“May I check through the options,” Ken asks, “I’d like to see what the program has to offer”.
“Alright, sure,” Jeff says, getting to his feet to allow Ken to sit on the chair.
Ken sits on the chair and pulls himself close to the laptop, opening the option’s list, “oh, man, now I get it why you have such a hard time to decide,” he says, “every option sounds better than the last!”
“Yeah, it’s pretty frustrating,” Jeff says.
After a while, Ken notices an option that sparks his curiosity, “alteration through words”, it reads, Ken opens the details and begins to read:
“Have you ever desired to have control over anyone and anything,” the message begins, “what if you could alter someone or something by simply through your voice? Using specific words and phrases, you’d be able to not only alter someone’s mind but also alter their appearance. When focusing on an object, for example a stack of papers, and simply say “this stack of papers are now baby diapers”, those papers WILL become diapers. The best part about this option is: you will NOT have to scan someone or something in order to alter them, all you need to do is focus on a target and let your imagination fly free!”
Ken grins inwardly, ‘oh THIS will be fun,’ he thinks to himself, he quickly scans himself, “I think I know what I want to do,” he then says, as he selects the option.
“Oh? What is it,” Jeff asks, curiosity in his voice.
Ken smirks when he feels an immense power seem to awaken inside of him, ‘I feel so powerful, hehe, this will be fun,’ he thinks to himself, before turning around to look at Jeff, “don’t move and don’t talk, unless I say so,” Ken suddenly says.
Jeff’s eyes widen when he feels his body all of a sudden go rigid, the teen tries to open his mouth, but it feels like his mouth is glued shut. The teen looks at his friend with confusion in his eyes.
Ken grins, “relax, Jeff,” he says, “we’re just going to have a little fun, you can trust you old pal Ken”.
Jeff feels his body and mind suddenly relax, why was he so terrified? Ken wouldn’t do him any harm, they were best friends since kindergarten after all.
Ken’s grin widens when he notices Jeff’s body and expression relax, “better, now, I want you to listen closely, Jeff,” he then says, “whenever I say “reset to start”, you will find yourself in exact this position, with your mind and body fully relaxed. You’ll then will find yourself able to talk and move again, but if I add something for you to keep or stay the same, that will not be affected by the reset”.
Jeff feels a shudder run through his body as Ken’s first command takes affect, the teen however stay completely relaxed, ‘well, at least he’ll change me back to normal,’ is all he thinks.
Ken smiles, he then continues, “from now on, whenever I say your name, you will be forced to face me. You’ll also be unable to lie to me, meaning you will answer everything honestly and to the best of your knowledge. When I say “can you remember…” or “can you think of…” you will be forced to do that, as far as you can”.
Jeff feels confused at Ken’s second command, the teen felt a little fear rise in him, if he couldn’t lie, and would have to tell the truth, he could easily embarrass himself, Jeff blushes a little at this thought.
Ken grins when he notices Jeff blush, “don’t worry, Jeff,” he says, “I will not ask anything embarrassing, at least not on purpose. Now, whenever I snap my fingers in front of your eyes, you will forget whatever you were going to say and are unable to do so even if you can think of it. If I clap my hands while you look at me, you will forget whatever word or phrase you were going to say completely, as it never existed in your mind. If I stomp my feet while you look at me, you will forget whatever you were thinking about completely.”
Suddenly Jeff’s relaxing demeanor shifted to a more terrified expression, with that command, Ken could easily erase his memory, he just hopes Ken wouldn’t do it to often, Jeff has a lot of memories he’s pretty fond of.
Ken grins at Jeff’s expression, “an idea of what I could do now, have you Jeff,” he asks, “well, we aren’t finished yet. If I ask you a question or to think or remember something and there is nothing in that place, when I answer the question myself afterwards you will think of that answer as the truth. And every command I made since the reset command isn´t affected by said reset, only the forgotten parts are.”
Now Jeff is even more horrified, before, Ken could only erase his memory, but now… now he could completely rewrite them if he wanted to, and to Jeff it will all seem normal! That could end really bad for him!
Ken smirks, “alright Jeff, you may speak again”.
“K-Ken… pl-please,” Jeff says pleadingly, his voice filled with fear, “pl-please… I don’t want you to mess with my mind!”
Ken simply grins, “Jeff, can you remember what all my commands were since and including the reset trigger?”
Jeff looks at Ken, feeling his mind replaying every single event that took place since the first command, and how he felt about each and every one of them.
Suddenly Ken stomped his foot, erasing Jeff’s memory of every change he had made, when Ken stomps his foot, Jeff suddenly feels a soft wave of warmth spread through his mind, and he suddenly doesn’t remember why he had been so horrified. Ken had just learned about the program and hadn’t done a single change yet.
Seeing Jeff’s facial expression once again relax causes Ken to smile, now the real fun can begin, “the “reset to start” trigger will put you into this mindset again instead of the old one”.
Jeff looks confused at Ken, not knowing the reset command, Ken is satisfied, Jeff would never remember his first commands.
Ken smiles wide, “then let’s begin the real fun,” he says.
