Message: <blockquote data-quote="Jemal" data-source="post: 5981123" data-attributes="member: 9026"><Swanky Hotel Room - Enoch>It had taken a couple weeks of careful maneuvering, but finally Enoch had managed to make his way into a High Stakes, private poker game.  Initially he had thought to just make a lot of money in the casinos, but had quickly come to the conclusion that he'd be accused of cheating (Which, in fact, he was).  Armed with this insight, the Psychic had gained a bit of fame and money working his way through various poker tournaments, subtly 'convincing' people to help him higher and higher on the 'food chain' until finally he'd landed himself into a high stakes game, with barely enough to cover his entry - But now that he was here, that wouldn't matter, as he would be able to easily win whatever he needed from this roomful.  At the table with him were two corporate executives, a US Senator, a b-list actress, and an Asian woman in a suit who seemed to be nervous.After about an hour of play, Enoch had managed to more than triple his starting pile, but was starting to get a strange headache.  It threw off his concentration a bit, costing him a hand he should have won, before he realized what it was - focusing a bit, he was able to pinpoint that it was another Psychic plying his craft.  Enoch could recognize a mental control like he had been exerting back at the institute being used not a hundred feet from where he sat.<Another Nearby Room - Laura>Laura followed the intriguing man, introducing himself as Chris, several blocks away until they arrived at a room on the 20th floor of a swanky hotel.  By the time they arrived, she was absolutely enthralled by him.  Upon entering the room, she noted several men sitting around the poker table, and a group of scantily clad, defeated looking women sitting nearby. An older, tubby man looked up as Chris and Laura entered. "Ah I see everybody's here with their stakes.  Shall we begin the game now?"Chris nodded and told Laura to sit with the other women until called upon.[ooc]BBs - Congratulations, you've just become a victim of human trafficking!You get another will save right now.  I'll allow you to roll this time.20 or less = Still charmed/enthralled, not realizing anything is wrong and happily obeying.21-25 = Somewhat charmed, but realizing that something's not quite right.  Slightly Confused.26 = Manages to snap out of it and realize what's going on.VR, I assumed you would be trying to be 'subtle' about the way you're 'winning' your money, rather than just try to mentally force people to hand it over or push your luck with a few big plays.Also, While technically your mental perception requires you to actively use it, I took some liberties this time b/c Enoch's never encountered another psychic, and the feedback and unfamiliarity of it caused his 'spider sense' to tingle.[/ooc]</blockquote>
