Lorica gets into her armor and out the door.

And he goes take a shower.

When he comes out he has an email:

It looks like at least the first bunch of times performing a hypnotic induction takes forever and is really really repetitive. How much will it ruin all your fun if the bot imitates my voice for that part?
Permalink

A bit, but the goal here's killing Endbringers not turning me on, there are other ways to do that.

Permalink

I mean, I'd take over once you were under and I could make you bark like a chicken and so forth. And it's supposed to speed up once you're accustomed? I'm not sure how much I buy some of this stuff but that's the idea.

Permalink

Now my mind's gone to the gutter again.

Permalink

Of course it has.

Permalink

That's for the future, though. Any idea what the progression rate's like, whether there's any difference in suggestibility if it's the first or hundred-and-first time?

Permalink

Seems to vary person to person, I don't know how suggestible you are at baseline.

Permalink

Probably more than most, due to power, but I was asking more whether there was an actual change over time or something, or if it doesn't work the first time we might as well give up.

Permalink

It seems to think it can change over time and if you're suggestible enough to start and we practice a lot I should eventually be able to put you under in like two seconds.

Permalink

One, good; two, gutter.

Permalink

I suppose your willingness isn't in question, which is good, this is supposed to help.

Permalink

Yes, I have two entirely different and very compelling incentives, I'm covered on that part.

Permalink

I'd be freaked out, frankly.

Permalink

I'd be freaked out if it was anyone other than you.

Permalink

Anything I should be watching out for, avoiding, etc.?

Permalink

Not sure, what kind of thing do you mean?

Permalink

Like - what would you be worried about someone other than me doing, which I, even though I am me, should not do.

Permalink

If it was anyone other than you anything they did at all would freak me out. Being you, I think other than grievous physical harm and revealing my identity or power, I don't mind.

Permalink

Okay. I will not grievously physically harm you or reveal your identity or power.

Permalink

Thank you!

Permalink

You're welcome.

A couple of days later, as predicted by Lorica, a new Branding person has filled the vacant position, and given that it's the summer holidays, there isn't school blocking off half of Glam's day.

Glam schedules an appointment (is that even what it's called?) with them.
Permalink
The new branding person calls it a "meeting", but whatever.

New branding person is a stylish gentleman in his thirties with one earring and a very nice haircut. Maybe somebody was trying to earn back diversity points. "Hi, Glam, what can I do for you today?"
