Literotica 2201 A.D.

[Kepic]

Brainwave! I was wracking my brain trying to come up with a good idea... and I hit on this. Started off as a basic 'future internet society' but then it grew, after one or two further ideas got appended.

The S.W.W. (System wide web) came about relatively quickly with the colonisation of the moon, then Mars, and Venus. Virtual Reality Enviroments (V.R.E.'s) were cheaper to maintain than any holiday resort, and you didn't need to travel to reach them - just plug into the web, via a neural interface socket (N.I.S.), which is a little piece of 'bio-organic cyberwear' that is surgically implanted into the neck, linking directly to a persons brain and spine.

Then, a bright scientist (Professor Hiromi Agatchi, 2034 A.D. - 2142 A.D.) came up with the idea of adding a L.A.I. (Limited Artificial Intelligence, as opposed to an E.A.I., or Expandable A.I.) to the NIS, enabling an individual to surf the SWW while his or her body was under the direction of the LAI at work.

Thus, the LAI provided a workforce of highly skilled labourers in whichever field was required, while each persons mind was free to do as it pleased, learning whatever knowledge was desired, or engaging in simple entertainment.

Later, bio-organic power sources, bio-organic cyberwear which was implanted into a persons own physique, and powered by the bodies own regulatory systems, meant that light, dedicated VRE computers could be carried anywhere.

More and more people flocked to join the ever expanding Virtual Utopia this created.

* * *

The Armstrong Colony, in the Sea of Tranquility - named after the famous american astronaut who had been the first man on the moon, almost two-and-a-half centuries ago - was a mining colony.

The term 'colony' however was something of a misnomer. Like some of the old derelict oilrigs that still stood on the oceans on Earth, the miners here were on rotating shifts, from the true colonies on Earth and Luna.

Here, like many others, I eked out a living, though, like many miners on Luna, I had long been a 'vaper' - a nickname for a 'virtual-reality addict' that came about some decades back and stuck.

Pornographic VRE's were a favourite haunt for many labourers - male and female - and I had found a free VRE site called Literotica some years back, which I visited often, under the name of 'Kepic.'

 

[angie girl]

where does he get these ideas?

I don't know if I can join in this thread, but - Kepic Rules!

 

[Guest]

OOC: Very nice. May I join you?

IC: The Armstrong Colony might be a lot of things to a lot of people, but it had been my home now for nearly a decade. The work kept my body in good shape, and my NIS implant kept my mind active.

It had been a grueling day, and I looked forward to continuing the saga of my favorite VRE in a hot bath in my modest dwelling. As I undressed and turned on the hot water, I let my mind go walking. The steam produced by the running water became a dense fog in my favorite fantasy.

 

[Kepic]

Kepic

OOC: Certainly.

IC: I still had a few hours left on my shift, so I let the LAI handle the chore while I let my mind slip into the SWW, heading for my long favoured site.

"Welcome to Literotica" said the attractive female NUC (Non-user-character) at the VRE's 'portal', as my cyberspace alter-ego appeared before the entrance - a black and gold gilded mansions gate - having selected my destination through the NIS interface.

"Ah, welcome back, Kepic" she said with a smile, unseen user ID checks having been quickly run, and the gate opened as if of its own accord.

The main Literotica VRE was an impressive mansion - though many of the signposted doors within led to seperate VRE scenario's, as well as the extravagantly decorated interior, which was a far cry from the simplistic, spartan quarters miners like myself got on Armstrong. Giving her a curt nod, I walked up the gravel path.

The main lounge was spacious, with finely upholstered chairs and low sofa's. Patrons walked around, lounged in the furniture, sat by the bar drinking, chatting, laughing - people from all across the system came here. People who, in real life, you might have to shell out a small fortune on a transport ticket to visit.

"Can I get you a drink sir?" said a NUC waiter who walked up to me, as I entered, silver plattered tray carried with perfect smoothness in hand.

"An earth light ale, please" I replied, and I walked over to a small group of people I recognised, while the waiter collected my drink. Although it was not real alcohol, the mind could still get hung-over through self-suggestion, I had learned.

[Guest]

IC: As I slipped into the warm bath water, my mind was already wandering around Literotica. My Cyber persona was known as MoonWolf, or Moon for short. How appropriate living on Luna as I currently was.

Picking up my drink in the lounge, I looked around for familiar faces. Soon I saw Kepic arriving. I smiled and headed his direction.

 

[Kepic]

After greeting some of my garnered on-line friends, there was a tap on my shoulder, and I turned around.

"Hey Moon" I said, smiling.

I knew she worked on Armstrong as well, from past conversations, but our shifts meant we only ever saw one another out of Literotica for a few brief minutes at best.

Her cyber-persona, like mine, was modelled on our real-life bodies, though to cut down on the data-stream lag there were certain ammendments, like completley unblemished skin, save perhaps for the odd 'beauty mark' that some people seemed to think fashionable. I just went for a nice, all-over tan - the kind of tan that no miner would get on Armstrong, giving the often dark conditions and closed spaces worked in.

Another matter was choice of attire - the practical, necessary spacesuits that miners wore most of the time was hardly fashionable - and most certainly uncomfortable - but that was another benefit of 'vaping' while working. In here, currently, I was dressed in a mock-up of a late 22nd century dark blue business suit, though by calling up a command screen I could change that in but mere moments.

Command screens were the users primary tool in shaping the VRE about them. They appeared as floating rectangular panels, with voice and touch activated control icons. While a lot of things in the main Literotica VRE were set, the private user VRE suites were completely customable.

The waiter returned and I plucked the short glass off of the tray. You'd never need a refill here - your glass would always remain full, and it was impossible to spill - a favourite joke was 'throwing' your drink at newcomers to the VRE.

"Thanks" I said to him, looking back to MoonWolf. "How are you today?" I asked, "still grinding rocks in B-sector?"

 

[Guest]

"Thanks" I said to him, looking back to MoonWolf. "How are you today?" I asked, "still grinding rocks in B-sector?"

"Yes, as a matter in fact I am. I have moved up to supervisor, and am responsible for a team of about 20. I don't have to work quite so hard. How about you? Didn't you say something about a possible promotion? What ever happened to that?"

 

[Kepic]

"Got pipped to the post" I said with a sigh, "though I think there's another position coming up, which looks promising. Good for you though, I said you'd have no problem landing a supervisor position, didn't I?"

I took a drink from my glass, and smiled at her. "Come across any interesting VRE scenario's recently? I found this tropical island one that was pretty good, back a couple of days or so."

I laughed. "Not like they get clear blue skies and sea's like that now of course, back on earth - even with the atmosphere pollution reg's and cleaning program the earth central government brought in all those decades ago."

 

[Indika]

OOC: This looks cool and I agree Kepic Rocks!!

IC: I'd been working on Luna for only a year, having moved recently from the Mars colony, but the work had been good. Currently they had me in B-section grinding rocks. The work was grueling, but thankfully the VRE kept my mind off of it. I had been working with a woman whom everyone called Moonwolf, and she'd recently gotten a promotion. She was a good supervisor, fair and efficient. Another of my co-workers had mentioned they'd seen her at a place on the VRE called Literotica. I hadn't known it existed, but decided I'd check it out now, since I was starting a double shift. I got myself registered using my usual VRE handle, Indika.

I quickly discovered that you could change into an assortment of outfits, according to your personal taste. A luxury I hadn't been able to enjoy since leaving earth. I chose a pair of tight black leather pants and a fitted button down shirt. To complete the outfit I added a pair of black high heeled boots. My red hair was reminiscent of the ancient show "Charlie's Angels" they used to show on the archaic form of media that had been known as television.

Somewhat apprehensively I walked into the main entrance and was immediately approached by a NUC who asked me for my drink order. I asked for Cranberry and Vodka which was brought to me immediately. I nervously sipped my drink and looked around, unsure of what to do or where to go.

((Let the drinks fly people... newbie in the room... LMAO!!))

 

[Guest]

"Well, good luck on the position. Eventually the right one will come along for you. And yes, you had more confidence in me than I did."

Sipping my drink, I continue. "Tropical island, eh? Sounds charming. I'd have to say I'm glad we can virtually visit places like that. Could you imagine shelling out your life's earnings to visit a place that was incapable of blue skies? Yuck."

Looking over Kepic's shoulder, I spot one of my employee's. She looked a bit lost, as if this were her first time. I decided to give her a welcome.

"My my," I say to Kepic. "I believe I see one of my newer employee's. Excuse me a minute, I'll be right back."

"Hey Red!" I call out to her as I approach. I'd nicknamed her "red" at work, due to her beautiful hair. "You look a little lost." I finish.

 

[Kepic]

Moon brushed past me, and I turned to glance over to the young woman whom MoonWolf was approaching, an attractive redhead. Smiling and nodding in her direction, I turned my attention away, calling up a command panel.

The translucent screen appeared before me, and I 'flipped' through a few pages, looking over the recent VRE's, though nothing much stood out. I called up the Tropical Island VRE on the panel, checking through its scenario profile. It was created to be a one-on-one scenario, but like most of its 'virtual attributes', that could be changed to suit the user's wishes easily.

I looked at the displayed picture of the island, a three-dimensial image that rotated, showing off the main features of the scenario setting. A beautiful waterfall, a silvery cascade of clear water that fell from above into a wide pool caught my eye, surrounded by lush green vegetation, palm trees and brightly coloured flowers.

I smiled, I had missed that last time in the scenario, I and the other user who had invited me to join her had spent our time on the beach, playing in the warm waves that washed over the shore.

[Indika]

"Hey Red! You look a little lost." a voice said. Turning I see my supervisor.

I smile, "Oh hi Moon. I've never been here before, but someone told me I should check it out." I look at her. She looked very different than when I see her at work. The uniforms that we were required to wear really didn't do her justice. She had a great body and I'm sure the guys here noticed.

I looked around, sipping my drink, "So.. what's good to do around here?" I asked a little self-consciously.

 

[Guest]

"Ah, well, welcome. I come here often, myself. Here I'll show you." With that, I called up a similar command panel and moved aside so that Indika could see it.

"Here are the current VRE's that are active. You can chose any here that are in progress to either view, or join. Some are pretty far along, and may be difficult to join. Others may have just begun, and new characters can easily jump in. You can even begin your own VRE." I begin flipping the pages explaining how to get the descriptions, and how to view, etc. I came upon the island VRE and pulled up the description. "A friend of mine just told me about this one. It hasn't been here long."

 

[Kepic]

I glanced over to where Moon was talking with the woman she had called Red, and saw she was giving her a walkthrough of the basics of the Literotica VRE command system. Waving my command panel away, I walked over to introduce myself.

"Hi" I said, "I hear you're one of Moon's underlings" I added, with a smile, "well, you couldn't be in better hands, I'm sure. My name's Kepic - or at least, that's my sign-on name here."

"Hi, my names Indika" she replied, then gasped and cringed as I 'upended' my glass over her head.

"Sorry, newbie joke" I said, as she recovered her composure with a slight scowl, before smiling along with my and Moon's laughter, as well as a few others in the Lounge who had caught it. "It's kind of an initiation ceremony here" I said, "or at least one of them" I winked.

I looked to the command panel, where the tropical island scenario I had just been looking over was displayed. "Ah, found it then, Moon." I said, with a smile. "What do you think?"

 

[Indika]

I cringed when this man, Kepic, poured his drink over my head, fully expecting to get soaked. Ready to rip into him for it, but before I had a chance to say anything I noticed the drink had evaporated almost immediately and hadn't really affected me. They laughed and Kepic explained the joke. "Hmm..." I tossed my drink over my shoulder, and noticed that the liquid seemed to vanish into thin air without hitting anything. I looked down and my glass was full, "Nifty trick." I muttered. When I looked up Kepic and Moon were discussing the Island VRE she had been showing me. I piped up and said, "I think it looks... interesting."

 

[Guest]

Watching Indika cringe as Kepic turned his drink over her head, I burst out laughing. Memories of my first time here flooded my memory. One cannot forget such an event on your first virtual experience.

After recovering from the drink episode, I turned to Kepic and replied, "It looks lovely. Shall we?"

 

[Kepic]

"Certainly" I said to MoonWolf, smiling. I turned to Indika. "Would you care to join us? We can show you some of the features that make this VRE so popular."

Virtual sex held many advantages, besides being perfectly safe. Your 'body' here never tired, for one. The current records for multiple orgasms here, for man or woman, were staggering.

"That is, if you'd be agreeable to some extra company, Moon" I said, with a sly wink to her.

 

[Indika]

"That sounds ... exciting." I stated, looking at Moon to see what her response would be.

 

[Indika]

To the top!!

I like this thread... I'd like to see it continue.
