Some Tests First

(No sex in this chapter, but some homosexual undertones.)

"Hold on," you say to Todd. "I don't want to use this thing out in the world before we know what we're doing."

Todd frowns. "Good point. I don't want my dick getting permanently disconnected from my body."

"Right. So, let's see what this baby can really do."

"Okay, so, what should we test first?"

You think for a moment. "How about we test how far we can make it go?"

You head for the window and, after a moment, you stick your hand through the MCR. You look across the backyard at the far fence. You concentrate and you see your hand appear on the fence.

Todd looks around the yard. "Did it work? I can't see it."

"Oh, uh. Right." You concentrate and Todd gasps.

"Oh yeah, it worked. Can it go farther?"

You think for a moment. Being on the second floor of your house, you have a bit of a view. You look into the neighbors yard and concentrate, sending your hand to a further fence. It works.

"This is one of the coolest things, man," Todd says. He leafs through the manual for a moment. "Okay. Says here that it will work on a broadcast but only if it's live. Wanna try it? Maybe we can go to one of those Random Chat websites."

You take off the MCR and pass it to him. "Be my guest. I'm not risking my hand ending up in some rando's house."

Todd rolls his eyes. "Wuss. Fine, I'll try it."

Todd goes over and fires up your computer. After a while, he ends up on the site he wanted. The first person he runs into is a random chick. The girl tries to chat for a moment, and Todd mostly ignores her. He hesitates and, after a moment, sticks a few fingers into the MCR. Both of you watch as his fingers appear on the girl's chair.

"Woah!" Todd says.

"Okay, I guess it works. Let's get out of there before we see a dick."

Todd nods, brings his fingers back out, and closes the browser.

"Alright," he says. "We know it's got range. We know it can go over broadcasts. What else is it supposed to do?"

You look through the manual for a second. "Says here it's supposed to plant suggestions. Kinda like a form of mind control."

"Okay, we totally need to test that out."

"Gimme, then. It's my turn."

Todd goes to give you the MCR, but stops, then pulls it back. "Wait. How do I know you're not just going to make me humiliate myself?"

You snatch the MCR away from him. "You'll just have to trust me."

You look at the MCR and think. What should you make him do?
