[QUOTE="Graf, post: 3934088, member: 3087"] [b]Beth's Prelude 1[/b] Beth's walking down the street, it's cool for summer. Brisk enough that that she's got your long sweater on. It's a bit too late to be out, but things have been particularly bad at home. She's approaching a corner when one of those cheap rentals, where the name of the car rental company is plastered all over the side, rolls to a stop in front of her. Just stopped on the crosswalk. The guy driving catches your eye, [color=red][i]stop[/i][/color] he says. [sblock=WJ's Command] Beth is compelled to [[url]http://invisiblecastle.com/find.py?id=1418890]remain[/url] in place[/url] (a reasonably obvious interpretation of the word stop. WJ got only one success, but Beth got zero, which is enough for him to enforce his [i]command[/i][/url]. [/sblock] Beth does, reflexively, without thinking about it. The guy is older than she is, but still young, maybe in his 20s. White. Close cropped hair. He's got to be some sort of urban primitive, beads and bones, probably a dozen or more are pierced through different parts of his face. He's holding some sort of hollow tube, like a reed.

[sblock=WJ's Mesmerize] [url=http://invisiblecastle.com/find.py?id=1418998]Beth has some success resisting the WJ's Mesmerize but not enough.[/url][/sblock] "No," Beth hears herself say.
