Stevie was just a normal college kid who just got lucky one day after finding a Lillith fruit. Frankly, he had never expected to ever come into possession of one so when one day he was eating an apple and suddenly found knowledge of how to use some new powers, he was quite frankly surprised.
He knew that Lillith fruits could come in any type of fruit, there's even been a case of someone gaining powers from eating a cucumber of all things (yes, they are a bloody fruit) and then gaining extra appendages in the form of penis like tentacles. The government has been trying to put in place contingency plans to deal with any individuals who use their new found power to potentially cause major issues or problems. Currently no one has attempted to use their powers to over throw the government as they mostly have been using them for sex.
In Stevie's mind, he hasn't actually tried to use his powers yet, so he came to a local coffee shop to test out his powers from an observation stand point. Choosing to sit in a more out of the way spot within the coffee shop, he ordered a rather large latte and began to pick his test subjects.
His first test subject was a decently well presented man in a suit and tie, eating a sandwich. Stevie wanted to test if he could influence the actions of people so he decided to influence the man's mind to move the plate with the sandwich to the other side of the table, then bring it back to him.
Without any question whatsoever, the man did exactly as Stevie wanted him to without any fault. After the man did it though, he just seemed a bit confused with himself before ultimately going back to looking at his phone.
Test 1: a success.
As for Stevie's second test, it was to see if he could influence the emotions of an individual. Looking around, he happen to see a rather angry looking couple arguing on another table just a little ways away from his. Choosing these two as his next target, he wanted to see if he could make them go from anger to love.
Trying to visualise the change in emotions, he did what he thought would work and observed the results. What he ended up observing was the two going from being incredibly angry, to practically kissing and groping each other in public, before ultimately getting kicked out the coffee shop for indecent behaviour.
Test 2: a somewhat success
Perhaps he may have made them more Lusty in the process of making them more in love. Regardless, it proved something.
As for Stevie's final test, he wanted to get a girlfriend from the hottest person he could find. He would effectively do this by peeking into the girls memories, learning about her and then re-writing these memories so that she thinks that she is dating Stevie.
Looking around at the potential girls in the shop, he decided to pick the hot, blonde barista behind the counter, who looked about a year older then him. Trying to peer into her mind, he managed to get a visual on her mind and memories. Learning her name was Elizabeth Taylor, or Lizzy Tay as she likes to go by more often, Stevie managed to learn a lot about her through this visualisation trip.
After learning enough about her, he planted fake memories within her. These ranged from false memories of seeing Stevie come into the coffee shop most days and forming a crush on him. Other fake memories included asking him out on her break and getting his phone number, which was in fact planted into her memories via Stevie's influence. Ultimately done with getting the Barista to think she was dating him, he tried to see any noticeable changes to her demeanour which weren't obvious but when their eyes met, she gave a playful wink to Stevie. This wasn't enough to confirm anything though, but it was a good enough sign it might have worked.
Deciding to wait around the coffee shop, Stevie wanted to see if when Lizzy's break came around, she would see him as her boyfriend.
