priestly past built this edifice: the first two decades of his life, plus change, went into its shaping. It's Of course. It made perfect sense. Playing in the mind /is/ difficult, but I was so glad to have something /I/ was a little familiar with to play with. The Church, in all it's mysticsim and traditions, is such a /rich/ construct to build on. I know I got really purple in those next few poses, but I had fun comparing the etherealness of Rossi's soul with the etherealness of the Church's rites and sacrements.
He'll wake up in the morning with the memory of great sex, the greatest he's ever had, according to Emma's

Mmm, Rin, you do such /delicious/ commentary. Seriously, man.
I think that windexing /was/ yours. I remember it being a you thing. It sounds like a you thing.
He also, and I just realized this, stops thinking about Sabby much. There's an unease there and a wariness that he can't quite come to grips with, completely separate of the trimming Emma did of her status as a mutant.
Hey! Whoa! I was /just wondering/ if that had happened at all when I was writing my commentary the other day (I think it was the realization that Chris has been absent from her recent stress, both in physical and emotional presence, and that neither of them at reached to close that gap at all, that made me wonder).
This is absolutely gorgeous. I love the detail behind the detail you always do in these, annnnd I like seeing you lay out the repercussions of this scene. Poor Chris.
