V.R. - Virtual Regression
Nachtara, or Nachie, as he preferred it, was standing in front of a front door, tapping his forepaw. He’d knocked on the door five times, and he was starting to get worried that Randy wasn’t home.
Nachie pulled out his phone and checked the message he had gotten a second time.
“Hey, Nach.
Heard you were in town. I’ve got a really cool new game you have to check out.
Randy.”
Nachie frowned. That was definitely an invitation, and the time stamp was recent. So where the heck was Randy?
The Umbreon sighed. He didn’t have time for this. It was getting light outside, and he wasn’t much a fan of being caught out in the daylight. His blue rings flared a little with his annoyance.
He texted Randy, “Hey! I’m at your front door. Where are you?”
Nachie waited a minute, and was just about to give up and leave when he picked up the sound of the door unlocking.
The door creaked open slightly, and a bleary-eyed Riolu peeked out from behind it.
“Hey, Randy!” said Nachie. “Why didn’t you answer the door when I knocked?”
Randy rubbed his eyes. “Sorry. I was playing a video game.” He blinked a little and looked outside. “What time is it?”
Nachie checked his phone. “4 PM, bree.”
“Holy balls!” exclaimed Randy.
“What?”
Randy sniffed a little and cringed. “I started playing this morning.”
“Wow, that must be an amazing game, bree!” said Nachie excitedly.
“It is, it really is.” Randy started getting a little shifty. “Maybe too amazing.”
“What do you mean?” Nachie suddenly smelt it. “Bree!” he exclaimed. “What is that smell?!”
“I’ve been playing non-stop since breakfast,” admitted Randy.
Nachie was simultaneously impressed and disgusted. “I think you need a change, bree.”
“Yeah. Why don’t you come in?” Randy opened the door the rest of the way and beckoned Nachie in.
Nachie stepped forward, but his nose made him stop. “Ahem.” Nachie gestured at Randy’s loaded diaper.
Randy blushed a little and turned away. “I’m gonna go get changed. Close the door behind you.” He quickly waddled off down a corridor.
Nachie came into the house once the smell dissipated and closed the door behind him, like Randy asked. His mind wandered. From his interactions with Randy before, he knew that his little friend wore diapers, but he had no idea he was so willing to use them. Although, maybe the game was so engaging that Randy didn’t realize he used his diaper.
That just got Nachie even more excited about the game, and a little bit jealous of Randy’s diapers. He never really got the chance to wear them, but always kind of wanted to, despite the fact that a grown-up Umbreon like him couldn’t be seen wearing them in public.
Nachie paced around a little and checked his phone. In a few minutes, Randy appeared at the end of the hallway in a fresh diaper.
“So, are you here to play the game?” asked Randy.
Nachie nodded eagerly. “Of course! I’m really excited about it, especially if it’s so good you don’t even notice messing yourself!”
Randy blushed deeply. “Yeah. It’s really really good. It’s VR. It’s like you’re a part of the game.”
“VR, huh?”
“Yeah. I’ve even got a low-friction surface and harness to simulate walking.”
Nachie’s eyes went wide. “Wow, bree. Where did you get that?”
Randy winked. “I have infinite money cheats.” He leaned in and whispered, “Rosebud.”
Nachie almost heard a cash register ring in the distance, but it could have been his imagination. He shook his head. “Um, can I try the game?”
Randy nodded. “Yeah, on one condition.” He held up a thick diaper. “You gotta wear one of these.”
Nachie was surprised. “What!?”
“I don’t want any spills on the hardware,” said Randy matter-of-factly.
Nachie huffed a little. “I don’t plan on wetting myself.”
Randy shook his head. “This game can really get to you.”
Nachie sighed and took the diaper. “If it means I get to play the best VR game ever, I’m okay with wearing a diaper.”
“Oh, it’s so worth it,” said Randy. “Besides, diapers are comfy!”
Nachie nodded in agreement as he unfolded the diaper. It smelled like baby powder.
--------------------------------------------
One diaper change later, Nachie was being introduced to the VR system. It was in it’s own room, and as promised there was a harness suspended from the ceiling over a very play mat.
“Here, put on these booties. That way the system can track your paws.” Randy handed Nachie some silver-colored booties.
“Alright.” Nachie put on the booties and suddenly found that he was slipping around on the floor. He could barely stand up, and felt like a baby Eevee again, from how hard it was to walk. “These are really slippery!”
“That’s why I have the harness.” Randy started strapping Nachie in.
Nachie was getting really excited by this point. This was next-gen technology. The harness fit snugly around Nachie’s body like a onesie tethered to the ceiling, and it took the weight off his feet. It was like being carried around by a giant. Nachie tried running, and ended up going nowhere.
“Yep. It’s working. Are you ready for the best game ever?” asked Randy.
Nachie nodded. “I’m ready.”
Randy slid the VR headset over Nachie’s head. “Play for as long as you like. I’ll come get you when I want a turn.” He pulled it down over his eyes, and Nachie was suddenly in a whole different place.
--------------------------------------------
Nachie looked around in awe. He was in an elegant dressing room, decked with all sorts of details. “It’s so realistic!”
“Welcome to Gran Infans VR,” said a giant voice. “Automatically creating avatar...”
A mirror popped up in front of Nachie, and an Umbreon just like him appeared in it. He moved around and it traced his movements, but the face stayed static. “I guess it’s not tracking my face...”
Nachie wandered around in the VR environment, interacting with various things. He started running down hallways of the virtual mansion with reckless abandon. Nobody was going to tell him what to do; he was in charge, now!
At the recommendation of a few signs placed around the mansion, Nachie jumped around and found himself flying through the air. The sensation of flying felt incredible. This setup was cool!
The giant voice boomed. “Tutorial complete. Nod to begin campaign.” Nachie nodded.
Nachie was transported to a whole new environment, and he started receiving information about his missions.
--------------------------------------------
Nachie was running through what must have been his eighth or ninth mission. He was starting to get tired, but he was still totally engaged.
“This action-adventure stuff is really tiring, bree,” said Nachie breathlessly. “How long have I been playing?” He shifted a little. “Gotta pee...”
As he ran through a fancy hotel, Nachie saw a bathroom in the corner of his eye. He went inside the bathroom and found a trench urinal for quadrupeds. Running on auto, he cocked his leg and let go.
Unexpectedly, he felt his entire crotch area grow warm. Looking down at his bottom, he noticed that he didn’t seem to be peeing. Nachie caught his reflection in the bathroom mirror, and noticed his VR avatar. He was dressed up in his combat gear, upgraded and customized from all the prizes in earlier missions.
Still peeing, Nachie processed what he was watching. “Wait...” His eyes went wide. “Oh!”
Nachie had forgotten he was playing the VR game. He had just… “I just wet myself,” he said, shifting his legs and feeling the wetness. He was a little embarrassed to have done it accidentally on purpose, but he quickly got over it. He tried to walk back to the game, but found that his diaper had swollen up, and he now noticeably waddled.
Looking in the mirror again, he thought it was odd to see his avatar waddle without a visible reason to do it. As he thought that, the giant voice came up again.
“Adjusting avatar...”
Nachie felt a sensation of falling briefly, and watched as a big diaper materialized on his VR avatar. He felt his cheeks flush with embarrassment. This VR game had all sorts of weird features. Although, Nachie was primarily worried that this would negatively affect his stats. He felt a bit lighter and smaller, though, so he didn’t worry too much.
Nachie quickly got back to the game, a crinkling sound echoing through the halls of the VR environment.
--------------------------------------------
A few missions later, Nachie was working through a slower mission. He was really glad that the game wasn’t harder now that he had a diaper on. If anything, it got a bit easier. This mission involved investigating the bad guys, or something. Nachie wasn’t really paying too much attention to the plot, caring much more about the immediate action.
He frowned a little. This last puzzle was really stumping him. He had to figure out how to unlock a door, but he couldn’t figure out the combination. The piece of paper he had was totally incomprehensible. Nachie was shaking his legs a little, too. Something else to worry about. He looked in a nearby mirror and gave it an annoyed look. “This is getting annoying...”
Nachie shifted a little and wet himself again. That made him relax. His diaper swelled some more, and his hind legs were pushed further apart, both in-game and in real life.
“Adjusting difficulty,” said the giant voice.
Nachie felt like he was falling again, and his mind got a little bit cloudy. Looking in the mirror again, he saw that he was definitely a little bit smaller, but still an Umbreon.
“Bree? What was that?” Nachie looked down at the combination. It suddenly made a lot of sense. He just had to make the pin the right colors.
He quickly unlocked the door and waddled onto his next mission.
--------------------------------------------
“Vee...” Nachie wet himself again. He was taking a break in the open-world environment. It was nice to relax. After hours of playing, Nachie was really glad to have a break. He was getting a little thirsty. “Where can I get a drink around here?”
Nachie wandered through the city, looking for a store or vending machine or something. As he passed by a glass storefront, he caught his reflection. He paused to look at himself.
Nachie had a comically inflated diaper on his butt. How many times had he used it? How long had he been playing? Looking at himself, he noticed that he wasn’t nearly as dark as usual. Where were his rings?
Nachie flicked his ears. He looked more closely at the silver Eevee in the reflection. Something seemed not right about that. But what was it? He moved all his paws around, and there wasn’t anything wrong with the motion tracking. It took a moment, but then he realized it. His avatar was a generic Eevee model. He had more tails than a normal Eevee. He wondered…
“Computer?” he called.
“Yes, Eevee?”
“How long I been playing?”
“Twenty hours.”
Nachie’s eyes bugged out. He had been playing for almost a day. He had better quit. “End game.”
“Exiting VR...”
--------------------------------------------
The screen blanked and Nachie removed his headset. Looking around, Nachie found himself blinking a lot. He was exhausted from his play session.
“Dat game was amazing, vee.” Looking back at himself, he saw an Eevee with an abundance of tails and a massively inflated diaper behind him. “Oof. Who needs potties?” He giggled.
Nachie was hanging loosely in the harness. Why was it so loose? Hadn’t he been strapped in snugly? He couldn’t get out. Uselessly flapping his paws around, unable to get out. Nachie was trapped. The little Eevee started to panic.
“Help! Uuwaaah!” He started crying. He wet himself again, and felt like he was falling again. Nachie’s mind clouded up even further.
The door opened, and a very surprised Riolu came through it. “Nachie!? You’re still here?”
“I stuck!” exclaimed the baby Eevee.
“What? Why are you so little?” asked Randy.
Nachie cried and looked at Randy, not totally understanding what he meant.
Randy shook his head and got Nachie out of the harness. Randy was amazed at how little Nachie was, and how big his diaper had gotten. “Um, Nachie, how did you get this way?”
Nachie looked at Randy confusedly. “I play game…?”
“Um, sure,” said Randy. He was even more confused. He focused on more pressing matters. “You need a diaper change.” He clapped his paws. “PAM! Take care of it.”
Robotic arms shot out of the wall and grabbed Nachie, quickly tearing off his diaper, applying baby wipes and powder, and shoving a new one on.
Before Nachie could even react, he was plopped onto the tile again, in a fresh diaper. “Wha…?” Another arm popped out and forced a baby bottle into Nachie’s mouth. Nachie instinctively started suckling at it, and quickly fell asleep. The bottle was full of special sleeping formula for just such an occasion.
Randy sighed. “Good job, PAM. Five stars.”
“Thank you, little master,” said the giant voice.
Randy examined Nachie’s used diaper. “This isn’t from my cursed diaper collection, is it?”
A scanner popped out of the wall and took the diaper. In a few seconds, the computer shot back the results. “Diaper has regression curse. Activates on use.”
Randy sighed. “Of course.” He looked at Nachie apprehensively. “Looks like it’s gonna be a month of diapers for you, Nachie.”
Randy picked up Nachie’s personal effects and put them in a box. “PAM, arrange for Nachie to be sent home with a case of baby diapers. Protocol AB-8.”
“Understood, little master.”
--------------------------------------------
The next day, Nachie woke up in his home. He yawned and smacked his lips.
“I just had the strangest dream, vee.” Nachie paused for a moment and examined himself. He was still an Eevee, and he was wearing a totally loaded diaper.
“WHAT?!”
Nachie panicked for a second, wetting himself some more, and trying to hide himself away with his tails.
“What happened?” asked Nachie, quickly moving to close all the curtains and blinds in his home.
After a moment, he found a box filled with diapers in his new (much smaller) size. A note was included.
“Nachie,
I hope you enjoyed the video game. I might have accidentally given you a cursed diaper that turned you into a baby, but what’s a little age regression between friends? You were really out of it yesterday. Like, full baby. The mental effects should have worn off by now, but you’re going to be physically stuck as a baby for the next month or so.
That means you’re going to need diapers, so here’s a months supply. Hope you know how to change a diaper.
Good luck, and feel free to visit again any time!
-Randy.”
Nachie read the note over a few times. It didn’t really sink in until he realized he had just messed himself. Then the dread, embarrassment, and a little bit of anticipation crept in.
This was going to be a long month.
