Another older story quickly tweaked up and amended while I work on the Request Challenges. Not any big tweaks here, just the spelling and capitalisation mostly.<br /><br />[after Selphie and Irvine go missing, Quistis looks for them, starting in the village they vanished in. [However], all the villagers except two are gone, [only] the owners of an unusual gallery [remain]. They seem friendly enough towards her and try and answer her questions, but not everything is as it seems... including what you might have expected to happen to Quistis.<br /><br />This one is a slightly darker experiment in mind control writing compared to the ff9 ones where the mc has been for humour. The title is meant to refer to the subject matter: Most of my stories so far have dealt with some kind of transformation through magic or whatever, but in this one it's not a physical transformation as such, the main intended focus being the mind control and hypnosis Quistis is put under by the villains of the piece. Mind (control) over matter (change). <br /><br />The mature warning is just in case. No explicit detail, but there are references to nudity and implied violence in the past.]<br /><br />Original version can be found here as a scrap: <a href="https://lz0291.deviantart.com/art/Mind-Over-Matter-Original-154501088">[link]</a>
