"Now," says Michael, "you need to start out slowly. Instead of manipulating emotions and desires, start off with simple things like minor urges."
"Like scratching or stretching?"
"Exactly! Let's head to that bookstore coffee shop and try some more. Remember, detatch your urges from your target's."

You walk across the street to a quaint used and antique book store that has a coffee shop inside. Other than the three employees, there's only a young couple at one table and a woman sitting by herself at another. You and Michael both get cups of coffee and have a seat. You smile at each other as you know who the target is going to be.

The woman appears to be in her late twenties or early thirties. She has medium-length reddish blonde hair with highlights parted and swept back over one ear. She has a long nose and high cheekbones. She's wearing very little make-up and is pretty in a girl-next-door kind of way. She's wearing khaki pants and a loose fitting t-shirt. Being seated and in those clothes, it's hard to tell exactly how shapely she is, but you can tell she's not too skinny or too fat. She's reading a copy of "Bridget Jones Diary" while sipping on a cappucino.

"OK," says Michael. "Take it slow. Remember what I told you. Try to give her the sensation her nose itches."

You try to clear your mind and not think about how pretty she is. You enter her mind and concentrate. Soon she reaches up and rubs the tip of her nose without taking her eyes off of her book.

"Very good," says Michael, "Now try a different body part, but NOT that one!" He says with a smirk.
You concentrate again and notice the woman rotate her shoulder a bit. She then rubs her arm against her side.

"I made her armpit itch!" you whisper excitedly. You know you have to slow down as your power is turning you on.

"Very good. Now you can't just jump in and make her a sex **** or anything. First you have to manipulate what she is focusing on." That's an idea to focus on yourself, as it might help in keeping your dirty mind off sex. There's no need to repeat the fiasco in the park just twenty minutes before.

"OK," says Michael, "probe her mind. Insert the word 'boyfriend,' then scan her thoughts. People don't think in linear form-- our thoughts jump around-- so try to capture thoughts about 'boyfriend.' "

You concentrate on the woman and think "boyfriend." You hear her thoughts: "Greg, date, jerk, pervert, over, lonely, third-wheel, etc." It's obvious she got out of a bad relationship, but misses being in one. You quietly relay your info to Michael via telepathy.

He is now speaking to you in your mind. "Good, now try to insert this thought: 'Cute guy at table nearby. He's sexy. Flirt.' Repeat it a few times."

You do as instructed and soon the woman looks up at you and smiles coyly. She brushes a loose hair behind her ear and smiles again before looking back at her book.

The lesson goes on. You keep sending the thought "flirt!" to her mind until she finally gets up and comes over to you. She asks for the time even though she's wearing a watch, and makes up the excuse that she's not sure hers is working. You tell her the time, and she compliments you on your watch, which is nothing fancy. You continue to slip words and phrases into her mind, "Flirt! Sexy! Lonely! Great guy! Flirt!"

Finally, you ask her to join you and Michael. You find out her name is Briana Maybry, and she's a graduate student majoring in English. After some small talk, and your continued mental bombardment, she gives you her number and tells you to call her before leaving to get back to her studies.

Michael congratulates you on your success. "You're a quick learn, my boy! Well done!"

The feeling of accomplishment-- and power-- is tremendous. Life as you know it is about to change. Hell, it already has changed. You're a "pusher" now! But first you need to do something about this headache...

Michael laughs at you, as he often does. "Yah, it'll catch up to you. We can stop and continue tomorrow, unless you think you can handle more. I recommend the break, though. Practice like this won't help you if it's splitting your skull open everytime."
