Strip club

Your eyes take some time to adjust to the dark setting and dim lights of the New Jersey strip club you had teleported yourself and Heidi into. It's during the day and there aren't many customers, and even fewer strippers working the poles. You've never been here before and you had only chosen this place after searching online for the seediest strip club nearby. You're not surprised it's to be found in New Jersey. Nobody really notices you and Heidi appear out of nowhere as the customers are focused on the dancers. You see a few truckers, a couple of guys in baggy suits, an old man with a walker, and a few other types of men you'd expect to see at a strip club in the middle of the day.

"Where are we?" Heidi asks in a high pitch and you have to shush her to prevent her from creating a scene.

"Somewhere in New Jersey," you tell her, looking around for the manager.

"New Jersey?! How did we get here? What did you do? Is this magic?"

You ignore her as a huge bouncer approaches you 2. Behind him, you see a brown-haired, middle-aged woman who looks like she might have been a dancer too in her prime.

"Jimmy says he didn't see you 2 come in. Did you sneak in here? What's your deal? If you're looking for trouble, Jimmy's going to rough you up and then I'm going to call the police," the woman says. She must be the manager of the strip club.

You activate your mind control ring as you speak to the woman and her bouncer. "It's no trouble. Jimmy wasn't paying attention. Jimmy, you can go back to guarding whatever it is you guard," you say, and the bouncer leaves. Then, you continue, "What's your name? Are you the manager?"

"Darlene. Yes, I am."

"Great. My friend here would like to dance. Why don't you give your dancers and break, and let her entertain your clients? Gather all of them around the main stage and pole."

"Okay," Darlene says, not protesting since she's under your influence. She then heads off to tell her dancers the news.

Heidi is aghast. "What? I'm not dancing here for these men?!?"

"Yes, you are. And you'll do anything I tell you to, while being completely aware of what you're doing this whole time. And you'll answer any questions I have. Is that clear?"

"Yes. Wait, what?!?" Heidi says, confused by her own answer.

"Good. You'll do as I say, even though you don't want to. Now, why don't you get up there and start dancing. You know how to do it, right?"

"Yes, I took some pole dancing lessons, good for exercise. Why am I saying this?! Why can't I control myself?" Heidi exclaims, even as she walks towards the main stage. You grin and go over to the side of the stage and take a seat on the front row while the customers slowly gather around, disappointed that the other dancers have disappeared, but curious about what's going on
