Just A Game? (closed for slippedhalo)

Steve Back picked up the helmet and placed it on his head. His full body VR suit was now ready for another day of play. He hit a few buttons on his computer and then pulled the visor down. He pushed the button on the side of his helmet and was suddenly in the lobby of his favorite game.

He was very good at the game. In the real world he was a mixed martial artist. He was fairly good in that, but it was very dangerous. He had learned of the game world where there was all kinds of fighting styles with different rooms for each. He fought in the hand-to-hand fighting league and was in the top group. He had even unlocked the ability to go into the "anything goes" room for hand-to-hand. He played in tournaments and made enough money in them to live off of. After winning or placing in the top of a tournament he got the winnings wired to his bank account. He had a nice house and a good sized nest egg for a rainy day.

He knew most of the people that were able to go into the lobby where he was They were all top competitors. Newbies were not allowed in the top rank lobbies. He sat in a chair in his room which was clear of anything in case he got out of control and actually started moving a lot. The technology was good enough that one did not need to actually go through the motions, they could just send the mental command that would normally have the limbs move. He waited in the lobby for someone to challenge.

Teaghan MacHugh was an avid gamer from the age of five, maybe even younger. It had helped that her father, John MacHugh, had invented the very game she played daily, obsessively at times... He taught her how to use the equipment and programming before she ever learned to ride a bike. She was raised testing out computer programs. Her hobby, a thing she once shared with her father, was now a regular obsession for Teaghan.

Her obsession lately, having caused her to even drop out of college in the hopes of becoming a professional VR gamer and making decent enough money at it that she did indeed make more per month fighting virtual battles and performing virtual quests than she would have ever made with a completed degree in teaching which was her original intent before leaving school for gaming. Today she was feeling ambitious and adventurous. She'd never played in the 'anything goes' forum before. Today she decided to go into the lobby and issue a challenge to the first gamer she saw.

In the game Steve had long black hair tied back so it did not get in his eyes. He was 6'2", broad shouldered and very muscular. It was a variation of what he looked like in the real world just a bit bigger and stronger with longer hair. He sat and watched as people entered. Not many people came into the anything goes lobby.

Finally, a young girl showed up. He smiled and took a good look at her. She was his mark. He would take her on. He got up and walked over to her, smiling. He made himself look kind, which he was, but not as much as he appeared at the moment. With a smile he held out his hand for her. "Hey, I havn't seen you around here before. Welcome, i'm StebMMA." He used his user name as everyone did in the game world.

Teaghan didn't appear much differently in the game than in real life only she'd increased the size of her breasts and her height substantially. In reality she was just five feet tall and had a small B cup.

She smiled as the other gamer approached her, well, the computerized version of herself, not Teaghan but Angel1. "I don't usually play at this time of day but I have a new schedule now. Angel1." she replied to his comment.

Steve smiled at the girl as she explained why he had not seen her around. He nodded and decided to challenge her. She was quite attractive, the anything goes rule could be quite fun with her. Yes, he was definitely going to have a good time. "So, Angel1, would you like to have a nice exhibition match? Or are you waiting for someone in particular?"

Teaghan grinned, "A match? Oh, I guess it might be an interesting way to pass the time. I hope you have been practicing." she teased. She wasn't exactly shy about the fact that she was damn good. Plus, he was kind of good looking, the virtual character of himself anyway, and she knew that was all that mattered in a virtual world anyhow. "Let's get started then."

Steve was a little surprised about how confident she was. She had obviously never seen him in a tournament before. He was in the top group for a reason. When she suggested they get started, he grinned. Exiting the vr view for a moment, he typed on his keyboard. He got a game set up for the two of them in a large deparment store. He felt it would be an interesting place for a fight and would allow him to do many things with her since anything was allowed.

He re-entered the vr view and then opened up the doorway to the game. He held his arm out toward it. "Ladies first. Go on in and I'll be right behind you and we can get this fight started. I hope you are ready for this, because fights with me are unlike anything else in this game."

"Ok, then. See you inside." she said. Teaghan felt pretty confident. She knew this game like the back of her hand. She should, it had been her playground most of her life.

She entered the room and it looked like a department store. Teaghan nodded thinking it could be interesting and taking a look at the various levels on a map before her so she knew where to find whatever she may need when she needed it. First stop, Teaghan made her way to housewares thinking that the smaller kitchen appliances could be useful in a fight and the larger ones would make excellent cover when she needed to hide. Like at the moment, she waited crouched behind a set of old washing machines seeing through a plexiglass fence-wall that he was entering just one level above, between the toy department and the photography studio.

He nodded and watched her enter the fight area. He waited a minute and then stepped in. He checked the map quickly and commited it to memory as much as he could. He then entered the main area between the toy area and photo area. Rather than look for his opponent right away, he went about gathering things first. He went to the camping gear area to get rope, just in case. He then visited a number of other places and gathered a number of other things. He stashed them near where the beds were and then perpared to look for his opponent. He had a knife in his back pocket just in case she had a weapon.

Teaghan noted it took him a long time to run around the store but he seemed to be gathering things and she wasn't sure where he'd gone but when he returned none of the items she'd seen in his arms were with him anymore. What was he planning? She wondered.

ooc: You can write some of the action in game for me if it helps move things along. I am not sure where you want to take this just yet.

Steve looked around carefully for his opponent, listening for anything that would give her position away. He found a fairly open spot close to house wares. He stood in teh middle, arms spread open as if to say he was not armed. He didn't need to be armed though, he was a hand-to-hand fighter. He decided to call out and see if she would face him in the open. "Ok Angel1. I'm here waiting for you. Why don't you come out and play for a while instead of hiding? Are you afraid of me?"

OOC: Yeah, once they are face to face I'll write out some of teh action and then you can just have something in your post where she makes a mistake that he can take advantage of and knock her out or make her unconscious. since the fight is to the death in the game, he can then prepare her for what he has in mind.

Teaghan laughed out loud. He was so predictable. However his goading did get a result because she stood to look him over. He did appear unarmed. Good. She was much better in martial arts than in weapon tossing anyway.

Stepping away from the washing machines she stood to face him in the aisle. "So, StebMMA, how would you like to die today?" she asked with a radiant smile. She was prepared for action, wondering what sort of fighter he would be.

Steve smiled as he heard the girl laughing. When she stood he spotted her. Then when she moved out he prepared himself to fight. She sounded very confident. From the look of her, she was probably a martial artist. He wasn't sure what kind though. She should already know what he was though, it was right in his name. Mixed Martial Artist. He could fight on his feet or grapple, either was fine with him.

He stood facing her, fists up, ready to go. He moved in close, light on his feet. Soon the fight was on, but sowly at first, quick strikes, most blocked. Each got in a few nice shots on the other. There was a little circling, trying to get better positioning. After a few minutes Steve decided to try for a take down.

He moved in, fists flying, causing her to back up a couple steps. He then took her out at the waist, knocking her down to the floor and going down with her. He ended up between her legs in the full guard position. He hoped that later he could be in that position while they were not fighting. He threw punches and elbows down at her. Occasionally he lifted her up and then slammed her back down against the floor.

He attacked for a few minutes in that way, using a fair bit of energy while she was able to conserve energy on the floor. He did some damage, but not too much, and he decided to get back on his feet. That was when he made a mistake and she was able to reverse their positions. He fought hard and got her into a half guard, so he had some protection. He wondered how good her ground game was though. He figured if she was not good at it, she would probably stand up anyway.

OOC: If she tried to get up he could take the opportunity to get a choke hold of some sort and basicly make her unconscious.

Teaghan was usually quite smooth in these kinds of combat situations but something about this one was rattling her a bit. He seemed...aroused and with their close floor fighting it was only growing more obvious, a distraction she couldn't afford. The moment she looked down he had caught her off guard and she didn't even realize she'd looked until it was too late. The uppercut to her chin stung and radiated waves of pain all the way to the back of her skull, making her dizzy.

She thought she'd black out for a moment there but composed herself just in time to dodge another blow. She had to get out of this position and off of the floor. It wasn't her best place to fight. Teaghan moved on rubery legs to kneel, hoping she could pop right up but her head was still pounding from that uppercut. Yet another pause caused her to lose the battle. He seemed to come out of nowhere and soon her whole virtual world faded under a curtain of blackness.

Steve was quite happy with himself and the blow he'd given her to the chin. she seemed a little stunned. Now was his chance. He just needed to get the right timing. She doged another strike and then she went to get up. When she paused she had just the right body position. He moved fast. His body shifted at the same time as he flipped her to her back. In moments he had her in the famous 'rear naked choke' He was beneath her with an arm around her neck, the hand of that arm gripping the bicep muscle of the other arm. He shifted and cinched it tighter and tighter, cutting off her air supply. She slowly faded to unconsciousness.

As soon as he was sure she was out, but not dead, he let her go. He immediately got up and then took a deep breath to relax. He lifted her up and carried her to the place where he'd left everything else. The first thing he did was toss her onto the bed. He did not have much time though, so he went right away to securing her in place. He took the rope and tied her arms and legs to bed posts. He had her arms and legs tied fairly tightly, but he was not stretching her apart too much, she could move a little, but not enough to fight back.

Once she was tied up, he went about cleaning himself up. The game was realistic enough that if you had a cut over your eye, your vision could be bluirred by the blood. Also, blood loss amde you weaker and weaker. So looking into a mirror, he used some first aid stuff he had gathered to patch himself up a little while waiting for her to wake.

She felt weakened considerably and when she was waking up again Teaghan was alarmed to note that she couldn't move her limbs. She looked around, wide eyed, to see she'd been bound to the posts of a bed in the bedding department. "Oh, come on! This may be anything goes but surely you are not going to...I mean not really anything!" she exclaimed, a little shiver of fear running through her as she watched how calmly he looked at her, the expression on his face making her freeze. "...At least let me defend myself, make it fair. Give me a chance to get away so it's real sport."

He looked down at the bed as he heard noises. He grinned. He watched her come to the realisation that she was tied up. He held back a laugh at the look in her eyes. Her yelling also made him want to laugh even more. He was able to remain calm looking at her. She asked to be allowed to defend herself and he had to laugh at that.

He picked up some scissors that he had taken and moved close to her. "You had your chance to defend yourself while we fought. You failed to do that when you tried to get up. Now I'm just reaping the benefits. So, I suggest you stop complaining and do your best to enjoy it." As he spoke, the scissors moved nearer and nearer to her clothes. When he finished speaking, he made the first cut. She should not care about her clothes. If she really did not want this to happen, she could always pull out of the VR experience and leave him with her virtual body. It was not like she was locked in, but most people got so into it that they forgot they were in VR.

Teaghan began hyperventilating when he started cutting at her clothes with the scissors. "I...I can't believe you're doing this! You're an asshole!" she cried out, fear of what was to come beginning to take over her senses until he got to her top, cutting away the clothes from her upper half...and Teaghan observed the most perfect, beautifully round breasts she'd ever seen in construction...construction...yes, she wasn't really here. It was virtual reality not real life. This wasn't really happened. Teaghan felt relief wash over her as she realized she'd nearly forgotten. So, when he reached out to take hold of one of those falsely perfect tits she simply pulled out of the experience.

After working to calm herself down in the comfort of her loft apartment Teaghan decided she needed a hot shower and a cup of tea and got set to work on just that, leaving her character to be molested without her there to experience it.

Steve grinned as she freaked out at him again. She called him names, but he didn't care. The name of the game was anything goes. If you can't handle that, then don't play. It was very apparent that she could not handle it. As he finished cutting away her top he reached down and grabbed hold of her soft, round breast.

When she let her vr suit, he could tell. Her body did not move on its own any more. He had to admit though, he enjoyed having the girl there to release his sexual tension. He started using her body anyway. He only needed to worry about himself. He then decided to have a little more fun with her. He got her in a nice position and the made sure she was nicely covered in cum. He also made sure some was visible leaking from her tight little asshole. He started to fuck her cunt again and then left his vr suit so that when she returned, which could be at any time, she could see what he had done to her body and what she missed, and what he intended to do to her again, but at a time that she would have to be there fully for it. He vowed that to himself. Somehow he would do that.

It was several hours later when Teaghan returned to her computer, VR work station and found her mark had left an awful mess of her VR avatar. She was furious he wasn't there to curse at anymore and a little perturbed at how he'd left things. She couldn't get back into the game without his virtual cock stuck in her virtual pussy and her character tied for possibly all eternity to the department store bed. This was more than insulting and unnerving, it had her locked out of being able to play with her system at all without giving into this lunatic. Her whole reason for leaving was that she wasn't comfortable with fucking this guy and now in VR she might never be rid of him if he never returned to free her, chances are he could just as easily kill her character too... Teaghan was nervously fiddling with her copper hair as she contimplated all of this, watching the screen in near tears. It wasn't fair! She slammed her fist hard against the desk her laptop sat upon and ran out of the room with a scream of frustration.

After a while Steve returned to the VR game. He was certain she would have checked in on it by now and seen what he had done. If she had, she certainly would have reacted by then and done something about it. He decided it was time to end it. He re-entered the VR world and pulled himself from her. He then quickly finished the girl off, killing her as he had many others over the years in the game. It always felt a little wierd, and he felt he would never get used to it.

After she died, they faded from the game and returned to their normal clothes and their bodies would be un-injured in the lobby. He left the VR game and then went to get something to eat. As he ate, he thought hard of ways he could fuck her and make her be there for it. He knew that one way would be to do it in reality. However, that would be a real problem since it was hard to find people from the virtual world in the real world. The only other way would be to hijack a tournament battle where he fought her and then after knocking her unconscious, hacking the game and preventing the tournament people from cutting off the game. He could then fuck her since in tournament play, the player was not able to remove the VR equipment until the game is done. However, he had no hacking ability so that would be very hard to do. He had to tough plans to work on and decided to start doing something about them.

Teaghan decided to reconstruct a whole new character for her game playing in VR. She wanted one which would be unrecognizable compared to the previous one which was a little bit too much like herself and that bothered her now after her character's rape and death. She didn't know why, she'd had other characters killed in the games before but this one was more personal, she had been more attached and so the violation of the way it had died had hit her harder than any of her other's before. Now, she was looking for a whole new online identity. As she worked she wondered where in reality that jerk was now and if he was at all aware of how he'd ruined her week.

Over the next few days, Steve did not do much fighting. He did, however, stay in the virtual world. He watched the lists of who was online very carefully. Even if Angel1 had changed her avatar, she could not change her user name. In this way, he found out her scheduel of playing the game. Using that, he figured out possible time zones she could live in. One of them was his. He then remembered her voice and the way she spoke and used that to narrow down the possibilities. He had a fairly good idea of where she might live. There were still many possible cities and millions of people in those cities, but it was a lot less than her possibly being anywhere in the world. He deicede to forget his other plan and just go with trying to find her in the real world.

He spent a day completely changing his character. To be unrecogniable as his old one. He changed every facial feature and his hair. He then changed every aspect of his body. He smiled as he finalised it. He then went off for the rest of the day, finalising his plan. He was getting closer to getting what he wanted.

Teaghan had just won a thousand dollar competition in VR judo and was having a genrally good afternoon when she stopped to check her e-mail and was contacted by her virus scanning and anti-hacking system with an e-mail telling her someone had hacked into her account and made copies of several megabytes of her computer's data, specifically, her personal and financial information.

Teaghan's stomach dropped to her ankles. She worked the rest of the day to stop any further outside activity to any of her accounts, having found out that nearly ten thousand dollars had been charged to a credit account which she had to shut down. She shut down all of her cards and had a monitor for new activity put onto all of her bank accounts, her computer accounts and realized she'd have to change her e-mail addresses and contact people in her address books to warn them of her possibly having been a victim of identity theft.

She spent the whole night trying to trace the source of this online fraud...and found it was located to an address just in the next province. His name was Steve Back. She was fuming when she found a photo of him online. He looked remarkably like a real life version of the avatar which had killed her old one.

Steve had a new avatar and everything set in place. Now he just needed to find out who she was. He decided to try asking around the lobbies for awhile to see if anyone had any info. Unfortunately no one he asked, no matter how subtly, knew anything about her. He decided to go the sneakier way. He looked around until he found a good hacker who he could trust since he was not great with computers.

He got the hacker to work on Angel1's system. He had the man in his house using his system. The guy worked for quite a while before reporting something. He figured if the man had worked that long he would have been frustrated. Also, when he finally reported he was in, it did not sound like he had just got in. He did not know what the man had done, but he had a feeling that he had done something bad. All Steve wanted was information. He did get that. He got a fair bit of information about her and grinned. He now knew where to get her and he started thinking of ways to get his hands on her.
