Nothing of significance occurred leading up to lunch break, though you did have a couple coworkers exchange small-talk with you. After you met up with Ace and Kris, you all headed out using the elevator. You mentioned that you had to go backwards down stairs, which provoked Ace to try convincing you to take the stairs, but there was no way you’d be doing that with them in front of or behind you. He complained about the speed of the elevator slowing down, but Kris reminded him that your new size meant the downshifted gears would snap.
Lunch was another slightly awkward event, as you bought a light lunch with a huge drink to be part of the group, then chowed down on your daily disk anyways. What was a relatively cheap lunch compared to before the operation, became painfully pricey when compared to your new potential food options. While you liked the change in flavor, it wasn’t like you tasted much when you could down a burger in seconds. Sure, it was a few extra calories, but you weren’t going to do fractions to figure out how much of a disk you should toss out.
“Jesus, you’ve actually got cow guts if you can eat that giant hunk of grass clippings.”
“Actually, I’ve got cow and a few other animals, to prevent me from needing to do the whole cud-chewing thing.”
“Huh. Sounds like some pretty fancy genework.”
You nod. “I have to eat 9 of them a day, or find some other way to get somewhere around 30,000 calories without getting malnourished.”
Kris’s eyes go wide. “Woah, that’s a lot. Must be a nightmare on your wallet.”
“Nah, the disks cost a total of 4 dollars a day. ‘Grass clippings’ are pretty cheap, apparently.”
Your coworkers continued to have surprised expressions, but went back to eating their meals. Once the food was done, you led them to the New You parlor that had started all this.
Approaching the front desk, you see a familiar salesman nearby. “Hey Gary!”
Gary looks confused for a bit, probably because he never saw what you finalized, before realization dawned and he approached. “Hey, you’re the FF modpack guy! What are you doing here? You’re definitely not out of the instability period!”
You gesture to Ace and Kris. “Can we get a VR station? I want to show them one of the reasons why I picked this.”
His eyebrows raised. “Sure! You can have room 3 for, say, 15 minutes or so!” He quickly approached your coworkers, shaking each of their hands. “If either of you decide to pick up anything, be sure to ask the lady at the front desk for an appointment with Gary, so we can hash out the specifics.” He turns back to you.
Ace gave a beaming smile. “Thanks, will do!” As the salesman leaves, Ace continues just loudly enough for your group, “Always on the grind, gotta love the sales guys.”
Even with this being your first time hooking in while in your new shape, your months of experience caused you to be the first to enter the VR room. Within seconds, Ace and Kris popped into existence around you.
“Alright, first things first, you need to be given a similar form to mine.” You navigate the settings, then toggle both of them to a minimal modpack so their upper halves are unaffected.
Kris plodded in place, causing his cow half to jiggle. “Woah, this feels incredibly weird. Why are we still human from the waist up?”
Ace attempted to walk, but moved both his left legs, resulting in him immediately falling onto his side. He scrambled back up. “How the hell do you walk like this?”
“The modpack has some specific parts that cannot be modified, but the upper body and skin-deep parts don’t matter so you can keep it human. I just felt like my human half didn’t fit too well on my cow half. Walking gets better with practice.”
Ace squinted his eyes, then patted down the connecting point. “Yeah, that makes sense. I do feel a little...Small? Compared to myself? Ah well, what is it that you wanted to show us so bad?”
You navigate to the relief station simulation, make sure you’re not one of the subjects targeted for it, then click apply. “Oh, it’s just this funny little simulation of a milking session.”
“Wh-” was about as far as Ace could get before the machine materialized and began its collection cycle.
It honestly wasn’t as funny as you’d built it up in your mind. Both of them looked like they were having the time of their lives, with Kris looking like he was in some kind of deep meditation while Ace was constantly pawing with one of his four legs.
As the milkers powered down, Kris was first to speak up. “Damn, that was one fucking awesome blowjob.”
You smile. “Yeah, I get to have two of those every day.”
“And they feel as good as the simulation?”
“The morning ones feel even better than the sim.”
“Why didn’t you just get a regular udder instead of all the extra equipment?”
“This is the only model New You makes that’s milkable. You need enough organs to process the milk into a consistent flavor, and a bipedal body doesn’t have the space.”
Ace began to laugh maniacally. “This is perfect! You found the secret blowjob option for these parlor VR stations!”
“Uh, Ace, they don’t just let anyone browse with VR.”
“Nah, I’m not talking about personal use. This is the perfect kind of thing to create a viral movement. Maybe turn it into a trend!”
Kris gave a short nod. “True, he’s got a good point. I’m going to remember to add something like this when I get my own neural VR system. And since physics don’t need to matter in VR, I won’t need to be a cow.”
A devilish smile crosses Ace’s lips. “There’s more than one guy at work that I’d bet dollars to donuts they’d pick this up.”
You’re simultaneously surprised and not surprised by their reactions. There was some distant piece of you that wanted to see at least one of them pick up the modpack. It would’ve been dishonest to think someone would throw away a body they love for a body they hate but it gets a blowjob.their body for a blowjob. On the other hand, you never expected Ace to come to this conclusion.
After getting out of VR and heading back to the office, you couldn’t help but wonder if you’d made a mistake.
