Can a game be a dream come true? Jorah has found a world where he can be Megan Proxy, exploring his own gender identity even while exploring a cyberpunk world that is more than it seems. Something in the world isn't working quite right, but is that a product of the game, or of the fact that the game is using his brain as a mainframe for its processing? Will he be able to enjoy living as a woman, or will he be too busy trying to avoid getting killed for the things that he finds while he takes on the role of Megan? Will the secrets that she uncovers be enough to keep her alive, or will he have to process the loss of his female self so soon after finding a way to finally indulge her?

Playing by Proxy

Megan stood outside the office of Connor Proclaw's office and flexed her hand. It felt just like it did before, but she knew it wasn't the same. If she flexed her fingers out wide, blades slid out from under her fingernails or disappeared beneath them. And if she squeezed her thumb, she'd generate enough of a charge that it would incapacitate a person, the length of time based on their Wits and their total HP. 


She tapped a finger against her teeth, wishing she had thought to get a few combat chips while she was at it. Her unarmed combat was high, and that's what the blades on her hand would primarily use. She didn't have a gun. But there were still other options. She wished she had chosen one of them.
