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: (Enjoying yourself so far?)
Rosie: Very much, yes!)
Rosie: (you?)
Terra Quincy: (Heh, glad to hear. I'm having fun too.)
Rosie: (I'm glad to hear that, too! And if there's anything you'd like me to change, let me know!)
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"

Nomura crossed her arms over her chest, her prideful posture together with her new outfit making it look completely different to the way in which Leslie had performed the same action coming in. "How could I forget?" She was quick to snap back. "Again, i mean no offense, but look at this place! It is-- !" However, she was cut short when Arima stepped forward all of a sudden, showing her finger and making it sway. Almost immediately, Nomura's eyes focused on it, taking it its movements in awe. No more than a couple of seconds passed before her shoulders and arms relaxed, her crossed arms still in place but looking much limper. "F-forgot...?" What? Was there anything she was supposed to forget? There couldn't be. There couldn't be anything more important than focusing on Arima's finger, and how it swayed back and forth. Her eyes started to gloss over, but she still followed the finger dutifully.
As her eyes kept focus on Arima's finger, with her voice entering her mind easily and effortlessly, Nomura's body started to indeed relax. Her head started moving in compass with her finger, just back and forth, glossed over eyes blinking lazily but glued to the motions. The rest of her body was also relaxing, her arms falling limp and lifeless to her sides right before she took a clumsy step forward, in an attempt to follow the finger from up close. Her jaw also started to fall open, the muscles completely relaxed. There was a lazy nod in response to Arima's words -- it definitely felt nice to drift deeper, and she wanted to go deep, why wouldn't her? Her whole body started swaying lightly growing more and more relaxed. At this point her mind was completely gone, only responding to Amira's words. Her eyelids fell another inch, but remained following the finger completely mesmerized.
Nomura's eyes kept following Amira's finger dutifully, as if it were the only thing in the universe. Which, to her melted mind, it pretty much was. A mind that was already so open and so suggestible that it just kept absorbing the other girl's words, taking them as absolute truth. As a result, she started feeling her eyelids get heavier, a sleepy sensation washing all over her body. She couldn't remember having done anything that could leave her so tired, but the more she watched Amira's finger, the more deliberate the swaying of her own body became, relaxing her muscles and her eyelids. Her green gaze turned even more unfocused, though she still tried to follow Amira's finger, her head tilting lightly to the side, mouth still open. She felt so sleepy and drowsy, so ready to just close her eyes completely... But she also felt very obedient, and thus though her eyes kept fluttering, giving long, lazy blinks, she still fought to keep them open as much as possible, following Amira's finger, falling deeper and deeper into hypnosis. Her body was also getting more relaxed by the second, swaying getting a bit stronger as she struggled to stand on her feet due to the amount of relaxation she was being commanded to feel.
