So you want to make your player or your reader to do something specifically or to think something specifically. How can you do it? Do you first make remote mind controller? No. Save yourself the money, and save yourself the stress of having to build that kind of a machine. There is another way to control a player's or reader's mind. It's called the "controlling idea".
Think of the movie inception, but take out all the epic sci-fi of someone going into another's mind, and put you and another person logged into Fanpop in two different parts of the world. With a controlling idea, what you do is prime the player's or reader's mind to have certain thoughts. All of our brains hate gaps, so they either try to fill in the gap, or compel the person the mind belongs to to seek out answers. What does this mean? Naturally, they will attempt to predict what you're trying to pull, but if that fails, then they will take action and fall right into your... umm... "trap", I should say.
Here's how it works:
You're host, and you have someone playing a... say... mystery RPG, and you tell them that they "are in a room that is dark, but not pitch black." Right there, that implies that there must be some kind of light pinagmulan somewhere, but the player won't prioritize that first as they... May not think that, ibingiay that... It's kind of not important whether or not the room is lit (unless you make it important).
Afterwards, you write "and there is a door." This one is the juicy one. Say I placed a Pirrhana Plant behind the door, but it's sleeping. Naturally, like a blind mouse, the player will go to the door, and try to open it. When they do, the Plant will have something to eat. (Hehehe...)
Now in an article, here's how it works.
If you say "oh, that konsiyerto was terrible," but haven't ibingiay any information about how our why the konsiyerto was terrible, that is what they will ask themselves. Try to predict why? Could be a multitude of things, so they fail at predicting and keep pagbaba looking for answers. Also, if information is implied but not exactly stated, you can have a bit of fun with that too.
"There were sounds of pleasurable intercourse coming from the susunod room. Out of curiosity, or out of his sheer pervertedness, he opened the door, revealing a CD player with that soundtrack set on loop."
So, what did you think I had in that room before I told you it was a CD player, you dirty minded person?
And that, my friends, is how you control the minds of your players and readers.
Sayonara!

Fly on the wings of love
Fly baby fly
Reaching the stars above
Touching the sky
In the summer night
When the moon shines bright
Feeling pag-ibig forever
And the heat is on
When the daylight is gone
Still - happy together
There is just one madami thing I would like to add
She is the greatest pag-ibig I've ever had
Fly on the wings of love
Fly baby fly
Reaching the stars above
Touching the sky
And as time goes by
There is a lot to try
And I'm feeling lucky ooo yea
In the softest sand
Smiling hand in hand
pag-ibig is all around me
There's just one madami thing I would like to add
She is the greatest pag-ibig I've ever had
Fly on the wings of love
Fly baby fly
Reaching the stars above
Touching the sky.

A Week Later...
Miles and Zoey are asleep when there is a knock at the door. Erica walks to the door and opens it "West your home! "Where are the kids?"
"Asleep why"
"I need to tell you something about Miles"
Miles wakes up and went to get a cup of water then he heard the conversation so he started eavesdroping.
"One of the Doctors told me about Miles blood work, he has a trace of chaos power"
"As in chaos Esmeralda power?"
"Yes... he has powers others can only dream of"
"Miles, our son, is a living chaos emerald"
"basically, yes i know this is a lot to take in so lets go get some sleep"
Miles hurried into his room and acted like he was sleeping. West walks to Miles room"I know your not sleeping Miles" Miles sits up in his kama "Is it true dad?"
"Yes, you do have special powers son but the tanong is what will you do with them?"

In honour of the Horn of Gripey Justice, I propose a scenario article, in place of a scenario question. Go!

Walking down the kalye is a woman dressed in pale blue with a parasol and a purse, who smiles at the passing people.
Following closely behind is a man in a white balabal weilding a halberd, which glints wickedly.
Seemingly unexpectant and helpless, the woman may need help.
Though, depending on your character's alignment, he or she may do something... different.
***
The roleplay will function like a real street, with many people. But, I suppose that was implied.
Have fun, and keep it PG-13.

Yxari is a Scorpio. Somehow, I'm freaked out at the coincidences. I, in the beginning, made her birthday November the 1st--Scorpio territory-- before even pagbaba Homestuck. I did not know any astrological dates whatsoever, I had yet to find out what sign she was. At the time, I didn't care. So I created Ana-Lysa, giving her metal hands and such. I read Homestuck. Vriska Serket's arm is mechanical-- Ana-Lysa's hands. Vriska is sometimes ruthless and cold-- Yxari's attitude. Vriska's puffy hair-- Yxari's puffy hair. Mindfang's a bitch, so is Ana-Lysa.
What a string of coincidences, eh? I just now-- well, a few hours ago, looked up Yxari's sign. I'm freaked out, since my mother and I are litterally psychic.
