Blood and Mind (for likes_exploring)

The dressing room of a closed theater sounds like the unlikeliest meeting place, and yet here Fuu is, apparently in meditation, waiting for Faye. The six thermos, all filled, stand next to an Egyptian dress.

After not much time at all, Faye PINs into place, not far from Fuu.
"Hi..."

[shiningwind]

Fuu smiles at Faye in greeting. "Hello, Faye-san. The first batch is over there," she signals to where the thermos are, "you may drink a bit before we begin, if you wish."

Faye smiles in return. "Thanks, and don't worry, I'll be neat this time." She grins, and soon drains one thermos, being careful this time.

Once Faye's finished drinking, Fuu starts speaking again: "Let's begin with something simple, shall we? Try to issue commands to me, and if I resist them fully, I'll say 'no'."

With that said, Fuu looks directly at Faye, waiting for her to start.

"Okay." Faye then looks back, and begins giving her a mesmerising stare. "Come here."

[shiningwind]

Fuu's pupils begin to dilate, and her legs seem to begin movement for a moment, but that passes quickly as she returns to normal. "No."

Now, Faye seems pleased, and naturally stops using her powers. "Hey, looks like that worked!"

[shiningwind]

Fuu's a bit pleased as well, though she was expecting to resist a direct command. "Indeed. Shall we try again before proceeding to the next stage?"

[likes_exploring]

"Alright, here we go..." She nods, then tries again. "Come closer."

[shiningwind]

Again, Fuu's pupils begin to dilate, and her legs seem to begin movement for a moment, but that passes as quickly as the last time. "No."

[likes_exploring]

"Well," she says, smiling and ending her influence, "You did it again."

[shiningwind]

"Indeed," Fuu smiles back, "Would you like to continue to the next stage now, or later?"

[likes_exploring]

"Well, I don't mind helping some more..."

[shiningwind]

"Thank you, Faye-san. For the next exercise, don't issue any command other than continued eye contact. Once it seems I'm in your thrall, you may issue whichever command you wish. I'll let you know when I've broken free."

Fuu closes her eyes for a moment, bracing herself, before opening them again and looking at Faye again.

[likes_exploring]

"Okay..." Well, Faye makes and keeps eye contact until she's sure Fuu's in her power, then gives her the suggestion to come to her...

[shiningwind]

Fuu's pupils dilate, and her mind is peaceful and dormant. A suggestion, "APPROACH FAYE" reverberates through her mind, and though a small part of her wonders who said that, the rest of her is compelled to obey.

And so, Fuu walks in Faye's direction until she's at arm's reach.
