Ask Mike411711, it's his world. I've just been mucking around, waiting for the actual plot to start.<br/><br/>Andalun's widget should work as advertised, as it's based on the same tech as pokeballs. I have thus far been making it up as I went along, it seemed an amusing idea to have a vore version of pokemon. What I supect is that this is a scam, at least sort of.<br/><br/>There is a real pokevore world, and this team of interdimensional schemers is marketing it as advanced virtual reality system via interdimensional interweb. You get in an fully enclosed VR unit, which is actually a oneshot tributary of a gate to the world in a cheap box of electronic junk. You get dumped out with actual gear brought in that world. So you do get the experience, but if you screw up, you don't respawn. And you don't come back. Your gear is recovered via the gate and resold to the next sucker. They've provided help files and advertising, along with fora with other 'players' raving about it to speed sales along. It's profiled to hit chronic loners, who own't be missed, but they cocked up on Andalun's background check.<br/><br/>Unfortunately the gate mechanism went a bit kaka on Andalun, who's got his own planar shift ability. He got shunted sideways into this world. He doesn't realise it but his own bubble powers do still work, including his 'softvore' bubble and planar bubble transport. But until he believes he's learned the ability, by battling, he's not going to try and use it. He may well be rescued by the rest of the Magical Bakery team when they realise he's missing. In the meantime, He's in for a big shock when he finds out that this isn't the pokevore world he was expecting.<br/><br/><span style="font-weight: bold">IC:</span><br/><br/>Andalun frowned. "So, none of this ringing a bell? Wait, Team Rocket over there was carrying a pokeball... So vore isn't a means of capturing pokemon here? Okay, this is screwy. I'm going to log out and call tech support..."<br/><br/>He switched off the hologram and pulled up another function. "Not available? What does that mean?" He was repeatedly setting up a combination. "Work you piece of junk... Great, something's seriously buggered up. I'll have to wait until someone uses the external recall button on the VR unit."<br/><br/>He shrugged. "Well, whatever's happened, This isn't the game where I'm supposed to be. I apologise again. No wonder you were confused. I certainly don't intend to try anything until I figure out how to fix it. As for it being a game, it isn't a game to you, so I'll treat it the same way. Reality is kind of a slippery concept."
