*Now with "Lost in translation from RP to log entry" mistakes fixed.
I diverted my gaze from the clothes laying on the ground, fully intending to just leave them there until later, since this was pretty much 'my' space now, and walked back to the mirror. There, I put my arms under my chest, just to see how the size scaled up. Unsurprisingly, that act only reinforced my belief of it being quite big.
Then, I was drawn out of the immersion and gazing by a notification popping up to my right somewhere, informing me that my 'real' body was sending signals of requiring a certain, not so pleasant kind of biological relief. I rolled my eyes as I dismissed it.
"Can't I have some damn fun without a stupid interruption every five minutes?"
I switched from 'quite satisfied after the act' to 'being annoyed' rather quickly, as this wasn't something I could just ignore, else I'd get forcibly pulled out of the virtual space in a short minute. So I disconnected from the VR device and had my character's position saved, and 'woke up' still safely on the bed, with a certain pressing need manifesting itself.
"Stupid body. What I wouldn't pay to not need to deal with your shitty stuff."
I kept it suppressed for now, getting hit with 1.3Gs of gravity again, which somehow made my smaller, regular body feel heavier than the one with a bunch of extra mass. And yet, being back inside 'real me' felt almost... disappointing. Doing what I had just done felt a little… more than a little, like an... admission, or realization, feeling impossibly free and 'right' in that almost disproportionate body, even if just virtual.
I shook it off, thinking to just bring it up with Meowers later. It was far too early to make a decision on that yet, and it'd undoubtedly have some form of positive and negative effects on my life if I did. Instead, I paid the bathroom a quick visit and took a real shower, then set to shutting up that rumbling belly of mine. While I prepared something to eat, I also sent a message to Meowers.
Had some 'fun'. Going to get some food into this hungry body then come back around. I'll send you an invite once I have things set up. Or when I found something appropriate to join. Or, you could send me one if you're done faster with your stuff.
- K
Once I was done eating, I went back to my bedroom and returned to the VR space. No invite from Meowers yet. Looking for someone's server with the city sandbox was also... fruitless. It either seemed to be someone with a whole bunch of ridiculous restrictions and demanding far too stringent 'realistic' standards, which neither me nor Meowers would meet, or often just too empty to really find anyone that was not a non-player character.
So I just created my own and sent out an invite to Meowers, as I hadn't received one yet. The plan was to leave it open for anyone to join, once she was in. As I loaded in, I felt that residual sensation of pure enjoyment and fulfilment from what I did earlier, still saved on the character after I loaded out of the VR space. With that feeling putting me back in the mood for our messing around, and a light blush on my cheeks, I began to wander around aimlessly, subconsciously heading toward a park
"Oh, hi."
I’d been standing near a lawn in the park, seemingly unsure where to go from there, when I heard someone say that. Turning around, Meowers had appeared just now, waving her hand, coming closer.
She was stepping lightly, still a bit wobbly on her feet, with her eyes softly half-shut and one hand resting on her waist. And carried that unmistakable contented light smirk that was clearly pointing at having quite a pleasant time just a few minutes earlier.
This time, she was in a short jacket made of thick aged black leather, casually thrown over a simplistic violet-coloured crop top and left unzipped, cream beige cargo trousers, a little baggy yet still following the shape of her legs, and tall canvas sneakers that looked like a more casual version of her military boots.
Stopping nearby, she looked at me, apparently noticing the hints of the same pleased look... And maybe a little blushing too.
"Hm. I suppose, things went quite well, mmmhmmm?"
"That they went well is... an understatement.”, I answered, truthfully. “I don't think I've felt that good since... well, ever."
Details weren't needed, especially with both of us being women. I took a good look around the park that I had chosen to hang around in. Thought of it as a good enough spot away from most noise and the traffic being simulated, a setting that I had already put as low as it could be without turning it off outright - doing so would have made things look a little too dead and empty. A bench was nearby, so I went over to sit on that while we spoke… after ensuring it had no stains of the nasty kind on it. And then noting how that certain mass on my back shifted and spread outward, in response to weight going onto it.
"I could really see myself with this - " I looked down at my body, arms lifted slightly. " - forever, you know? It really is so nice, like I always should have been this way. Or, I guess, wanted to be. It feels so much more... freeing. If there wasn't another world out there that I needed to pay attention to, I'd totally spend all my time around here."
"Ah, you're so... Right. Hells", Meowers replied, and sat on the bench next to me slowly, staring somewhere at... A general direction of my body. Perhaps the lower part, that looked bigger when I was sitting.
I took a deep breath with my eyes closed, further signifying how content I felt, while I continued on her response.
"The only downside I can see is that I'd lose some of my mobility, but honestly, I don't want to spend the rest of my days fighting bad guys and big monsters in close quarters, so it's a minor loss. Well, and I'd have to replace my wardrobe with custom fits. I don't think they make them in such... odd sizes."
I threw a hinting look at my hips primarily - with the right hand on a thigh - given how they and thighs were upsized, but nothing below. Though, the point also somewhat applied to my chest and waist.
Meowers made a deep breath with eyes still unfocused and half-closed in a cosy relaxation.
"Never felt so amazing just being... Myself, you know. I'd totally like to stay like this...", slightly moving her fingertips, she made them point at herself, "Forever."
She tilted her head slightly to look at her hand that was resting relaxedly on the knee. Then, at another one. Closing her eyes slowly, she couldn't help but emit a quiet lighthearted laughter.
"Aaaah, shite. Now I understand how people get hooked on that VR thingy."
"Well, anyway, I was going to open this place up for other players to hop into.”, I then said, diverting the subject. “I thought about looking for someone else's server, but they were all either basically empty, or had all those ridiculous rules you needed to follow instead of just having fun. Like only having characters of a certain size and whatever. Blah. We'd have been kicked out faster than I could say 'Yes'. So... if you don't mind, I'll do that now."
"Yeah. Open this thing up. Let's see what... Other people may think, phah.”
"Sure. Oh, and I might have something silly we can try later, if you're interested," I pulled up the management interface and set joining permissions to ‘All’.
“There, done. Now you can get to throw someone around when they inevitably annoy me because of my form. Not that I blame them because, hell, I would call myself ‘hot’. Not that I like it as a term too much, but you get the idea.”
I stretched my arms out, during which Meowers replied.
“You know me already," she smirked teasingly, "Silly stuff is what I'm always up to."
I dropped my arms freely, then answered. “Ok. So, it’s quite simple, really - we find somewhere with a really deep pool, one of those boards to jump off of… without breaking it, preferably, and just see how gigantic of a splash you make bombing into it.”
The end of that sentence was accompanied by my hands moving outward, illustrating that I expected a lot of water to go flying.
Meowers’ eyes opened widely as if a switch had been flicked, her lips stretched into a devilish grin and her hands clenched into fists, which she raised above her knees and shook a little up and down several times.
"Yeah! Hells-friggin'-yeah! Let's find ourselves that pool right now!"
Quickly, she got up from the bench, back on her feet again and looked around almost instinctively, even while realising, or aware, that she wasn’t going to find such a construction in the immediate surroundings.
"Aaaaah this is going to be friggin’ fun!"
Being the creator of this ‘server’, I had the option of placing things where I desired, and a generic pool tile was one of those things. But that seemed a bit cheap and ‘cheesy’ to do.
”I could just place a pool right here, but that wouldn’t be fun, would it?”, I told her. “If this city simulator is worth anything, they’ve got to have a … whatever you call the place with lots of pools, slides and stuff again. I totally forgot. But I haven’t been to one in a few years, so it might be nice.”
My legs began to move without much of a direction in mind, after getting up from the bench in turn… then stopped when my brain caught up, looking at Meowers instead.
“Uh, actually, before we go, you might want to think about which depth of pool you’re gonna jump into. I don’t think even three meters is gonna do it for you.”
"Hm. We could take a look once we find one. I think this place should have a map," thinking aloud on the go, she nodded towards the gates of that little park we were in. "And that's the perfect spot to place one."
After a little bit of searching, one such location appeared on the map.
"Hm, look," Meowers put her finger onto the schematics and traced a path. "Shouldn't take long to reach one... Over there. A public pool with all kinds of... Related stuff, I guess."
"I don't think it's overcrowded, yet we aren't going to be completely alone there. And, with that experimental idea of yours... People will absolutely hate us. Or absolutely love us. Who knows? Phah," she chuckled, even a little amusedly and nodded towards the general direction of the path we should take.
“Hey, we’re here to have fun, so I don’t see why we should care.”. I replied, while looking off to that public pool, or at least in its general direction - it wasn’t quite visible from here.
“Besides, people are there to get wet, and it’s not like they’ll be irreversibly drenched. On top of that, my server, my rules. They don’t like it, they can find another one.”
With that said, I walked off to go in - it wasn’t too far, as Meowers had said. And the city simulator was accurate enough to have changing cabins, so I went to slip into one. Not technically necessary in a game world, but if it was that detailed, I could as well use them and not ruin how alive the world felt. Plus, I was kind of in need of a moment of self-convincing, to wear the equivalent of underwear in public with this rather curvy body.
Meowers followed me to the cabins, and once I entered mine, a thought appeared in the background of my mind. About her being unable to fit in the cabin properly. And it turned out I was right once I heard thumping sounds of a body hitting the plastic cabin wall, probably in the attempt to fit inside.
"Psssst," I heard a whisper going from the direction of Meowers’ cabin. "I think I've got myself a problem here. Could you, eh... Close my door please once you're done?"
I sighed and rolled my eyes, hearing Meowers' troubles whispered through to my cabin.
"I told you that you should've thought about what you're gonna fit through in that apartment."
The remark was a little louder than intended, but it would probably sound muffled enough to not be audible to anyone but me and her. Since I was already half undressed, I decided to just... finish up first. Dumped my regular bra on a small bench to sit on and replaced it with the appropriate swimwear for the top half. For whatever reason, there was a small mirror in the cabin, through which I could see the... fairly ample cleavage that it presented. But there wasn't really any other option, unless I took one of those awful half-body swimsuits that left way too much of my lower hip area visible.
I took care of the pants and underwear for the lower half, then, slipping into an appropriately sized 'short' that covered my hips and backside, plus a small portion of the thighs. Could have gone more revealing, but not really my style. Then, I came out of the cabin, to find uber-Meowers stuck in a rather precarious and embarrassing position, prompting me to shake my head and sigh in disappointment, as well as some amusement, with hands on my, now partially exposed, hips.
"I'm just not gonna ask. Find me on the other side."
I shut the door quickly and went back to my cabin to pick my clothes, dumping them in a locker. Sealable through virtual ID, apparently. Then I waited for Meowers to finish up, which would probably take a while.
Meowers let out a sigh and then laughed looking at me, sealing her door shut. Then, the thumping sounds continued, probably from her not being successful again.
A muffled voice came from one of the neighbouring occupied cabins and it sounded like “what the heck is going on there”.
“No worries, just slipped a little, everything’s fine”, Meowers replied audibly. However, the sounds from her cabin were still pointing at her facing a challenge.
I hadn’t yet particularly gone anywhere, staying near the lockers where I’d dumped my clothes… when Meowers rushed by. Either a little too eager to hop into the pool, or mistakenly assuming I’d already taken the plunge.
My figure had definitely been attracting a few looks thus, some approving, some studying, and some rather unsure what to make of the disproportionately sized female individual leaning against a wall in a black, not quite unusual bikini - at least the top half was relatively normal, if you could ignore the breasts that were just a little too big for the body they were on.
Almost all of those looks were diverted from me when a two and a half meter maniac rushed out of a changing cabin to go right for the diving boards. As for myself, I had made it to at least a decent observation spot, compared to my planned distance of at least ten meters, when uber-Meowers bombed into the water and sent a comically absurd amount of water both into the air and out to the sides, absolutely showering anybody that was not at least five, probably more, meters away from the pool.
“Bombs away!” I heard her voice just before the giant splash.
It was hard for me to judge the distance that the water actually went before there was a risk of only getting moderately wet, given the enormous size of the tidal splash that had just been unleashed on all the innocent bystanders unfortunate enough to be there. Nor could I see anything at the center of the impact. Some of those bystanders might even have been knocked off their feet by the water.
Unable to contain a grin, I facepalmed while shaking my head in sheer amusement, and tried to casually walk over to the diving boards. I debated between the one meter and three meter option, but decided that I might as well not let my unreasonable hesitations get to me, and went for the three meter option. Meowers was hard to miss in there, now that the water had… slightly… settled.
“Heads up! Make some space down there!”
I hopped off the board and, aiming for somewhere near the figure that was far too tall for any kind of reasonability, while forming that same bombshell. Because I could. The splash was sizable, especially for someone of my weight, and definitely showered Meowers. It was probably also helped by the additional impact surface that a certain enlarged lower half of my body provided. Though, even without that, I knew that I was capable of making quite the splash. When I surfaced, I shook my head to get the hair out of my eyes, and watched an oversized Meowers rock on the waves I’d just created in the pool.
“You know, I was going to say something about the tidal wave you’d make and how I’d stay away at least ten meters, since my extra mass probably wouldn’t have kept me on my feet anyway, but I’m not sure those ten meters would have been enough.”, I told her, then swam over to the border of the pool, not too bothered to try floating, or swim in place.
“And you ran right past me at the lockers, by the way.”
"Ah, there you a... Aaaaw!" Meowers shook her head violently to sweep off more water and wet hair, with a barely suppressed laughter, turning it into a giggling-gruntling noise with her hand pressed tightly against her mouth. Then, apparently when her vision returned to her, she saw me next to the pool border and swam closer, putting her both forearms and elbows on it.
"I guess we aren't making any friends here...", finally able to punch some words through a hardly containable urge to laugh madly, she looked at me and then, slowly turning her head left to right, at the people around the pool.
“Friends? Pf. I didn’t think we were here for that.”, I replied in a casual tone. “Besides, some people did enjoy the show. Or, at least, they were watching me, not that I can tell if it was because of these …”
I raised my left hand out of the water and kind of pointed the arm in the direction of my breasts, not caring too much that we were in public.
“… or, you know, that other half. I think they all stopped looking because of the water that splashed over everyone in… however far it went, though. Pretty damn far, I’d say, because it damn near hit me with a few drops over there.”
I pointed toward the entrance to the pool area.
"So. Did you like my performance?" Meowers tried to sound teasingly, also making a wink, but that was hardly possible since she had been on the brink of bursting into laughter.
“Of course I liked your performance.”, I told her. “I suggested the whole idea in the first place, after all. You’re hella awkward being that tall, so we might as well use that to our advantage. And, I guess, amusement.”
"Phah. Awkward? What makes you think so? I think I'm...", she pressed her elbows against the pool border and pushed the entire body upwards a little, arching her back and glancing at my face with her head tilted slightly. "I'm powerful. Resilient. Determined. All that in... Quite a nice-looking package, I guess. In other words, perfect."
"Phaaaaahahahaha...", the laughter she was containing eventually got the best of her, she relaxed her arms and slid lower to the pool. Quickly turning, checking that there's nobody behind, she moved her weight on one of the forearms, stretching the second one to me, with the index finger pointed at me.
"Boop!" She tried to touch my nose with a finger, yet I pulled my head away before that intrusive finger made contact with my nose, not finding it particularly enjoyable or funny, despite realizing the innocent meaning of that gesture. And it kind of felt like that finger was almost the size of my nose, further justifying the reaction in my head.
Meowers then placed both her feet onto the wall underwater, adding more strength to the push and launched herself backwards, causing splashes and waves. "Wwwooooo!"
“It might not look obvious to you, but yeah, a two and a half meter giant is generally a bit odd to be near.”, I remarked to Meowers, when there was an opportunity for me to be heard.
I decided to come out of the water slightly, sitting on the border of the pool with my legs partly inside it.
“I might go and try to find a water slide. If there is one in the other parts of this water park. Not sure if you’ll be able to fit on one of those, though.”
"Weeee!" Another childish sound from Meowers reached me.
She floated in the water, much to amusement, or maybe terror, or both, of those nearby. Then she straightened, putting her legs to work to stay afloat, and cupped her hands over her mouth.
"Hey, but I'm friendly! And cute!" Meowers shouted, and then added with a quiet voice, audible maybe only to herself, but it was clearly lip-readable to those who could - which wasn’t me. "Maybe."
When I was on my way to find a slide already, I heard her voice behind me once more.
"Hey!... Phhhahah... I'll wait for you... Phhhh... Can't miss the show, you know?"
I stopped and turned around to face Meowers.
“Wait for me how? Actually, nevermind.”
I wasn’t quite sure how she meant it, but didn’t care enough to think on it much. My water sliding experience had priority, and I’d spotted a suitable set already, up on a tower designed for that purpose.
