how?
why?
what?
01 induction. a comfortable place, a confident touch, and all the right words to take you under. deep breath in, deep breath out, just lie back for the plain flavor, no gimmicks or special powers involved.
02 the prop box. that's not enough? then how about a spinning spiral, or a swinging pocket watch, a coin or a candle, a flickering candle, that's right, just look at the flame, watch the flame closely, watch it dance in front of your eyes and relax, just relax...
03 simply powerful. deep and hypnotic eyes, a strong and commanding voice, their comforting and soothing touch; that person has more than talent - they have the power to bring you completely under their control, and there is no way to resist... at least not forever.
04 magic! a spell to control your body, a potion to command your mind, an artifact to destroy your will. you might have been enchanted, or even cursed. maybe it was an accident, a lesson gone wrong. whatever it was, it's time for a magical trance!
05 science! death rays are so last season, hypno rays are all the rage these days! and did you hear about that new drug that makes you 89% more suggestible to everything you're told? apparently they can even insert a chip into your brain and-- you know, why don't you see the miracle of science for yourself?
06 other. combine, change, roll again, or try something else entirely.
why?
01 therapy something you want to remember? something you'd like to forget? quit smoking, eat healthier, be the best you you can be. whatever your reason, whatever your method, your subconsciousness needs a spring cleaning to improve your life.
02 in good fun you're really looking forward to this! it's a show, it's a party, or maybe it's just the two of you trying something new. entertaining, relaxing, maybe even hot and steamy. kick back, and enjoy the experience.
03 part of the job the latest corporate drug, another monster preying on people's minds, the third alien artifact you dug up this week. you've run into this before, and you will run into it again. but maybe this time is different. maybe this time something went wrong...
04 part of a scheme you don't want this, but somebody else begs to differ. maybe it's as harmless as a prank to make you cluck like a chicken whenever they say your name. or maybe it's as bad as a plot to make you their obedient servant forever. only they know, but for better or worse, you're about to find out.
05 an accident a vacant stare into that magical mirror, blank faces after a gas leak, sparks flying in the wrong direction and suddenly you find yourself chanting 'yes, master' over and over again? looks like somebody was too careless. sure, nobody meant for this to happen, but it did, and now you have to deal with the side-effects.
06 other. combine, change, roll again, or try something else entirely.
what?
01 relaxation. all you want is to unwind, switch off, forget about your stress and worries for a while. close your eyes, you'll wake up feeling so refreshed. that is, unless somebody goes a little overboard with that happy and vacant smile...
02 transformation. bark like a dog. moo like a cow. put on this apron, you are the maid now. you're a robot, you're just a doll, you are the president of the world, an adorable baby, the perfect boyfriend- you are something or somebody you weren't before.
03 personality change. people don't change? we'll see about that! there must be some way to make you more assertive, less anxious, more honest, less unruly. maybe something could even change your evil ways! or your good ones, for that matter...
04 submission. this one is all about following commands. any commands. any commands. but do they just want to see you dance to their tune once, or will they wash, scrub and bleach your brain until it comes out blank and obedient forever?
05 seduction. maybe it's something sneaky to charm somebody you just met, maybe it's something sexy to spice up your relationship. whatever it is, whatever you do, it's trance time in the bedroom. and it would feel so amazing to take off your clothes for me, wouldn't it?
06 other. combine, change, roll again, or try something else entirely.

[ It's a pretty picture Ash paints with that expression, of a man making war on himself, self-defeating on the brink of being self-defeated. Fighting Minoru's influence may well be the worst defense he could've chosen, convenient it's the one his targets by and large opt for, not understanding how bad of an idea is getting stressed against a voice that asks they relax.
With the threat of that knife at last set to rest, Minoru feels at ease moving that watch closer to Ash, until it hangs hypnotically before the other man's gaze, forces his eyes to follow the way it swings left to right. Even if they were to stop here, Ash is already at the point of passing out on his own. Minoru merely needs to give him a friendly push into suggestibility.
If a part of Ash, growing by the second, so desperately wants to fall under this spell, then all that's left is to put it in charge. ]
When you're ready, I want you to count for me, back down from ten. With each number, I want you to feel yourself getting sleepier, happier, more relaxed than you've ever been. With each number, you know more and more that you want to listen to me. That when you hit zero, you'll be able to fall into a warm, comfortable sleep, ready for me to help you.
no subject
It takes him several seconds to realize that the words didn't leave his lips. What's going on? Ash knows something is happening, but his mind feels too disconnected to his body and even from itself.
Leave. He needs to leave. His legs don't move. ]
Ten.
[ What the hell? That was his voice, his lips moving. Jade green eyes widen in shock as his lips continue to move. ]
Nine. Eight. Seven.
[ It feels like someone else is inside, pulling strings. Even now, he sits, not too gone to realize he doesn't want fall onto the floor when he hits zero.
Maybe it won't be so bad. When had he last rested? Really rested without nightmares or phantoms? He'd even be happier. Would that be so bad?
Yes! Yes, it would! Those aren't his thoughts. How many times had he fought the idea that he just needed to stop being human and be what someone else thought instead? Because isn't it easier to just be a thing? No pain, no disappointment. Riches and comforts await him if only he agrees.
Screw that. ]
Two. One. Zero.
[ Fighting his own thoughts, Ash misses the fact he was still counting. Despite his best efforts, when the word falls from his lips, his eyes close and within seconds, he's asleep. ]
no subject
Though the fact is that what Ash deserves for proving himself such a dangerous subject is to have that resistance of his pounded into the dirt, preferably before he's a chance to display it again.
And that's what trances are for. No matter how hard the struggle, even a genius like Ash cannot resist his control when he's unable to think, to feel without his master's permission.
The watch has returned to Minoru's pocket. His voice still carries that hypnotic tone. ]
Yes, just like that. You are fast asleep now, Mr. Lynx. Ash. Completely, and totally at peace. You feel... quite happy.
[ And so he does, because Minoru's word is so much stronger than law for someone without the means to deny him. Ash is told he is happy, ergo he is happy. ]
You are happy. You are comfortable. You are... obedient. Say it for me.
no subject
He can't remember. Even now, something that refuses to sleep completely warns him that this won't lead to happiness. This will read to something worse than Ash had been able to imagine. He'd fought so hard for so long to be his own permission. In this small window, he was regressing at an alarming rate.
Don't give in. The voice, quiet and distant, doesn't realize that it's not a fight. Ash isn't given the will to fight. ]
I'm happy. Comfortable. I am obedient.
[ No. No. I fought too hard against that!
This person isn't a normal person. Ash let his guard down and now, he's going to pay for it. No one who has ever had any kind of control in his life has never considered his best interest. Why would this man be any different?
Where's Shorter? ]
no subject
That's right, you know it's true. Hearing it in your own voice only reinforces how happy you feel, how comfortable, how completely obedient you are... Feel that spread through you, all the way, right down to the parts of you that don't want to be sleeping.
[ Minoru will do Ash the favour of assuming he's hardly so weak-willed as to have no fight left in him at all, not that it's worth much. The part that's obedient and happier for it has command of Ash's body, more or less all his mind, easy to puppet him to countless designs.
It would take a snap of the fingers to have Minoru freed of his restraints, banished from Ash's memories, and guaranteed never to be bothered by him again. Having a person do or forget things is easy. Convincing them to think or believe things, as his client has paid through the nose for, requires a more hard-handed touch. Hence the part of Ash that's already hypnotized is now helping deal with what's left.
Even while already under, getting worked up is a fast way to wear out one's resistance. Just to be safe, it's best Minoru ensure his hold on this man is in a word absolute. ]
Ah, yes. You wanted to know about Shorter, yes? While you enjoy your rest, let me tell you about him. As I said before, we had a good, long talk about his future; his career options, to be more precise.
[ Of course, neither Ash nor Shorter were capable of actually doing anything from their trances. Will ceases to be relevant once Minoru at last has a person under his spell; even gods are his playthings once under his power. There's no threat OF anything going awry. ]
You may have not have been paying attention, but by coincidence, the circus was in town that week. Shorter didn't understand at first, but soon he realised just how much he agreed with me that, yes, he did want to work there. For the rest of his life, even. He left town as a clown, or something, and I imagine he's having a wonderful time. I wouldn't be surprised if he'd already forgotten all about life before it. How does that make you feel, Ash? How does that make all of you feel?
no subject
Or, it would be, if he could assume anything. The longer Ash is under, the quieter the voice inside his head grows. Instead, it's replaced by one not his own, one telling him how safe and comfortable and happy he is. If an outside voice had said it, it would have been enough to earn a good laugh. But isn't he? Safe and comfortable and happy? ]
Sad.
[ Without direction to feel something different, Ash gives an honest answer because while he's prone to lying to himself, he can't lie to that voice. ]
I like Shorter.
[ So, the prospect of losing him forever is a painful one. Ash can call very few people friends. Now, one of his is off... at the circus? Shorter could be a clown, but it was never anything meant literally. Hm. ]
New job?
[ The entire thought is too much to form. It probably seems like he's asking if it's Shorter's new job, but something inside of Ash knows that he's about to be told of his new job, too. The tone, at least, is without judgment or argument. Maybe he even looks forward to a change in profession.
He doesn't. There's a complete lack of opinion while under the effect of the hypnosis. ]
