Lito added something special.

"Wonderful!" Lito's eyes lit up as he stepped back inside.

"It looks good on me then?" she asked.

"It's striking, m'lady. Perhaps too much! When out on the road, you might become so beloved that I won't even get attention myself."

She laughed, and couldn't help but bask in the compliment. "You might be right."

"Ah!" the charming asuran exclaimed. "I forgot the last piece of the outfit. What's a pretty getup without at least one accessory?"

From his pocket, he withdrew an intricately crafted, unlatched bracelet. It was silver, and was covered in a complex pattern of lines and tiny cyan gems. It was not like anything she had seen before, but when he offered it over, she scooped it up. Clearly it was something an asura would make, and the gems were lovely.

"So I just put this on my wrist, right? It's a bracelet?"

"Indeed it is! Either side will do."

She nodded, and wrapped it around her right arm and clicked the latch closed. It snapped, and felt as if it wouldn't come off as easily as it went on. As she did this, the gems blinked faintly, and she smiled at the idea. "It lights up? Flashy!"

"A little bit, yes!" This girl is way too easily impressed by anything to do with her own vanity, he thought.

While she was looking it over, he withdrew a metallic brick from his golem's backpack. It had a similar appearance of intricate patterns and gems, and has what looked like a short funnel sticking forward from the bottom. It was definitely something only an asura would understand at first glance. He spoke into the opening, and the gems lit up.

"Activate Sleep Mode."

The command was recognized. Alora went from excited and full of energy, to silent and still. She stood staring like a robot at the wall across the room.

"Good. Voice detection was a success. It recognized me. The sleep command was also a success," he began speaking seemingly to nobody, but his golem was recording the audio of his notes.

"Activate Command Mode," he said, and she looked down at him immediately. "Good. That works as well. But now it's time for the real test. The major feature. Here we go. Are you listening to me, Alora?"

"Yes," she replied.

"Good. The device has successfully put her into a state of suggestion, like a much more advanced hypnosis. Listen to me now then, Alora. The first command you must remember is the word Hot, or any variation of the word. When you hear this word, you must remove one article of clothing. Pairs of clothing count as one, such as for shoes, socks, etcetera. Do you understand?"

"Yes."

"I believe the first command should work, but I'll enter a few more before we test it. All right. Here's the next command you must remember, Alora. When you hear the word Cold, or any variation, you must put on an article of clothing, though only if it's not currently being worn, and within ten feet of you. Otherwise, nothing happens. Do you understand?"

"Yes."

"Excellent. Let's enter a few more. There should be room for a dozen, but let's not overdo it. Here's your next command. Remember that anytime you hear the word Relax, or any variation, you will believe your situation relative to clothing is fine no matter what. Even if you're completely nude, you'll believe you're clothed enough and feel fine. Do you understand?"

"Yes."

"Wonderful. Two more for now. Next is the command word Cover, and variations of such. Unlike the previous command, this one will make you fully aware of your state of garb. No longer will you believe yourself clothed enough when you aren't. Basically, you return to normal, relative to how you feel involving your outfit. Do you understand?"

"Yes."

"Finally, let's add an open-ended one just in case. I wouldn't want to put you into this state of suggestion in front of other people. So, if you hear the word Listen or any variation, followed by a request or command, you must do it. Do you understand?"

"Yes."

"Ah heck. Let's do one more just for fun. A special one. When you hear the word Cucumber, you will become aroused, and you will remain at that state for the rest of the day. Each time you hear the word, that feeling will build until you reach an orgasm. Do you understand?"

"Yes."

"That's everything then. Here goes nothing. The first true test on a real, unsuspecting subject. Deactivate Command Mode. Deactivate Sleep Mode."

Like nothing happened, Alora returned to eyeing over her new bracelet. To her, no time had passed. She felt a bit dizzy for a moment, but shook it off, and returned her gaze to him. "Hey, what's that thing you're holding?"

"This? It's just one of the many things I'll be peddling. Maybe. Some devices I have are my own, or under construction. Pay no mind to that. Just Relax."

That was one of her command words, though it didn't seem to do anything yet.

"Aren't you kind of Hot?" he asked.

"A little bit," she replied, and began unbuttoning the fancy coat until her firmly-held, jiggling breasts were nearly exposed within her tight, revealing undershirt, which of course was cut low. Though she was explaining about that article of clothing before, she tossed the coat aside with no care to cover up her cleavage.

The asura's eyes widened and he smiled wide. It works!

"So are we going yet?" she asked, oblivious.

"Yes. Of course. Just make sure you have everything. It might actually be Colder outside."

Without thinking of how strange it was, she picked back up her coat, slid it on, and buttoned it up.

I'm going to make so much money from this, he thought.
