Dev tries to use Gaslight on Lucy

Dev decided that while they were alone, this might be a good chance to subjugate Lucy to his powers. To start, he was going to lightly Gaslight Lucy.

"God, it's really hot in here isn't it? I'm going to unbutton my top button here, it just feels hot all of a sudden. Don't you agree?" Dev croaked in his powered-up voice.

Lucy looked confused. "Uhhhh, are you a generally hot feeling person? I know Tom in Accounts is just like that."

Dev replied, slightly desperately, "No, I just think it's really hot. Isn't the AC broken? I think we might all have to sit in the office sweaty today. Its gonna be annoying with all these layers. You know what I mean?" Dev started to stare at Lucy for a response as he undid his top button and loosened his tie, but he wasn't getting what he wanted here.

"No Dev, I think I'm fine. But if you want to take a minute before you come back, that's fine. I don't want to see you be all sweaty and off-putting so hopefully you can fix yourself up." Dev felt frustrated. Not only did his Gaslighting not worked, but his desperation only made him look weird to her. Damn it! This isn't like me! I'm always the cool, calm and collected type, these powers are throwing me off! Dev took a minute to gather himself before returning to his department. He thought it best to focus on work for the rest of the week.

Reputation -30. Lucy ranks higher in the Corporate Ladder and so has higher Resolve. Dev's powers cannot work on her.
