I encourage you to feel free to visit the other Masterminds in their respective territories in the city and have a good time. \n\nLastly, we now turn to Master Kai Tyde in regards to the street urchin event aftermath. Are you with us, Master Kai Tyde?[/i]\n\n[b][i]Loud and clear, ladydude! [/i][/b]\n\n[i]aheh. With the festivities coming to a conclusion, Many of us are wondering what will become of Penance, considering his volatility caused a few issues during the proceedings?\n\n[b]Listen, some people gotta party hardier than others. Penance is a spicy guy, but some people like that. We'll encourage him to get his own little slice of heaven somewhere in focault and put up some signs if he decides he wants to stick around or retire. but till then, he's got some baggage to sort out.[/b]\n[/i]\n\n[i]Do you feel that Dropset was given an unfair disadvantage by not being aware he was taking part in a hypnosis themed competition.

We told him like six times. he's LITERALLY in a hypnosis themed simulation how the hell did he get in here if he didn't sign the waiver?[/i][/b]\n\n[i]Is it entirely possible he didn't read the terms of service or the disclaimer?[/i]\n\n[b][i]...Oh my god. *he yells off camera* BRO!

Seeing as that we just had a smaller scale event involving cognizant's territory for the Focault. Is it possible we might see more in the future? \n\n[b]Totes, Miss Floreana. Cognizant's meant to be a place for role playing, brain scrambling fun.

I want to thank the Cognizant Discord for maintaining their fun and engagement even as I scramble to keep my life stable. I want to thank you for reading these stories and continue to support my ideas. And I want to thank all the artists who took part in hypnovember.

Miss Diss

The Digital Exchange tower at 1st and 3rd was a display of opulence and pristine light in the Focault. at night, the neon lights would hit it in such a way that set the city aglow. refracting off its polished mirror windows at the right angles to launch the lights into the sky. Perfect for Miss Diss' Pastels to tag with a large enough mural for half the city to see!  It was one of the higher traffic areas of the Focault so Diss had to be careful not to anger the authorities until it was time for the chase.

her neon tail flit back and forth excitedly before brushing her hair back under her beanie. wiggling her hips to wind up for the skate of her life. "We ready Pastels?!" She cried out to the dozen or so blitzed out goons she had in her thrall. pulsing eyes and stained faces giggling before fist pumping in the air. The sound of their roller blades echoed through the alley way. wall rides and flips showing how thrilled they were to be alive.  The tag was to be a mural of Miss Diss on Her knees. arms behind her head and giving a kissy expression to the viewer. as if the entire building was to be a big pinup of her. However, something strange happened the moment they arrived at the Digital Exchange.

The sun went down... the neon lights came up. and the lights all projected....the news.

No, not exactly the news. It was that reporter Frida. what was she doing?

"Good evening Focault, we have a breaking report. The graffiti gang Pastels has been spotten at the Digital exchange. and they're getting slower."

What the hell? She made them? how did she know they were going to hit this place tonight? She's a talking head!

"We bring you a live report of how the Pastels are getting slower. and more easy to deduce their targets. and how helpless they are to the inevitability of vandalism being transient art."

Miss diss glided along the street looking up at Miss Frida projecting on the building. her pupils dilated.... Frida's chest was out. glowing intensely as she looked at the screen. It wasn't a broadcast. It was a message laser targeted for Miss Diss.

Her pastels were already slowing to a stop to stare up at the screen. the spray that hypnotized them made them lovely thralls, but that didn't mean they were immune to the influence of others completely.

and being legit with her commentary against Rockjaw would make him extra mad, right?

Penance and Dropset


It was a bit of a gamble, but the rat was getting tired of his men being mistaken for that gymweasel's nonsensical body positive messaging. Each time he tried to take a block, he had to waste time explaining his Blaeds weren't those fucking himbos offering gym membership or whatever the hell they were on about. He had to come in on Dropset hard. The guy was an idiot anyway, what was he going to against a powerhouse like him?

The door to the gym was kicked in by Penance's goons. who looked uneasy at his side when the rat yelled out.

"DROPSET! Get out here yeh git!" The two goons, a bull and a gator tapped their fingers as they looked at their boss.

"uhm...Boss do you think it's a good idea to just attack him outright? h-he's got a lot of people here."
"This is why you dum dums only speak when spoken to. now look tough, I gotta gym rat ta stare down."

The two boys tightened their postures and rolled their shoulder back, practicing their growling faces as Dropset slid down the stair railing.

"EYYY! Wa Gwan, mi Dimmunative BruvyBruv? Yeh tinkin' ya wanna get CRENG!?" The hyena flicked his mohawk back with a stroke only for it to snap back to full height.

"Ya know goddamn well wot I'm 'tinkin', you thickie. yeh 'crengs' been messin with my brand. I'm callin you out."

"I'm already here, bud! How's about a set or two?"

"it-fuckin- are you daft? Yer in a world of trouble mate!"  Penance marched closer to the huge hyena and the intense stare of his gaze started to glow and fill the room with red light. The Blaeds looked away but puffed their chests out tighter.  

"Yer gonna be at my feet and you're gonna like it, just like everyone else in this town."  Penance growled. His gaze never faltered, never failed, never ceased to obliterate the minds of those that would witness it. The Hyena would be his. HIS. and no one else's.

At least that what he thought until Dropset rested the ridiculous shelf he called pecs atop the rat's head.

"h-hey! What the?!"

"Hihihihi dunno wat ya doin down dere, mi bruddah, but ya got soft locks ah'll give ya dat!"  The idiot was so stacked he couldn't even see penance. How the hell was this idiot outmaneuvering him.  The hyena turned to flex and bounce his chest, lightly tapping the rat's head with those pecs.

"oooh feel dat. like bouncin on clouds. You gotta tell me yah hair products, brudda!"

"GET OFF ME. Blaeds! Take this wanker!" He pushed the hyena away, but the two goons were already staring at Dropset's huge badonkers. eyes dilating as their postures got a little tighter.

"Y-yess sir.. .just as soon as....uh..." they came closer to try and pin down the hyena, only for each to grab one arm of the big guy and trap penance in between. The two goons drooling as they held him tight. they were obedient enough to do as they were told. but those pecs made everything so hard to comprehend.

"Not with me in between you idiots!"

"aw c'mon brudda. You don't get tempted ta sample yer boys? it'll be a good time. we can get huge togedda!"

Already the small rat was getting pinned in place by his own guys, and his own hubris. Any more and it was likely he'd get stuck staring up at those undulating stupid pectorals and get roped into doing some plate.


And then the entrance to the gym chimed. It was like instinct. Dropset easily shook off the goons and strode forward in pride.

"Welcome, newbie! Can I interest you in a bit o' one on one training?"

Penance spun around and pulled out a switchblade. Panting heavily in impotent outrage.

"How DARE you ignore me! I'm the head of the Blaeds! I've had SOLDIERS bend the knee to me!"

He charged forward, only to slowly come to a stop  right beside Dropset at the sight of the new guest in the room.

Frida Floreana, in the flesh. With her chest already out, glowing intensely before the rat or the hyena even had a chance to show off their own goods.

"Do we have time for an interview?"

LIVE, From Cognizant Information Network, It's the Cognition Report, with two time award winning Anchorwoman Frida Floreana!


Buenas Noches, Everyone. Our top story: Street Urchins comes to a close.  While participation was on a much smaller scale compared to the vast breadth of engagement the previous year, people seem to be relatively pleased with the more humble turnout. Focault has had a surprising upturn of events with the unlikely underdog....me... winning out in the end.  and the competition has taken this in grace.

Kate Tee also known by the Alias "Miss Diss" has started to working on a new art project in the downtown area. Thanks to a generous donation, The Pastels now have the rights to the Logarithm building on 6th and 8th, which they will be turning into an artistic commune available to the public to have, quote "Their eyes swirling in tie dye. Best of luck to her and her talented artists!

Tate 'Penance' Stire has decided to take the time to undergo some well needed therapy at the Bridgetown Falls overlook restitution and rehabilitation center. Where he is working through his anger issues. Officer Rockjaw is supervising his recovery, and the Blaeds are eager to... ahem "have their boss reprimand them when he gets out."

...

Moving on.

And finally, one of the more popular members of the Street Urchins, Dropset Aka, Dale Matherson congratulated me after a long interview talking about his work at Drakon's Gym.  He plans to turn the gym into a full chain both in Cognizant and in the real world. wanting to promote body positivity to all who seek to better themselves. I asked him if he had regrets losing the Street Urchins Hypnovember event.

"Wait hypnosis isn't real right? would be sick if it was, I wouldda had a BLAST gettin' mah brain scrambled."
"You....realize you've been staring at my chest this whole time, hun."
"yeeeh. gotta rack bigga than mine, game respectin game, mistress!"

*Frida rubs her temples slowly.*

It's....clear that my victory was one more of luck than a great deal of talent. but I am honored to be considered the new Mastermind of Focault. It will be my mission to make sure the center of Cognizant is a place of mental positivity, good times, and pure joy. I also would like to extend thanks to Master Kai Tyde for permitting me to continue my broadcasts trance free at my request. I encourage you to feel free to visit the other Masterminds in their respective territories in the city and have a good time.

Lastly, we now turn to Master Kai Tyde in regards to the street urchin event aftermath. Are you with us, Master Kai Tyde?

Loud and clear, ladydude!

aheh. With the festivities coming to a conclusion, Many of us are wondering what will become of Penance, considering his volatility caused a few issues during the proceedings?

Listen, some people gotta party hardier than others. Penance is a spicy guy, but some people like that. We'll encourage him to get his own little slice of heaven somewhere in focault and put up some signs if he decides he wants to stick around or retire. but till then, he's got some baggage to sort out.


Do you feel that Dropset was given an unfair disadvantage by not being aware he was taking part in a hypnosis themed competition.

Wait he didn't know!? We told him like six times. he's LITERALLY in a hypnosis themed simulation how the hell did he get in here if he didn't sign the waiver?

Is it entirely possible he didn't read the terms of service or the disclaimer?

...Oh my god. *he yells off camera* BRO! We got a loophole we gotta close up!


Speaking of which. It's been almost a year since we had heard from Darkwitt in Cognizant, Some have expressed he has abandoned the project. Any comment on that?

Mr. Darkwitt has been engaged elsewhere on business and has entrusted me to manage the affairs of Cognizant. He always intended to establish this place and manage from afar, hence why the Mastermind idea!

So where is he now?

As I mentioned. engaged elsewhere.

any idea where 'elsewhere' is, Mr. Tyde?
*The dragon's eyes briefly flicker*

Mr. Darkwitt's affairs are mercurial and delicate, Ms. Floreana. It would be unprofessional to air out his itinerary on public broadcast.

Uh... final question, Mr. Tyde. Seeing as that we just had a smaller scale event involving cognizant's territory for the Focault. Is it possible we might see more in the future?

Totes, Miss Floreana. Cognizant's meant to be a place for role playing, brain scrambling fun. While we don't have the budget for as grand a proceeding every year. we've got tons of other places in need of Masterminds to draw attention to them!


Do you happen to know where we will be covering next?

Grab your beach towels and your lucky shades! Next year we're going to the resort region of Ayurveda for Hypnovember: Swirls in Paradise!

There you have it folks. Be on the look out for Hypnovember: Swirls in paradise same time next year.

Until then, this is Frida Floreana, Signing off.

I am sorry for being late. the last two months have been.... mercurial and delicate. I've bene given an incredible job opportunity In the SFW world and another that will be announced momentarily. but since it all happened at the same time, all of my work had to be shelved and reorganized. even sitting down to write this story was an unconscionable three day affair.  I want to thank the Cognizant Discord for maintaining their fun and engagement even as I scramble to keep my life stable.  I want to thank you for reading these stories and continue to support my ideas. And I want to thank all the artists who took part in hypnovember. I don't think I could ever do a full hosting anytime in the future, but these smaller versions are much more manageable.
