Virtually Secretive

Today, Hell flounced out of a virtual reality session, looking...trying to pick the right word here...flustered? Panicked? Shocked? A combination of the three? Something happened during VR, of course, but since I'm not privy to the insides of brains (YET), I do not know what brought about Hell's rattled state of mind. And she was rattled. I'm using words I do not usually pick from my vocab. program, dudes.

I checked up with Dr. Kirkland, the attending physician to the VR program, but he didn't look worried or concerned. The stats sheets look about normal, with spikes here and there. So, it wasn't a medical emergency or that the experiment failed, or something.

Hmm. Therefore, something succeeded. I'm thinking the Monitor has succeeded at something. What say you? Computation: 89 percent.

But I'm curious. What did he do to Hell? A Super Soldier Spy doesn't walk around flushed and rattled!

Catch Up With One Assassin

Marlena is in DC causing havoc with the CIA again. Reportedly refused a Porsche this time round. Wazzup with that, dudes? That's Lena's favorite toy. She's asked for two...lackeys. I smell a lover's quarrel in there somewhere. Before...or after DC trip?

Of course, Steve McMillan, her Stash, isn't too happy. He's busy with another assignment in Europe. Far away from DC. Aw, come on, Stash, what trouble can Lena get into? Just don't read the gossip pages the next few days, that's all. Sandcrabs, you have to try to explain to me about this jealousy thing. I still don't fully get it.

Getting Ready

From Hell's Journal:

Today T gave me one of her rings. Put it on my finger herself. I told her if she was a man...she just grinned at my joke but didn't explain what the ring was for. I've been playing around with it but couldn't find anything. Maybe it's some kind of locator? Who knows with T? I'll just wear it till she tells me what it's all about.

Then there is my avatar-trainer. I wonder whether the man is as comfy walking around naked like that in real life? Because he seems awfully at ease doing so in virtual reality. Yes, of course, it's JUST virtual reality but this program plays with my mind and my reality like...oh...hmm, remember that crazy movie from way back, the one that had cartoons walking around with humans...Jessica Rabbit? That's how I feel while I'm in VR, except that HE's not a naked cartoon. Yet the action we share in VR is almost like a cartoon--yesterday we jumped off a building. He's naked. I'm not.

Crazy........

**************************
Yup, you two are just doing crazy things in VR, aren't you, Hell? Insert knowing grin.

TIVRRV

Remember when I told you that the Hell experiment is called TIVRRV? Today, the monitor has told Dr. Kirkland that the first part, TIVR, Total Immersive Virtual Reality, has been a success. He didn't elaborate. I won't elaborate about the second part. You'll just have to wait.

A Virtual Workout

I know why Hell is frustrated. Ya get the same thought too?

Insert evil grin.

A Mind Game Going On

From Hell's journal:

It should bother me that he's watching me. Yet it doesn't? Why is this so? He watches me when he shouldn't be. I know it. Even Eight Ball has confirmed that he does it when I swim in the nude. But it'll take more than that kind of intimidation to stop me from doing what I want. I LIKE swimming in the nude. He's probably a horny fat bastard getting his kicks.

When I bring it up in VR, he so damnably smart pointed out that I made him nude, so why couldn't he watch me nude in his kind of reality. I hate having my NOPAIN turned back against me.

My question is: has the brainwave synchronization process made us so comfortably "aware" of each other? Or it really attraction on my part? And how could one be attracted to an avatar? It's damn confusing. It's him. Yet it's not. It's not HIM touching me, yet I'm sure he's responding to MY touches too. Can't analyze. Just got to go with the flow, or go insane.

All I know is, once this process is over, we go into deep immersive virtual reality, and I've a feeling that there's no turning back then. He's doing something to me...I just don't know what it is.

Ah Helen, he is manipulating your mind. Distracting you. Making you think one thing while he's doing something else. It's not just your body he wants. I know this. But it's okay. Part of the big experiment.
