#vr world

Pyrrha was frustrated and bored. The life of a Combat Tournament Champion was nothing like the movies and reality shows made it out to be. She felt like a prisoner in her own life. Having earned two major titles back to back meant she was now more that just a pretty face. She was now becoming a hero, and to some an idol worthy of worpship.

Gone now were the late night trips, to dance clubs. Gone were the peaceful walks in the park. Everywhere she went she was mobbed by adoring fans if she happened to be not surrounded by private security.

So she retreated from public life. Threw herself into training for future matches and in her downtime retreated to the expansive worlds of VR. In the digital domain she was a nobody. Her face was different, as was her body. Gone was the athletic amazon, replaced with a girl-next-door vibe. In these artificial realms she was free.

Late one night she had donned her VR suit. She had a free weekend, and to burn off the frustration of a bad week or poor training results she entered the clubs worlds... and became bored. She knew when she created her avatar that being so plain would cause her to be overlooked. But tonight she wanted to interact. To have fun and escape the real world.

She found herself in a rather low-key dance club. Nothing special. Just booming music and an at capacity dance floor. Hugging the fringes she watched the writhing forms while trying to screw up the nerve to wade into the sea of bodies. It was during that time she saw him. He was average, but had a mystery about him. She followed his vibrant, sun-kissed blond hair as he moved through the crowd.

He had an air of complete peace as he danced and prowled. Pyrrha gasped when his head turned in her direction and their eyes met. His vibrant blues peering deep into her deep emeralds. He smiled, and then vanished. Her eyes darted about trying to catch sight of him.

????: Hi

Pyrrha: EEP!

She snapped her head about noticing that he was now leaning against the wall beside her.

????: Noticed you looking lonely. Did you want some friendly company? Maybe a dance partner?

Pyrrha: Umm, I... ah...

He moved to stand before her his disarming smile making her heart flutter VR suit. He cocked his head, and still smiling.

????: Maybe I'm not what you're looking for?

Pyrrha: What?

The young man closed his eyes, and shook his head. Suddenly his short messy mop of blond hair, became a shoulder length waterfall. His rather boyish features softening and become enticingly feminine.

????: Is this better?

Pyrrha was shocked. She had heard the rumors of individuals that had the ability to instantly change, or modify their virtual avatars. It wasn't allowed. It wasn't supposedly possible. Yet she just witnessed it first hand.

Pyrrha: Um... no... yes?

????: Where are my manners. I'm Jaune or in this case... Joan. And you are?

Pyrrha: I go by Pyr.

Joan(Jaune): Well Pyr why are you hugging the wall? You should be out there having some fun.

Pyrrha: Well... um... I had a rough week, and I wanted... to let loose but... I...

Joan(Jaune): Not feeling it? Were hoping to find some friendly company to share a VR session with?

Pyrrha: Yeah. I guess you could say that. Could you?

Joan(Jaune) nodded and with the same motion as before, her/his body morphed. Once again male, he moved to lean against the wall next to Pyrrha.

Jaune(Joan): So is this the type of place you wanted to let loose in?

Pyrrha: I wanted too... but...

Jaune(Joan): It is a little crowded, here. I know of another place. Bit different of a vibe, but I think you would really have some fun there.

Pyrrha: Um...

Jaune(Joan): It's okay to turn me down. I won't be insulted or upset.

Pyrrha: Could we just stay here and talk for a bit? I mean thank you but... I don't think...

Jaune(Joan): Totally understand. And I'm more than happy to have a chat.
