You are a hypnotist
« on: June 27, 2011, 07:26:48 pm »
Here's my pitiful attempt at a "You are a(n) X" suggestion game:

You're a hypnotist in a town with no interest in hypnotism. You think back to earlier days, when bookings came like water. You took what you could fit in each day, because you loved hypnotism, and people loved you. Your constant practice made you very good. Then, at the peak of your career, he showed up.

That glasses-wearing fool ruined everything. He denounced your practice, your very way of life, as a mere parlor trick. You challenged him - "If I can hypnotize you", you said, "then you must retract everything you have said about my work." He accepted, adding with an evil sort of smile, "Sure, but we will make this a public event." What made him so confident? The day finally came. Cameras were on you as loyal fans cheered you on. Yet, he still seemed so calm. His dark grin was back... finally you realized why you hated it. It was condescending. He was playing around. From the beginning he didn't take you seriously. You'd show him! You'd make him... bark like a dog! Yes... that's what he deserved. In your greatest performance yet, you commanded him to sleep. Everything was flawless, seamless, and beautiful. The final moment came. "Awake dog, and bark!"

He did awake, or at least open his eyes. Then he turned to face you, and said "first give me a biscuit." The crowd laughed at his joke, and at you. He made you into his fool. You couldn't believe it. How did he do it? You are still baffled. Ever since, things have been slow, getting slower. Nobody wants a hypnotist anymore. Nobody even recognizes you anymore. You don't even recognize yourself nowadays.

...the magic in the air has vanished, as has your income.

You finish your inner-prologue, hoping to finally leave it behind. That's why you came to the subway station. You don't know where you're going, just that you must go. You still have 1000 credits to your name, and some of your equipment. You need a ticket.

Now it's your turn to control the story. Will you be a good hypnotist, or an evil one. Or a crazy one? Decide as a community what to do next.

Enough daydreaming. You find the ticket booths, and start heading toward them. On your way, someone runs into you, and then starts running away. What the hell? You approach one of the booths. An old guy greets you from inside it. "One ticket please", you say, "for whatever train's arriving next." "Okay. That will be 300 credits." You reach into trench coat's pocket, and... wait, where the hell did all your cash go? That guy who ran into you, he must have... great, now what?

Also, what's our gender? And name?

Get on the train anyway, realizing you can just swindle foreigners at the airport out of their moneyz.

If we all took that approach, anyone with a highschool understanding of physics would find most of this board painful to read.

You are Boris Vladislav. You are a man.

Hypotize the old man into letting you on the train.

Dr. Boris Vladislav III, though you are not a real doctor and the last three generations of fathers you had actually did not have the first name Boris. Nobody in your family was named Boris. You speak Russian and English fluently.

Boris it is, then.

You take out your handy-dandy hypnodisk, and lean in toward the old man. "You don't need payment for my ticket. Give me my ticket." The weak-minded geezer hands it to you, and wishes you a good day. Before you leave, you have a thought. "Also, give me some credits" you say. "Will 150 be enough? It's all I have since they pay me so little here." You greedily nab his cash as he mutters something about the economy being bad, and then head off to the train platform. You make it with only a little time to spare.

This is the first time you used your hypnotic powers outside of the stage. You don't really know how to feel about it. Also, people were eying you strangely after you got that ticket. Probably not wise to try that kind of stunt in the open again.

By the way, you never looked at your ticket. Curious, you take it out of your pocket and give it a good look. So guys, what's the name of the destination on the ticket?
