She gulped, hyperventilating slightly as she switched on the contraption.
Finally.
Finally finally finally, she got one of these new fangled things. Theresa had openly been dismissive of them before, saying she didn't really need such a thing, saying books and comics will suffice for her, but that was really more pragmatism speaking for her. Her family, while not really poor, couldn't really afford expensive luxuries, and she didn't want to make them feel like they had to buy something like this. Theresa really really wanted one, she was envious of others who had it, and she felt left out whenever they talked about some game or other on tech she didn't have.
It took a bit of flailing, looking up guides, and searching through sites, but she finally set it up properly in her room, and turned the game on proper.
Wide eyed with wonder at all the new experience before her, she could barely contain herself when it finally gave her the sliders to play with. Obviously she would change 'that'. Pulling the slider up, she tested the setting out.
And was promptly set with overwhelming nausea. After an hour of break, almost retching and some tea, she finally managed to pull herself back into the game. After that horrifying experience, she refrained from touching the height slider, and started on her other sliders instead. At least she can get a better proportion here.
Gulping, she eyed the more mature settings, and her own appearance. No one would recognize it was her right? So this game even had options like that. Theresa wasn't about to refuse that; she was an adult now, and she can do... 'that' if she wanted to. But the pain option worried her. She wasn't the best at ignoring or tolerating pain, but pain was useful in tell you about injuries and afflictions after all.
"Fu fu fu. I was born to a painful existence, such a level of injury would not faze me!" She declared to no one, flourishing dramatically.
Something like that, perhaps? There were a lot of characters like that in her books after all, especially the Japanese ones. Theresa took a big breath and set the pain option to only 20%. Who knows, maybe it will also be an effective training motivation.
"Ah, Mr Minerva! There will be a lot of adventures in this right?" She asked, already raring to go. With a last push of the button she submitted and finished the character creation.
