He'd talked with the Scot about Forgetful Mind before, and he could hear the man's thick accent in his ear."You're still a whelp; dunno how a man's mind works. You think dominate's stops at giving instructions. Here's the real truth: when you dominate someone, you are that someone. You make their will you're will. Playing with memories isn easy, but it's the first step in leaving your own body to crawl innna their's. [/sblock]As Biggs finishes his story, Cole's eyes flare a bright red. "AGAIN!" he demands.[sblock=Biggs]Cole's eyes bore into yours. For some reason you think of the dentists office. The unpleasant sensation, the nausea.You're back in the mall, you watch things blow past, remember the battle in the foggy smoke. Then it's over, you haven't won, but you didn't lose either. You're running out of the mall. You don't want to deal with cops now. There's a humming sound. Like static, things start to get hazy. Suddenly everything pixelated and choppy like that crappy <a href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/The_Lawnmower_Man_(1992_film)" target="_blank">Sci-Fi horror movie about computers coming to life</a>.You grit your teeth, try to keep the picture into focus.[/sblock][sblock=Cole]You feel something, a vague itch.The Scot's voice is back, you're at his island retreat, off the coast of malta. An old Italian ghoul has just returned from an unsuccessful mission."No man can change my ghoul's mind. I'll feel it the second I look inna his eyes. It's like they got burs unna their skin. I can dig em out though!"The Scot makes a clawing gesture with his figures and turns back toward the ghoul.[/sblock][sblock=OOC]Normally this would be impossible, but for a variety of reasons, including general coolness, I'll allow one attempt. Both Biggs and Cole spend a Willpower. Bigg's LOWERS his resistence (instead of adding to it). Cole's gives him the ability to use the discipline at -5.Forgetful Mind pool (7dice) - (2-2) +2 (special factor) - 5 (doesn't know the discipline) 4d = <a href="http://invisiblecastle.com/roller/view/1467831/" target="_blank">one success</a>.[sblock=Ironically]Cole's Forgetful Mind Pool is much larger than his Mesmerize pool.[/sblock][/sblock]In the chair Biggs eyes are unfocused. Abruptly he stands up, like a zombie. He makes little marching motions, stamping his feet in place like he's miming walking.[sblock=Biggs]You've slipped under the walkway and your following your planned exit route. When the City was built the founders imagined a modern Venice in the American west, building canals all over the metropolis.In the years since they were turned into sewers, the smell is terrible.You're passing under the second bridge, after the stair, when you hear a scuttling sound above you. something's on the underside of the bridge... you have time to think before you hear a staticy voiceIktan Belova, it chants[/sblock]Biggs stops his little walking movements and he looks upward.[sblock=Biggs]It's on top of you, fast. Hauling you down, you can feel a stabbing pain in your neck. It's got you on the ground, claws digging into your shoulder, you feel your limbs weakening.[/sblock]Biggs suddenly throws himself backward, arms back like he's trying to grab onto something on his back. The chair clattering off and away. He thrashes on the ground wrestling with something only he can see.[sblock=Biggs]There's more going on, but the pixelation becomes overwhelming. You can't make out anything, can't see anything.<<the record skips>>You're coming into your hole-in-the-wall motel room; everything is spinning.[/sblock]Abruptly Biggs stops thrashing on the floor. Nice, on his feet now, looks more than a little bit uncomfortable "That's... new. You do know forgetful mind right?"</blockquote>
