She's intrigued and not horrified. A good start.

Alex seemed distracted for a long moment that seemed to go on forever before she shrugged, "Sure, Why not. Show me this item of pure internet fantasy made real? This some sort of 'universal remote' that works on people? A Master PC disk? Spill man.

John was actually surprised at that, she was referencing some of the erotica he had found online, generally related to mind control. While this really didn't 'control', at least he didn't think it did, it definitely did effect the mind.

John decided to go for broke, "Well, I found this earlier while I was on my way home." He reached over to his bed and grabbed the gun from where he had left it. Alex made sure everything she had was on the desk before approaching with a raised eyebrow.

"I know it's called the 'Bimbo Ray', and I thought it was just a toy, but it has no panel for batteries but still has power, and seems to actually be a hell of a lot more complex than just some old toy ray gun with a sparkler in it." he rambled on, hoping to not seem like a complete perv for showing this to a girl. Even one as un-girly as Alex.

Alex didn't burst out laughing as he feared, and just seemed oddly pensive as she offered a hand to take the gun. Figuring she wasn't going to shoot him with it, he handed it over to her.

She found the instruction manual in it's little compartment, looked the gun over at first and turned the gun from 0 to 3, as she did the gun started humming as it powered on. Not the fake sound effects that can be heard from some toy, but actually hearing things activate and engage. She swiftly cranked it back to 0 with her eyes wide. She then turned the dial up to 1, aimed it at the ceiling and pulled the trigger.

A bright pink blast of energy rather quietly fired out of the gun and into the celling, leaving a small scuff mark where it hit.

The gun actually shooting made Alex flinch and drop the gun with a loud Thunk.

Neither John nor Alex had been expecting that and looked at each other before looking back at the gun.

Hesitantly, John shuffled forward, picked up the gun, and turned the gun back down to 0, before putting it back on the bed.

After a very pregnant pause, Alex shouted "Holy crap!"

John was stunned too, if anything, that confirmed that this gun was definitely not just a toy.

Surprisingly, it was Alex that spoke up next. "Alright, We need to test this thing." At least this way, John didn't have to bring it up.
