“Raven”, the goth girl

A girl suddenly appears in the center of the stage. She seemed dazed, which made sense to Alex considering the way he was brought here. The girl was wearing all black clothing, had raven black hair, and had piercing blue eyes. It took Alex a few moments, more than he’d like to admit, but he realized who this girl was.

“Hey, wait I know that girl she was in my high!” Alex said surprised that one of the contestants was someone he had met before. Then Noelle let out gasp. “Really!?! What are the chances?” She said pretending to be surprised as well.

The goth girl still feeling a little woozy, eventually noticed that her surroundings have changed from what they were. “What the fuck! What is this place?” She asked sounding confused but mostly pissed. “This is the Harem Hotel! Welcome contestant number 1!” Noelle responded immediately. “What the hell do you mean contestant? Also I have a name you know, it’s Raven.” Raven snapped towards Noelle. “Yeah, sure, whatever. Mind telling the audience who you are and what your connection is with that gentleman there?” Noelle asked ignoring Raven’s comments.

“Actually I do mind! I am not obligated to share anything about myself that I don’t want to!” Raven said practically yelling at this point. “Why do they always have to be so difficult?” Noelle said before pulling a pocket watch from her cleavage. She then swung the pocket watch in front of the goth girl’s face. She just swung it back and forth. Raven at first tried to push it away, but that just caused it to swing more. Very quickly she just started to stare blankly at the watch with blank eyes.

Noelle started smiling at the entranced girl. “Hey there sweetie, how are you feeling?” She said to the dazed goth. “Goooooooood.” Was all the goth said. “That’s good. Feel like answering my questions now?” Noelle asked her. Raven nodded drowsily as she proceeded to answer. “Uh-huh. My name is Raven, but my actual name is Rachel Roth. I am 19 years old. I am known as the hot goth girl at school, so people either give me unwanted attention or avoid me altogether. I have a couple of friends, but that’s it. I am still a virgin. I sorta recognize the Master as the weird socially awkward kid who keeps sneaking looks at me.” The girl said in a robotic monotone voice.

Alex didn’t know how to feel at that moment. He didn’t know whether to be afraid of that girl being hypnotized within an instant, or if he should feel embarrassed at the fact that the girl had such a poor image of him in her head, or if he should laugh at the fact that the goth girl has both names of the alter egos of the comic hero Raven from Teen Titans. He felt many emotions all at once, but all he did was freeze up and stare at the scene unfolding in front of him.

“Now wake up, sweetheart.” Noelle commanded the hypnotized girl. Raven wakes up, and takes a few moments to shake off the haziness in her brain. The second she felt normal she was both horrified and furious. “WHAT THE FUCK DID YOU JUST DO TO ME!!!” This time she was actually yelling, at the top of her lungs at that. “Maybe I should have commanded her to forget her experience under trance. Well, I guess that’s my bad. I’ll fix that right now.” Noelle said before snapping her fingers in front of the other girl’s face, dropping her back into trance. “You will forget everything that happened after I hypnotized you. Instead you will remember calming down and accepting that you are now a contestant on the show.” After Noelle gave this suggestion Raven calmed down and sat on the chair and waited for the next contestant.

“This all seems pretty unethical, and also I’m fairly sure hypnosis doesn’t work in the way you just used it!” Alex said very concerned at this point. “If you’re a great enough hypnotist it does, which is the case for me. Also for some stuff like snapping her into trance despite never giving her the command, I use magic in addition to my hypnosis. Don’t worry though I am very skilled in both categories. Also everything will be fine just try to calm down and stop working.” Alex listened to the woman, but still felt very on edge. “Next up is contestant number 2!”
