Pledgeing the Sorority - N.C.U. - Part 3

Rayne sets out to hypnotize Carly, per Trisha’s instructions.

Key: MC, FD, FF,  

    “Hypnotize Carly.”

    Rayne sat and stared at the words written on the note in front of her. She felt a swell of nervousness flush through her body as she eyed the dark haired sophomore out of the corner of her eye. She still wasn’t super comfortable with hypnotizing people she had just met…and to make matters worse, here was Trisha, the head of the sorority she was trying to join, knowingly watching the whole thing. Judging her on her abilities. “No pressure” she thought to herself.

    Rayne took a moment to gain control of her emotions before giving Carly a smile and asking, “So, what do you think of hypnosis?”

    Carly was busy jotting down notes for her report, and didn’t really even look up for more than a second to respond. “Eh, I’ve seen Trisha and Laura demonstrate it several times and I’ve seen a few of the stage shows that they’ve dragged me to, but I really don’t think it’s real. Not the way that they say it is anyway.” Her voice had a certain tone to it, as if she was trying to get a reaction out of Rayne and Trisha, but was trying to pretend to be innocent at the same time.

    Rayne looked up, only to see Trisha roll her eyes all the way back into her head, as if she was trying to look at her own brain. The expression was clearly one of exasperation as Trisha turned to grab a drink out of her fridge.

Pledging the Sorority - N.C.U. - Part 2

Key: MC, FD, FF, Sleep, Chloro

    As the young ladies settled down to discuss Rayne’s education in hypnotism and her accomplishments as a hypnotist, Trisha seemed more and more impressed. “Well…” Trisha started with a smile, “It’s pretty clear to me that you’ve managed to master just about every challenge that Laura has thrown your way so far. But what is it that you feel is your greatest challenge…the one you haven't been able to fully conquer yet?” The question seemed to make Trisha’s eyes light up even as she asked it.

    Rayne instantly knew exactly what the answer to that question was…Klaire. However, she didn’t want to admit to having issues with her own roommate. How would that sound? She could hypnotize several strangers, but couldn’t manage to hypnotize her own roommate who she lives with?  Rayne decided she would have to think up something that sounded intelligent and challenging, yet put her in the best light possible.

    Laura, on the other hand, completely circumvented that thought process by chiming in with an oblivious smile. “Klaire, her roommate. She’s kind of a bitch.”
