Nomura Kohana: Nomura nodded as she looked over Tenko, smiling and taking a seat at a chair nearby. "I know it probably sounds pretty simple, but trust me, it gets pretty crazy." She cleared her throat before she began to speak, making sure to bring out her soothing, compelling tone. She started off speaking slowly, and with an obvious pattern. "Open... close... open... close... open... close..." Simple enough. She did this for about thirty seconds, making sure Tenko had settled into a rhythm - and maybe just enjoying the sight of her eyelids opening and fluttering closed. She was pretty cute, honestly. When it was clear Tenko had begun to follow, she began throwing in some mix-ups, speaking a little faster now to start to give Tenko some trouble keeping up. "Open. Close. Close. Open. Close. Open. Open. Open. Close. Close. Close. Close. Open. Close. Open. Open. Close. Open. Close. Close. Close." She continued like this, gradually speeding up and throwing more mix-ups in to make Tenko all confused - and as she continued, she would start to say "close" considerably more often than "open". She didn't expect Tenko to lose control QUITE yet, but the first step was getting her brain all scrambled - and increasingly focused on what Nomura was saying in an effort to keep up.
Kaede Akamatsu: Tenko smiled softly, the idea of doing something so... Simple sounded quite fun, especially if it was with a girl who was as cute as Nomura. As the other girl began to speak, she followed along well enough. Her eyes opening whenever she said open, and closing when she said close. Open. Close. Open Close. she followed this pattern perfectly, given how simple it was of course. Though, the moment the other girl began to mix up, Tenko struggled slightly to follow along, her eyes instinctively opening after hearing close, and vice versa, then trying her best to cover up her mistakes, eventually, she caught up with the pace. Open. Open. Close. Open. Close. Close. Close. The dark-haired girl was keeping up now, and rather well too. The longer the game went on, the less she could remember why they even started it in the first place, but she was having fun nonetheless, and decided not to question it.
Nomura Kohana: Nomura giggled as she saw Tenko was focused. Now time to get fast enough that it'd be impossible to keep up. She continued her rhythm - and it was getting really fast now. "Open, close, close, open, close, close, close, open, close, open, open, close, close, close, close, open, close, open, close, close..." She continued like this, and was getting just about impossible to keep up with. She made sure not to speak too quickly - enough that Tenko could UNDERSTAND her. If she spoke too fast, that would kind of ruin the effect. As she continued, she carefully watched Tenko's face, looking to see if there were any noticeable changes. She was curious how Tenko looked when she was dazed, honestly... well, she was about to find out. She figured she would know when Tenko's mind had just shut down. It wouldn't quite be a trance, but it would put Tenko in a state so far gone that putting her in a trance would basically be near effortless. And that was just as she liked it.
Kaede Akamatsu: Tenko did her best to follow along as Nomura sped up. She managed for some time, despite how she was mixing up the words now. Though, Tenko reached her breaking point as the other girl began to speed up even more. The words were still as clear as day, but following along with them was much harder now, but she kept desperately trying to keep up. Whenever she got one right, it was by luck, and nothing more. Open. Close? Open? Open? Tenko couldn't tell anymore, overworking herself simply from opening and closing her eyes. The girl began to feel burnt out, the words were making her dizzy now as she continued the game, even though it was effortless now, already feeling like she had lost. Her eyelids lowered slightly as they opened. Her eyes were barely making the effort to fully open or close now, too confused to follow along. Eventually, Tenko hit a breaking point. Her thoughts filled up with silence, everything around her drowning out as she felt herself become less and less aware, her mouth subtly opening as her eyes stopped alternating between open and closed so quickly.
Nomura Kohana: Aaaand there she was. Perfect. Nomura came to a stop in her rapid speech, making her way over to the poor girl. She was down. And now it was time to actually bring her into a trance. "That's right, Tenko. Your mind is completely empty now," she purred, making her way over to Tenko. "And now I'm going to hypnotize you, okay? You don't want to fight. And even if you could, you can't, cause your mind is just so tired. You can feel how tired and exhausted your mind is, all light and floaty. And that's okay. Cause you want to drift. You can feel yourself floating away, Tenko. Everything's just fading as you let your grip on reality drift, and drift, and drift. You can feel your body becoming so light and floaty, and it feels so good. So good to just float away into the trance I'm taking you into. You can feel your tired mind just melting, melting so easily, so comfortably, melting into nothing as you let your light, floaty body just drift away further and further... just softly floating, not a care or a thought in your melted mind..."
Kaede Akamatsu: The silence only became more prominent as Nomura stopped giving her open and close commands. Then, came the soft, silky words flowing into her head. The acrobat's soft and gentle voice was all she could make out now. The dark-haired girl was too exhausted to even talk now, all she could do was listen, and become weaker, and less aware. Everything in the room felt like it was getting further away from her. She felt like she could only move how Nomura wanted her too, her body as light as a feather, and the other girl's voice was the wind, carrying her however she saw fit. Her dazed expression left a somewhat silly and cute expression on her face, not able to move, respond, or think, only feel what the other girl suggested she felt. The ceiling felt like it was getting further as she became more dazed, but closer as she floated up, saliva welling up against her tongue as she remained motionless.
Nomura Kohana: Nomura grinned as she looked over Tenko, who was so far gone in a trance that if Nomura left her she doubted she'd be able to come back. This was too good. "That's right, Tenko. You've completely floated away now. You've just floated into the trance space. Where all that exists is the sound of my voice. And you can feel your eyelids beginning to get so very heavy now. Feel them getting heavier and heavier as you float. So, so heavy. So hard to keep them open. So hard to keep them open. Feeling them beginning to close now, sliding down further and further, heavier and heavier. Not resisting, not fighting, just letting them close... now." She snapped her fingers. "You're completely gone now, Tenko, floating in a trance. So wonderful, so entranced." She hummed for a moment, considering. There were some other girls she wanted to visit... but she figured she would want to have some fun with Tenko first. "Now, Tenko... I want you to focus on how your body feels as it floating. And as you continue to float, you might notice it feels good... really good. It makes you feel very happy to float in a trance, your body just feels so light, and it feels wonderful. So blissful and blank. Not anchored to anything. Just so wonderful... you wouldn't wanna feel anything else. Isn't that right, Tenko?"
Kaede Akamatsu: Tenko felt as if there was nothing around her anymore, just her body, floating in a dark space, and the sound of Nomura's voice echoing around her. She couldn't even feel the comfort of the bed that was beneath her now. She felt like she was aimlessly wandering, her lips quivered for a moment, but she didn't have anything to say. It felt as if she didn't even want to speak unless asked anything from Nomura, and only her. Everything around her felt as if it was gone now, she felt as if she was truly floating. The feeling of her body aimlessly wandering felt like bliss. "I don't want to feel anything else..." The Aikido Master softly repeated back to the acrobat, her gentle voice insisting that she meant it too. It felt... Better than good to her, it felt amazing. The feeling of having no control over her body, what direction it went in, what it did. All of those functions belonged to Nomura now.

Ms. Holmes was surprised to see Terra, out of all her students, and this showed in the way her fair eyebrows raised up. Terra was a sweet girl, and a very good student, one of those that made teachers feel they had chosen the right profession. So it was no wonder that Ms. Rosie Holmes' frown eased out as soon as she stepped in, changing for a warm smile on her rosy lips instead. "Terra, hi. What can I do for you?" She asked, putting down her green pen and folding her arms on the desk. Upon her declaration, Rosie just felt her heart warm up, a not so common feeling of pride and appreciation washing over her. "Oh, Terra, dear, it wasn't necessary," she said sweetly, focusing her green eyes on the pocket watch. The gold exterior in it sparkled with the few rays of sunlight that got inside the room, through the window -- it looked almost magical. "it is very pretty, yes," she said, and found she had to make an effort to look back at the girl (she thought she had seen something in the watch, and didn't want to miss it again) "you shouldn't have, really. Although it is.. gorgeous," she admitted, putting a strand of blond wavy hair behind her ear, as she gave another quick glance at the pocket watch. It really was a lovely little thing
Terra Quincy: "Trust me, Ms. Holmes, it's fine." Terra let out a light chuckle as she continued to let the watch slowly swing from side to side, watching the teacher's eyes track it every now and then. She began to speak in a softer, more soothing tone of voice to help lull her a bit. "It is very pretty, isn't it?" she mused idly, tilting her head a bit as she let the watch sway, starting to speak in a rhythm with it. "Honestly, if you want, you can just stare at it. It's pretty enough that I think you can just do that. Just watch it sway back and forth... Back and forth... Letting your eyes follow that smooth rhythm back and forth... So easy and comfortable to just follow the watch back and forth... Gold and sparkling, so easy to track that slow, repetitive movement with your eyes. Back and forth... Back and forth... It's almost like it's rooting deeply into your mind. Back and forth... You might find yourself just starting to say those three words as they get stronger and stronger in your head. Back and forth..."
Rosie: The continue gold sparkle just kept catching Rosie's attention and, before she could notice, her green eyes were set on the object already once more. "It is very pretty, yes. Where did you get it?" She asked, but it was hard to tell if she expected an answer, seeing as she was having a hard time taking her eyes off the watch. It was just sort of... Mesmerising. The way it just swayed so smoothly, so swiftly. There was something fascinating in it. And it was such a regular thing, too, just seeing it swing back and forth... She could hear Terra's sweet voice telling her to do just that, to keep watching. Her voice had a soft rhyrhm in it, and the teacher felt herself sighing deeply, her shoulders dropping ever so slightly. It had been a long week. And now, just watching the pocket watch go back and forth... It seemed like such a nice break. Back and forth. Back and forth. It was almost like her body could move, too, rocking her back and forth. It felt so nice. Terra was right. Rosie parted her lips almost without noticing a faint whisper of "back... And forth..." Leaving her lips.
Terra Quincy: Terra nodded approvingly as she saw Rosie visibly relaxing. This was working very well. Terra had always had a rather manipulative side to her, and while she was usually good about it, she wasn't entirely above messing with people for fun. "That's right, Rosie," she coaxed, deciding to use a first name basis by this point to help make her words just that little bit stronger in her poor teacher's declining mind. "And as you continue to follow the beautiful pocket watch back... and forth... You can feel yourself beginning to relax very deeply. You can feel your breathing, nice and slow. Taking a deep breath in, feeling yourself inhaling the calm... And exhaling, feelijg all the resistance and tension leaving. And as you relax it makes it so much easier for those three words to flow in your head. Back and forth... Back and forth. If you try to say something it just comes out as back and forth. Back and forth. But that's okay. It shows that you're going under. And you want to go under very much. You can feel your entire body relaxing... Feel your legs, from your thighs to your calves, deeply relaxed... And then your hips and stomach, so nice and loose. Your arms, feeling nice and relaxed and limp. And you can feel your neck relaxing, too heavy to keep your head in place, letting the watch guide it. And feel your jaw relaxing too, letting it slowly drop as you drift deeper and deeper into ths watch. Back and forth..."
Rosie: She didn't really notice how weird it was for a student to call her Rosie -- her focus was completely on the watch, on how it swung back and forth, so swiftly, so smoothly. Still, it was like she could somehow heard Terra's words, which sounded as smooth as the swinging. She seemed to be... Describing what was happening? Because Rosie did feel more relaxed, her breathing going deeper and more even, making her shoulders drop a bit more, which in turn made the wide collar of her white shirt just slide down on one side. She didn't notice. "Back.. and.. forth" she whispered. Her focus was solely on the watch now, almost as if nothing else mattered. Almost as if Terra wasn't still there. But she was, and her voice was as relaxing as the swinging motion was. "Back.. and forth." What was going under? Her, apparently. But what did that mean? She wasn't sure, and she wanted to ask, but the only thing she managed to whisper was "back and forth," and she just felt dropping deeper. Her whole body was relaxed, calm, almost as if asleep. Her legs (which had been crossed) dropped limp to the floor, her pink shoes making a sound as they fell to the ground. She didn't hear though, she just whispered "back and forth." Her whole body felt limp, heavy against the chair. And then, her neck gave out, and her head started swaying in time with the watch; a heavy sigh escaped her lips at this, as if she had fallen even deeper. Mouth parting open in time with her legs, parted open restricted only by her pink pencil skirt. She couldn't even bring herself to speak now.
Terra Quincy: Terra let out another chuckle. Poor Rosie couldn't muster up any resistance at this point. She continued to let the watch swing, speaking in that rhythm she had grown accustomed to now. "That's right. Your mind is completely empty now. And now you're feeling your body drifting even deeper, Rosie. Becoming very heavy now. Your legs, arms, waist, stomach, neck, and jaw feel so heavy now. Soooo heavy. And now you can feel your eyelids beginning to feel tired and heavy too. Every time they blink you just feel them getting a bit heavier. Feeling yourself getting a bit sleepier. I want you to just give me a yawn, Rosie. A big, sleepy yawn that just drains the energy right out of you. But you don't want to close your eyelids yet. You just want to follow the watch back and forth... Back and forth. So don't close your eyes yet, okay? Just follow the watch for a little bit longer. Even though you feel so sleepy now. You'll just find that the words back and forth disappear from your mind, replaced by that one word. Sleepy. You can feel how talking makes your words so heavy, slow, and slurred... But you can just say that word for me, that slurred word, because it feels soooo good...."
Rosie: Rosie did feel her body sinking deeper into the chair, so limp and heavy she could feel herself even sliding down the leather chair a bit. And then, the sleepiness hit, strongly. Of course. The swaying of her head in time with the watch was just rocking her body to sleep. Rocking it back and forth.. "b-baack.." her jaw dropped a bit more, some drool pooling in it. Her eyelids felt so heavy. Each blink making it harder and harder to open it again. But she wanted to keep staring at the watch, see it move back and forth. She yawned right on cue without noticing, her whole body slumping down further, heavier. She was so sleepy. So, so sleepy, so tired. But the watch... So pretty, so sleepy, so tired... A small droplet of drool fell down her chin as she faintly whispered "sssleeepyyyyy..."
Terra Quincy: Terra nodded approvingly as she saw Rosie about to fall. It was time to reel her in. "Now, then, Rosie. I want you to count down from ten to one. With every mumber, you'll feel yourself dropping ten times as deep into trance. Still unable to close your eyes, but you'll feel all of the effects on your body so intensely. When you reach one, you'll finally sink into a deep, entranced sleep, able to close your eyes... But you'll still see the watch in your mind." She chuckled. "Your numbers will be slurred too, but that's okay. Count down at your own pace. Begin now." With that, she simply waited for her teacher to drop all the way. When her teacher had counted all the way down, Terra slowly stood up, making her way over to her teacher and speaking softly in her ear. "You're now in a deep, hypnotized sleep, Rosie. Tell me how you feel," she whispered, leaning in so she could get all the details. She was going to give Rosie some suggestions soon... She just wanted to make sure Rosie was firmly entranced.
Rosie: Rosie took in a deep breath before starting, her eyelids immediately dropping a bit more, making her vision blurry. "Teeeennnn.." still, she could make out the pocket watch swinging perfectly, still rocking her to sleep. She was so, so sleepy. "Nnn.. niiiiineeeeee." Her body felt warm and heavy, so heavy and limp against the comfortable chair. "Eeeiiiiiggghhttttt" her neck was unable to keep her head in place, making it bob a bit like a doll; it just made her feel relax further. "Ssssssseeeveeenn..." She slid down a bit more off the chair, her blouse and skirt riling up a bit as they got stuck against the leather. She didn't really notice, she just wanted to sleep. So sleepy. "Ssssssiiiixxxx" her body felt loose and heavy. If she could think properly, she would've noticed she wasn't able to move it at will. But she couldn't think, she could just look at the watch. So sleepy. "Threeeeeeeee," she muttered faintly, having completely lost track of the numbers by now. "Twooooo" she was unable to keep her head up any more, and she was making an effort to keep her almost closed eyes on the watch. So sleepy. "Oooneeeeeeee" and as soon as the whisper left her mouth, her eyes finally dropped shut. A smile appeared in her mind as she noticed the pocket watch was still there, though, swinging back and forth. Her body was limp and loose, all spread out on the chair, almost falling from it. She heard Terra's voice in her ear, and though she felt incredibly asleep, she managed to reply. "Relaxed. Asleep. Limp"

Naomi did as she was told, opening and closing her eyes on cue, her blue gaze not once leaving her chosen spot in the ceiling -- it was the good thing about her focus, she could keep up. And she figured she was doing well, to the point it looked quite easy; she didn't even notice how her eyelids had softly developed a pattern on their own, almost barely needing Arima's guidance, or how her breathing had turned a bit deeper. However, when the other girl started speeding up and mixing the orders up, Naomi's previously soft, relaxed expression got just slightly tenser, as she made an actual effort to keep up. She knew she was making some mistakes, having to close quickly, or sometimes not noticing she was supposed to open her eyes. Still, she tried. "'s harder than i thought," Naomi commented in a low voice, still trying not to break her focus. Her eyes were having a bit of a hard time focusing on the spot on the ceiling now, as this got blurrier due to the time her eyes remained closed
Irisa Arima: "It is pretty tricky, huh?" Arima simply grinned as she saw Naomi looked distinctly dazed. Time to keep going. Ideally, the way this should have worked was eventually Naomi's mind would just kinda... short out, leaving her extremely suggestible. And from there, getting her into a trance would be a piece of cake. And given how Naomi already looked like she was having trouble, this would be a piece of cake. "But let's get back to this." She continued her rhythm - and it was getting really fast now. "Open, close, close, open, close, close, close, open, close, open, open, close, close, close, close, open, close, open, close, close..." She continued like this, and was getting just about impossible to keep up with. She made sure not to speak too quickly - enough that Naomi could UNDERSTAND her. If she spoke too fast, that would kind of ruin the effect. As she continued, she carefully watched Naomi's face, looking to see if there were any noticeable changes. She was curious how Naomi looked when she was dazed, honestly... well, she was about to find out. She figured she would know when Naomi's mind had just shut down.
Mel: She simply nodded briefly, trying to listen carefully in order to actually keep up. However, it was really getting more and more difficult by the second. Her eyes were erratically opening and closing, sometimes closing for longer than they should, or staying open for a second too much. However, even while open, she could no longer really see her chosen spot in the ceiling, her mind way too engaged with Arima's soft instructions to really care for anything else. And even despite her intense concentration, it was getting to an impossible point for Naomi to keep up, her brain seemedly at the border of a collapse, her lips parting slightly as her mind disengaged almost completely, leaving her dazed. A couple of seconds later, Naomi's tired brain gave out, leaving her face completely devoid of any distinctive emotion. Instead, her eyes were half opened and her blue gaze completely unfocused, her soft lips parted just slightly. She could no longer keep up, her mind had just shut down.
Irisa Arima: Arima came to an abrupt stop in her directions when she saw Naomi's half-lidded expression, smiling as she looked her over. Perfect. She stood up and slowly made her way over to Naomi was, purring softly as she sat down next to her. "That's right, Naomi. And now I'm going to hypnotize you, okay?" She gently ran her fingers through Naomi's hair, stroking her cheek a bit with a chuckle. "I'm sure you can feel it... how blank and empty you are, how your mind is just gone... how you're just floating, aimlessly floating. It feels so peaceful, so wonderful, doesn't it? It feels nice to be hypnotized. As you feel my touch on your skin you can feel yourself dropping deeper and deeper into this obedient haze. Mindless and obedient and it feels so wonderful. I'm going to make you look a little more like my pet, okay?" She grinned as she leaned over, softly massaging Naomi's jaw to make sure it was nice and loose. She couldn't help it; the girls looked so cute with their mouths hung open and their words slurred. That "trance face", as she called it, was what she lived for. "Perfect. Now, notice how above all else, you feel... peaceful. It feels peaceful to obey. And I know you like peace. You don't like it when people fight. So don't you think that everyone else should experience this too? So there's no fighting, just peace..."
Mel: Naomi couldn't really bring herself to disagree, or say anything at all. Arima was going to hypnotise her, and that was fine, her mind did not want to fight. As her fingers run through her head and cheek, Naomi's eyelids dropped another inch, a shallow sigh escaping through her lips. She did feel very empty, blank, floaty... But it wasn't a bad feeling. She did feel very peaceful, very relaxed. Arima was right, it felt very nice, being hypnotised, and going deeper with every touch. She could feel herself dropping more and more, her eyes growing heavier with every touch, every word. She let Arima massage her jaw, her mouth opening wider and loosely without really too much effort, other than a small whimp of contentment escaping from her open mouth as she felt herself drop even deeper. Now her eyes were barely open, still looking up without really seeing, her mouth open and her expression soft in blissful, obedient trance. She was listening to Arima's voice eagerly, yet completely at peace. Peace. Yes, Arima was right, of course. "Yeeeeeeeeeesssssss... Peeeeeaaaceeeeeee," she slurred, faintly.
Irisa Arima: Arima nodded with a smile. "That's right, Naomi. You're doing very well. You just want to bring peace to the people who need it. And you know that I can tell you exactly who needs it. Feel yourself going deeper and deeper..." She gently placed her fingers on Naomi's eyelids. "Feel your eyelids closing, as you submit to me, your Mistress..." Her voice had dropped to a whisper as she continued to stroke Naomi's hair. "You love me, Naomi... you love me very dearly. You love to obey me, your Mistress... You love to be hypnotized. You also love to hypnotize others... and you love the people who join our group... though not as much as you love me." With a purr, she gently rubbed Naomi's hair a little more before pulling her hand back. "I want you to understand all this, okay? You are deeply relaxed and obedient. I just want you to say that, even though it may be hard. 'I am deeply relaxed and obedient.' Just say that, even if it comes out nice and slurred." She figured by now Naomi would be completely subservient to her. She added some more phrases for Naomi to repeat. "Now say these... You have no resistance. You have no thoughts. You only obey Mistress Arima."
Mel: Naomi could somehow feel herself sinking deeper onto the bed, falling deeper into her peaceful hypnotic trance. She knew Arima was right, in everything she was saying or doing, so when she felt her fingers over her very tired eyelids, it didn't took much for Naomi to close them, sighing deeply, one of her hands falling from her stomach limp onto the bed, just like she fell deeper into trance, under her mistress power and control. She loved her, she loved her mistress so dearly, it was true! And she had her fingers in her pink hair, she was caressing her, too! A small moan escaped Naomi's open mouth. She loved being like this, hypnotised, obeying her mistress... And doing everything she asked, like hypnotising others, sure. She loved everyone, but her mistress more. Her mouth, though still hanging loose, shifted slightly as a loving smile set on her parted lips, right before she dutifully tried to obey her mistress. "I... Aaammmmm.. deeeeeeeeplyyyy.. r-reeelaaaaaaaxed..." A sigh. "Aaaanddd.. oooobeeeeeedieeent." It took a lot of energy for her to say that, and she could almost feel herself dropping deeper. However, when Arima spoke again, she was ready to obey again, each slurred word just taking her deeper and deeper into peaceful trance, a trance she did not want to leave, a state in which she wanted to stay, just receiving love and caresses from her mistress and making her happy by obeying. "I... Haaaaveeee noooo... Resisssstanceeeee.. i haaaveees... Noooo thoooughttssss... I only obeeyyy.. misssstressss Arimaaaaaa."
