As Jaune ushered Blake into the room after picking up the dropped books. He watched carefully as she slowly shuffled in, her eyes were still wide open yet glazed and unfocused, she wore the same blank expression, and her walk was wobbly and stiff as if she was being pulled and pushed forward by an unseen force.…
Remembering to pick up the book and close and lock the door making sure no one would randomly walk in, Jaune finally took a sigh of relief, as he finally moved Blake in the center of the room.
He circled around to the front of Blake to look at her, her eyes still glazed over and her stance still stiff and rigid. He moved his hand in front of her face and waved it, Blake showed no reaction
“Oh man this is great!”, Jaune said to himself.
Not only had the subliminal messages worked, but the trigger work well too! Since it had been a week the subliminal messages should be pretty strong…strong enough for a suggestion at least….ok maybe not strong enough at all
“Blake…c-can you hear me?”, he said timidly
“……yeah…..,” Blake said quietly, her usually sharp amber eyes still cloudy and unfocused, though not open as wide as before her stance still awkward looking
He remember reading somewhere that saying the trigger words multiple times could strengthen the trance…called fractionation or something…but she would have to be awake for that….
“Ok Blake anytime I say the words wake up, you will come out of trance, nod if you understand,” he said nervously getting ready to do this, wishing he would have picked a single word for the trigger instead of cat nap…
Blake gave an empty nod, giving the signal to start the fractionation process….
“Wake up,” he said hastily, quickly scanning Blake’s face for any changes
The light in Blake’s eyes slowly returned, she blinked them a couple of times, barely taking in her soundings and spotting Jaune
“Wha-,” she quietly uttered moving the hair out of her face before he quickly said her trigger words Cat Nap.
Her response to the words was a slight flinch at the speed and tone in which he said them, before limply dropping her arm down to her side, and moving her head down slightly towards her chest as the trigger took affect
Jaune repeated this process of waking Blake up, giving her too little amount of time to even realize what was going on before sending her back into trance until Blake’s stance went from the rigid and stiff board she was when she entered the room, to a much more relaxed pose, her head looking down, her knees slightly bent and her arms hanging limply at her sides.
Jaune took a breathe of relief and slight pride. He not only had successfully made her enter a hypnotic trance, albeit after a week of him not actually doing anything but praying Blake would not notice a speaker under her pillows, but also deepened it….deepened enough to where he felt comfortable to give her his first true hypnotic suggestion.
He figure keeping in line with the trigger word theme of animals could possibly give it a higher chance of working and a simple animal suggestion to her would be perfect considering….she was a Faunus
“Listen very carefully Blake…I want you to picture a cute cat, the way that would cat move, would sound, act everything….do that for me now,” Jaune said to her
Blake responded with a tiny nod, prompting Jaune to gently hold her shoulder for the next part
“Now Blake, I want you to become that cat in your head, do that for me now and when it’s done nod do you understand me-,” he had barely said the sentence before Blake responded with a nod
“Oh well ummm…ok,” he cleared his throat ,”becoming that cat now, eyes open!,” he said tapping her shoulder
Blake’s eye opened up and stared directly into Jaune’s eyes, sending him into a small panic where he imagined every possible scenario where he could have gone wrong, until she slowly got on her knees…then her hands and looked back up at him from the floor….
“Uhhhhh….Blake?”, he asked tentatively
“……meow,” she said in response in the most deadpan way you could possibly say “meow” before exploring around the room on all fours
Jaune watched with his mouth agape, I mean sure he took every step he thought he had to and yeah his actions did lead to where he wanted to and her reactions to the trigger and fractionation were textbook but this…even he was surprised. Seeing the cool and cold Blake whom he only ever shared a couple sentences with, crawling around on all fours in her white crop top and vest, in her tight white spandex shorts, full stockings with a color gradation of black to purple at her ankles and heel boots with no shame….getting onto his bed all slow like, really showing off her frame… doing a cat like stretch….it was definitely rewarding waiting a week before doing this.
As if to make herself feel more like it cat, she brought her hand to her head and swatted the bow out of her hair, letting loose her hidden cat Fanus ears, making it seem all the more real
Finally seeming to gain consciousness himself, Jaune finally decided he was going to try and interact with cat Blake
“Here kitty kitty kitty, come here,” he said clicking his teeth, “pspspsps here here.”
Blake responded by giving him a blank stare and looking away, content with kneading biscuits on his bed
“….Aight that makes sense,” Jaune says to himself remembering past experiences with cats, realizing he was gonna need something to bribe her with, started searching the room.
He eventually ended up finding a golden beaded necklace, probably Pyrrha’s
“Here kitty cat Blake,” he said jingling the necklace and ,unlike last time, got her attention and kept it
She slowly made her way off his bed and slowly to where Jaune jingling the necklace, like stalking her prey. All of a sudden she charged forward with swipe as Jaune moved the necklace out of the way. She restored to sitting on her knees and swiping at it as he kept putting in range and out of rang of her swipes. All the while Jaune had the biggest smile on his face, seeing her acting like a true cat
“How about this,” he said as he put it was above his head, “whacha gonna do about tha-,” he was teasingly saying before cat Blake responded by crawling up to him, grabbing his torso and ever slightly picking herself off the ground. Leaving Jaune looking down seeing Blake at hip level and ,even though she was looking at the necklace in his hand, he could have sworn she looked directly into his eyes….with those beautiful amber eyes from where she was, giving him all types of emotions
In this daze he accidentally dropped the necklace, prompting cat Blake to pick it up and play with it, rolling onto her back, her knees in the air, her hands in the air holding the necklace between her hands
Seeing this in conjecture with what he saw before prompted Jaune too….
