A relaxations detour.

"Well Katherine I'm going to put you into a trance and levitate you." Julie said, explaining what was planned for her next trick. "Or do you think yourself too smart to be hypnotized?"

[Deleted]

"Yes, actually" Katherine said "I've been to allot of magic shows, and they've never really managed to hypnotized me" she smiled like she had won a game or something along those lines.

[observer]

"Well then I want you to stand right over here and try NOT to be hypnotized." Julie smiled, gesturing to a spot center stage. Walking over to the spot with confidence Katherine looked out at the crowd with her big smile. "Now Katherine I want you to look deep into my eyes." Julie said, looking focused at the girl, her eyes starting to glow as Katherine made eye contact.

[Deleted]

Sure of herself and her ability not to be hypnotized, she looked into Julie's eyes. She was smiling, showing off her high self esteem, ironically it weren't long before she was under Julie's control.
Heckner wished he didn't have to witness this. Hell, as it was right now, he started reconsidering Julie as the one he had given gluttony. And not before now he noticed something, gluttony wasn't here, neither was the two giants people had talked about. The more he thought about it, the more skeptical he grew, he tried to forget his suspicion, and convince himself that Julie in the end would help him, and then later he could help the people she had transformed.

[observer]

As Julie finished putting the girl to sleep she started to lay her back, causing Katherine to float as she fell back. While Julie was doing this gluttony was happily watching from her shadow. It only had to use a bit of its power to keep her under control, looking forward to getting revenge on Heckner. However it couldn't help noticing the absence of the two giants as well. It knew without the one giant its chance of escaping to take over the world were very slim.

[Deleted]

Heckner shortly after had managed to convince herself. And started paying more attention to the show, it was still enjoyable to her, even though she knew that it wasn't any illusions or tricks, just gluttony's powers helping her.

[observer]

Julie lifted up the ring and started to pass Katherine through it. The crowd and Heckner watched as whatever part of Katherine passed through the ring was instantly fattened up. After one full pass through the ring Katherine was easily fatter than Julie. Smiling she flipped the ring around and passed Katherine through it again, her body not changing but barely fitting through this time around. With a wave of her hand Katherine returned to standing. "Now Katie, when I snap my fingers you will wake up with no memory of having ever been hypnotized or change in weight." Julie smiled, holding up a hand.

[Deleted]

Heckner wanted to protest, but didn't, she was sure that Julie would keep her end of the bargain, and that Heckner would be able to help them afterwards.
When Julie snapped her fingers, Katherine first seemed a little confused before she victoriously exclaimed, smiling "See? I cannot be hypnotized"
As people applauded and the ones on the stage bowed, Heckner could feel the final part of the show was comming, he hoped it would involve the giants, and more importantly (to him at least) It would restore his powers.

[observer]

"Well everyone we're getting close to the end of the show." Julie said to the crowd, her arms held up and out. "For my next trick I'm going to need the help of my beautiful assistant." She said, sounding a bit different as a spot light shined on Heckner.

Gluttony cursed to itself. It could sense the hesitation in Julie to continue with the plan for the former blind man. It was forced to take more control of her if it wanted to alter Heckner's mind to match his new body. Waving her hand it made a fancy looking box big enough to fit Heckner's new form appear.

[Deleted]

Heckner couldn't help but thinking she was slightly naive by willingly stepping into the box, but she had no other choice, so she felt anyway.
She couldn't sense if gluttony was here, or not however.
She took a deep breath and stepped into the big box.

[observer]

"Now as all of you can see this is just an ordinary box." Julie said, using her powers to slowly spin the box around. Once Heckner was facing the audience again Julie started explaining what she had planned. "Now I'm sure most of you know this trick, but for those who don't I'm going to make my assistant disappear, then make her magically reappear." She said, starting to close the door. As the door was closing though Heckner thought she'd seen Bob and Sasha in the crowd.

[Deleted]

She could hear the crowd cheer outside, she almost felt like the hippo in the cage, not knowing what was soon going to happen to her, or exactly what twist Julie had planned.
And what was it really Bob and Sasha she had seen? Where they here aswel? could they help her if something went wrong? Sasha would probably enjoy Heckner's new shape.
All she could do was to trust Julie, And hope gluttony would not be involved.

[observer]

Julie began chanting some words in another language, some of which Heckner recognized. Suddenly Heckner could see a light and some kind of path in front of her, no longer in the box or able to hear the talking of the crowd.

[Deleted]

"Hello?" Heckner tried, just to see if he would get a response, but nobody was here but him, so it seemed anyway.
He started walking down the path, since it seemed like the only thing she could do.

[observer]

As Heckner got to the end of the dark path he found the light was from a fancy looking room. The floor and walls reminded Heckner of the restaurant, the lights on the 3 walls just as expensive and beautiful. The wall directly across from Heckner though was a full length mirror, reflecting back the room and Heckner. The only piece of furniture though was a table full of food.
