However, before he knows it, he finds himself, alongside his teammates, playing an Exhibition match - in more ways than one. ", "writing": "The first rays of sunlight find their way past the blinds of Room 170, and Austin wakes up when one of the warm, bright rays shines directly into his eyes. The wolf groans and rubs his paw through his eyes, trying to rub away the sleepiness. He fully opens his eyes, and notices he’s fully clothed again – albeit slightly messy, his pants are on backwards for instance – and in his own bunkbed.\n\nHe sits upright and stretches, feeling surprisingly well rested considering the night he had with his two roommates. Both Luc and Buck are still sound asleep, and Austin decides to let them be for the time being as he strips out of his pajamas. He grabs a fresh set of clothes, his uniform, and decides to head out for breakfast when he notices an envelope that’s been pushed underneath their front door.\n\nHis thoughts begin to race, immediately fearing the worst-case scenario. “[i]Someone must’ve heard their pleasured moans and shouts and complained about noise levels.”[/i] The wolf thinks to himself, his paws trembling as he bends down to grab the letter. \n\nHe picks up the envelope and immediately spots the official college insignia in the top right of the envelope. [i]“Yup. We’re fucked.” [/i]He thinks, as he gently opens the letter – specifically addressed to him. However, as his eyes dart over the contents of the letter, he breathes a sigh of relief. Rather than a noise complaint – or, worse, a request to move out – it’s an addendum to his schedule.\n\n“Austin, attached to this letter you will find an additional lesson for today’s classes. Due to your performance, we’ve decided that you – along with a few other students from your team – get to have a session with our sports psychologist. Consider it a bonus for your hard work. Of course, the lesson isn’t compulsory, however we would still strongly recommend paying a visit in order to fully prepare for the upcoming tournament.” Austin mumbles as he reads the letter out loud, raising an eyebrow at the sudden addition. \n\n“What’ve you got there?” Buck says, apparently also awake. Austin jumps at the sound, not having realised that his roommate had woken up as well in the meantime. Once he’s calmed down, the wolf turns around and hands the letter to his roommate. \n\nThe stag grabs the letter and reads it over as well, raising an eyebrow once he’s done. \n\n“You know, this might be what we were supposed to condition you for.” He theorizes once he sees the words ‘sports psychologist.’\n\nAustin stares at Buck for a second, lost in thought. “So it’s not because of my stellar performance, you think?” He eventually replies, semi-joking.\n\n“Could be both.” Buck responds.\n\nAustin nods, bids his roommate goodbye for the day and heads off into the halls of the college, grabbing a quick breakfast before visiting his classes. The day goes by rather fast, and despite the fact that he was able to properly focus on most of the lessons, he was looking forward to the extra lesson quite a bit. \n\nHe couldn’t help but deny that Buck’s remark had stirred something within him. The past few weeks had really awoken his hunger for hypnosis by quite a large margin, and a destined visit with a sports psychologist was pretty suspicious out of the blue, especially given what Luc and Buck had explained to him about the principal’s request.\n\nDuring his training, Austin meets with his otter teammate. The otter is surprised at first that Austin struck up yet another conversation with him, with the otter usually being one of the more quiet and ignored players on the team. \n\n“Sully, sorry for being so quick and to-the-point yesterday.” Austin says. “I was having a bit of a panic attack because I thought I somehow got wrapped up in some massive conspiracy theory. It still sort of is, I suppose, but it’s significantly less harmful.” \n\nThe otter smiles. “This is about that hypnosis thing, isn’t it?” \n\nAustin nods.\n\n“Yeah, I didn’t really get the chance to explain myself because you already left by the time I wanted to elaborate. It’s part of a plan of the” Sully says, before his sentence gets completed by Austin.\n\n“Principal to ease us into the concept of being hypnotized to improve on our performance since it’s what made this college famous in the first place supposedly. Yes, exactly. That’s also what my roommates told me yesterday when I confronted them.” Austin adds.\n\nThe two coincidentally get thrown onto the same team for training, and in the duck-out the continue to discuss their situation. \n\n“So, obviously you’ve got the talent, otherwise you wouldn’t have been scouted onto this college. But what’s keeping you back? Why would you need hypnosis?” Austin asks the otter, who chuckles before giving his response.\n\n“Yeah. I’m pretty good if I say so myself. But I’ve got a massive case of stage fright. So whenever we played casual games at my high school, I’d absolutely wreck house, just like with our trainings. However the second we had spectators, I’d freeze up.” The otter says. “What about you, Austin?”\n\n“Anxiety. Not just performances that stress me out, just… general stress and anxiety. But whenever people expect things of me, it’s at its worst. That said, my roommates have been extremely helpful in getting rid of that tension. Or, partially, at the very least.”\n\nSully nods. “I’m glad to hear it. I personally don’t really know if it’s helped thus far seeing how we haven’t played a single official match yet. But I’d like to think it has? Considering how deeply hypnotized I’ve been.” The otter says.\n\n“Are they good? You know, at hypnotism?” Austin asks.\n\nSully shrugs. “Meh. They’re all right. I’ve been to a stage hypnosis show before so it wasn’t the first time I came into contact with it. I suppose that helped loosen me up to the idea.” \n\nTheir discussion gets interrupted halfway through when it’s Austin’s time to hit the field. He looks over his shoulder towards the Otter as he grabs his bat and prepares. “Did you also get invited for the extra lesson today?” He asks.\n\nSully nods before gesturing towards the field. “Go on, hit that shit out of the park. I’ll talk to you later.” He says.\n\n[center]~ ~ ~  ~ ~ ~[/center]\n\nEventually, the final lesson on his original schedule wraps up, and Austin eagerly packs his stuff before heading down the hallway towards the classroom mentioned in the letter. He notices that he’s somewhat nervous now, unsure of what to expect, but the familiar sight of a few of his teammates – mostly just Sully – calms him down. \n\nEventually, once a decent group of nine players have gathered, a leopard man appears from down the hallway. He looks at the nine students and smiles, taking out a key from his pocket and unlocking the classroom.\n\n“Go on, step inside.” He says, still smiling.\n\nThe students look at each other somewhat awkwardly, before entering the classroom one by one. Rather than a usual classroom setup with desks and chairs, there’s a soft mattress floor like you would expect in a gym or dojo, with a bunch of cushions as seat. \n\nThe leopard sits down in the middle of the group, and eventually Austin is the first to sit down amidst the circle. Eventually, the full team is seated and the leopard takes the word.\n\n“Good afternoon! Glad you could all join me on such short notice. I’m Sevve, the sports psychologist hired at college this year. You’ve all received a letter today because of your performances. I heard whispers that some of you were afraid that you were gonna get dropped out, but please, rest assured that it’s the exact opposite.” He begins. \n\nAustin immediately notices how calm and soothing his voice is. Of course, as a psychologist he needs to gain the trust of the students, so having a calm voice definitely helps easing the nerves. He attentively continues to listen to what the leopard has to say.\n\n“We’ve decided that we want to offer you a helping hand with some of your more personal issues when it comes to your performance. For instance, Austin, you claimed to have troubles with nervousness and anxiety, yes?” He continues.\n\nAustin swallows when he hears his name, caught off guard completely, not expecting to be called out like that.\n\n“Uh, well… y-yes. I suppose so...?” He stutters. [i]“Come on Aus, get yourself together.”[/i] The wolf thinks to himself. He’s been improving so much when it comes to his nervousness, mostly thanks to the hard work of Luc and Buck with their hypnosis sessions. Why would he suddenly be so anxious again?”\n\n“But I’ve been working on it… together with… Nevermind, actually.” He adds, a blush appearing on his face.\n\nSevve chuckles. “I see.” \n\n“[i]What does that mean?”[/i] Austin thinks to himself.\n\n“Anyway,” the leopard continues, “I’m here to help you guys with those issues a bit. You’ve all been made familiar with hypnosis by now via your roommates, I assume?” He says with a smirk on his face.\n\nThere’s an awkward silence while the group looks around at each other. Sully meets Austin’s gaze, but for some reason the otter struggles to speak up. It’s as if both of their struggles have been amplified. Sully’s stage fright, and Austin’s anxiety.\n\nThe wolf closes his eyes and tries to envision the notebook. It’s… mostly empty still, much to his relief. Austin opens his eyes again and clears his throat.\n\n“Yes, th-that’s what I was going to say… I’ve been working on chipping away at my anxiety with them as my guides. It’s been… semi successful, I’d say.” Austin says.\n\nSevve smiles as he hears Austin’s anecdote. Eventually, a few of his teammates also speak up.\n\n“Good! Good. Well… I hope you guys are used to dropping into trance now, because I’m going to be hosting a group session to prepare you for the big upcoming match! Nothing exciting, just some mild relaxation and conditioning if that’s okay with you all.” Sevve says\n\nAgain, a moment of silence fills the room as the teammates awkwardly stare around. Eventually, Sully – of all people – is the first to speak up. “Sure. What’s the worst that can happen? Let’s just get this over with, since you probably won’t take no for an answer.” The otter says, a semi-begrudging undertone in his voice.\n\nSevve just laughs. “No, no. You misunderstand, Sully. You’re free to go if you want! There’s no pressure at all, I’m only here to help you guys. Again, there’s no pressure.” He says reassuringly, looking around the room. \n\n“I see you’re all willing to give it a go?” he continues. “Good! That’s good! You’ve all been very polite, sitting down on those cushions and all. But they were actually destined for your heads. I want you guys to all get comfortable on the floor, on your backs, paws towards the center, head on the cushion. Just get into position, I’ll dim the lights in the meantime.” The leopard says, indeed pressing a button on a device in his paws, turning down the lights. \n\nAustin obediently scoots off of the cushion and lays down on the floor mat, his head comfortably upon the cushion warmed by his butt. He settles onto it, wiggling a bit until he’s comfortable. He crosses his arms onto his stomach, feeling it rise and up and down with his breathing. While he knows that he’s surrounded by his teammates, the fact that he can’t see them does somewhat help with settling into comfort and preparing to be dropped by a professional. \n\nEventually, the sound of nine students moving and scooting around the room settles as they’ve all found their position, and the room is now only filled by an occasional sniffle and breathing noises. \n\n“Good. Well done, you guys. I’m proud of you. Are you all ready to begin?” Sevve asks.\n\nAustin nods, not sure if Sevve can even see it. He assumes it was a rhetorical question, yet still he answered. \n\n“Then let us do so.” Sevve says. “I want you guys to all close your eyes. You’ve all practiced hypnosis with your roommates’ toys, metronomes and pendulums and even spirals, but I don’t want any of those visuals distracting you guys from my voice, okay?” he continues.\n\nAustin immediately notices something about his voice… Of course, Luc and Buck had both guided him down into trance by talking – assisted by their tools – but most of the work was their words. Regardless, Sevve’s voice is like warm honey, seeping into his brain. Effortlessly finding its way to all the right places, sending a shiver down his spine. He didn’t even do so consciously, but his eyes are closed.\n\n“Allow me to guide you to that lovely, comfortably warm state of mind… You’re all wonderfully talented, but after a long day of school and training you must all be so… incredibly… exhausted.” The leopard continues. His words carry an undeniable truth, and Austin has to suppress a yawn once he realizes just how tired he truly is.\n\n“But that’s okay. That exhaustion is welcomed. It’s okay to relax, to settle into that floaty warmth. That blissful relaxation, where you struggle to separate the realm of trance and consciousness. It’s okay to let my words be the thread that guides you between these borders. All you have to do… is breathe.”\n\nThere’s a certain disconnect within Austin’s mind. He’s stuck in a weird juxtaposition of simultaneous respect for just how smooth and mesmerizing his words are, almost in an admiring way. But he’s also sinking into trance at a record time. Perhaps it’s a combination of elements that is guiding him there, but whatever it is, he’s [i]good.[/i]\n\nHe continues to speak in a hypnotic fashion. His voice is quiet, barely louder than a whisper. His pacing is filled with determination, slow but purposeful. His honeyed words are coaxing all nine students into the drowsy, floaty state that they’ve grown accustomed to. The leopard continues to talk, and Austin feels his consciousness dripping away… drip, drip, drop, drop.\n\n“Drop.” The leopard says, snapping his fingers. There’s an almost tangible shift in the room as all nine students simultaneously feel themselves falling into his desired state of control. A relaxed, mindless smile forms on Austin’s face as he continues to feel himself sink into hypnosis. Sevve’s grasp over his mind is unfathomable, and the last bit of consciousness that lingers in Austin’s head is that admiration for the proficiency Sevve is displaying in taking down all nine students. \n\n“Good boys. You’re all so obedient and deep now! But I’m sure you can all sink a bit deeper for me, can’t you? It would feel so nice to go down, deep down, all the way.” He says, putting emphasis on extending the L’s in all. \n\nThe leopard begins to walk through the room, and Austin hears his footsteps approach him as he moves in a circle, his claws gently tapping on the floormat. Despite his eyes being closed, he feels his presence as he kneels down next to him, his attention temporarily focused on the teammate next to him.\n\nDuring the moment of silence, Austin allows himself to drift and actually enjoy the blissful, swirly emptiness that permeates through his mind. His hypnotic spell has him floating so deeply, do drowsily, that the silence that lingers almost coaxes him into actual sleep. His consciousness begins to fade, and time begins to dilate as he teeters on the edge of slumber.\n\nHis drifting is rudely awoken when Sevve has moved on to him. Whatever he did to his teammate, he’s evidently done with him and now will do the same to Austin. He snaps his fingers in front of Austin’s face, whispering “Wake” in his ears. Immediately, Austin struggles to open his eyes, settling for a sleepy half-lidded look. The world is blurry, his mind is foggy, but his words are oh so clear.\n\n“Don’t you dare fall asleep for me, sleepyhead.” He says in a teasing tone. “Not yet, at least.” The leopard says. Austin feels his paws lift his head up from the cushion, guiding his gaze towards his by moving his head gently to the side.\n\nHe stares ahead, and the leopard is staring right back at him with a sweet smile on his face. “Hey there, Austin. You still with me?” he whispers. Austin faintly nods, having to use all the energy he still has left in him.\n\n“Good boy. I’ve got something for you. Two things, actually.” He continues. From behind his back, he reveals a circular device. It somewhat resembles a small mirror, in the way that it’s a glass object with a golden outer edge. He presses a button on top, and immediately a spiral appears.\n\nInstantly, Austin is mesmerized. The wolf can’t avert his gaze from the swirling spiral on the device, its’ constant rotations drawing his attention deeply towards the center. It’s like the swirls are siphoning all of his mental energy.\n\n“There you go. Isn’t that nice to look at? You could just stare forever… Your gaze lost into the deep, spiraling abyss. But that’s not what we’re here for today…” The leopard says, as he puts a set of headphones on the wolf’s head.\n\nAll sounds from the outside world are muffled suddenly, and he struggles to hear the leopard’s words. He focuses every last bit of energy he has, that isn’t being drained by the spiral that still has his gaze trapped. \n\n“I’m gonna play a little audio file for you now, Austin. Specifically tailored towards your desires and needs. All you have to do is lay back… listen… enjoy… and sleep.” He says, gently guiding his head back onto his pillow. Once he’s back in position, he snaps his fingers again and, immediately, Austin is completely and utterly gone.\n\nAustin’s eyes flutter shut, and his conscious mind has been relieved off its’ duties. He’s fully hypnotized, blank and deep. Only his subconsciousness remains as the headphones come to live. They begin slow, soothing, whispering. \n\n“Good boy. You enjoy being deep. You enjoy being blank.” The headphones say, constantly repeating at a non-intrusive pace. There’s a deep, bass-like rumble playing at the same time, almost tickling his brain, forcing him into submission. All Austin can do at this point, all Austin wants to do at this point, is listen.\n\n[center]~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~[/center]\n\nThe wolf feels himself mindlessly drifting as the binaurals continue to blast his mind with their trance-inducing frequencies, and the headphones continue to whisper into his ear. At first, the suggestions and mantras remain simple and generic. You’re deep, you’re blank, you’re hypnotized. Nothing he hasn’t heard or felt before.\n\nBut as time goes on, the headphones begin to shift in attitude. Or, at least, the audio file does. The generic suggestions of relaxation change, slowly being replaced by words of affirmation. Sweet, honeyed words, coaxing him to be calm. Collected. \n\n“Good boy. You drift… when you’re with your teammates you are blank. When you’re with your teammates you’re happy. When you’re with your teammates you’re at ease.” \n\nThe words are reaffirming. The words are good. The headphones tell the truth, the headphones know what is right for Austin. The dumb, mindless smile returns to his face as he fails to stop himself from drooling all over the floor mat. His body has never been this relaxed, his mind has never been this blank, his very soul has never felt this calm.\n\n“Good boy. Drift deeply now. Deeper than ever before. Deeply down, deeply sleepy.” The headphones continue, still keeping him sedated with their words and binaurals. Time has lost its meaning, Austin has no idea how long he’s been listening to the headphones now. He barely remembers what happened before they were put on in the first place. He barely has any thought. Why would he think when the headphones can do that for him?\n\nAs Sevve looks around, content with his work, he turns on a dial on a remote control he’s holding. All nine students suddenly hear their headphones shift into a new phase, as it begins to sputter out new commands.\n\n“Good boy. Sit up. Face your teammates.” The headphone says. Austin obeys. Sully obeys. All teammates obey as they slowly rise from their position, sitting upright and blankly staring into the room at each other.\n\n“Good boy. Stare at your teammates. Sink deeply. Drift deeply.” \n\nIt’s not even a suggestion, but Austin finds himself quietly whispering ‘sink deeply, drift deeply’ over and over again as he continues to listen to what the headphones command of him. Sevve has long left the inner circle, having moved to lean against the door as he witnesses the fruits of his labor.\n\n“Good boy. When you’re with your teammates you are blank. When you’re with your teammates you’re happy. When you’re with your teammates you’re at ease.”\n\nHe’s heard this mantra before. This is a familiar mantra, a safe mantra. A good mantra. One that he’s familiar with, and so it must be true. Of course it is true.\n\n“Good boy. When you’re with these teammates you are blank. When you’re with these teammates you’re happy. When you’re with these teammates you’re at ease. When you’re with these teammates you are naked.”\n\nFor a fraction of a second, Austin feels doubt settle into his mind, but the headphones drag him right back down with a few fast finger snaps. But… why would he doubt the headphones? The words are true. When he’s with these eight teammates he [i]is[/i] at ease. He [i]is[/i] happy. So why should he [i]not [/i]be naked amongst them?\n\n“Good boy. When you’re with these teammates you are blank. When you’re with these teammates you’re happy. When you’re with these teammates you’re at ease. When you’re with these teammates you are naked.”\n\nThe mantra continues to repeat, again followed by the finger snaps. Each one is like a separate blast of blankness that fills his mind. Again, despite not even being commanded to do so, Austin quietly says parts of the mantra out loud. The most important parts, at that.\n\nBlank. Happy. At ease. Naked. Blank. Happy. At ease. Naked.\n\n“Strip.”\n\nThe command from the headphones is as simple as it is true. When he’s with these eight teammates, he’s naked. So… why is he still wearing clothes in the first place? A simple oversight… His paws drift towards his shorts, quickly unbuttoning them. With ease, they slide off, down to his ankles, and he agilely kicks them over his footpaws onto the floormat in front of him. \n\n“Good boy.”\n\nHis shirt follows almost immediately after, the wolf eagerly and obediently lifting the school uniform over his shoulders. He almost knocks off the headset in the process, but readjusts the headphones so that he can properly listen to its’ truths. Once his shirt is fully removed, he tosses it onto the floormat right next to his pants. The cool air of the room brushes over his bare chest, and a shiver runs down his body.\n\n“Almost there.” \n\nOf course, he has to be [i]completely[/i] naked. So his underwear has to go as well. Another moment of lucidity breaks through the veil as he witnesses all eight of his teammates undressing, getting fully naked just like him. But the moment is as fleeting as it is irrelevant. After all, he’s got to be naked with his teammates right now.\n\nAnd so, his undies slide off. They follow the same path has his shorts, getting pulled down his legs down to his ankles, and kicked off by his footpaws. \n\n“Good boy. Deeply hypnotized, fully naked. Pleasure. Pleasure. Pleasure.” The headphones continue, a finger snap following every single time the word pleasure repeats. \n\nAustin feels the pleasure radiate through his body like a warm bath, like a ray of sunlight in the summer - but also stirring something primal deep within him. While the headset didn’t explicitly state the pleasure to be of sexual nature, Austin’s inherent desires filled in the gaps. The wolf feels himself growing more and more erect as the word ‘pleasure’ is repeated. It’s good to be naked with his teammates. It’s [i]right[/i] to be naked with this teammates.\n\nAnd his teammates evidently agree. They’re all sitting upright in their full nudity. Unashamed. Unaware. Undressed.\n\n“Take off the headset.” The headset says, and Austin’s paws immediately react. The headset is lifted off of his head and gently placed down onto the ground. Once all of his teammates have done the same, Sevve takes the word again.\n\n“Good boys! You’re all so obedient. You don’t mind being naked around your teammates anymore, don’t you? It’s completely natural. After all, you’ve seen each other naked before in the showers. So why not do so more often?” he says, walking around the room again, gently brushing through the bare fur of some of his teammates. \n\n“Go on. Get nice and familiar with each other. Get close to each other, take a closer look, enjoy yourselves.” The leopard says, and immediately the nine students rise to their feetpaws. \n\nThey stand up and begin to wander through the room, almost sleepwalking. Austin feels himself on his own, mindlessly wandering towards his otter teammate Sully, who seems to be doing the same thing. \n\nOnce they’re standing right in front of each other, they seem to closely inspect each other’s naked bodies, taking in the full picture. They both remain respectful though, keeping their arms nice and limp besides their body. \n\nThe other teammates are doing the same thing. There’s no touching involved, only casual nudity and admiration of their own, muscular bodies. Austin can’t help but closely inspect Sully’s biceps, his forearms being almost comically big compared to other parts of his body. Sully, in the meantime, is obsessed with Austin’s abs. The wolf’s six-pack is flawless, almost… [i]tasty[/i], in a respectful way. \n\nSevve continues to walk around the room with a wide grin on his face. He knows that he’s done his job, getting the boys primed for the match that’s yet to come. Eventually, once the group has gotten… [i]acquainted[/i] with each other, he snaps his fingers.\n\nThe nine students immediately stand at attention, turning to face his. He gestures at the cushions on the floor, commanding the students to lay down again, which they obviously do. Once they’re all nice and comfortable again, he speaks up again.\n\n“Listen closely. I want you all to get dressed. But every piece of clothing you put on will strengthen the call of slumber tenfold. Once all your clothes are back on, you will succumb to a deep restorative nap like the good obedient boys you are. It’s nap time after all.” He says, almost teasingly. \n\nWith slow movements, Austin grabs his underwear and begins to put it on again. As he does so, he feels just how much weight Sevve’s words carry. As his underwear makes contact with his groin again, he feels like he’s been drugged. His perception of the world slows down and becomes fuzzy, and the idea of even putting on his shirt is a chore. Still, he obeys.\n\nHe grabs the shirt, lifting it up again and pulling it down. Once the fabric rests on his shoulders, the drugged-like feeling returns – this time, as commanded, ten times as strong. His eyes close on their own and his body sways left to right for some time, struggling to stay awake. It costs every fiber in his being to even [i]move[/i] towards his pants, let alone put them on.\n\nHis tired footpaws move down the sleeves of the shorts, and his paws pull them upwards. He almost doesn’t want to put in the effort to close the buttons anymore, but the promised increase of this wonderfully tired feeling is too strong.\n\nHe closes the buttons of his shorts, collapses back down onto the floormat, his head hitting the cushion. \n\nAnd sleeps.\n\nHis mind is blank and empty. Not a single thought is left as he sleeps, completely brainwashed and conditioned, deeply hypnotized and utterly obedient.\n\nSevve waits for all of his teammates to join him in their slumber, and once they’re all fully dressed and asleep, he smiles.\n\n“Good boys. Let the conditioning and suggestions of this session nestle deep into the back of your minds. When you’re with these teammates you are blank. When you’re with these teammates you’re happy. When you’re with these teammates you’re at ease. When you’re with these teammates you are naked. But right now, you sleep. And right now, allow all the memories of this session to fade.” The leopard continues.\n\nAustin can feel his blank mind being toyed with, played with and molded like clay. The memories of being naked are long gone. The memories of the spiral on the tiny circular mirror are fading. The memories of the headphones conditioning him so brilliantly deeply have disappeared. His thoughts have disappeared. Finally, once the last details have faded, a lone finger snap fills the room for one last time.\n\n“Wake.”\n\nThe wolf’s eyes shoot open. His mind is still fuzzy, his thoughts warm and slow. He groans as he sits upright and looks around the room. His teammates appear to share his confusion, groggily waking up one by one. He yawns and stretches, unable to recall much from the last hour. That said, there’s a weird, warm feeling in his chest. He can’t shake the feeling that something profoundly positive occurred.\n\nThe lack of memories from the hypnosis session do strike him as odd, but he shrugs it off. After all, Sevve is a trained hypnotist – and therefore his hypnosis is most likely significantly stronger and effective than that of Buck and Luc. \n\n“Well, dear students, that concludes this session. I hope you enjoyed it, and I’ll be seeing you all around!” Sevve says with a knowing grin. \n\nAustin mutters a quiet “thank you” before making his way out of the classroom and heading back to his room.\n\n[center]~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~[/center]\n\nThe rest of the week is surprisingly regular. Despite Austin barely having any memories of the meetup with the sports psychologist, he can’t help but feel like it was a deeply positive experience. He feels calmer, more relaxed and more confident. And, the more he asks around, most of his teammates who’d joined him seem to agree.\n\nAs the week goes by, Austin finds himself thinking less and less about the notebook he’s visualized in his mind as a result of the hypnosis sessions he had with Luc and Buck. At first, the notebook was still decently full with pages representing his anxiety. But the more he practiced – both hypnosis and baseball – the less pages the book had. Eventually, it stopped showing up in his mind in the first place. A good sign, the wolf hopes.\n\nAfter one of the many team practices, Austin walks towards the locker rooms together with Sully when the two are suddenly stopped by a voice calling them from behind. They both turn around, and see that it’s the person who scouted them – Zeus. \n\nThe wolf smiles when he looks at the two baseball players, handing them a letter. \n\n“This one is for you, Austin. And… this one’s yours, Sully! Go ahead and put them in your backpack or whatever. Read it at your own pace. There’s no rush. I just thought I’d give them to you in person rather than toss them beneath your rooms this time! Feels less… anonymous, wouldn’t you say?” the wolf says, before waving them goodbye and turning around, happily walking in the direction of different teammates.\n\nSully and Austin look at each other with a confused expression, before both tearing into the letter in order to read its contents. The wolf and otter both scan through the letter simultaneously before looking at each other again, this time beaming with happiness.\n\n“I assume we both read the same thing?” The otter says.\n\nAustin nods, unable to stop his tail from wagging. “I guess so!” He says excitedly, taking the time to read through the letter again, out loud this time.\n\n“Dear Austin, we’re happy to announce that you’ve been selected as one of the starting nine students for our upcoming first match in our college league. We expect you to be in top shape for this opening match which happens to be on home ground. The match will be played on yadi yadi yada, you get the idea.” The wolf says.\n\nSully grins and throws his paw in celebration.\n\n“Nice! So we’re both in the lineup for the first match. That’s awesome!” the otter says. “Though I suppose it was to be expected, since the both of us also got invited for that session with… what’s his name. Sevve?” The otter says.\n\nAustin nods, thinking back to the session with the leopard. \n\n“I suppose so! When does it say the match is?” Austin asks.\n\nSully scans through his letter again. \n\n“Tomorrow! That’s so damn soon! I thought the season formally started next week?” The otter replies. \n\nAustin shrugs in response. “Does it say who our opponents are?” \n\nThe otter takes another look through the letter, his eyebrow raised. \n\n“Nope.”\n\nExcitedly, after having had dinner, Austin returns to his room. Buck and Luc happen to both be there as well, engaging in a casual conversation about their recent classes. Simultaneously, they look at Austin and seem to realise that he’s happy about something.\n\n“What’s up, bro?” Buck asks with a smile.\n\nThe wolf pumps his fist into the air with a grin. “Your boy got onto the starting team for our first match tomorrow!” He says. \n\nBoth Luc and Buck cheer in unison, giving the wolf a high five each.\n\n“Damn bro, congrats! Well deserved.” Luc exclaims, before a puzzled look appears on his face. “But isn’t tomorrow quite soon?  \n\nAustin shrugs in response.\n\n“Maybe, but it’s fine! I’m ready!”\n\nWith that said, the wolf gets into his bed and quickly falls asleep, eager for tomorrow to come. \n\n[center]~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~[/center]\n\nMorning comes around, and Austin is up nice and early. He goes for a quick jog to warm up before hopping into the shower, and then meets up with Sully and his other teammates outside of their field.\n\nThe coach gathers the team for a quick huddle and motivation. \n\n“Alright team, this is gonna be the first real match you get to play. I have the utmost faith in you guys, you’ve all displayed to be very talented. This should be fun! I’ll be meeting up with the principal who’s spectating the match, so I will talk to you guys after the match.” He says.\n\nAfter completing that sentence, the coach leaves the team behind, left to their own devices, waiting until their time has come. The last few minutes go by quickly as the team discusses strategy. Austin looks around, seeing if the other team has shown up yet, though there are – thus far – no signs of them. That said, it’s game time, so he stretches one last time and clutches his bat. \n\nAustin steps onto the field, alongside his teammates. As his coach instructed, he would be the first to hit the plate. So, anxiously, he takes hold of the bat and takes position. It’s still very odd to him that he hasn’t seen any rivals yet, so why take position?\n\nFinally, someone does show up to throw ball – and for a second he’s absolutely flabbergasted. It isn’t anyone from a rival team, instead it’s one of his other teammates that didn’t make the cut supposedly. \n\nHis teammate also looks at Austin with the same confusion, and Austin looks back over his shoulder towards the dug-out. Sully meets his gaze immediately and shrugs, just as unsure about what is happening. \n\nAustin stands up straight again, getting out of position, as he prepares to walk off the field to ask for clarification, when a sound can suddenly be heard from the speakers around the field. It’s a loud buzz of feedback at first, soon replaced by a deep, soothing voice he doesn’t recognize.\n\n“Hello, students. This is your principal speaking. Welcome to your exhibition match.” The voice says.\n\nThe wolf looks at the speakers in confusion. He thought this was going to be an official match, not an exhibition match. Why would they make such a big deal about it, formal invitation letter and all? Still, he continues to listen to the speakers.\n\n“I’m sure you must all be quite confused. Don’t worry though, I’m sure this will help.” The principal says over the speakers. \n\nAustin listens attentively, anticipating some speech that clarifies everything. \n\nInstead, a loud finger snap can be heard over the speakers. \n\nA shared silence falls onto the field. Everybody stops talking, murmuring, whispering. Instead, they all go slack-jawed, silent, blank. And so does Austin. His mind grinds to a halt and his full focus is directed towards the voice over the speakers.\n\n“Good boys. You’ve all been trained quite well, I’m assuming. Now, play ball.” The voice says with a smug undertone.  \n\nImmediately, Austin’s body gets into action. He knows what to do. The information had been locked into the depth of his subconsciousness, but now that he’s nice and deep again, he remembers. He’s allowed to remember.\n\nWhen he’s with these teammates, he is blank. When he’s with these teammates, he’s happy. When Austin is with these teammates, Austin is ease. \n\nWhen Austin is with these teammates, Austin has to be naked.\n\nAnd so, his body obeys. \n\nHis school uniform is tossed onto the wet grass beneath him. His shoes are taken off, allowing his bare footpaws to breathe. His shirt, gone. Pants, gone. Cock freed. \n\nAustin isn’t alone, either. In the dug-out, his eight teammates are all stripping naked obediently. They’re at ease. They’re happy. They’re blank. They’re naked.\n\nSurprisingly, the pitcher across the field has followed suit, suggesting that they were part of another group of 9 which got the same treatment. Either way, Austin can feel the arousing warmth of being hypnotized settle into his body as he blanky readies up.\n\nDespite him being in a deep trance, horny and naked, ready to obey his principal and play – quite literally – an exhibition match, there’s a sliver of lucidity in the back of his mind. He grins, instinct powering through the hypnosis for a second.\n\nAs the pitcher leans back, ready to throw the ball, Austin summons the notebook from Luc’s original suggestion. \n\nAll the pages are gone.\n\n", "writing_bbcode_parsed": "The first rays of sunlight find their way past the blinds of Room 170, and Austin wakes up when one of the warm, bright rays shines directly into his eyes. The wolf groans and rubs his paw through his eyes, trying to rub away the sleepiness. He fully opens his eyes, and notices he’s fully clothed again – albeit slightly messy, his pants are on backwards for instance – and in his own bunkbed.

He sits upright and stretches, feeling surprisingly well rested considering the night he had with his two roommates. Both Luc and Buck are still sound asleep, and Austin decides to let them be for the time being as he strips out of his pajamas. He grabs a fresh set of clothes, his uniform, and decides to head out for breakfast when he notices an envelope that’s been pushed underneath their front door.

His thoughts begin to race, immediately fearing the worst-case scenario. “Someone must’ve heard their pleasured moans and shouts and complained about noise levels.” The wolf thinks to himself, his paws trembling as he bends down to grab the letter. 

He picks up the envelope and immediately spots the official college insignia in the top right of the envelope. “Yup. We’re fucked.” He thinks, as he gently opens the letter – specifically addressed to him. However, as his eyes dart over the contents of the letter, he breathes a sigh of relief. Rather than a noise complaint – or, worse, a request to move out – it’s an addendum to his schedule.

“Austin, attached to this letter you will find an additional lesson for today’s classes. Due to your performance, we’ve decided that you – along with a few other students from your team – get to have a session with our sports psychologist. Consider it a bonus for your hard work. Of course, the lesson isn’t compulsory, however we would still strongly recommend paying a visit in order to fully prepare for the upcoming tournament.” Austin mumbles as he reads the letter out loud, raising an eyebrow at the sudden addition. 

“What’ve you got there?” Buck says, apparently also awake. Austin jumps at the sound, not having realised that his roommate had woken up as well in the meantime. Once he’s calmed down, the wolf turns around and hands the letter to his roommate. 

The stag grabs the letter and reads it over as well, raising an eyebrow once he’s done. 

“You know, this might be what we were supposed to condition you for.” He theorizes once he sees the words ‘sports psychologist.’

Austin stares at Buck for a second, lost in thought. “So it’s not because of my stellar performance, you think?” He eventually replies, semi-joking.

“Could be both.” Buck responds.

Austin nods, bids his roommate goodbye for the day and heads off into the halls of the college, grabbing a quick breakfast before visiting his classes. The day goes by rather fast, and despite the fact that he was able to properly focus on most of the lessons, he was looking forward to the extra lesson quite a bit. 

He couldn’t help but deny that Buck’s remark had stirred something within him. The past few weeks had really awoken his hunger for hypnosis by quite a large margin, and a destined visit with a sports psychologist was pretty suspicious out of the blue, especially given what Luc and Buck had explained to him about the principal’s request.

During his training, Austin meets with his otter teammate. The otter is surprised at first that Austin struck up yet another conversation with him, with the otter usually being one of the more quiet and ignored players on the team. 

“Sully, sorry for being so quick and to-the-point yesterday.” Austin says. “I was having a bit of a panic attack because I thought I somehow got wrapped up in some massive conspiracy theory. It still sort of is, I suppose, but it’s significantly less harmful.” 

The otter smiles. “This is about that hypnosis thing, isn’t it?” 

Austin nods.

“Yeah, I didn’t really get the chance to explain myself because you already left by the time I wanted to elaborate. It’s part of a plan of the” Sully says, before his sentence gets completed by Austin.

“Principal to ease us into the concept of being hypnotized to improve on our performance since it’s what made this college famous in the first place supposedly. Yes, exactly. That’s also what my roommates told me yesterday when I confronted them.” Austin adds.

The two coincidentally get thrown onto the same team for training, and in the duck-out the continue to discuss their situation. 

“So, obviously you’ve got the talent, otherwise you wouldn’t have been scouted onto this college. But what’s keeping you back? Why would you need hypnosis?” Austin asks the otter, who chuckles before giving his response.

“Yeah. I’m pretty good if I say so myself. But I’ve got a massive case of stage fright. So whenever we played casual games at my high school, I’d absolutely wreck house, just like with our trainings. However the second we had spectators, I’d freeze up.” The otter says. “What about you, Austin?”

“Anxiety. Not just performances that stress me out, just… general stress and anxiety. But whenever people expect things of me, it’s at its worst. That said, my roommates have been extremely helpful in getting rid of that tension. Or, partially, at the very least.”

Sully nods. “I’m glad to hear it. I personally don’t really know if it’s helped thus far seeing how we haven’t played a single official match yet. But I’d like to think it has? Considering how deeply hypnotized I’ve been.” The otter says.

“Are they good? You know, at hypnotism?” Austin asks.

Sully shrugs. “Meh. They’re all right. I’ve been to a stage hypnosis show before so it wasn’t the first time I came into contact with it. I suppose that helped loosen me up to the idea.” 

Their discussion gets interrupted halfway through when it’s Austin’s time to hit the field. He looks over his shoulder towards the Otter as he grabs his bat and prepares. “Did you also get invited for the extra lesson today?” He asks.

Sully nods before gesturing towards the field. “Go on, hit that shit out of the park. I’ll talk to you later.” He says.

~ ~ ~  ~ ~ ~


Eventually, the final lesson on his original schedule wraps up, and Austin eagerly packs his stuff before heading down the hallway towards the classroom mentioned in the letter. He notices that he’s somewhat nervous now, unsure of what to expect, but the familiar sight of a few of his teammates – mostly just Sully – calms him down. 

Eventually, once a decent group of nine players have gathered, a leopard man appears from down the hallway. He looks at the nine students and smiles, taking out a key from his pocket and unlocking the classroom.

“Go on, step inside.” He says, still smiling.

The students look at each other somewhat awkwardly, before entering the classroom one by one. Rather than a usual classroom setup with desks and chairs, there’s a soft mattress floor like you would expect in a gym or dojo, with a bunch of cushions as seat. 

The leopard sits down in the middle of the group, and eventually Austin is the first to sit down amidst the circle. Eventually, the full team is seated and the leopard takes the word.

“Good afternoon! Glad you could all join me on such short notice. I’m Sevve, the sports psychologist hired at college this year. You’ve all received a letter today because of your performances. I heard whispers that some of you were afraid that you were gonna get dropped out, but please, rest assured that it’s the exact opposite.” He begins. 

Austin immediately notices how calm and soothing his voice is. Of course, as a psychologist he needs to gain the trust of the students, so having a calm voice definitely helps easing the nerves. He attentively continues to listen to what the leopard has to say.

“We’ve decided that we want to offer you a helping hand with some of your more personal issues when it comes to your performance. For instance, Austin, you claimed to have troubles with nervousness and anxiety, yes?” He continues.

Austin swallows when he hears his name, caught off guard completely, not expecting to be called out like that.

“Uh, well… y-yes. I suppose so...?” He stutters. “Come on Aus, get yourself together.” The wolf thinks to himself. He’s been improving so much when it comes to his nervousness, mostly thanks to the hard work of Luc and Buck with their hypnosis sessions. Why would he suddenly be so anxious again?”

“But I’ve been working on it… together with… Nevermind, actually.” He adds, a blush appearing on his face.

Sevve chuckles. “I see.” 

“What does that mean?” Austin thinks to himself.

“Anyway,” the leopard continues, “I’m here to help you guys with those issues a bit. You’ve all been made familiar with hypnosis by now via your roommates, I assume?” He says with a smirk on his face.

There’s an awkward silence while the group looks around at each other. Sully meets Austin’s gaze, but for some reason the otter struggles to speak up. It’s as if both of their struggles have been amplified. Sully’s stage fright, and Austin’s anxiety.

The wolf closes his eyes and tries to envision the notebook. It’s… mostly empty still, much to his relief. Austin opens his eyes again and clears his throat.

“Yes, th-that’s what I was going to say… I’ve been working on chipping away at my anxiety with them as my guides. It’s been… semi successful, I’d say.” Austin says.

Sevve smiles as he hears Austin’s anecdote. Eventually, a few of his teammates also speak up.

“Good! Good. Well… I hope you guys are used to dropping into trance now, because I’m going to be hosting a group session to prepare you for the big upcoming match! Nothing exciting, just some mild relaxation and conditioning if that’s okay with you all.” Sevve says

Again, a moment of silence fills the room as the teammates awkwardly stare around. Eventually, Sully – of all people – is the first to speak up. “Sure. What’s the worst that can happen? Let’s just get this over with, since you probably won’t take no for an answer.” The otter says, a semi-begrudging undertone in his voice.

Sevve just laughs. “No, no. You misunderstand, Sully. You’re free to go if you want! There’s no pressure at all, I’m only here to help you guys. Again, there’s no pressure.” He says reassuringly, looking around the room. 

“I see you’re all willing to give it a go?” he continues. “Good! That’s good! You’ve all been very polite, sitting down on those cushions and all. But they were actually destined for your heads. I want you guys to all get comfortable on the floor, on your backs, paws towards the center, head on the cushion. Just get into position, I’ll dim the lights in the meantime.” The leopard says, indeed pressing a button on a device in his paws, turning down the lights. 

Austin obediently scoots off of the cushion and lays down on the floor mat, his head comfortably upon the cushion warmed by his butt. He settles onto it, wiggling a bit until he’s comfortable. He crosses his arms onto his stomach, feeling it rise and up and down with his breathing. While he knows that he’s surrounded by his teammates, the fact that he can’t see them does somewhat help with settling into comfort and preparing to be dropped by a professional. 

Eventually, the sound of nine students moving and scooting around the room settles as they’ve all found their position, and the room is now only filled by an occasional sniffle and breathing noises. 

“Good. Well done, you guys. I’m proud of you. Are you all ready to begin?” Sevve asks.

Austin nods, not sure if Sevve can even see it. He assumes it was a rhetorical question, yet still he answered. 

“Then let us do so.” Sevve says. “I want you guys to all close your eyes. You’ve all practiced hypnosis with your roommates’ toys, metronomes and pendulums and even spirals, but I don’t want any of those visuals distracting you guys from my voice, okay?” he continues.

Austin immediately notices something about his voice… Of course, Luc and Buck had both guided him down into trance by talking – assisted by their tools – but most of the work was their words. Regardless, Sevve’s voice is like warm honey, seeping into his brain. Effortlessly finding its way to all the right places, sending a shiver down his spine. He didn’t even do so consciously, but his eyes are closed.

“Allow me to guide you to that lovely, comfortably warm state of mind… You’re all wonderfully talented, but after a long day of school and training you must all be so… incredibly… exhausted.” The leopard continues. His words carry an undeniable truth, and Austin has to suppress a yawn once he realizes just how tired he truly is.

“But that’s okay. That exhaustion is welcomed. It’s okay to relax, to settle into that floaty warmth. That blissful relaxation, where you struggle to separate the realm of trance and consciousness. It’s okay to let my words be the thread that guides you between these borders. All you have to do… is breathe.”

There’s a certain disconnect within Austin’s mind. He’s stuck in a weird juxtaposition of simultaneous respect for just how smooth and mesmerizing his words are, almost in an admiring way. But he’s also sinking into trance at a record time. Perhaps it’s a combination of elements that is guiding him there, but whatever it is, he’s good.

He continues to speak in a hypnotic fashion. His voice is quiet, barely louder than a whisper. His pacing is filled with determination, slow but purposeful. His honeyed words are coaxing all nine students into the drowsy, floaty state that they’ve grown accustomed to. The leopard continues to talk, and Austin feels his consciousness dripping away… drip, drip, drop, drop.

“Drop.” The leopard says, snapping his fingers. There’s an almost tangible shift in the room as all nine students simultaneously feel themselves falling into his desired state of control. A relaxed, mindless smile forms on Austin’s face as he continues to feel himself sink into hypnosis. Sevve’s grasp over his mind is unfathomable, and the last bit of consciousness that lingers in Austin’s head is that admiration for the proficiency Sevve is displaying in taking down all nine students. 

“Good boys. You’re all so obedient and deep now! But I’m sure you can all sink a bit deeper for me, can’t you? It would feel so nice to go down, deep down, all the way.” He says, putting emphasis on extending the L’s in all. 

The leopard begins to walk through the room, and Austin hears his footsteps approach him as he moves in a circle, his claws gently tapping on the floormat. Despite his eyes being closed, he feels his presence as he kneels down next to him, his attention temporarily focused on the teammate next to him.

During the moment of silence, Austin allows himself to drift and actually enjoy the blissful, swirly emptiness that permeates through his mind. His hypnotic spell has him floating so deeply, do drowsily, that the silence that lingers almost coaxes him into actual sleep. His consciousness begins to fade, and time begins to dilate as he teeters on the edge of slumber.

His drifting is rudely awoken when Sevve has moved on to him. Whatever he did to his teammate, he’s evidently done with him and now will do the same to Austin. He snaps his fingers in front of Austin’s face, whispering “Wake” in his ears. Immediately, Austin struggles to open his eyes, settling for a sleepy half-lidded look. The world is blurry, his mind is foggy, but his words are oh so clear.

“Don’t you dare fall asleep for me, sleepyhead.” He says in a teasing tone. “Not yet, at least.” The leopard says. Austin feels his paws lift his head up from the cushion, guiding his gaze towards his by moving his head gently to the side.

He stares ahead, and the leopard is staring right back at him with a sweet smile on his face. “Hey there, Austin. You still with me?” he whispers. Austin faintly nods, having to use all the energy he still has left in him.

“Good boy. I’ve got something for you. Two things, actually.” He continues. From behind his back, he reveals a circular device. It somewhat resembles a small mirror, in the way that it’s a glass object with a golden outer edge. He presses a button on top, and immediately a spiral appears.

Instantly, Austin is mesmerized. The wolf can’t avert his gaze from the swirling spiral on the device, its’ constant rotations drawing his attention deeply towards the center. It’s like the swirls are siphoning all of his mental energy.

“There you go. Isn’t that nice to look at? You could just stare forever… Your gaze lost into the deep, spiraling abyss. But that’s not what we’re here for today…” The leopard says, as he puts a set of headphones on the wolf’s head.

All sounds from the outside world are muffled suddenly, and he struggles to hear the leopard’s words. He focuses every last bit of energy he has, that isn’t being drained by the spiral that still has his gaze trapped. 

“I’m gonna play a little audio file for you now, Austin. Specifically tailored towards your desires and needs. All you have to do is lay back… listen… enjoy… and sleep.” He says, gently guiding his head back onto his pillow. Once he’s back in position, he snaps his fingers again and, immediately, Austin is completely and utterly gone.

Austin’s eyes flutter shut, and his conscious mind has been relieved off its’ duties. He’s fully hypnotized, blank and deep. Only his subconsciousness remains as the headphones come to live. They begin slow, soothing, whispering. 

“Good boy. You enjoy being deep. You enjoy being blank.” The headphones say, constantly repeating at a non-intrusive pace. There’s a deep, bass-like rumble playing at the same time, almost tickling his brain, forcing him into submission. All Austin can do at this point, all Austin wants to do at this point, is listen.

~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~


The wolf feels himself mindlessly drifting as the binaurals continue to blast his mind with their trance-inducing frequencies, and the headphones continue to whisper into his ear. At first, the suggestions and mantras remain simple and generic. You’re deep, you’re blank, you’re hypnotized. Nothing he hasn’t heard or felt before.

But as time goes on, the headphones begin to shift in attitude. Or, at least, the audio file does. The generic suggestions of relaxation change, slowly being replaced by words of affirmation. Sweet, honeyed words, coaxing him to be calm. Collected. 

“Good boy. You drift… when you’re with your teammates you are blank. When you’re with your teammates you’re happy. When you’re with your teammates you’re at ease.” 

The words are reaffirming. The words are good. The headphones tell the truth, the headphones know what is right for Austin. The dumb, mindless smile returns to his face as he fails to stop himself from drooling all over the floor mat. His body has never been this relaxed, his mind has never been this blank, his very soul has never felt this calm.

“Good boy. Drift deeply now. Deeper than ever before. Deeply down, deeply sleepy.” The headphones continue, still keeping him sedated with their words and binaurals. Time has lost its meaning, Austin has no idea how long he’s been listening to the headphones now. He barely remembers what happened before they were put on in the first place. He barely has any thought. Why would he think when the headphones can do that for him?

As Sevve looks around, content with his work, he turns on a dial on a remote control he’s holding. All nine students suddenly hear their headphones shift into a new phase, as it begins to sputter out new commands.

“Good boy. Sit up. Face your teammates.” The headphone says. Austin obeys. Sully obeys. All teammates obey as they slowly rise from their position, sitting upright and blankly staring into the room at each other.

“Good boy. Stare at your teammates. Sink deeply. Drift deeply.” 

It’s not even a suggestion, but Austin finds himself quietly whispering ‘sink deeply, drift deeply’ over and over again as he continues to listen to what the headphones command of him. Sevve has long left the inner circle, having moved to lean against the door as he witnesses the fruits of his labor.

“Good boy. When you’re with your teammates you are blank. When you’re with your teammates you’re happy. When you’re with your teammates you’re at ease.”

He’s heard this mantra before. This is a familiar mantra, a safe mantra. A good mantra. One that he’s familiar with, and so it must be true. Of course it is true.

“Good boy. When you’re with these teammates you are blank. When you’re with these teammates you’re happy. When you’re with these teammates you’re at ease. When you’re with these teammates you are naked.”

For a fraction of a second, Austin feels doubt settle into his mind, but the headphones drag him right back down with a few fast finger snaps. But… why would he doubt the headphones? The words are true. When he’s with these eight teammates he is at ease. He is happy. So why should he not be naked amongst them?

“Good boy. When you’re with these teammates you are blank. When you’re with these teammates you’re happy. When you’re with these teammates you’re at ease. When you’re with these teammates you are naked.”

The mantra continues to repeat, again followed by the finger snaps. Each one is like a separate blast of blankness that fills his mind. Again, despite not even being commanded to do so, Austin quietly says parts of the mantra out loud. The most important parts, at that.

Blank. Happy. At ease. Naked. Blank. Happy. At ease. Naked.

“Strip.”

The command from the headphones is as simple as it is true. When he’s with these eight teammates, he’s naked. So… why is he still wearing clothes in the first place? A simple oversight… His paws drift towards his shorts, quickly unbuttoning them. With ease, they slide off, down to his ankles, and he agilely kicks them over his footpaws onto the floormat in front of him. 

“Good boy.”

His shirt follows almost immediately after, the wolf eagerly and obediently lifting the school uniform over his shoulders. He almost knocks off the headset in the process, but readjusts the headphones so that he can properly listen to its’ truths. Once his shirt is fully removed, he tosses it onto the floormat right next to his pants. The cool air of the room brushes over his bare chest, and a shiver runs down his body.

“Almost there.” 

Of course, he has to be completely naked. So his underwear has to go as well. Another moment of lucidity breaks through the veil as he witnesses all eight of his teammates undressing, getting fully naked just like him. But the moment is as fleeting as it is irrelevant. After all, he’s got to be naked with his teammates right now.

And so, his undies slide off. They follow the same path has his shorts, getting pulled down his legs down to his ankles, and kicked off by his footpaws. 

“Good boy. Deeply hypnotized, fully naked. Pleasure. Pleasure. Pleasure.” The headphones continue, a finger snap following every single time the word pleasure repeats. 

Austin feels the pleasure radiate through his body like a warm bath, like a ray of sunlight in the summer - but also stirring something primal deep within him. While the headset didn’t explicitly state the pleasure to be of sexual nature, Austin’s inherent desires filled in the gaps. The wolf feels himself growing more and more erect as the word ‘pleasure’ is repeated. It’s good to be naked with his teammates. It’s right to be naked with this teammates.

And his teammates evidently agree. They’re all sitting upright in their full nudity. Unashamed. Unaware. Undressed.

“Take off the headset.” The headset says, and Austin’s paws immediately react. The headset is lifted off of his head and gently placed down onto the ground. Once all of his teammates have done the same, Sevve takes the word again.

“Good boys! You’re all so obedient. You don’t mind being naked around your teammates anymore, don’t you? It’s completely natural. After all, you’ve seen each other naked before in the showers. So why not do so more often?” he says, walking around the room again, gently brushing through the bare fur of some of his teammates. 

“Go on. Get nice and familiar with each other. Get close to each other, take a closer look, enjoy yourselves.” The leopard says, and immediately the nine students rise to their feetpaws. 

They stand up and begin to wander through the room, almost sleepwalking. Austin feels himself on his own, mindlessly wandering towards his otter teammate Sully, who seems to be doing the same thing. 

Once they’re standing right in front of each other, they seem to closely inspect each other’s naked bodies, taking in the full picture. They both remain respectful though, keeping their arms nice and limp besides their body. 

The other teammates are doing the same thing. There’s no touching involved, only casual nudity and admiration of their own, muscular bodies. Austin can’t help but closely inspect Sully’s biceps, his forearms being almost comically big compared to other parts of his body. Sully, in the meantime, is obsessed with Austin’s abs. The wolf’s six-pack is flawless, almost… tasty, in a respectful way. 

Sevve continues to walk around the room with a wide grin on his face. He knows that he’s done his job, getting the boys primed for the match that’s yet to come. Eventually, once the group has gotten… acquainted with each other, he snaps his fingers.

The nine students immediately stand at attention, turning to face his. He gestures at the cushions on the floor, commanding the students to lay down again, which they obviously do. Once they’re all nice and comfortable again, he speaks up again.

“Listen closely. I want you all to get dressed. But every piece of clothing you put on will strengthen the call of slumber tenfold. Once all your clothes are back on, you will succumb to a deep restorative nap like the good obedient boys you are. It’s nap time after all.” He says, almost teasingly. 

With slow movements, Austin grabs his underwear and begins to put it on again. As he does so, he feels just how much weight Sevve’s words carry. As his underwear makes contact with his groin again, he feels like he’s been drugged. His perception of the world slows down and becomes fuzzy, and the idea of even putting on his shirt is a chore. Still, he obeys.

He grabs the shirt, lifting it up again and pulling it down. Once the fabric rests on his shoulders, the drugged-like feeling returns – this time, as commanded, ten times as strong. His eyes close on their own and his body sways left to right for some time, struggling to stay awake. It costs every fiber in his being to even move towards his pants, let alone put them on.

His tired footpaws move down the sleeves of the shorts, and his paws pull them upwards. He almost doesn’t want to put in the effort to close the buttons anymore, but the promised increase of this wonderfully tired feeling is too strong.

He closes the buttons of his shorts, collapses back down onto the floormat, his head hitting the cushion. 

And sleeps.

His mind is blank and empty. Not a single thought is left as he sleeps, completely brainwashed and conditioned, deeply hypnotized and utterly obedient.

Sevve waits for all of his teammates to join him in their slumber, and once they’re all fully dressed and asleep, he smiles.

“Good boys. Let the conditioning and suggestions of this session nestle deep into the back of your minds. When you’re with these teammates you are blank. When you’re with these teammates you’re happy. When you’re with these teammates you’re at ease. When you’re with these teammates you are naked. But right now, you sleep. And right now, allow all the memories of this session to fade.” The leopard continues.

Austin can feel his blank mind being toyed with, played with and molded like clay. The memories of being naked are long gone. The memories of the spiral on the tiny circular mirror are fading. The memories of the headphones conditioning him so brilliantly deeply have disappeared. His thoughts have disappeared. Finally, once the last details have faded, a lone finger snap fills the room for one last time.

“Wake.”

The wolf’s eyes shoot open. His mind is still fuzzy, his thoughts warm and slow. He groans as he sits upright and looks around the room. His teammates appear to share his confusion, groggily waking up one by one. He yawns and stretches, unable to recall much from the last hour. That said, there’s a weird, warm feeling in his chest. He can’t shake the feeling that something profoundly positive occurred.

The lack of memories from the hypnosis session do strike him as odd, but he shrugs it off. After all, Sevve is a trained hypnotist – and therefore his hypnosis is most likely significantly stronger and effective than that of Buck and Luc. 

“Well, dear students, that concludes this session. I hope you enjoyed it, and I’ll be seeing you all around!” Sevve says with a knowing grin. 

Austin mutters a quiet “thank you” before making his way out of the classroom and heading back to his room.

~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~


The rest of the week is surprisingly regular. Despite Austin barely having any memories of the meetup with the sports psychologist, he can’t help but feel like it was a deeply positive experience. He feels calmer, more relaxed and more confident. And, the more he asks around, most of his teammates who’d joined him seem to agree.

As the week goes by, Austin finds himself thinking less and less about the notebook he’s visualized in his mind as a result of the hypnosis sessions he had with Luc and Buck. At first, the notebook was still decently full with pages representing his anxiety. But the more he practiced – both hypnosis and baseball – the less pages the book had. Eventually, it stopped showing up in his mind in the first place. A good sign, the wolf hopes.

After one of the many team practices, Austin walks towards the locker rooms together with Sully when the two are suddenly stopped by a voice calling them from behind. They both turn around, and see that it’s the person who scouted them – Zeus. 

The wolf smiles when he looks at the two baseball players, handing them a letter. 

“This one is for you, Austin. And… this one’s yours, Sully! Go ahead and put them in your backpack or whatever. Read it at your own pace. There’s no rush. I just thought I’d give them to you in person rather than toss them beneath your rooms this time! Feels less… anonymous, wouldn’t you say?” the wolf says, before waving them goodbye and turning around, happily walking in the direction of different teammates.

Sully and Austin look at each other with a confused expression, before both tearing into the letter in order to read its contents. The wolf and otter both scan through the letter simultaneously before looking at each other again, this time beaming with happiness.

“I assume we both read the same thing?” The otter says.

Austin nods, unable to stop his tail from wagging. “I guess so!” He says excitedly, taking the time to read through the letter again, out loud this time.

“Dear Austin, we’re happy to announce that you’ve been selected as one of the starting nine students for our upcoming first match in our college league. We expect you to be in top shape for this opening match which happens to be on home ground. The match will be played on yadi yadi yada, you get the idea.” The wolf says.

Sully grins and throws his paw in celebration.

“Nice! So we’re both in the lineup for the first match. That’s awesome!” the otter says. “Though I suppose it was to be expected, since the both of us also got invited for that session with… what’s his name. Sevve?” The otter says.

Austin nods, thinking back to the session with the leopard. 

“I suppose so! When does it say the match is?” Austin asks.

Sully scans through his letter again. 

“Tomorrow! That’s so damn soon! I thought the season formally started next week?” The otter replies. 

Austin shrugs in response. “Does it say who our opponents are?” 

The otter takes another look through the letter, his eyebrow raised. 

“Nope.”

Excitedly, after having had dinner, Austin returns to his room. Buck and Luc happen to both be there as well, engaging in a casual conversation about their recent classes. Simultaneously, they look at Austin and seem to realise that he’s happy about something.

“What’s up, bro?” Buck asks with a smile.

The wolf pumps his fist into the air with a grin. “Your boy got onto the starting team for our first match tomorrow!” He says. 

Both Luc and Buck cheer in unison, giving the wolf a high five each.

“Damn bro, congrats! Well deserved.” Luc exclaims, before a puzzled look appears on his face. “But isn’t tomorrow quite soon?  

Austin shrugs in response.

“Maybe, but it’s fine! I’m ready!”

With that said, the wolf gets into his bed and quickly falls asleep, eager for tomorrow to come. 

~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~


Morning comes around, and Austin is up nice and early. He goes for a quick jog to warm up before hopping into the shower, and then meets up with Sully and his other teammates outside of their field.

The coach gathers the team for a quick huddle and motivation. 

“Alright team, this is gonna be the first real match you get to play. I have the utmost faith in you guys, you’ve all displayed to be very talented. This should be fun! I’ll be meeting up with the principal who’s spectating the match, so I will talk to you guys after the match.” He says.

After completing that sentence, the coach leaves the team behind, left to their own devices, waiting until their time has come. The last few minutes go by quickly as the team discusses strategy. Austin looks around, seeing if the other team has shown up yet, though there are – thus far – no signs of them. That said, it’s game time, so he stretches one last time and clutches his bat. 

Austin steps onto the field, alongside his teammates. As his coach instructed, he would be the first to hit the plate. So, anxiously, he takes hold of the bat and takes position. It’s still very odd to him that he hasn’t seen any rivals yet, so why take position?

Finally, someone does show up to throw ball – and for a second he’s absolutely flabbergasted. It isn’t anyone from a rival team, instead it’s one of his other teammates that didn’t make the cut supposedly. 

His teammate also looks at Austin with the same confusion, and Austin looks back over his shoulder towards the dug-out. Sully meets his gaze immediately and shrugs, just as unsure about what is happening. 

Austin stands up straight again, getting out of position, as he prepares to walk off the field to ask for clarification, when a sound can suddenly be heard from the speakers around the field. It’s a loud buzz of feedback at first, soon replaced by a deep, soothing voice he doesn’t recognize.

“Hello, students. This is your principal speaking. Welcome to your exhibition match.” The voice says.

The wolf looks at the speakers in confusion. He thought this was going to be an official match, not an exhibition match. Why would they make such a big deal about it, formal invitation letter and all? Still, he continues to listen to the speakers.

“I’m sure you must all be quite confused. Don’t worry though, I’m sure this will help.” The principal says over the speakers. 

Austin listens attentively, anticipating some speech that clarifies everything. 

Instead, a loud finger snap can be heard over the speakers. 

A shared silence falls onto the field. Everybody stops talking, murmuring, whispering. Instead, they all go slack-jawed, silent, blank. And so does Austin. His mind grinds to a halt and his full focus is directed towards the voice over the speakers.

“Good boys. You’ve all been trained quite well, I’m assuming. Now, play ball.” The voice says with a smug undertone.  

Immediately, Austin’s body gets into action. He knows what to do. The information had been locked into the depth of his subconsciousness, but now that he’s nice and deep again, he remembers. He’s allowed to remember.

When he’s with these teammates, he is blank. When he’s with these teammates, he’s happy. When Austin is with these teammates, Austin is ease. 

When Austin is with these teammates, Austin has to be naked.

And so, his body obeys. 

His school uniform is tossed onto the wet grass beneath him. His shoes are taken off, allowing his bare footpaws to breathe. His shirt, gone. Pants, gone. Cock freed. 

Austin isn’t alone, either. In the dug-out, his eight teammates are all stripping naked obediently. They’re at ease. They’re happy. They’re blank. They’re naked.

Surprisingly, the pitcher across the field has followed suit, suggesting that they were part of another group of 9 which got the same treatment. Either way, Austin can feel the arousing warmth of being hypnotized settle into his body as he blanky readies up.

Despite him being in a deep trance, horny and naked, ready to obey his principal and play – quite literally – an exhibition match, there’s a sliver of lucidity in the back of his mind. He grins, instinct powering through the hypnosis for a second.

As the pitcher leans back, ready to throw the ball, Austin summons the notebook from Luc’s original suggestion. 

All the pages are gone.
