Silvanus Maestro(OC) a traveling hypnotist

Things hadn't been going super well for Silvanus recently.

He had been out of school for only a few months, and instead of picking up a trade, entering a white collar career, joining the Atlas military, or even becoming a Huntsman, he decided to put his semblance and fetish to work and become a stage hypnotist.

Now, all in all this was a great idea. His Semblance - Cognitive Enhancement - enabled him to embue items with powers based on what people generally think about them. So for example, he could make a cheetah move at supersonic speeds because that's the general perception. He could make a gun have unlimited ammunition because media has given that perception. And in the case of his hypnosis - he can make a pocket watch naturally hypnotic, able to put people into a trance in a mere instant.

The problem was... He wasn't pulling audiences. He had been traveling around the globe using his power on various owners of venues to get them to agree to let him perform, but he couldn't exactly go around hypnotizing dozens and dozens of people into attending his shows.

So there he sat, his head in his hands in a park, trying to piece together what exactly it was that he was going to do. What was his show missing?

As he looked around, it became obvious. Volunteers. Or more accurately, an assistent. Obviously nobody was going to come see a show where they were a potential hypnosis candidate unless they really wanted that. No they want to see OTHER PEOPLE get hypnotized, and then maybe peer pressured into getting zonked themselves. So what did he need? An assistent to draw in the crowds.

Thankfully, there were plenty of people - and especially beautiful women - who may play that role for him. So he began looking around the park for a woman - or women - to approach.
