Her feet arched high on heeled boots, the lovely Fighter's greatsword hummed as it hissed through the air...Cutting down minions almost in passing, crimson hair framing her lovely features as her form carved a path through the swirling smoke.<br/><br/>And<em>what</em>a form it was. In her tight green jerkin - long, lovely legs sheathed in creamy-white stockings, rapidly becoming damp with sweat - Syndella's full bosom heaved, her big green eyes narrowed in concentration as the virtual vixen brought her sword up to parry! She'd been dropped<em>right</em>into the thick of things, and one thing was for sure...<br/><br/>-she was getting her money's worth.<br/><br/>She'd thought it was a scam, at the start. From a thousand dollars to a hundred? Something<em>had</em>to be wrong, there...But she'd booted up the game anyway, with a healthy sense of caution - Only to be very, very surprised indeed! She'd expected a virus at worse, some shoddy knockoff at best...but this was the real thing. Almost<em>too</em>real, in fact...She could<em>feel</em>everything, from the rise and fall of her full bosom, the<em>creak</em>of her tight leather bodice, struggling to hold her curves in check - Even the feel of sweat beading on her creamy skin!<br/><br/>More, she wasn't alone. Fifteen other women (<em>all</em>women, part of her couldn't help but notice) were doing exactly the same thing...Battling their way forward, or otherwise taking stock of<em>exactly</em>what they'd been plunged into. But the prize, of course, would go to the last one standing - Or, failing that, the one who put on the<em>very</em>best show.<br/><br/>And that was exactly what Callie - No,<em>Syndella</em>- had come to do. With more than a dozen virtual beauties on display - All embroiled in the swirling melee! - it'd probably come as some surprise that Syndella wasn't a million miles from Callie. Sure, her lovely avatar had crimson hair to Callie's pale bangs, green eyes to her violet...But their curves were very,<em>very</em>much the same.<br/><br/>She didn't have time to linger on how<em>natural</em>this felt, to marvel on how adroitly the game was converting her every thought to action - without the slight lag that came with a less optimized rig. No, it was as if she was *really* here...With an audience of hundreds, to see how things would go down!<br/><br/>Slim finger curled around the hilt of her sword, as she swung again - buying herself precious seconds, to see the progress she'd made - and, more importantly, how the others were doing!
