I gave this whole song and dance about this being a CYOA in the previous part. I don't know why you'd be here if you haven't read Day 1.   >You are Anonymous. >You have just woken up from a peaceful slumber. >The room you were in didn't look like your bedroom... >Wait, that's right. >As you wake up more, your memories start coming back. >You stayed the night at Canterlot Castle. >You wondered if Sunbutt was awake as you grabbed your clothes. >First thing's first, you had to find a bathroom and shower. >Exiting the guest bedroom, you groggily walk the halls of the castle, opening any doors you come across. >Most of the rooms are just guest bedrooms, empty and ready for foreign delegates, you supposed. >Eventually, you come to a door and hear what you think might be running water. >Being half-asleep though, you don't think your next move through and open the door. >It is a bathroom. >There's golden armor on the ground, so you assume it is a royal guard in the shower. >And she's a female. >The shower curtain just had to open, didn't it? >"WHAT ARE YOU DOING IN HERE?" she shrieks, poking her head out. >She's a unicorn too. >And because she's a unicorn, she's currently using her magic to pick up her helmet and toss it at you. >"GET OUT!" >You dodge the helmet flung at you. >Feisty, that's kinky. >She picked up her chestplate and tossed it. >You ducked, but started to smile. >She was out of armor to throw. >She began to toss random toiletry accessories at you. >You didn't even dodge them, you just let them hit you. It's not like it hurt. >You gave her your best bedroom eyes. "ey bb u want sum fuk?" >She stared at you, her jaw agape. >You stared her in the eyes, your offer still standing. >When she got over her shock, she opened the door behind you with her magic, and fired some blast of magic at you. >The force of the blast knocks you out of the bathroom. >The door immediately slams shut, and you hear a click as it becomes locked. >So much for showering in there. >Or maybe you could skip a shower? >No, this wasn't over. >You turned right back around and faced the door. >You began to bang on it with your fists, each hit you made creating a large "THUNK!" "???????? raise ur dongers and gib me sum fuk" >It sounds like the water in the shower has increased in pressure. >She's probably trying to drown the sound of your banging out. >You don't stop. >You want that horse pussy. >"What is going on here!?" an authorative voice calls out. >You freeze up. >Looking behind you, you see a night guard, likely to turn in soon. >Upon closer inspection, you discover that it's Second Wind, the bat-pony guard who you challenged to a fight yesterday as per Luna's dare. >He is giving you a hard stare. >He is not amused at your tomfoolery. >Another male. Good. >Now you can start guy talk. >You just notice that you had morning wood, and it was raging hard. >You look Second Wind straight in the eyes. "Do you think my penis looks nice in these clothes?" >He's taken aback by your question. >You're sure he does it unwillingly, but he eyes your massive dong pushing up against your boxers. >"W-why would you ask me that!?" "I'm trying to impress a girl." >"You mean the one I'm sure you're trying to RAPE in there?" "Pfft, rape? It wasn't gonna be rape. I totally had her." >He deadpans. >He knocks you to the ground and quickly ties your hands together with some kind of binding. >"Since you seem to be new here, I will give you this chance, and ONLY this chance to apologize. I will set you free and we will forget this incident if you do so. Your choice, delinquent." "Alright, alright, I'm sorry." >You look up at him with the most pleading eyes you can muster. >He humphs. >"Smart choice." >He unties your bonds, and you get up. >"Don't let me catch you doing that again. There will be harsh consequences if I do." >You only smile and nod. >He walks away, staring at you before disappearing around a corner. >You wait a couple moments. >When you're sure he's gone, you go right back to banging the door. >This time, the door gives to your banging and opens. >The mare is out of the shower, wrapped in a towel, and is shocked to see you made it through. >There's no running now. "???????? raise ur dongers" >Instead of cowering like she did in the shower, though, she tackles you to the ground. >Seems now that she doesn't need as much privacy, she's ready to fight. >Maybe you can still talk your way out of this? "Okay, I'm sorry!" >Her expression stays angry. >"Oh, sure, and then when I let you go, you're just going to turn around and rape me!" >The word "rape" sure was being flung around a lot today, huh? "No, really, I'm sorry! It's just...uh..." >You had to think of something quick! >You blurt out the first thing that comes to your mind. "I'm actually Princess Twilight Sparkle in disguise!" >Her expression contorts to a confused one. >"...what?" "I'm actually Princess Twilight, and I was sent to make love to your lamp!" >She lets you go due to her utter confusion. >"If you're Princess Twilight in disguise, then change back to normal." >You look around the room for something. >A small lamp is next to the sink on a side table. >Why the fuck was that even here? >Whatever. "Okay, I'll change back." >Quickly, you grab the lamp and smash it over her head. >She had no time to react. >She drops to the floor, unconscious. >There is now an unconscious mare lying on the bathroom floor. >Why did you even do this? >Your only option was obvious. >Go tell Celestia what happened. >She'd understand, right? >But in the case that she got mad at you, you had to come up with a back-up excuse. >Blame Luna. It was foolproof. >You ran out of the room and looked around for any guards. >There were none. >You were glad it might be harder to get caught, but were distressed that you didn't have anyone to ask directions from. >After all, where would Celestia be right now? >You ran about the castle, trying the places you were familiar with. >The first place was the courtyard. >She wasn't there. >You ran like a maniac to the dining room, the place in the castle you'd gotten so used to. >She was there, eating breakfast with her sister. >She noticed you. >"Oh, hello Anonymous. Would you like to join us for breakfast?" >She smiled warmly at you. >This made you feel even more guilty. >You walk up to her, swallowing the lump in your throat. >You take a deep breath. "Princess Celestia." >"Yes Anonymous?" >This was it. "I, uh, knocked out a guard with a lamp." >She stares at you in disbelief. >"What?" "I knocked a guard unconscious. With a lamp." >She frowns at you. >"Why would you do something like that?" >Your finger shoots to Luna. "Your sister made me do it!" >"A lie if I'd ever heard one." Luna looks at you. >"My sister has been here with me this whole time. How could she have made you do this, Anonymous?" >Gee, you're getting pretty sweaty. "O-okay, so it wasn't Luna. It was just..." "Euron Greyjoy hypnotized me to do it!" >She's surprised at your answer. >"Greyjoy?" >She sighs. >"He's abusing his powers again?" Luna was skeptical. >Wait, holy shit, this is working. >Celestia gets up. >"I'll go speak with him. Again." >Luna stands up as well. >"I will accompany you. He is my guard, after all." >You wanted to ask questions so bad, but doing so would blow your cover. "I'll come with too. I want to see how this plays out." >Neither of the princesses object to your decision. >You follow them as they leave the dining room. >As you walk towards wherever these two were leading you, you wonder what the fuck you've just done. >You were ready to make a great one liner when you met this pony. "Hello, Daario." >Celestia looks at you. >"Who's Daario?" "Don't mind me. Thinking out loud." >She shrugs and the three of you make your way to what you assume is a section of the barracks. >You enter a large room, which from the looks of guards eating at tables, you assume is the mess hall. >There is one guard in particular sitting alone at a table, plucking at a pocket watch with a toothpick. >A dark blue batpony with emerald eyes. >"Greyjoy," Luna says. >The pony looks up, and notices Luna. >"My princess," he says in a smooth voice, "how are we this fine day?" >"Greyjoy, why did you hypnotize Anonymous into knocking out a guard?" >She sure did like to get straight to the point. >He scoffed. >"Me? What makes you assume I make everypony around here do bad things?" >"Don't toy with me." >Celestia steps in front of her sister. >"Greyjoy, we've had this discussion before. You know what may happen if you go on another 'hypnosis spree' as you proclaimed it." >"Oh, don't worry, my Princesses. I assure you that I have taken that conversation to heart." >He directs his eyes towards theirs, colorful concentric circles forming in them. >"You believe me, don't you?" >Luna pushes his head away. >"Do you feel like trying my patience today?" >Greyjoy puts a hoof to his cheek and slightly leans forward. >"Oh, can't have any fun, can I?" >He shifts in his seat, and then points to you. >"Regardless, I have just met this 'Anonymous' at this moment. I am not lying to you. I made him do nothing." >He's debunking your excuse. >You begin to writhe on the ground. "N-no, it must not have been Greyjoy! Something's inside me, making me do this!" >The princesses and Greyjoy watch your display. >"You are an utter fool," Greyjoy comments. "There's a demon inside me! It's causing me to think horrible thoughts, do terrible things!" >The royal sisters look at you with concern. >"Sister, do you know what he's doing?" >"No, Luna, I'm afraid I don't." >She looks at Greyjoy. >"Maybe it would actually be better to leave him with you. Your expertise on the mind may help us solve his problem." >You stop writhing on the ground. "No, wa-" >"It shall be done, my princesses. I will have him taken care of in due time." >"Thank you, Greyjoy. Carry on." >The princesses leave you with Count Fuckula. >He stands over you, a condescending look on his face. >"Now, do you want to explain to me why you're acting like an imbecile, or do I have to force it out of you?" >If you're stuck with this guy, you might as well dick around with him. "I act this way because I'm in love with you." >Greyjoy laughs. >"Oh, a sure story. You flatter me, 'Anonymous', was it?" "Uh, yeah." >"Very well. So, what exactly is the reason you were brought to me in the first place?" >The circles flash once in his eyes. >"And don't lie to me. I can get the truth out of you whether you want to say or not." >You may as well. As much as you didn't want to admit it, he could get you to talk. "Okay, so, for some reason, I was compelled to knock out a guard with a lamp, after harassing her with sex. I said you hypnotized me, and here we are." >He laughs heartily. >"Oh, a horny troublemaker, are we? Tell me, how did you know who I was if we had never met?" "To be honest, I don't know. The name just popped up in my head. I guess it was just coincidence that you had the name." >He looks you over for a moment. >"Not a trace of a liar on your face. Excellent." >He sits back down in his seat. >"So, did you want to sit down and chat? I've been lonely and I like your attitude. Very rambunctious. Just like me." >He waves a hoof over the seat next to him. >You decide to sit next to him. >"Oh, a wise choice. If you had refused I would have told Celestia the truth." >That sends a shiver down your spine. >You were treading on thin ice today. >Since you're sitting with him, you might as well start a conversation. "So...uh..." >He smirks. >"Yes, Anonymous?" "You ever try to hypnotize the princesses?" >He laughs. He's been doing that a lot. >"But of course I have! What's the fun in not toying with your superiors every once in a while?" >What a development. "Oh, well, how many times?" >"Too many to count, friend." "And you were successful?" >His smirk grows wider. >"Yes. I've been successful in the past. Funny thing, despite being all powerful and knowing leaders, they're easily entranced. I've only been able to put them both under twice, though. They wised up to it almost immediately." >He shrugs. >"In a sense, I think they fear me. They know when they're vulnerable, I can control them. Ah, but that's only wishful thinking on my part." >This guy's starting to sound a little shady. "Well, what'd you make them do?" >"Nothing drastic. I had them stroke my ego by calling me master, and having them compliment me. Minor things, just to make me feel important." >He chuckles. >It feels like he's not telling you the whole story. >"Is there a reason you're asking me this, Anonymous?" >His face becomes serious. >Maybe you could still fuck with him. "Well Greyjoy, it's just...well...I think I might be in love with Celestia." >His face is blank for a moment. >Then he guffaws loudly. >"Oh, you are quite the comedian, Anonymous!" "But it's true! And you're an expert on the mind and all! You could help me win her heart if you've gotten in her mind!" >He facehoofs. >"Anonymous, if you're really telling the truth, know that I cannot assist you. I've been able to put her under my spell, but that doesn't mean I can hypnotize her to love you." "But I don't want you to hypnotize her. Just help me out with what she likes. You messed with her head, you should partially know how she thinks, right?" >"No, I don't, Anonymous. Even though I've explored her thoughts, I don't know exactly how she thinks every breathing moment. Now quit lying to me about being in love with her. I know you are." >There goes that. >Well, maybe you could talk about something else? >You grin. "Alright, so if you're able to hypnotize the princesses, maybe you could do the impossible." >"I'm listening." "You could hypnotize Luna, convince her Celestia is a handsome stallion, and Luna's in heat really bad. We could watch the fireworks." >Greyjoy is grinning evilly. >"I enjoy this idea greatly, Anonymous." >He frowns. >"Unfortunately, it is next to impossible to control them anymore. They know my tricks too well." >Well, that was a shame. >"BUT." >Oh? >"We could have some fun with the guards, couldn't we? I know of a couple guards whom I can hypnotize until they go braindead, and they'll be none the wiser. Maybe we could enact this plan on them?" "Sounds good. Think you could make them fuck me?" >"Would I even offer to do this if I couldn't?" "Alright, let me lead the way. I've got one in particular in mind." >The two of you get up, and you lead him to the bathroom you had infiltrated earlier. >The mare is still unconscious, lying on the floor. >Nice to know nobody else uses this bathroom. "Ah, she's unconscious, now what?" >"Don't worry, I can still work my magic." >He steps over to her body, leaning down towards her ear. >"Listen. Listen to my voice and awaken. I am the only thing that matters right now. Obedience is your goal. Awaken, and this shall be so." >The guard gets up. >She looks to Greyjoy. >"What is your command?" >He points to you. >"Do you see this being? You want to rut him desperately. You seek only to please him. Do so." >She walks over to you, then turns around and presents herself to you. >Her tail moves to the right, revealing her winking mare vag. >"Insert yourself when ready." >She was a bit monotonous about it, but it's not like it mattered. >Greyjoy chuckles. >"Have fun. I'll be outside when you're done." >He leaves the room. >You take off your pants and present your manhood. >You approach her, rubbing your head smoothly on her lips. >She moans pleasurably as you tease her. >Having had enough fun with your teasing, you insert yourself into her. >She responds with an "Oh!" as she feels you come in. >It's nice and warm inside. >You thrust back and forth, eliciting moans from the unnamed mare. >"Faster, faster!" she begs. >You increase your pace as you begin to feel the build up of pressure in your dick. >"Just a little more! I'm almost finished!" >You feel her walls tightening. She's close indeed. >You thrust a bit more before reaching your climax. >You shoot your seed inside of her. >Her walls squeeze you, then release warm fluids on your manhood. >It is done. >You take yourself out, her juices dripping off of you. >"Are you pleasured?" she asks. >You nod, and put your pants back on. >You exit the room. >Greyjoy smiles at you. >"Enjoy your time?" "It was pretty good. Thanks for that, Greyjoy." >"Anything for a friend." >The mare walks out of the room. >"What do you require of me next?" >"Return to your room and sleep. You will remember none of this." >"As you wish." >She leaves the two of you to yourselves. >After a moment, Greyjoy speaks. >"So Anonymous, what next?" "Well, I'm kinda curious now. If I tagged that mare right there, maybe I can get lucky without hypnosis." >"Go on." "Maybe I should ask Princess Luna on a date! She'll be impressed that I had a sexual experience, right?" >"Princess Luna is likely asleep right now." "Oh, right. Maybe we could wake her up anyways?" >"That would be very unwise. She is extremely cranky when she's woken up, and even then, there are guards outside her room. If you do this, I will not join you." "Yep, I'm gonna do this." >Greyjoy humphs. >"Very well. It's your funeral." >He walks away. >You are now without a cohort. >But now was not the time to grieve, you had a princess to court. >Somewhat remembering the way to her room from yesterday, you climb some stairs and walk through some hallways, making your way to the top of the castle, where you remember the room being. >You finally get to what you'd assume is Luna's chambers, if the guards outside are any indication. >Alright, you can do this. >Right? >You walk up to the two guards, who eye you as you approach. >"Who goes there?" one asks. "I'm Anonymous." >The guards relax. >"Anonymous? You're the one Princess Luna was talking about last night, What do you require from her highness?" >You were prepared for this. "I have important information of the highest caliber for Luna." >"But...she's asleep right now." >The fear in the guards' eyes indicates the fear of waking Luna. >You didn't care, you were doing this. "I'll apologize to her when she wakes up. But this is directly from Celestia." >They still seem reluctant. "Honest." >They stand there for a few more moments before moving. >The guard on the left sighs. >"As you wish. Go in, but be gentle in waking her." >The door is clear, and the guards have given you their blessing. >Time to enter. >You open the door, and find yourself in the same room as yesterday. >As you look around, you wonder, why wasn't she angry when she was woken up yesterday? >Unless it wasn't you and Celestia who woke her up. >Questions aside, you had a princess to wake up. >You scan the dark room before finding the bed. >Light snoring can be heard from it. >Might be a bit tricky to wake her up. >You had a dirty mind today. >You decided to quietly sneak through the room. >You reached the bed in about a minute due to how slow you were moving. >You slowly climbed on top, then crawled under the sheets with Luna. >She continued to snore away. >You crawled lower into the bed, and reached your destination: her voluptuous ass. >It was so round and perfect looking, you couldn't help but sniff it. >There was no discernible scent that came from it, but you didn't care. >Even being near her bottom got you excited. >But how does this wake her up? >You decide to exit the bed and stand next to it, thinking your next plan of action over. >You knew exactly how to wake the sleeping princess. >You crawled back into the bed with her, but this time, you slid your pants and boxers off. >It was hard to get into a comfortable position, what with Luna sleeping on her side, but eventually you got her to roll over and sleep on her back. >It was time. >Directing your manhood towards her marehood, you inched closer and closer, until you were a couple inches away. >You slowly penetrated her walls with your head, hoping you could get in further. >You couldn't. >The MOMENT your dick went in, she woke up. >And then she saw you. >There was an awkward silence as the two of you stared each other down, her hard gaze making you feel weaker the longer you stared into it. >"WHAT DO YOU THINK YOU ARE DOING!?" >She went full Canterlot Royal Voice on you, which sent you flying towards the wall. >She hops out of the bed with lightning speed and pins you to the wall. >Greyjoy was not exaggerating when he said she gets cranky. >If anything, it was an understatement. >It probably doesn't help that you just tried to fuck her, though. >Her eyes look aflame with pure rage as she stares you down, waiting for an answer. >You still had a card up your sleeve. "I-it was Greyjoy! He made me do it!" >She stared you down more. >"Likely story." >She tossed you against the wall next to you with her magic. >Ouch. >"I will make a deal with you, Anonymous. If you can PROVE Greyjoy influenced you to do this by the time I awaken to take over for my sister, I will not have you banished for attempting to rape royalty." >She brings her face just inches from yours. >"Am I understood?" >You nod quickly. "Y-y-y-yes. Of course." >She gives you a look of disgust before opening the door with her magic and tossing you out. >She also throws out your pants and boxers, which land on your head. >"Guards, under no circumstances are you to allow Anonymous into my chambers unless I directly tell you otherwise. Am I understood?" >"Yes Princess Luna!" the guards answered in unison. >She nods at the guards. >"Excellent. Anonymous, you have 7 hours. Use that time well. >She slams the door to her chambers, leaving you and the guards disoriented. >Well, that could have gone better. >You sigh as you get your pants put back on you. >You approach the door, only to be halted by the guards. >"You're not seriously trying to go back in there, are you?" the one on the left asks. >"I think it'd be best if you went somewhere else," the other one says. >Might as well leave. Good thing you couldn't get back in there to apologize. >You would have been banished if you did! >Even if she accepted your apology. >There was one thing to do. >You had to get Greyjoy to say he hypnotized you. >Of course, this wasn't gonna be easy, but think of the right excuse or conversation to start with, and he'd be convinced well. >Greyjoy was a bit flirty with you earlier. >Maybe he was gay? >If that was the case, you could try to seduce him or something. >As you walked the castle pondering this, you bump into someone. >"Oh, hello Anonymous." >Princess Celestia. >"So, how has your day been going?" "Ehhh...it's been different. You're pretty busy though, aren't you?" >"Yes, I'm afraid I am. I was just on my way to begin noon court. I'll see you later when I have more free time on my hooves, okay Anon?" >She smiles as she walks off. >Oh God, the guilt is killing you. >She must not know what you've done to her sister. >You continued trekking the halls of the castle, feeling nauseous as your guilt builds. >You come to the mess hall again, with Greyjoy on your mind. >He is in the same spot as earlier, again tinkering with that pocket watch. >Does he ever sleep? >He notices you. >"Oh, so you survived, did you? Quite a surprise, considering Luna's temper." >You take the seat across from him. "She wants me banished, unless I can prove you hypnotized me to almost fuck her." >You didn't even want to beat around the bush. >He grabs your shirt and pulls you towards him. >"YOU DID WHAT!?" >He lets go of you. >"Are you even aware of what you've done!?" "Yes. One of us is leaving once Luna wakes up." >He slams his hoof on the table. >Why in Tartarus did you even attempt to copulate with her!? Are you that stupid!?" "Hey, lemme put it to you like this: If you take the fall, I'll give you a couple 'favors' before you go." >He smacks you across the face. >"Are you suggesting I swing that way!? I do NOT!" >There goes that plan. >"Thinkthinkthinkthinkthink..." >He concentrated as he put a hoof to his chin in thought. >He stopped and looked at you. >He sighed. >"Anonymous. I don't know why, but I feel compelled to help you out of this. It might be because you're the only one who has actually talked to me in quite some time." >He clears his throat. >"That aside, I know how we can save both of us from banishment." >You're intrigued. "How do we do that?" >"The princesses know everything to expect from me when it comes to hypnosis. They know my lines, the way I move my eyes, every single hint that I'm trying to entrance them, they know." >He takes a breath. >"BUT, if I were to teach YOU my hypnosis techniques, you might be able to make Luna forget what you did to her. We would both be saved, and maybe we could even be partners in mischief around here. What do you say?" >Finally, things were looking up. >Of course, if you wanted to be stupid, you could disagree with his plan. "Yeah, that sounds real good. Teach me your ways." >Greyjoy smiles. >"Perfect, I knew you'd see it my way." >He gets up from the table. >"If you'll follow me to somewhere private..." >Despite not liking the sound of that, you didn't have any other choice then to follow him. >He leads you outside to the courtyard. >No ponies are around. >"Here. If anypony notices us, we can hide behind in the gardens right next to us. >He points towards a large assortment of flowers and bushes, all big enough to hide in. >"Now, are you ready?" "Yep. Bring it on."   HOURS UNTIL LUNA WAKES UP: 7 >"Now, the first trick to hypnosis is to get your victim, er, subject, to lower their mental guard." >You weren't an expert on hypnosis, but that didn't sound like how it worked back home. >"For example: talk them into a conversation where they feel relaxed and comfortable. Don't discuss subjects they would become defensive of. The trick is to reel them in with a nice chat." "Right." >"The next rule is to make eye contact. I'm sure you understand how vital this is." "What if you're not gonna use your eyes though?" >"We'll get into that later. Right now we're focusing on the easier methods." >He circles you, keeping an eye out for other ponies. >"Along with the previous steps, it helps to change the tone of your voice. Did you notice how I addressed the Princesses earlier?" >You remembered the conversation he had with the royal sisters. His voice had a bit of a seductive undertone to it. "Wait, seriously? Changing your voice?" >He shrugs. >"I've always found it helps. Maybe it's different for others. I find I can pull it off because of my handsome appearance and smooth voice." >He smirks as he strokes his ego. >"But getting back on track, it helps when you appeal to a sense. I've found through experimentation that all five senses are vulnerable. Even sexual appeal works." >He chuckles. >"But I suppose that would count as seduction." >You were definitely sure this wasn't how hypnosis worked back home. Maybe it was just different for Equestria? >"So maybe you put on a certain cologne or pretty yourself up. Every bit helps." >He clears his throat. >"When their guard has completely dropped, you must make your move. Using whatever presence to appeal to a sense that you have, try and bring attention to it. Make sure the appeal is strong, otherwise it will not work. Get them so entranced in the appeal that they surrender their thoughts to it. You have to subtly convince them to give in. When they no longer are capable of rational thought and are overly focused on the appeal, begin to make suggestions. They will be subconsciously listening to you, and will begin to fall under your spell. I recommend putting them to sleep before anything else, so they do not suddenly break from the trance." >He finished with a cough. >Well, that was informative. >"Now, any questions? Or would you like to move on?" "I'm good. What's next?" >He hums. >"I suppose if you've got all of that, the next step would be to teach you how to appeal to certain senses." >He pulls out that same pocket watch from seemingly nowhere. >"Take, for example, this watch. This obviously appeals to sight. But, in some cases, such as this pocket watch, sight appeal requires more than just seeing the object." >He swings it left and right. >"If it has no true appeal on its own, you have to give it one. This watch alone wouldn't be able to do anything, but swinging it back and forth brings more focus onto it. The main focus with sight appeal is to show your subject something they can get lost in looking at." >He stopped the watch. >"Maybe that's why those odd swirling patterns work so well? It's something the subject can immensely focus on. Something they lose their minds to. You understand, don't you?" "Yep. I've gotten everything so far." >"Excellent. Now, for sound appeal, you obviously need something very relaxing sounding." >He chuckles. >"Take my voice for example. It sounds very smooth and calming, does it not?" "Yeah, it does. Not like I can pull off hypnosis with my voice, though." >"Ah, but if you practice well enough, you can get it down. But we're getting off track. It can be anything soft, relaxing, and preferably slow." >He clicks a button on his watch, and music begins to play from it. >"As they get lost within the sounds, begin making your suggestions, and they'll be under in no time." >He clicks the button again, and the music stops. >"Smell, Taste, and Touch are the more difficult senses to appeal to. For smell, all I can recommend is putting on a strong cologne of some sort that gives off a pleasing smell, and not like those cheap ones you find at the thrift store. Those never work." >"Taste would require you to get their favorite foods, I'd assume. Either that, or refer to it several times and get them lost in the thought of the flavor. It's something I don't do often because it is extremely difficult to pull off. And for my favorite one...touch." >He snickers with a toothy grin plastered on his face. >"Ah, the possibilities you could have with touch. The easiest method with touch is to offer them a nice, relaxing massage. Make sure you gently rub their most sensitive spots. That drives them to absolute relaxation." >Your mind flashes back to yesterday, when you pet Celestia those few times. >You could have mind raped her that whole time. >Who'da thunk it? >He smiles widely. >"Truth be told, it's how I put both of the princesses under the first time. Ah, what sweet memories..." >He closes his eyes and takes a deep breath as his cheeks go rosy red. >Seems like appealing to touch was a good choice. >His eyes open. >"Oh, dear me, I'm getting caught in the past. Where was I? Oh, yes. Once you have them absolutely relaxed, you can begin planting your suggestions. I recommend soothing them with your voice and smooth talking as you massage their bodies. I know from experience that it works." >He takes another deep breath. >"Now, any questions?" "Actually, I do have a question." >"Speak your mind." >You seductively slide your suit jacket off. "You wanna have a good time?" >He smacks you. >"Anonymous, you already tried to do that. Are you really that stupid?" >Oh, well, that got you nowhere. >"But you don't seem to have any questions, so let's move on. The next step is to test your hypnotic skills." >"Anonymous, are you out here somewhere?" >It was Celestia. >Greyjoy smirked at you. >"And I think we've found our perfect subject. If you succeed with her, then you are no doubt ready to face Luna." >Your options were looking slim. >You could pussy out of trying to hypnotize Celestia, and just see what she wants, or you could go through with it and see if you've taken Greyjoy's lessons well. >You feel real confident after Greyjoy's lessons. >You were gonna do it, and you were gonna get her. "Greyjoy, I think I can do this." >"Perfect, Anonymous. Now, go get her. Make me proud." >You left Greyjoy and walked towards Celestia, but then thought of something. >What sense were you going to appeal to? >Celestia sees you as you approach. >"Oh, Anonymous, there you are. Noon court is over. Would you be interested in joining me for lunch?" >Lunch. >It was obvious you would have to appeal to her taste. "Absolutely. We didn't get to have lunch together yesterday. I guess this will make up for it." >"Oh, I guess so. To be honest, I forgot about that." >She smiles. >"Let's get going then. Don't want the food to be cold when we get there, do we?" >You leave with Celestia, Greyjoy giving you signals as the two of you walk off. >You aren't sure what he's trying to say, but you think he's wishing you good luck. >A fast travel later and you're back in the dining room you've grown a sort of special bond with. >Celestia takes a seat at an end of the table. >You sit next to her in a chair on the side of the table. >A chef comes out with a tray of platters. >As she sets the food down on the table, she eyes you warily, remembering the rapping and the beating of the head chef. >"Lunch is served, your majesty." >The lid was lifted to reveal several plates of Equestrian dishes. >The Princess licks her lips. >Nothing inedible, but might take some time to get used to. >"So Anonymous, how has your day been?" >So she's starting the conversation. >Just makes your job easier. >Remember to keep the conversation calm and relaxed though. You'll find a food to make her invest her focus in later. "I've been alright today. Castle's a bit expansive, though. It's hard to get around." >Celestia waved her hoof. >"Oh, yes, I know. You get used to it." >Considering she's probably been living here for over 1,000 years, she's had plenty of time to explore. "So, Celestia, this is some pretty good food." >"My chefs work hard to ensure I get a good meal. I...just wish they wouldn't try so hard to please me." "Well, what's your favorite food they make you?" >She closes her eyes and takes a deep breath, a grin on her face. >"A simple chocolate cake. It's not so intricate that you have too many flavors hitting you at once. Just a basic, chocolaty treat." >She paused for a moment. >"Preferably with a small cherry on top." >A chef runs out of the kitchen with another platter. >"Apologies, your majesty. We tried to get this out as fast as we could! It was supposed to be out with the whole meal, but our previous attempts were-" >She puts a hoof on the chef's mouth to silence him. >"Don't worry, Iron Skillet. It's okay." >Her motherly smile calms him. >"R-right, your majesty. In any case, bon appetite." >He lifts the lid. >It is the cake exactly as she described earlier. >"Oh, thank you. It looks delicious." >"Anything for you, my princess." >The chef slinks back into the kitchen. >He was just handing this to you. >The two of you finish your meals, then get to the cake. >She takes a slice in her magic, and takes a bite. >Now is your chance. HOURS UNTIL LUNA WAKES UP: 5 >She chews on the cake, beaming. "So, how's it taste, Princess?" >She dabs at her lips with a napkin. >"Delicious." >You nod. "I'm not surprised. It looks absolutely delectable." >"Oh, it is. The chocolate blends in well with the cake's texture, the cherry adds a sweet fruit taste to the entire cake. Ah, and it comes together so well. It's a fine treat for anypony." "And it smells fresh out of the oven. It's one of the best aromas I know." >"I agree with you. The smell convinces you to give in to that sweet tooth craving you're trying to avoid. It might be a bit embarrassing to admit this, but sometimes the smell is so great that it distracts me from my duties." >You imagine Celestia being lifted into the air by the scent of baking cake. >Just like in those old cartoons. "You mind if I have a slice?" >She nods. >"Go ahead, Anonymous. I don't mind." >You grab your fork and slide a piece of cake under it, plopping it onto your plate. >You dig in and take a bite. "Mmm, this is good." >"But isn't it?" "I could get lost in this flavor..." >You notice you have a bit of frosting on your fingers. >This oughta be effective. >You set your fork down and bring your finger to your face, letting your tongue slip out of your mouth and taking a tender lick of it. >Celestia is watching you closely. "Oh, this is just too good. The taste is exceptional." >She takes another bite, though a bit absent-mindedly. >"Anonymous, you're really getting into the flavor. You're making me appreciate it much more..." "That's because it's just sooo delicious." >You dab your finger into your slice and get some more frosting, along with a small bit of cake. >You suck on your caked finger. "The frosting is so smooth, so creamy. Easy to love. And the cake is nice and moist, with a warm temperature." >"Mmm, it...is." >She's starting to lose herself. >It's working. "Aren't you glad we're able to indulge in this cake?" >You lick your finger again. >The taste lingers. >Celestia subconsciously licks her lips. >"I am glad. I've never felt this...invested in such a delicious flavor..." >You cut another bite off and slowly bring it to your mouth. >She watches intently. >You insert the cake and chew it slowly. "The cake makes me feel a bit sleepy, too." >You continue to chew. "Does it make you sleepy?" >She only nods. "Like you're just getting too tired. You want to sleep. You can't resist closing your eyes." >She begins to doze. "It makes you want to obey the flavor, doesn't it? This fine, delectable treat, and the one eating it." >She nods, her eyes closing a bit as time goes on. "So why don't you just listen to my voice? Imagine it as that irresistible sweet flavor. You can't deny how good it is. You have to listen to the flavor. Listen to my voice and imagine it's as smooth as that frosting." >"I...I..." "Sleep, and hear me." >She finally drops. >She slumps over and rests her head on the table. >She snores. >You have done it. >You are definitely ready for Luna. >Now that you think about it, that cake was actually pretty good. >With Snorelestia over there unconscious, the baked treat was yours for the taking. >You take the entire platter it sits on and dig in with your fork. >About 10 minutes later, there isn't a single scrap of cake left. >You were pretty hungry, so it's okay. >You didn't really care about nutrition anyways. >Celestia continues to snore, reminding you that she was still there. >No harm in double checking to make sure she's under your power. "Celestia, can you hear me?" >"Yes." "Is my voice the only thing you can hear or think of?" >"Yes." >Perfect. >It was time to dick around a little. "Celestia, I want you to heed my words carefully. Are you listening?" >"Yes." >It was time to set up a phrase that would immediately entrance her again. >You take her chin into your hand and direct her face towards you. "When you hear the phrase 'GNU/Linux', you will re-enter a trance and be vulnerable to suggestion. However, you will ONLY be able to hear the phrase from me. Hearing it from anyone else will make it sound muffled. Do you understand?" >"Yes." >What else? "Now, look at me and listen well." >Her eyes open. >Those same concentric circles from Greyjoy are spinning in her eyes. "You are absolutely okay with me putting you under my power. Believe me when I say that I will not abuse my power. I will never take advantage of it." >You scratch her chin. >She stares blankly. "Do you understand?" >"Yes." "Good. Now, when I snap my fingers, you will wake up. You will not remember this conversation, but you will remember my commands." >She nods. >You take your hand off of her chin and snap your fingers. >She blinks and shakes her head. >Her eyes are normal now. >She looks at the table and notices the entire cake is gone. >"Oh, I must've been really hungry." >She scrunches her nose. >"Oddly enough though, I don't remember eating it. Do you know what happened to the cake, Anonymous?" "GNU/Linux." >She is immediately entranced again. >Good, so it works. "You ate the entire cake yourself. You feel pudgy and full because of it." >You're about to snap your fingers, but stop. "Also, you can call me Anon too. It's easier than Anonymous." >You snap your fingers. >She is normal again. >"Oh my, I really did eat all of that cake, didn't I?" >She rubs her belly. >"I think I should go work this off. I'll go take a walk." >She gets up from the table. >"Would you like to join me, Anon?" "Yeah, sure. I can come with." >Celestia smiles. >"Good. I wasn't looking forward to being alone while I walked." >You leave the dining room with her. "So, any particular destination?" >She hums. >"Let's go to the gardens outside. It'd be nice to have something pretty to look at while we walked." >You resisted the urge to smooth talk her with a one-liner. "Lead the way. I'll be right behind you." >She makes her way outside into the gardens as you tag along. >You can't help but stare at her big butt as you walk. >The two of you open the entrance to the courtyard and are hit by beams of her sun. >You walk past the courtyard and into the garden, taking note of all the rare-looking flowers. >"Well, here we are. What say we walk some laps around the flowers?" "Works for me." >The two of you begin your laps silently, letting the sun's warm light embrace you. >It's a couple minutes later when you decide to talk. "Hey, Celestia?" >"Yes, Anon?" "I don't mean to pry, but, well, has Greyjoy ever...?" >"Yes?" "Y'know...hypnotized you?" >She sighs before speaking. >"Unfortunately, yes. I have no memories myself of what I did, but Luna was the one to snap me out of it. She's said nothing about what he did, but I trust that they were only simple mind games." >Something tells you that was not the case. "Why doesn't Luna tell you what happened?" >"I'd assume it might be because Greyjoy made her forget. He's gotten her, too." >The Princess sounded a bit too apologetic. >How could she just let that slide? >Before you know it, you've walked several laps with Celestia. >She stops walking and looks at you. >"Anon, could you be my spotter while I do some curls?" "Oh, uh, sure." >The Princess got down and rolled onto her back, before performing curl ups. "So, do you remember how he hypnotized you?" >"You seem to be oddly interested in this, Anon," she says in between curls. >Could she blame you? >You couldn't let Greyjoy get away with mindraping the royal sisters. >Besides, hypnosis may just become your new fetish. Might as well ask. "I know I am, Princess, but could you tell me anyways?" >She pauses her exercises and looks at you. >She sighs. >"I suppose. Although I don't want to talk very much about the first time. It's a bit embarrassing." >You remembered Greyjoy saying touch was the first way he got both of the princesses under. >Maybe you could use the trigger word to get Celestia to tell you what happened? HOURS UNTIL LUNA WAKES UP: 2 >Nah, that'd be invading her privacy. >"I will say that the second time it happened, he used his voice. It was...irresistible at the time. >She shakes her head. >"But since then, I'm on guard whenever I talk to him. The same goes for Luna." >She curls one more time, then lies down. >"Phew, that was good. How many did I do, Anon?" >Shit, you weren't really paying attention. "Uh...40?" >"Oh! A new personal best. Splendid." >She gets up off the ground and faces you. >"Thank you for your time Anon. It was nice, but I have to go fill out some paperwork now. I'll be in my chambers. Feel free to give a call if you run into any trouble." >She made her way back to the castle, leaving you alone. >You checked your watch. >2 hours. >Luna was going down. >Problem was, you weren't sure how. >You could use your time to think of how to hypnotize her, though. >You do have 2 hours, after all. >Well, you used taste on Celestia, it'd be boring to do it on Luna. >Hearing, on the other hand, was a good bet. >Surely she'd be half asleep by the time she talked with you again, right? >The next two hours were painful, as you awaited your encounter. >Even if you got Celestia, facing Luna was still intimidating. >You set yourself near her room, waiting for her to arise. >By the time you had gotten there, an hour had passed. >You entertained yourself for the remaining hour by thinking of what to do to entrance her. >Maybe you could sing to her. >The song "Born Under Punches" was a good one, you could try that. >The last hour passed. >Her door opened. >"You may relieve yourselves of duty," came her voice. >Upon hearing this, the guards left their posts to parts unknown. >Your heart was beating quickly. >You weren't sure you could do this. >She came out of her room after about 20 minutes, ready for the night. >You approached her. >"Anonymous. Just who I wanted to see. So, will you be able to prove your innocence?" "Sure, sure. But uh, let's walk and talk. I'd feel more comfortable doing that." >She scoffs. >"You are delaying the inevitable, but very well." >The two of you walked side by side. >"If you cannot convince me of your innocence by the time we get to the dining room, you will be banished forever." >No pressure at all. >"Let's get moving, Anonymous. You may begin pleading your case." >You start your trip, which will take about 20 minutes total. >You've got enough time. "Alright, but before I do, would you like to hear a song from my homeland?" >She raises an eyebrow. >"You are only wasting your time by doing so. You know this, correct?" "Yep." >"I see. Begin, then." >You've got this. Your singing voice is angelic. "Take a look at these hands. Take a look at these hands. The hand speaks. The hand of a government man. Well I'm a tumbler. Born under punches. I'm so thin." >You remember the rhythm well enough. >She only stares at you as you sing. >It was just the beginning of the song. >She wouldn't go under at the start. "All I want is to breathe. I'm too thin. Won't you breathe with me? Find a little space, so we move in-between. In-between it. And keep one step ahead, of yourself." >As luck would have it, in between your pauses, you pass a room with several practicing musician ponies, all playing an upbeat tune. >You hold her hoof as you sing the next part. "Don't you miss it, don't you miss it. Some 'a you people just about missed it! Last time to make plans! Well I'm a tumbler...I'm a Government Man." >She bobs her head to the beat. >Was this working? >You got a plan as you sang the next part. "Never seen anything like that before. Falling bodies tumble 'cross the floor. Well I'm your master! When you get to where you wanna be. Thank you! Thank you for obeying! When you get to where you wanna be. Don't even mention it!" >Subliminal messages to go along with the music, which continued to ring out. >Genius. "Take a look at these hands. They're the hands of your master. Take a look at these hands! Take a look at these hands. You don't have to mention it. No thanks. I'm in control." >Luna was absorbing your words in sync with the music. "And the heat goes on...And the heat goes on...And your obedience goes on..." >You made sure to make the next parts slow and relaxing. "And the heat goes on...Where the hand has been..." >You direct your hand to your eye, and she follows your hand with her own. "And your sleepiness goes on... >Her eyes fluttered. >She shook her head. >"How am I getting tired again? ...I just awoke..." >Holy shit it's working. "And the heat goes on...And the heat goes on...And your sleepiness goes on...And the heat goes on...And the heat goes on...And your obedience goes on..." >She's trying to stay awake, but can't stop staring at your eyes. >This is going better than expected. "...Where the hand has been...And the heat goes on...And your sleepiness goes on... >Surely the repetition helped. >She was nodding off. >"I...why?" "I'm not a drowning man! And I'm not a burning building! (I'm your master!) Drowning cannot hurt a man! Sleeping cannot hurt a man. (Not you.)" >She couldn't keep her eyes open, and was literally walking with them closed. "All I want is your obedience. Thank you. Thank you for obeying. Won't you listen to me? Find a little space...So we move in-between. I'm so thin. And keep one step behind me. I'm catching up with your mind. >You didn't get to finish the song, as she dropped to the ground, asleep. >Aw, you wanted to get through the whole thing. >No matter, you got what you wanted. >Luna is under your power now. >First and foremost, you had to make her think you were innocent. "Luna, are you listening to my voice?" >"Yes." "Will you listen to my commands?" >"Yes." "Good. Listen to me well. I did not try to rape you earlier. I am completely innocent. That incident is completely wiped from your mind. Instead, you remember it as me bringing you an afternoon snack of cookies. Do you understand?" >"Yes." >Now that that was out of the way, it was time to set a trigger phrase to make her entranced instantly. >And make her do a funny thing or two. "Princess Luna, look at me and hear my voice." >As with Celestia, her eyes open to reveal that same colorful pattern. >"I am listening." "When I say the phrase 'GNU/Linux', you will return to your entranced state. You can only hear this phrase from me. If anyone else says it, you will not hear it. Along with this, you are absolutely fine with me putting you into a trance. I will not abuse this power. You have absolute faith in my word." >You stroke her mane (the non-starry bit, anyways) as you speak. >She only stares at you blankly, just like her sister. "Also, you will feel comfortable with confiding to me. Any odd or embarrassing situation you face, you will seek me for advice." >She nods. >That's it, then. "When I snap my fingers, you will wake up. You will not remember this conversation, but you will remember my suggestions. Am I understood?" >"Yes." >You snap your fingers. >She blinks and shakes her head, her eyes returning to normal. >She notices you. >"Oh, greetings Anonymous. Pray tell, what are we doing standing here?" "GNU/Linux." >She is entranced again. >Just a test. "You will awaken when I snap my fingers." >A snap. >A blink and a shake. "I dunno Luna, I guess we were heading to dinner." >"Wonderful. I am famished. Well, mostly. I'm still tasting those 'cookies' you brought to me. I thank you for them." "Hey, it's my pleasure." >You left for the dining room, but had one more thought on your mind. >Greyjoy was still out there somewhere. >Didn't you want to do something about him? >From now on, you were gonna keep an eye on Greyjoy. >No longer would he try to entrance your princesses. >You also really wanted to know what he did to both Celestia and Luna the first time he hypnotized them. >The suspense killed you. >And at some point, he needed to go. >For now, though, you'll just keep your eyes peeled. >He was a sly one, and you weren't sure what to expect. >You reached the dining room with Luna, where Celestia was waiting for her meal. >She sees the two of you. >"Oh, hello Luna. And Anon." >"Anon?" Luna asked. "GNU/Linux." >The blank stares didn't creep you out at all. "Luna, you will refer to me as either Anonymous or Anon, but mostly Anon. Now back to normal with a snap." >Snap. >Blinks, shakes. >The three of you sit down at the table. >Dinner is served, and you have your fill. "So Celestia, can I stay another night?" >"Of course Anon. Stay as long as you need." >The rest of dinner was filled with small talk yet again. >After dinner, you were led to the same guest bedroom as last night by Celestia. >"Good night, Anon." "G'night Princess." >You took off your clothes, save your undershirt and boxers, and slipped into bed. >You definitely needed to shower tomorrow. >But that was tomorrow. >Right now, you were going to sleep.
