I REGRET MUCH

Im sorry.

Abbigale logged onto her computer, humming. Opening up Discord she smiled, happy to chat with these people who she once would have called strangers, but now considered close friends. They were there for her when she moved after all, and they'd been chatting for 2 years afterwards. Throughout that time, Flora's streaming had gotten big, really big, and she was actually making a lot of money. Concern masked the small female's face as she realized she had a message. Who could that be from? Hopefully Flora's child hasn't gotten hurt again... But as she opened it up, it turned out to be from a new channel. 'Original Discord members' A little aw escaped from her mouth- a chat for the original members was super cool, and she was really proud to be one of them. Now, to find the message... It was from Flora, addressed to all the members of this new channel.

'Hey everyone! I wanna do a big stream on a new minecraft server, maybe do a competition or something, with VR. I know some of you guys don't have that much money, so i have prepaid and will send them to you- and before you complain about me spending money, the company is sponsoring me to try them!' There was already a couple responses, and she scrambled to respond as well

'OMFG Flora!!!!!!!!! That's so nice of you!!!! When are we gonna dvo it tho?' A grin spread across her face as she looked at the message, waiting for a response. God she loved these guys.

'How about next weekend- it's the long one, with four days?' Flora typed back. Quickly Abbigale opened her calendar, checking that date.

'Yeah, that's perfect, my family is going to be away, so i wont bug them!' Several confirmations came through as well. Then Flora texted it again,

'I guess that's settled then, try to be there at 11:00 am, Eastern Time. We should test b4 the stream' Abbigale's grin widened, not fading even when her Mom yelled for her to start doing the dishes.

[Time skip to that weekend]

Everyone was in a voice call, their computers set up with the brand new world.

"Okay everyone put on the headsets!" She grabbed her headset and put it on. Suddenly a wave of dizziness washed over her, and the world went black. She woke up in a field, several other people around her.

"Hello??" She said, sitting up before immediately regretting it, black spots flashing like when you have an iron deficiency. She yelped holding her head, before scrambling backwards, suprised. Was that fur???

"...what the fuck...?" Looking down at herself, she had on the same purple sweater as her minecraft character. Suddenly she was extremely annoyed that she didn't have a more humanoid minecraft skin. This gorgeous world, and she had to experience it as a goddamned furry. For fucks sake. It sure as hell felt real... She looked over at the other players, un-surprised to see them going through similar realizations. Most of them had humanoid skins though, so surely it wasn't that bad...? (Apart from Whumpes but they seemed pretty chill about it) Crimson seemed to be enjoying it, playing around with the robotic arm his character had. Abbigale- or rather Dragon, as that was her name around them- pouted as she realized he was STILL taller. No fair.

"So... this is a hell of a lot more realistic than I was expecting" She said, laughing nervously. Several faces turned towards her. She cursed herself silently as their attention turned to her. Why couldn't she make a normal skin for christ sake?

"...No joke" Came Flora's voice. Glad that the attention was off her, Dragon spotted a nearby river. Making her way over, she looked down at her reflection.

"...Shit." It was waaaaayyyyy more like she normally drew her persona than she expected, much better than a minecraft skin. Suddenly she yelped, seeing something move behind her... which turned out to be a tail. Her tail.

"For fucks sake..." She made her way back to the group, cursing herself. They seemed to be doing much better than her, a couple already mining trees. She looked up, and saw the sun was setting. Shit. She hurried faster.

"Yeah uh Flora? Crimson? The sun is setting..."

"Oh"

"Yeah, we should probably make a shelter then" Dragon quickly raced over to help Mars, Whumpes, Tree and Sunny mine wood, which behaved exactly like regular minecraft wood would. After collecting a couple stacks. Racing back over to them, she gave Crimson, Flora and her child each a bundle of wood, ignoring Pink's complaints. Whumpes and Mars had both figured out earlier that if you tapped on your upper arm your inventory would pop up. As they set to work building, she headed back, planning on getting more. Sunny passed by, giving her a sword, which they had made enough for everyone. She quietly hummed as she chopped more wood, not noticing that the sun had set. Then a scream rang through the forest, clear as a bell. She yelped and ran back- or tried to run back to them... there was a hell of a lot of mobs here, that had snuck up while she was distracted.

Frantically she slapped at her arm, trying to get out her sword. From the sounds of it, the others were fighting too. She screamed as an arrow pierced her arm, real pain, real blood following. Her feeble wooden sword was no match for the mobs surrounding her, and soon she was overwhelmed, the world going black once more as death took her.

The others were having much better luck, half finishing the house while the other half fended mobs away. Soon the house was done and they scurried inside, safe at last. Nobody had any beds, so they would have to wait out the night. Pink was clenching his teeth, an arrow in his side. He was probably the one to scream originally, though he was sure as hell putting up a good show of it not hurting, probably because the poor child was frightened. Everyone was breathing heavily, terrified.

"I-i don't want to play anymore," Tree said quietly. He had fought really well but they had also gotten a nasty cut on their leg, and silent tears rolled down their face. It obviously hurt.

"Neither do I," Flora's child said. They were obviously scared. Several other people agreed.

"Uh hate to break it to you, but how do we do that?" Crimson asked, shining light on the problem.

"Crap." Several tried patting their bodies, seeing if an escape menu would appear as it had the inventory. It didn't. Shit. Panic ensued. But why wouldn't it honestly?

"Hey guys..? Where the fuck did dragon go???" Flora said. Oh. That was an issue.
