Razzle Dazzle(closed)

[Aussie_Wolf]

Jason winked back at her. "Fat lot of good that would do me. I would want a lot more than three minutes with you if I did get you naked you know." He was trying to match her boldness but he probably ruined it by blushing a bright red.

He sat back in the chair and started to speak to her in the same sing song voice he had used before, urging her to relax and let herself go. Once he saw her start to breathe deeply and get to a stage where she was almost there he activated a power that allowed him to compel another person with his voice and kept up the same chant, trying to put her into a hypnotic trance. He hoped it worked this time.

"You are getting very sleepy,and at the count of three you will be fast asleep but still able to answer all my questions easily. 1,2,3."

For a moment, Lisa actually entertained the very wicked thought of letting her dazzles strip her down to her underwear right in front of Jason, just for the pleasure of watching his jaw drop. But Jason was trying to help her, so she decided to postpone any further teasing of him for the moment.

Besides, this technique didn't look as if were going to work anyway. Counting to three wasn't going to put her to sleep. She suppressed a grin as she thought to herself, I will commence teasing Jason on the count of one, two, thr---

And Lisa was fast asleep.

 

[Aussie_Wolf]

Jason breathed a sigh of relief as he saw that it had worked. He had not been too sure there for a second, but here long deep breaths assured him that she was indeed out. Now he just had to make sure she was in a susceptible state. He thought of all the wicked things he could get her to do and even entertained doing a few of them, then shook his head and fell back on the tried and true boring ones.

He got her to raise her right arm, then her left, then both legs, then just in case she was faking he got her to transport her favorite stuffed toy in thinking she would never do that. When he saw what it was he giggled a little and had her transport it straight back and had her forget she had ever done that.

Right she was definitely under then. So now to try to contact the jewel. "Okay Lisa I want you to try to look inside of yourself and see if you can find something that feels a little different from you. Search for it with your mind and see if you can talk to it. Can you try to do that for me?"

 

[GypsyGirl84]

"I...I see it," Lisa answered, her voice higher pitched and more uncertain than normal. "It's...it's kind of dark, where it is."

 

[Aussie_Wolf]

"That's good," he encouraged her and tried to calm her down at the same time. "I want you to try to communicate with it and find out exactly why it is here and what it wants. See if we ah I mean you can help it in any way."

 

[GypsyGirl84]

"I --- I don't think it wants something. Or it's---it's waiting for something. Or looking for ---"

Lisa's head snapped back, so that her eyes would have been looking at the ceiling, if her eyes had been open. Then her head fell straight forward, so that her chin rested on her chest.

Lisa's dazzle field sprang to life, as bright sparks flew all around her. They coalesced into a humanoid form that superimposed itself over Lisa's form.

A thousand tiny voices asked in chorus, "Who are you?"

 

[Aussie_Wolf]

Okay this was a bit freaky but he could roll with this, after all he was getting his wish to talk to the jewel inside of Lisa.

"My name is Jason, but most people know me as Recall, the same way most beings know your host as Dazzle.I am happy to meet you. What should I call you?"

 

[GypsyGirl84]

"We are <unintelligible>. I am <unintelligible>," the entity responded, then remained silent.

 

[Aussie_Wolf]

Okay that was going to make this hard. He should have realized. He was dealing with an alien entity so obviously their name was not going to be something he was going to be able to pronounce.

"I am sorry but I can't pronounce that. Do you have a name I can call you. Perhaps something the priestess called you. Also why are you here? What are you searching for? If we knew exactly what it is, perhaps we could help you in your search and make it a lot quicker."

 

[GypsyGirl84]

"We are <unintelligible>. I am <unintelligible>. I am not spoken to. I am spoken through. We are here because we are here. We do not seek. We watch. When it is seen, I will act. We are <unintelligible>. I am <unintelligible>." Again, the tiny chorus of voices became silent.

 

[Aussie_Wolf]

Right that made things a whole lot clearer, thought Jason. Still maybe it did a little. That bit about not being spoken to but through, seemed to suggest that the jewel was a communication device of some kind. Maybe whatever alien race was using it was actually observing the human race through it and actually only spoke through the device. That was it's way of saying the Jewel was not a living being just something like a probe.

"So you don't know what it is you need to see? Okay fine. Is there any way your host can control the field she is surrounded with. You know maybe turn it on and off at her command so other beings may touch her?"

 

[GypsyGirl84]

"She is not to be touched," the chorus of tiny voices immediately responded. "HE has chosen her. The Champion will show a sign. The Champion will fight the Tester. The Champion will escort her to HIM. The Champion will fight HIM. The Champion will die. HE will have her. It was to be this way. The Old Champion fled. The New Champion will be found. HE waits for her."

 

[Aussie_Wolf]

Oh great. This was worse than he feared. It sounded like some sort of Virgin sacrifice thing. Well damned if he was going to let that happen to her on his watch.

" Okay now you listen to me. I don't know who He is and frankly I don't care, but if you think I am going to just sit here and wait for you to find somebody to take my friend here to Him so she can be sacrificed to him or something you have another thing coming. I will never allow anyone to harm her, you got that. No one is going to get near her as long as I'm around and believe me I am a bloody stubborn asshole so you will not get rid of me that easily. Do we understand each other? So you better tell me who this He is so I can go and kick his butt and save my friend."

 

[GypsyGirl84]

The chorus of tiny voices sounded indifferent to the threat. "The New Champion will come. The New Champion will fight the Tester. The New Champion will become the Tester to defeat the Tester. I will aid the Tester. We can do this. The Tester will not know my touch. The New Champion will defeat the Tester. We will show the New Champion the way to HIM. The New Champion will fight HIM. HE will defeat the New Champion. HE will have HIS Chosen One. I am <unintelligible>. We are <unintelligible>." The form composed of the dazzles disappeared. Lisa's head popped up and her eyes looked glazed. She shook her head, looked around and asked, "So what happened?"

 

[Aussie_Wolf]

Jason looked at her and for a second considered lying to her, then decided she deserved the truth. The fact that he couldn't lie worth a damn and always got caught didn't factor into it of course.

"Well the Jewel and I had a little conversation and I think I learned a few things," he told her. "One I don't think the Jewel is actually a sentient being. I think it is some sort of device that is transmitting data back to an alien home planet, so there is that," he grinned at her trying to lighten the mood.

"The other thing is that whoever they are, oh and yes it is a they, they are trying to keep you pure so that they can deliver you to someone they call Him. Of course before that happens a lot of complicated stuff has to occur. First a Champion has to appear. then that champion has to fight the tester. Then it becomes very complicated again but basically he must win to then advance to fight Him. Of course they expect him to loose and claim His prize. Unfortunately that prize is you," he told her sadly.

He let what he had told her sink in for a little while then stared into her eyes. He went to grab her hands and then smirked as he remembered. "Look Lisa I told them and now I am telling you. I don't care what their plans are, I will not let anyone hurt you. Hey what sort of hero would I be if I did."

 

[GypsyGirl84]

Lisa frowned, her eyebrows furrowed. She remained silent for a few minutes, before she quietly asked, "So any idea who this champion and tester are? I mean, what are they like? And maybe I can stay put and avoid them."

 

[Aussie_Wolf]

Jason shook his head. "I have no idea. I mean from the hieroglyphs in the tomb you raided," he told her smiling, "It seems that the high priestess never found what she was looking for, so maybe you won't either. However considering the age we are living in maybe you might. I am not going to sugar coat things Lisa, I am pretty sure you would prefer the truth. Even if you tried to hide away here, destiny has a way of finding you and making these sorts of things happen."

He smiled at her at tried to make her feel better. "Of course like I told you, I am not going to let anything happen to you. You have my cell number and you can phone it day or night and I will be here in a flash. I do have a few teleporters that can get me here instantly you know."

 

[GypsyGirl84]

Dazzle nodded, her face still serious. "So what should I be looking for in this Champion and the Tester. I mean, do they have Excalibur, or two heads, or shoot fireballs?" Lisa tried to be putting a joking tone in her voice, but it was obvious she was still shaken up about the revelation.

 

[Aussie_Wolf]

Jason wanted to hug Dazzle so much. She was basically being told she was a pawn in a big galactic game and there wasn't much she could do about it.

"Look Dazzle I am going to do something and I am not sure if you are going to like it or not, but it sure looks like you could use a hug right now. I can give you one for a full minute and I don't care if that stinking yellow jewel doesn't like it and kicks me around afterwards okay. Just say when," he said smiling at her.

 

[GypsyGirl84]

Lisa waved her hand in the negative, showing Jason that a hug was the last thing she wanted or needed. "What I need," she said determinedly, "Is for you to tell me what this Champion is supposed to be like, and what this Tester is supposed to be like. What did the Gem tell you they were going to be like?"

 

[Aussie_Wolf]

Jason sighed. Ever the hard ass. Well she was not going to be happy with his answer then.

"Would you believe me if I told you they have no clue. They will supposedly know when they see them but not before. Okay let me see if I can get the exact wording of what they said." Jason thought back to his conversation. Another bonus of his power was that he had a very,very good memory.

"Okay let's see I am pretty sure it went something like HE has chosen her. The Champion will show a sign. The Champion will fight the Tester. The Champion will escort her to HIM. The Champion will fight HIM. The Champion will die. HE will have her. It was to be this way. The Old Champion fled. The New Champion will be found. HE waits for her."

Recall looked at her. "So I am thinking the tester might be on their planet or something, or a robot or something they can activate at will as soon as they find this champion. All they are waiting for is this special sign. What that is I have no clue, they didn't mention that."

 

[GypsyGirl84]

"But nothing about how we'd recognize the Champion or the Tester. White guy, black guy, what powers they'd have or not have?" Lisa asked in exasperation.

 

[Aussie_Wolf]

Jason shook his head and shrugged. "Like I said, I don't think they know either. I am thinking they're not even sure what this sign is even."

He looked at her and then looked down. "Sorry I wasn't much help was I. I have only made the situation worse than before. At least then you just had to worry about your dazzle field. Now because of my great idea you have all this to worry about. Sorry, Guess I will just grab my stuff and leave you alone," he told her standing up.

 

[GypsyGirl84]

Lisa just nodded silently. "Make yourself at home. I need to think." And without another word, she disappeared.

 

[Aussie_Wolf]

Jason watched as she blinked out of existence and shook his head. He had actually been meaning that he would be getting his stuff and leaving the island, but he couldn't leave her now if she was expecting him to be here when she came back now could he. Sighing he made his way towards the room he had been in last time.

As he trudged along he thought about what he had learned tonight. One, Dazzle was some sort of sacrifice to something. Well she was if this champion ever turned up. After all he never had for the Priestess.
Two, the Dazzle field was to keep her pure for this entity and all her powers were just incidental because of this.
Three, the jewel seemed to be a probe that allowed an alien consciousness to monitor everything she did and keep an eye out for this champion.
Four, they still had no idea who or what this champion was they were looking for.

So in total he had accomplished nothing more than scaring her for no purpose and had learned nothing in return. Yeah way to go Jason, he said patting himself on the back mentally.

He arrived at the room and peeking in found his bag sitting on the bed. Smiling he walked in. Trust Marie to remember everything. He kicked off his shoes and then laid down on the bed and stared at the ceiling. The day had started out so well, he thought.
