The Secret Agenda of Mesmer's
Bauble
Mesmer was the first hypnotist. He used the crystal
pendant to hypnotize his patients. The bauble was stolen from a jewelry store, but dropped
by the crooks, and pickedup by a homely record-store clerk, who was obsessed with a sexy
pop singer, Angelica. The bauble granted wishes. Youcould hypnotize someone with it, and
that person would do whatever you ask, but you must kill them. Once dead, the bauble would
grant you any wish, one wish per death. The clerk killed three people, and in the process,
gained goodlooks, all-access concert passes, and the love of Angelica. But it wasn't
enough. The clerk, now working for Angelica as a publicist, wanted to *be*
Angelica. At his apartment, he makes a wish to become Angelica, the two of them melting
together, so the real Angelica turns into a puddle of goo. The new Angelica goes to her
concert, and sings in her place. Micki and Ryan are at the concert, in the mosh pit, when
they see the bauble around Angelicas neck. The bauble must be worn at all times. If
removed, everything goes back to the way it was before you made any wishes. Status: Micki
grabs the bauble as Angelica leans down to sing to the audience. After hideously
impressive special effects, "Angelica" turns back into the ugly store-clerk. The
bauble is returned to the vault, but Micki and Ryan can'thelp but feel guilty for the
death of the pop diva.
