ORF Chapter I: Why Mind Control Works So Well

Author's Note: This is the beginning of a revision. If MC stories can
possibly be called implausible, the first version of ORF was. In order
to make mind-controlling, body-altering, and object-altering more
plausible, I decided to change the mechanics of the ORF universe. It's
also compatible with other stories now, from mild hypnosis-type
stories to the out-there, reality-controlling stories. During the
revision, I'm keeping similar characters and situations wherever
possible. I hope you like it. If you do, email me. I like feedback,
even bad feedback. -- emc.bobwhite@gmail.com

Even with all the power we can wield, sometimes, not often but
sometimes, a story breaks on the local news. No story has gone past
that level, but that's to be expected; and, it's still too far. I'm
sure there's at least a few besides us who remember such stories--
stories of people suddenly disappearing only to re-appear, changed
forever. They're found miles away from their homes, usually; there are
a few times they're found right under their friends' and families'
noses, though. Their behavior is markedly different from what is
remembered of them in most cases. Sometimes, their looks are also
different. Television calls it amnesia. Or, fugue, if you please: they
just left one life behind for no apparent reason and started a new
one.

While I'm sure there are a couple of actual cases out there, most of
the time, it's because of the plague-like blessing of a group of
people known as "controllers." I'm one, and undoubtedly, some of you
reading this are, too. We can alter the normal personality patterns of
a person (or a group of them!), with varying degrees of ability and
success. Some, with precious little power that they are quite often
not even aware they posses, can place a person in a trance-like state
and do anything from have the person's body obey commands like a dog
to create alternate personalities available and switchable via
external stimuli to permanently (or so they think) alter a person's
core personality. Moving up in talent you have the type who can
control people at their whim... as long as that whim is expressed
verbally. Next are the general telepaths, who can think at a person
and they will perform, and sometimes even think, the way they are
"told" to.

Then, there are the bigger fish, and they can do more than the
average, run-of-the-mill telepath can do. They can change a person's
body. Talents in this area are diverse, as some can alter looks on a
more or less cosmetic level, others have the ability to actually
change how a body functions--even adding or removing various parts of
the body and sometimes affecting DNA. Some, but no all, of this group,
understand why it all works: life is only partially real. While some
philosophers will claim that the individual is real and everything
else may be an illusion, it's actually people and life that are the
illusions.

You and I and every living thing we know of are, for lack of a better
word, auras shaping matter. That matter is our body and anything with
which we have intimate contact. Sure, protein and DNA are the blocks
and blueprints, but the essence of a person is his or her aura. And,
no, not the aura that some healers can see--although that talent does
exist in them, to a degree: when you look into a mirror, you're
staring into how your aura, made up of your feelings and experiences,
has shaped the matter making up your body. Every time you have direct
or even indirect contact with someone or something, part of your aura
rubs off on that person or object, as well.

Knowing this allows us to change not just people's bodies, but their
memories, motives, though patterns, direct thoughts, possessions--
their very reality. To illustrate this, let me choose a popular
example: if I force a woman's breasts to grow to a size that I like, I
can choose to just arbitrarily change them, leaving her confused as to
how to explain the change and in need of new clothes. Or, I can make
it so that she, and everyone she knows or who has ever seen her,
believes that it is natural for her to posses those assets, as if they
grew during puberty. I can even affect her aura so that while she
notices the sudden change, she unknowingly sends a signal that tells
everyone else that it's normal and they've always been that way. Cool,
huh? Knowing this allows me (and those of my Order) to change even the
most mundane non-living things, because at some point, life had to
intervene--and life can be altered.

Our Order is the Order of Reality Fixers. I know, bad name, but it
doesn't have to be good. We have to be good, because there's too much
work for even us to handle. Want an example? Ever wonder deep inside
how a porn star can do what he or she does? Sometimes, it's voluntary.
98% of the time (an actual statistic), it's not; they're picked up off
the street (or wherever) and turned into what they become. Thankfully,
most folks involved in this alteration pattern don't have enough power
to change bodies, which is why fake tits prevail. And, we don't stop
it most of the time because it's relatively harmless and fun. Sorry,
involuntary porn stars.

It's not that all our time is devoted to sexual-themed adventures and
investigations; in fact, the truth is far from it. Most of the time,
we're busy keeping the next Hitler from taking over. It happens more
often than you think. But, the sexual mind-crimes are the most
personal to most ORF members who I know. That blindingly beautiful
teacher who was turned into a stripper who turns tricks for her
patrons for $10? That is someone's daughter, or mother, or wife; most
changes of this type are done for humiliation--in itself, a harmless
thing to temporarily do to a normal, but when the changes become
permanent or destructive, someone's got to step in.

The woman who walks out on her family at the local mall and becomes
the devoted love slave of a beautiful woman with four other live-in
girlfriends--and who is then paraded in front of her family and
friends to explain why she is leaving them to be the cunt-slave of a
woman she didn't even meet in the mall--well, if it weren't for us,
she would never find her true home. That teenager who can't even go to
school because she has a powerful orgasm every time she hears the word
"come" cannot lead any kind of life outside an institution, unless we
intervene. Imagine trying to raise children in the mess created by
everyday mind controllers left unchecked!

Thankfully, most controllers are sloppy and make mistakes, and are
even mistaken about their own powers. The most famous examples are
"permanent" alterations. Nothing is permanent; all you can do is add
to or hide from an aura's center (a mind, in other words); no matter
how complete memory eras ion, for example, it can be undone completely
or partially.

That's not to say that we don't have our fun sometimes. In the
following chapters, you'll hear stories ripped from our mental
database--some are adventures in debauchery (that is why you're
reading this), some are handy-man fix-it jobs. Just remember not to
try any of this at home. We'll probably find out.
