You come to in the middle of the rain with Julia beside you.
"Julia what the hell is going on?"
Julia looks very troubled.
"Um well my father talked a lot about this VR program. I really didn't pay attention to all of it but he was working with some other people and I think there was a concern that the AI they developed may have started producing its own code. I really don't know if that blue eyed agent talked about the AI or my fathers partner as the other user."
You're heart starts to beat faster, "Wait so you mean we aren't safe? Like we could die in here?"
Julia bit her lip, "Well you know how they say if you die in a dream you don't wake up? That's something that could happen here. The shock of 'death' could cause your body to go into cardiac arrest or you could turn into a vegetable. Of course there are fail safes but those look like they have been stripped somehow."
You still can't believe what you are hearing, you sit down in the rain trying to take it all in.
Julia says, "But hey we aren't defenseless in here either. You can control your appearance in here. You have control over your own personal space, though another user could interfere and it takes a bit of concentration. Here, let me give you an example."
Suddenly Julia's outfit vanished and instead she was wearing a tight latex catsuit and holding an AK47. Julia grinned and said, "Now you try."
Hmm you think, if you could wear something what would you do? You ask Julia a few questions.
"So say I decide to wear Kevlar and you shoot me with that weapon, it would be stopped?"
She nods her head.
"What if I wore armor instead?"
Julia thought for a second,
"Well, armor probably wouldn't be stopping any bullets."
You scratch your head for a second.
"Well what if I wore magical armor, is it based on my imagination or what?"
Julia stopped to think for a moment.
"Honestly, I don't know. But I don't think you can just think 'I'm wearing invincible armor" and have it equipped, I believe it has to have a real world equivalency."
Just as she finished talking a horde of humanoid creatures, some with your features and wielding knifes appeared on the street ahead of you.
