"Ok, lets see if this actually works" Nicola snickered "James, take off all your clothes!"
"Hey, what are you doing?" James protested as he began unbuttoning his shirt.
"Shush, no talking unless I say so slave!" Nicola instructed in a jovial tone, still not sure this wasn't a prank James was playing along with "Oh wow, he's actually doing this!"
Nicola looked on in gleeful astonishment as her friend threw off his shirt and undid his belt, continuing to undress in the middle of the shop where anyone could walk in and where he could be clearly seen through the window into the street. No way was he doing this of his own volition. Nicola quickly grabbed her phone and began filming just in time to catch James removing his underwear. He was now stood perfectly still and fully naked in front of Nicola, completely at her command.
Nicola spent a while running her camera up and down James's naked body for posterity, slapping him playfully on the bum and giving his balls a quick tickle as she did so. He didn't flinch.
"Oh, you're going to have to buy me so many drinks not to share this footage with everyone at work" Nicola grinned cruely.
Meredith at her product tester pleasantly. For the purposes of this little experiment she had definitely chosen the right person.
Meanwhile, Nicola stood back and examined her friend turned fully submissive victim for a while, her camera trained fully on him, as she pondered his next move.
"Hmm, now what to do with you next James?" She teased as she pointed the remote "Ok, how about you jump around like a monkey for a while?"
Powerless to resist, James made a screeching sound and fell into a hunched position.
"Ook, ook, ah!" The naked young man exclaimed as he began bouncing energetically around the shop.
"This is amazing!" Nicola exclaimed with laughter as she followed James, training her phone camera on him as he squatted naked on the chair behind Meredith's counter, continuing to make a collection of embarassingly loud monkey noises. People passing by were looking through the window at him, drawn by the commotion which could now be heard outside, and regarding James with a mixture of embarassment and curiosity. A group of giggling teenage girls had gathered by the window to watch the whole show. That only seemed to spur Nicola on further.
"Ok, enough of that for now" she decided "I want you to act like my pet dog for a while"
James obediently jumped off the chair and fell onto all fours at Nicola's feet.
"Ruff! Ruff! Ruff!" He barked excitedly, his tongue hanging out as he looked up adoringly at his master.
"You do realise this is too good for me not to share with everyone at work once we're done here?" Nicola told James "I'll probably put it on Youtube too"
"Ruff!" James barked up happily at his owner "Ruff! Ruff!"
Meredith mischievously handed Nicola a tennis ball. Smiling back oblingly and nodding, Nicola opened the shoo door and threw it across the street "Fetch, James!"
Not needing to be told twice, the naked young man scampered out into the semi busy street past a series of amused and bemused onlookers, retrieved the ball from next to the bin where it had ended up with his teeth and scurried back into the shop, where he dropped it at Nicola's feet.
"What a good boy you are James!" Nicola stroked her temporary pets hair as he panted happily "Now what shall I make you do next for our soon to be viewing this audience?"
"You know, as fun as the mind control function is, you can do so much more to him" Meredith intervened, sensing in Nicola now someone who wouldn't be restrained by morals or loyalty "You can turn your friend into anything you want"
Nicola looked down at James as if he were a blank canvas. She was beginning to take Meredith at her word. So what was she going to do to her helpless friend next?
