Rachel had talked a mean game. She had convinced Luna and Lily to help her in her mission by using something they cared about. Yet she was still nervous.
How could she not be? She was about to willingly step into the domain of some perverted mad scientists who were using their own player base for their experiments. Would she become one herself?
Her fingers tightened around the VR headset, its surface cool and smooth against her skin. It was strange how something so deceptively simple could be the gateway to something so horrific.
She took a slow, measured breath. There was no turning back now.
"Here goes everything I guess…"
She put on the Headset before she laid down on the bed Luna had provided her. The bed was soft but the smell of dust hung heavily in the air. She focused on her surroundings as her words came out slow and deliberate.
"Game. Start"
Everything snapped to black.
No sounds. No touch. No scents.
