Her midnight hair framed her lovely features, her expression oh-so-thoughtful as her deep blue eyes lingered on the brief note...<br/><br/>-So this was what her boyfriend had been waiting for. He'd been going on about it for *months*, about how it was the 'next big thing', the future of gaming...And like<em>every</em>girlfriend since time immemorial, Callie had nodded along and gone "That's nice, Eric."<br/><br/>As a matter of fact, Callie<em>had</em>kept an eye out for this, herself...But between the swim team, college, and general socializing - she hadn't had the chance to learn more than just the rumors! She'd sent in her application, of course -<em>everyone</em>had. But apparently Eric had been the lucky one...And who could blame him~? He'd be *so* happy once he got back...In a few days.<br/><br/>Callie knew better than to call him. If she knew Eric, he'd<em>rush</em>home, right now - convention be damned. No, there was no need for that at all...Besides, it'd be a nice surprise for when he got back.<br/><br/>"Hmmmmm." Plugging in the helmet had been simple enough - there hadn't been any instructions with it, but using it seemed obviously. The curving visor reflected Callie's form...And<em>what</em>a form it was! In a simple pair of shorts and a white singlet top, Callie had just emerged from the shower...Her limpid blue eyes bright with equal parts curiosity and amusement. Her lissome legs crossed with a supple scrape, as she made herself comfortable on Eric's bed (https://dl.dropboxusercontent.com/u/8073552/SAO%20Sugu%20%283%29.jpg)...The preferred position for using this, according to the bare-bones manual she'd glimpsed online.<br/><br/>She really shouldn't...But it couldn't hurt to give it a spin, could it? After all, she really should see what the fuss was all about, before Eric got his new toy *all* to himself...<br/><br/>Carefully, Callie settled the helmet on her head - easing herself back to the mattress (https://dl.dropboxusercontent.com/u/8073552/SAO%20Sugu%20%282%29.jpg), lowering the visor...A low hum pulsing in her ears, as the system engaged!
