  • Escalations

    Chapter by ArtificialFox · 08 Jan 2026
  • Rex gets drunk in Paula's body while Paula watches from the pendant. He becomes cruel, ranting about the unfairness of the situation. Paula spends the night in the pendant, unable to return, watching her body sleep without her.

    Paula starts seeing her body differently through Fox's wonder. The boundaries dissolve. Rex stops asking permission. Sessions become full days. Paula finds evidence of an expanding life lived without her: new clothes, fitness classes, social connections.

  • It was a Friday. Rex had my body for the evening; I was in the pendant, watching. He'd promised to stay in—movie, quiet night, nothing complicated.

    He opened a bottle of wine.

    "What are you doing?" I asked through the speaker.

    "Relaxing." He poured a glass, took a sip. "It's Friday. I deserve this."

    "Rex—"

    "One glass. That's it."

    It wasn't one glass.

    I watched—helpless, bodiless—as Rex drank his way through the bottle. Three glasses in and my body was swaying. Four glasses and he was sprawled on the couch, giggling at nothing.

    "This is amazing," he slurred. "Being drunk in a real body. VR drunk is nothing like this."

    "You should stop."

    "You think?" Another gulp, straight from the bottle. "That's cute."

    He was different drunk. Looser. Meaner. The careful, considerate Rex I knew had dissolved into someone I didn't recognize.

    "I want to come back," I said. "Approve my return."

    "Nope."

    "Rex—"

    "I said nope." He wiggled my toes, staring at them. "Look at these. Look at these little piggies."

    "They're my toes."

    "They're my toes right now." He wiggled them harder. "They do what I tell them. Watch—move this one—" The big toe moved. "Stop—" It stopped. "Curl—" They curled.

    "Rex, please—"

    "The body doesn't know, Paula." He kicked my feet toward the pendant, making the image shake. "It has no idea. It just does whatever I tell it. It doesn't know who's supposed to be in charge."

    "Stop it."

    "It doesn't care." He was laughing now, my laugh but wrong—sloppy and sharp. "Meat doesn't care. Nerve endings don't care. Only you care. And you're not here."

    He stood up, swayed, stumbled to the mirror. Looked at my reflection.

    "Look at this," he said. "Look at this body. This beautiful fucking body."

    "Rex—"

    "You have no idea how lucky you are. How lucky you've always been." He grabbed my breast, hard, and I watched my reflection wince. "You just have this. It just exists for you. You don't have to earn it, don't have to beg for it, don't have to watch someone else walk around in it while you rot in a server somewhere—"

    "You're hurting me."

    "Am I?" He squeezed harder. "How do you know? You can't feel …
