The hypnomechanical theater whirs to life, spinning and humming. For a moment you see panels open up on the machine and then the world of ancient troy leaps to life around you! You'd almost (but not quite) swear you're actually fighting Achilles! Even Anne did better than average job at her lines. Sure you ad libed the script a bit but they'll get the point, it's not like they'll ever read it to know the difference.
Brisbane is completely immersed, for a while, there is no other world but what is in the play. Richards sees the scenes but he can tell it's an illusion, he can feel that it's not real.
The play ends, the crowd cheers and claps. The funny thing is, you're not sure if they understood any of it, but they still seemed to love it.
Mr. Paes pushes back stage again, but this time he walks right past Paddington. "Helen! You must come back with me! You are the most beautiful woman in all the world!"
For some reason the hypnosis didn't wear off of him when the play ended. He grabs Anne by the wrist and starts to pull her towards him, trying to kiss her. She resists and does prove herself a tough young lady because she actually pushes him away. He falls backward but gets back up and continues to go after her. What do you do?
