Lorna was sure she'd made the FedEx guy's day when she gave him a giant hug for delivering the answer to her thus-far horrible day. She took in the one large box, her red nails sliding across it as a smile overtook her face. She signed his pad and gave him a kiss on the cheek. Just before he was about to ask her what she was doing tonight, she said "Thank you!" and closed the door in his face.
She couldn't believe it. It was even dark red with black stripes, the exact suit she'd been hoping for. She looked over the small TV-sized box, and saw the "Mac/PC Compatible" square there. She actually "squeed" aloud and then looked around to make sure no one was watching... no hidden cameras. All I need is for this to be some cruel joke, she thought to herself, considering her day.
She hurriedly took the large while box to her room and pulled her Swiss Army Knife out of her purse, using the blade there to cut the packaging tape across the top very carefully. Once done, she took in a breath and opened up the box to dig inside through all the peanuts to find her prize.
She pulled it out one piece at a time... the lower half, the upper half, the two gloves, the eye and ear piece, and the overhead mask. In her head, the image of a gimp outfit appeared in for just a moment before she shook her head to force it away. She ran her hands over the smooth material, resting them on the upper body bit, curious as to if it would fit her. It has to, she thought, Even that slack bastard must know my size. she considered. Sure enough, there was a special-made TEU-bra at the bottom of the box, made to her size.
Lorna pulled out the instructions after she closed and locked her door and made sure her blinds were shut. She took off her shirt as she began to read how the suit worked, but it all ended up sounding pretty straight forward. About the only things that sounded strange was a tube that apparently served a purpose between tampon and dildo. She had wondered how she missed that piece of information on the websites she had read.
Regardless, Lorna finished undressing while using her right hand to click around on The PHUKing Forums, checking to see if anything else had developed today from what Mel had said. It didn't seem to. Everyone's characters were swapped around, and she had no idea what she might be able to play today. She opened up the game from her Dock and waited for it to load.
She inserted the device and made sure it was secure, then slide on the lower half of the TEU-suit. She put on the bra, and it held her breasts firm and fairly still, almost better than her real bra. Her nipples sat cushioned inside of soft lumps inside the breasts, and she made sure the soft latch in the back was done correctly. She slid on the upper portion, put on the surround sound headphones and 3D goggles, making sure the microphone sat comfortably just to the side of her mouth. She slid on the gloves, slid over the full head mask, and took a deep breath as she put her hands together, turning on the suit as described in the manual.
It was amazing. Lorna found herself standing in a pavilion of sorts that closely resembled the 2D background she was use to finding on the Character Select Screen. The difference here was that she could taste the salt water air, and smell the rose bushes just outside the window. Her body was gone, all but a single floating white glove of her right hand, presumably used to interact with the sculptures along the row.
She looked up and down her choices, none of which were her own. The anthropomorphic Snow Leopard female seemed oddly appropriate, though she still had the chance to try so many things for real like she'd never had before. There was a Warthog Police Man standing on one of the stands just up the path. He had a large gut, and looked like someone was trying to make a 'cops are pigs' jokes, but the idea of playing a fat man-pig seemed just a far from her normal as could be. It might be interesting.
There were other choices, to be sure, but she couldn't decide what to try first. Something close to her normal, but now in Total Emersion... or could Lorna Williams bring herself to try something as far from who she was in real life as she could?
