In Gerald’s Study

You find yourself in your own IVR bed, but in Sophie's body. You realize that you could return to the IVR, since there is a module right here, but have no idea how to get back to where you were, and you are not sure that you want to. You have no idea where you would end up, except that it would be in one of Sophie's slave fantasies, with you in the title role.

This is your home study, where you relax in intellectual studies or venture into the virtual world. There's a desk here, a cabinet which you know contains some IVR entertainment modules, and a swivel chair. There's a biosupport IVR bed against one wall.

One of the things you have to decide on immediately is who you really are. You aren't really Gerald anymore, but are you really Sophie?

No, you are not Sophie. You are, however, a woman in the real world now, and, more than that, a submissive woman - Gerald's woman. Thinking of yourself as 'Gerald' just isn't applicable anymore. You decide that 'Sophie' is as good a name as any for who you are, for now.

Having resolved that, you get up.

The first order of business, you realize, is that you have to get rid of the clothing you are wearing - a pair of blue jeans, a gray sweatshirt emblazoned with 'Property of ACPD' on it, and gray-and-white running shoes. No bra, socks, or panties. “How typical of Sophie,” you think, before you remember that “Sophie” is you, now.

There is a recycling furnace behind your apartment building, and your first task, now, is to put your clothing in it. You consider that your prince would probably want you to strip here and go to the furnace naked, but you consider that to be impractical under the circumstance. Suppose someone sees you and calls the police or the building super? No, you will go down dressed, and come back naked. The thought of getting caught naked in your own apartment building is strangely exciting – you aren’t “you” after all.

You grab your spare keys from the desk drawer before you go.
