The technician checked her clipboard, then looked up to verify the apartment number. With a confirming nod to herself, she rang the doorbell. Initially, she heard nothing. After a few seconds, she heard faint voices and muffled steps approaching. In another moment, the door opened.
"Hello?"
A young, barefoot woman stood inside the door, staring questioningly at the technician. She had blonde hair framing a pretty face atop a toned body hugged by a tight T-shirt and leggings.
"Hello," said the technician. "I'm here about the faulty video."
"What? Are you serious? I just submitted my complaint online, like, a half hour ago."
"Yes, and they sent me right over."
"I didn't know they'd send anybody over. I just wanted to complain about their crappy product. And maybe get my money back."
"If I can't fix the video, you will most certainly get your money back. In fact, I'm authorized to provide you a refund on the spot."
"Um...wow! I wasn't expecting that at all. That's great. That's awesome. Talk about customer service."
"May I come in?" asked the technician. "So I can examine the video?"
"Oh, right, sure," said the young woman.
She stepped back from the door and beckoned the technician in.
"Who's at the door, Shannon?" asked a female voice from another room.
"You're never going to believe who it is, Vivi," Shannon called back.
Shannon led the technician into the living room. Another young woman sat on the couch with her bare feet propped up on an ottoman. She had long dark hair and a dark complexion. Even dressed casually in a tanktop and shorts, she looked exotically beautiful.
"It's a repairwoman for the video!" Shannon said with a big grin.
"It's a who for the what?" Vivi asked, her eyes wandering back and forth between her girlfriend and the clipboard wielding stranger.
"Hello," the technician said. "As I was telling Shannon here, we received a complaint that your video wasn't working. I was sent out to see if I could fix it. And if not, I'll setup an immediate refund for you."
"Are you serious?" Vivi asked.
"That's what I said!" Shannon said.
"Yes, I'm serious," the technician said. "Why don't you show me the video, and I'll see what I can do."
"Sounds good," Vivi said. "Hey, Shannon, where's the remote?"
"I don't know. You had it last."
"No, you did. You turned off the TV when you got annoyed that the video didn't work."
"Yeah, fine, whatever."
"So, can you help me find it?"
"Yeah, yeah, I'm helping."
Shannon had knelt down in front of the couch and was rummaging through its cushions.
"Here it is," she said after a while. "Right where it should have been."
"Uh-huh," Vivi said, rolling her eyes. "So, do you want to show the nice lady what the problem is?"
"Yep," Shannon said.
She plopped down on the couch, aimed the remote at the TV, and clicked. The technician turned to face the screen as it came on. Shannon then clicked another button, and a video began to load.
The title screen announced in bold, stylized letters: "MESMERO--THE BEST MESMERISM MONEY CAN BUY." Beneath it, three lines of subtitles expounded: "Real Hypnosis That Really Works. Infallible Mind Control for the Discerning Fetishist. No Skill in or Knowledge of Hypnotism Necessary!"
"Looks good so far," the technician said.
"Yeah," Shannon said. "The title screen and menu work fine. The problem is, the induction totally sucks. It's completely lame and ineffectual."
She gestured obscenely at the TV.
"High strung much?" Vivi said.
"Well, yeah, when I spend good money on 'infallible mind control' that doesn't infallibly control my mind, I am high strung about it."
"Oh yeah, $8.99 is worth a heart attack. Chill for a second and see if the lady can fix it, okay?"
Shannon harrumphed but didn't argue, signalling that she knew Vivi was right. The technician, who had been waiting patiently through the squabble, then spoke up.
"Can you show me the induction please?"
With a nod, Shannon clicked to the menu screen. From there, she chose "Induction." Almost immediately, a multi-colored spiraling pattern filled the screen.
"That's not going to hypnotize you, is it?" Vivi asked the technician. "I mean, I want it to put her under, but not you."
"Oh, no," the technician said with a sweet smile. "We're trained to resist these video inductions. Otherwise, we wouldn't be able to do our jobs. So, Shannon, this doesn't affect you at all? No eye fixation? No drowsiness? No increased suggestibility?"
"Nope," Shannon said.
"Hm. Is this the generic video?"
"It shouldn't be. I ordered a themed one. But I don't see any kind of theme."
"What was the theme that you ordered?"
"Snake eyes."
"You know, like Kaa from the Disney cartoons," Vivi said.
"Except not Kaa, because you guys don't have the rights to use him," Shannon said sulkily.
"I said like Kaa, grumpass."
"I heard what you said."
Vivi groaned, then turned to the technician.
"Sorry. Anyway, we were hoping for a snake theme. She's fascinated by snakes, which would make it a lot easier to put her under."
"Her, too. She loves snakes and could totally be hypnotized by one," Shannon said.
"Yes, me, too," Vivi said with another rolling of her eyes. "It would make it a lot easier to put both of us under."
"Of course," the technician said. "I understand. May I see the remote?"
Shannon handed it to her. She pointed it at the screen and began clicking through a series of menus.
"Oh, hey, wow, I didn't know there was a settings option," Shannon said as she watched the technician deftly navigate through the program.
"Here you go," the technician said after a few seconds. "Let's try it, now."
Back again at the menu screen, she clicked to start the induction. The multi-colored spiraling pattern began again.
"Oh, man, this is the same thing," Shannon said dejectedly. "I was hoping it would work now."
Vivi put a consoling hand on her shoulder. Shannon turned to face her girlfriend, and they both sighed together.
"Hold on ladies," the technician said. "Keep watching."
Turning back to the screen, the young women saw the spiral begin to slowly shrink. Around it, something else began to take shape. It took a moment, and then it became apparent what was happening:
The camera was pulling back to reveal an eye--more specifically, a snake's eye, with the colorful spiral as its pupil.
"Wow!" Vivi said. "Cool!"
Shannon squealed in childlike glee.
The camera continued its pull-back until the full head of a snake hung before the viewer. Its eyes swirled immutably, like rainbow splashed whirlpools.
Smiling at her handiwork, the technician turned back to see the customers' reactions. When she did, she had to stifle a laugh. The induction had completely enraptured both women. They stared blankly and swayed slightly. Shannon's mouth hung open, while Vivi's lips quivered.
"You were right ladies," the technician said with a smile. "The snake theme made it a lot easier."
She took out her cell phone and dialed a number.
"It's me, checking in. Almost done with my last service call for the day. Yeah, the one where the induction wasn't working. No, it wasn't broken. The default hadn't been set to the theme the girl wanted. Yeah, once I set it, it worked fine. Yep, the girl is hypnotized. So is her friend. They're both totally zonked. No, I'm not worried about their suggestibility. That wasn't the issue. The call was for the induction not working. Now it works. I'm finished here. Okay. Yeah. Later."
After hanging up, the technician looked back at the two women. They both wore sleepy grins beneath their wide, blank stares. She smiled. Making customers happy made her happy.
But she also saw how attractive both women were. Slowly, her smile twisted into a smirk. Maybe she had been hasty in saying she wasn't worried about their suggestibility. Maybe that was something she should test.
"Can you hear me, ladies?"
"Yes," Shannon and Vivi both said in the same monotone drawl.
"You will address me as Mistress."
"Yes, Mistress," they again said together.
"You are my slaves."
"We are your slaves."
"You will do whatever I tell you to do."
"We will do whatever you tell us to do."
The technician nodded appreciatively. The girls showed considerable suggestibility. It was good to know Mesmero delivered on its promises. And it was better still to have two lovely young women enthralled and enslaved to your will, and plenty of time to have fun with them.
"Snakes, huh?" the technician thought, tapping her chin.
She turned off the TV. Though no longer beholden to the video, the women on the couch remained entranced.
"Vivi, stand up."
The hypnotized young woman stood obediently.
"Shannon, stretch out over the couch."
The technician watched as her command was obeyed.
"Vivi, you are a snake, and Shannon is your plaything. Play with her."
As if drunk or drugged, Vivi suddenly went limp and crumpled to the floor. Then, she wiggled over to the couch by Shannon's head and lifted her upper body onto it. She maneuvered herself over and around Shannon's prone form, flicking her tongue in and out as she did.
Intrigued by the sensual scene before her, the technician raised an eyebrow.
Slowly, Vivi eased herself down Shannon's body until she reached her girlfriend's feet. Shannon alternately giggled and moaned in delight, as Vivi's tongue licked her in all the sensitive spots on her toes and soles.
Almost hypnotized herself by the amazing sight, the technician smiled and observed in silence for several minutes. Finally, she gave another set of commands:
"Vivi, stop. I want you to slowly transform from a snake back into a person. Shannon, as Vivi changes back to herself, I want you to become a snake. Vivi will then be your plaything, and you will play with her."
Without faltering, Vivi suddenly straightened and sat up. At the same time, Shannon loosened and slid to the floor. For several minutes, the new snake coiled around and caressed her toy, much as she the previous snake had done.
After a while, the technician looked at her watch. She had no more service calls, but she did have plans for the evening.
"Ladies, revert to normal and sit on the couch like you were before."
Shannon and Vivi complied.
"When you hear your front door close, you are going to wake up from your trance. You won't remember anything that has just happened, nor that I was ever here. Although...you will remember how to change the settings on the video. Do you understand?"
"Yes, Mistress," the two hypnotized women said.
With that, the technician nodded, then turned and left the room.
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
Vivi blinked, then looked at Shannon on the couch next to her.
"Is that someone at the door?"
Shannon shook herself out of a daze she hadn't realized she'd been in.
"Huh? Oh, no, I don't hear anything."
"Okay. Never mind. So, how do you like the video?"
"Wow, yeah, it's good," Shannon said. "That snake-eyes induction really does the trick."
"Great! Want to give it a go so I can see?" Vivi asked.
"Sure. But next time, it's your turn."
"That's fair."
Shannon picked up the remote and started the video. From the induction screen, the colored spiral appeared then slowly pulled back to reveal the snake's head and eyes. Vivi turned away so as not to watch it. She instead looked at Shannon, who second by second fell under the power of the bewitching serpentine gaze.
"Can you hear me, Shannon?" Vivi asked after a little while.
"Yes," Shannon said in a monotone drawl.
"You will address me as Mistress."
"Yes, Mistress."
"You are my slave."
"I am your slave."
"You will do whatever I tell you to do."
"I will do whatever you tell me to do."
Vivi nodded appreciatively. Shannon showed considerable suggestibility. It was good to know Mesmero delivered on its promises. And it was better still to have a lovely girlfriend enthralled and enslaved to your will, and all night to have fun with her.
She tapped her chin in thought, then smiled as an idea came to her.
"Shannon, you are a snake, and I am your plaything. Play with me."
As Shannon obeyed the command, Vivi giggled and moaned in delight. She decided that the video had so been worth it and that they'd be using it a lot from now on….
