Hypnotic Play
Part 2
"Welcome, everyone, to Episode 2 of Hypnotic Play!"
The crowd applauded as Kyrie and Kylie came onstage, smiling and waving to the audience.
Kyrie winked at the audience, teasingly tugging on her lab coat a bit- being only closed with one button, her nipples were just barely covered up, and her curves were mostly bared for all to see. "I'm quite shocked we got a second episode, honestly- it was quite difficult to convince my sister to even step foot in here, at first. Though, sis, I have to say, you did QUITE well last time! How are you feeling?"
Kylie smiled warmly at the audience. "Well, seeing as all of you have acted quite respectful to me and utterly lewd towards my dear sister here, I've had quite a good experience!"
Kyrie elbowed her. "Odd- I thought sisters were supposed to protect each other from perverts, huh? What happened to that particular sentiment, I wonder?"
Kylie shrugged. "Well, you clearly enjoy it. Who am I to spoil your fun?"
"Anyway", Kyrie said, waving away Kylie's comment, "The procedure is the same as last time. My sister will choose a willing participant to come up and be hypnotized, my sister will explain her process as she enthralls her victim- er, patient- and, I, of course, will be here to commentate, take notes, and encourage any... 'deviant' side effects of the hypnosis~"
Kylie looked over the crowd. "Alright, everyone! Raise your hand if you want the experience of a lifetime!"
As hands shot up in the air, Kyrie commented: "By the way, could you pick a girl this time? The show could use a balance, you know?"
"Oh? And you're sure you're not just saying that because you want to flirt with cute girls?"
Kyrie retorted. "Oh, cut me some slack! As much as I'm willing to mess around with guys for the sake of both research and the amusement of the masses, you know full well that I'm a lesbian! A connoisseur of the finer sex- so long as my girlfriend says it's okay, of course."
Kylie smiled. "Fine, fine. How about- oh, you, lady, in the front. You seem VERY eager. Why not come up and introduce yourself?"
A fiery young woman with a ponytail and ripped jeans stepped onto the stage, pointing at Kylie. "My name is Minnow Marilyn, internet influencer and myth debunker, and I'm here to challenge you, Kylie!"
Kylie tilted her head. "Ooh, an influencer? Pleased to meet you! Gosh, I'm a bit nervous..."
Minnow grinned. "See, as much as I respect you, being a fellow professional artist of sorts- and don't let anyone tell you otherwise, lady- I think hypnotism is bullshit! Not much is known about it- and it certainly isn't the most well researched topic around! It still seems to be more 'party trick' than 'therapy method'- but what kind of influencer would I be if I didn't back up my words with action?"
Kyrie pushed up her glasses. "I see- a fellow curious spirit! I like you already, cutie~"
Minnow glanced at Kyrie. "Oh, yeah, Ms. Lab Coat. And, er, nothing else, apparently..." Minnow looked her up and down, blushing a bit. She shook her head and refocused. "Ah! What I meant to say was- I have questions about your methods too, lady! Too much rigor, not enough action! Which is why I'm gonna test your scheme the only way I know how- a challenge!"
Turning back to Kylie, she pointed dramatically. "I've read up on every trick in the book, little mental barriers and blockades I can use to RESIST hypnosis! So do your best to hypnotize me- if you can! Let's see if you're really the enchantress you claim to be!"
Music suddenly sounded in the background, and pillars of fire lit up the stage. Kylie jumped in surprise. "Ack! What was that?"
Minnow looked around. "Oh, that's my SFX team. They're very good at their jobs. Actually, they're SO good that I don't even see them when they work, ever. It's a bit creepy."
Kyrie laughed. "Well! I like your style! If you and your team of SFX ninjas want to help bring my show to life, I won't object a bit. Just so you know, though, this show is about two things, hypnosis and perversion- so if you don't like that second part, then you best back out now!"
Minnow grinned deviously, her toothy smile putting Kyrie off a bit. "Oh, trust me- I don't mind that one bit..."
After signing some consent paperwork and going over safewords, Kylie smiled and gestured to the chair. "Please, have a seat."
Minnow grinned. "I'd prefer to stay standing, thanks. Did you really think it would be that easy to get me to relax?"
Kylie beamed. "Ah, well, I see you've done your research at least... yes, offering patients a seat is my way of getting them to relax, and also get them used to obeying commands and cues. But I can still hypnotize you while standing- don't get too cocky... I have my ways!"
Kylie took out her pendulum and began to swing it back and forth.
Minnow tilted her head. "I'd like to point out that the pendulum won't work on me. I'm focusing my eyes on your eyes, rather than the coin, so the rhythmic pattern won't lull my brain at all."
Kylie was still smiling. "Oh? Bold of you to think that my eyes aren't hypnotic as well..."
Kyrie was furiously scribbling down notes. "Fascinating... to think there are so many traps to fall into when it comes to hypnosis! The chair, the pendulum, even the eyes!"
Kylie laughed. "Oh, I was joking. My eyes aren't hypnotic... that is, my little Minnow, unless you'd like to get lost in them for a while..."
Minnow blushed a bit, but still held her gaze while smiling. "Flirting? I know this is a scheme, too, you know. You always converse with your patients to make them more comfortable and direct their thoughts towards your suggestions. I'll just stop talking to you!"
"Oh? You'll stop talking to me, will you?"
"That's right!"
"I dunno... I really enjoy talking to you. Maybe I'll just keep talking..."
"No way! I don't want to hear your voice! Stop trying to trick me!"
"Maybe you ought to shut me up, then."
