When Jon activated the game, he immediately got pulled into it.
Going over to VR was so intense that he had to shut his eyes. When he opened them, he saw that everything looked real, not like a video game, but more like a movie.
He looked around. He appeared to be in some sort of massive, oddly blue tinted stone passageway. It was narrow, and where he was standing opened into a high ceiling. He thought he could see the ceiling open into a room somewhere above him, but there were no stairs or other means of access.
Jon tried to walk further down the hall to get a better look, but when he took a step he found himself launching into the air. The strangely thick, blue air...
"Water!" He exclaimed, or would have if his voice hadn't been muffled by the liquid that surrounded him. He was under water.
Frantically, he swam up the passageway, holding his breath desperately until he could find an air source, becoming even more alarmed when he felt something brush against his legs in the blue murk. But he found no air. Only endless, water filled passages.
Finally, he could hold his breath no longer. Dark spots dancing in front of his eyes, Jon found himself gulping down water, filling his lungs with it, knowing with a dark certainty that he was about to die.
But he didn't. His vision cleared, and his head no longer felt like it was stuffed with cotton. He took another cautious breath, felt the water flow freely into his lungs, filling them with oxygen. He could breathe under water!
Panic abated, he looked down for what had spooked him by brushing his leg, expecting to find a strand of seaweed. Instead, he found a massive shiny fin waving against his smooth blue thigh.
Suddenly fearful again, Jon hurriedly examined himself. His skin was blue all over, totally hairless, and rubbery to the touch like a dolphin's. From his hips and forearms, large, mottled, almost luminescent fins fanned out around his slim, dainty hands and legs. And on his chest bounced two unmistakably shapely mounds.
He was Princess Ruto.
