《Parental Controls》Chapter 6.9 Hypnotist
Advertisement
Reeve bent at the waist, winded, a hand resting on one knee. That had gone a lot better than it could have, she thought. She was still recovering from the exertion, but she wanted to get them all out. Now.
She stood. After a quick mental check with Nyx, who was covered in injuries but nothing Reeve wouldn’t be able to help her heal next time they were in the MMO, Reeve strode to join her parents. Her mother was frowning as she again tied her father’s suspenders back together.
“Hey, Mom. We need your help to log out of the game.”
Wanda frowned slightly, and Reeve couldn’t tell whether from concentration or something else.
“Shouldn’t we check on those ladies up there?” Wanda said. “You shot one of them with an arrow, didn’t you?”
“No…I…that wasn’t…Dad…look, it doesn’t matter, they’re not real, we just need to get out of here.”
Wanda glanced up at the two half-elves high above them. The uninjured half-elf crouched over the other, and golden light was reflecting off both them and the cliff face behind them. “I can see from here they’re not real, Reeve, but that doesn’t mean we should just abandon those poor girls.”
“No, no, that’s not what I meant. I mean they’re part of the game, they’re NPCs. Look, can you please try logging out, and then we can talk about this back home?”
Wanda finished tying the suspenders, placed her dwarven hands on her waist, and raised and arched her eyebrows in a manner Reeve immediately recognized, from a lot of prior experience, as parental skepticism. “OK, Reeve. What is it you need me to try?”
“Thank you, Mom. Do you know how to access your U…User Interface? It’s a bunch of windows that can pop into view.”

“All this?” Wanda said, circling both hands through the air in opposite directions in a way that reminded Reeve of the wax-on, wax-off scene from that old karate movie.
Reeve looked at her mother, confused. “It’s already open?”
“You can make it go away?” Wanda said.
“You’ve been playing for more than a day with your UI open?”
Wanda opened her mouth to speak, and Reeve realized she needed to avoid any sidetracks, however small. “You know what, never mind. It’s open, that’s great. Do you know where the ‘Log out’ option is?”
“Mija, I know where everything here is. I’ve been staring at it or through it since yesterday.”
“That’s impressive, Hon’,” Walter said. “Took me more than a little while to find my way around in there. You should have seen me trying to find my Class.”
“That?” Wanda said. “I’m a Hypnotist.”
“Apiculturist,” Walter said. Then, in a low, explanatory tone, “Beekeeper.”
“Hypnotist?” Reeve said. “Why would you…,” she looked back toward the unseen trail they’d traveled, “…though that might explain why a Kobold Scout didn’t brain you.” She looked around them slowly. “Or why a whole camp would ignore you.” Reeve shook her head and snapped her fingers in front of her own face. “Staying focused. Mom, please, just try logging out so that—“
Wanda William’s dwarf avatar suddenly disappeared.
Wanda has left the game.

8 80Mo'arka e karbala
BISMILLAH HIR-RAHMAN NIR-RAHIM. Assalamu alaikum wa rahmatullah; Duniya me aise bahot se waqiyat aur haadse guzre hain jo insaniyat aur sharafat ke naam par badnuma daag hain. Jin ki yaad kuch waqt tak baqi rehti hai phir khatm ho jati hai.Lekin HAADSA-E-KARBALA ek aisa dard naak waqiya hai, aur is me aisi darindgi aur wehshi pan tha ke is ki yaad zamana bhi na mita saka. Balki aaj 1350 saal guzarne par bhi is ki yaad taaza hai.Is ki wajah ye hai ki Hazrat Imam Husain(r.a) ne dashte karbala me jis sabr, shuja'at aur himmat ka sabut diya hai, us ki nazir(misal) nahi milti. Aap par intehai be-rehmana aur wehshiyana zulm kiye gaye. lekin Aap ne sachai ka sath nahi chhoda, ALLAH SUB'HANAHU ko Aap ki mazlumi, be-kasi, aur be-chargi aisi pasand aai ke Aap ka zikr baaki rakha aur In sha ALLAH qayamat tak baaqi rahega.Bhook pyas ki shiddat, azizon ki maut ka sadma, aurton ki be-hurmati ka khayal ye sab baatain sabr aazma thi. Magar Aap ne har sadma har taklif ko bardasht kiya. Aap kis daur se guzar rahe honge is ka andaza lagana bhi mushkil hai. Yaqinan ye waqiya dil toh kya ruh tak ko jhinjod kar rakh dene wala hai, Lekin logon ne is ki Asliyat ko nahi samjha ya toh Husn-e-aqidat me doob kar asliyat ka inkaar karne lage. Logon ne aisi riwayatein gadhli hain jinka koi wajud hi nahi tha.Is qisse "Mo'arka-e-karbala" ko Husne aqidat se likha gaya hai, is me koi andhi taqlid ya gair taarikhi waaqiya shamil nahi hai. Balki jahan tak mumkin hosaka hai galat riwayaton ki tardid ki gai hai. Hamara maqsad logon ko sahi waqiyat se waqif karana hai. "Ma'arka-e-karbala" Author: Maulana Muhammad Sadiq Husain Sardhanvi.Aap tak pahonchane ki koshish : ف۔ش۔
