In the name of Science!

It all began a couple weeks ago, with the arrival of a curious looking crate from the folks over at "Virtual Online Character Terminal", or ""VOCT" as the stable hands were calling it these days. One of the new ways to have a good time, perhaps with less clean up since most if not all the folks at "The Lab" were more than happy to oblige similar activities in real life. No doubt ordered by one of the boys and charged to the Lab's bank account. But, it's here now, may as well give it a try, right?

"All right Cinder... this thing's pretty scary looking, even for us!" A tall black draft horse called over to a heavy-set Arcanine in an open lab coat, tapping away at a small console, the silver machine humming to life and with a woosh of air, its casing opening to reveal a place for someone to lay down. "Woah... that thing's going to make my claustrophobia explode...!"

Cinder laughed. "It says it'll scan and load you into the playing field in about ten seconds once the lid closes, so just try to ignore it. Besides Flare, you're a shire, you're supposed to be too slow to notice these things!" The fire dog snickered good naturedly, bringing a groan and a shake of the head from the shire.

"Bah! You better take care of the science stuff while I'm in here off duty, Cinder. We did just get that new arrival in, you know. You should go see him, he's quite the good looking canine! Well, almost as good looking as you. Try not to get too much spunk on the controls while you're watching, alright?" The stallion smirked at the grinning pokemon as he got into the metal structure, comforted by knowing he was in his partner's hands as the cover came back down over him. Little did he know he'd be in there a bit longer than expected....

Flare's world went dark for a few moments, then was lit up brightly, or seemingly so, as the VOCT engine started up, displaying the welcome screen and then depositing the black horse into the game's main city. "Woah..... Cinder, you seeing this?" Flare called out, probably looking a bit silly to those around him, but as if to answer, a bit of text came up on the stallion's HUD: 'Cinder: For Science! I got your back, stud.'

Stretching out his seemingly virtual limbs, the shire was admittedly impressed at the detail the scan had picked up. His white muzzle marking was right where it should be, and his feathering appeared a bit fluffier than normal, but that was alright... long flowing tail, check. Nice running mane, double check. Maleness.... triple check. He chuckled a bit, perusing the online help guide for a bit, noting that at least some things would be easier to manage here than back at the labs, and also wondering if there was a system for taking care of that in the pod, too...

Another blip, and a message from the firedog: 'You like being covered in it anyways. :p' "H-hey! Didn't know my thoughts on here were public viewing.....!" A moment passed, then a blip: 'They aren't, but I just know you that well. ;) It says here there's a tournament going on for a new expansion or some such. You should give it a try- your auto-assigned class here is.... uh, White Mage. Could give us some new ideas for the Lab, right?' Reading this caused Flare to let out a half sigh, half laugh. He'd been in the canine enough that he -would- know him, inside and out.

Flare nodded, finding the role assignment oddly appropriate, even if it was meant to be a game about sex and food. Perhaps not in that order, either. Taking his partner's advice, the shire stallion trotted off to join the fun- and have some fun himself.

"Hey Cinder, you there...?" The panting shire queried softly, his belly stuffed with a cute looking fox, his sheath distended by a squirming wolf that had been with the vulpine. This new game was indeed fantastic! What a glorious session that had been... spooge flying everywhere, and more stamina than he could muster in the real world, thanks to the re-energizing properties of his healing class. A stud could get used to this! He just had to remember to substitute them out with chocolate clones before they got hurt. Wouldn't want this fun time to be the last! But why wasn't Cinder replying? "Hey, Cinder! Stop pawing to the replay a sec, we've got trouble....."

This time, a small window appeared in the corner of the shire's vision, and the Arcanine's face grinned sheepishly back at him. "Sorry Flare... was watching ya on the monitor here, and one of the stable boys happened along.... you're uh, very inspirational! And uh, I managed to get the cam set up. Not a lot of instructions came with this thing, you know!" Flare could only imagine the stud being stuffed right into the Arcanine's maw, and it dawned on him that perhaps his partner may have been better suited to entering the pod than him- but then, that wouldn't be fair to everyone else in the game, either.

"Right.... well, run a scan on the pod thing.... before I nommed this tasty canine pair, they told me to relax and enjoy because I wasn't going anywhere... I tried to log out and the command just returned an error. I think.... I'm stuck here in vore land." A worried look crossed over the Arcanine's visage on the display, and the shire could see a concerned look appear on the pokemon's face. "Nothing.... the unit responds it's working 100%, no errors. I don't know what's going on. Let me check the maintenance file...... hold on.... wait, what?!"

This had the shire very much on edge. "What?! What did you find? What's going on?" He whimpered a bit, and as Cinder replied, he shook his head sadly. "You're stuck there. That was no ordinary tournament... they're holding that to kill time since their new expansion borked the system. You would figure that they would've stopped further people from logging in. Genius....sorry stud, I can't get you out without risking serious injury... just roll with it, and I'll keep a closer eye on things here, maybe set up a bigger monitor to check on you."

"You mean set up a big TV so folks can have popcorn and stallion seed while they watch me play on here? Talk about voyeurism at its finest... and I don't even get to watch you guys watch me! Bah... well, the stable hands will enjoy it at least, you may as well go for it." Cinder grinned widely. "Consider it done." With that, the fire dog's face vanished. Having stuff just pop up in his vision was going to take some getting used to, but it could be managed. Meanwhile, following the instructions for continuing the tournament, the heavy horse made his way towards the new expansion area, the city of Hypopharynx.

The first thing Flare noticed was that there were a ton of people here, some looking fairly normal, others looking more monstrous than anything, perhaps a product of the classes they'd been assigned. Doing some mental math, he was relieved that he would not actually have to play with all of these people, but rather perhaps only four or five, depending. Even a stallion's virility has its limits! He stayed silent mostly, observing the crowd, ears perked forward in curiosity, only halfway paying attention to the admin's introduction, whuffling softly as the giant monitors sprung into existence for the main admin to give his piece. He was interrupted only by Cinder's face appearing once again. "Hey... think they'll have more information on getting you out of there if you do well in the tournament?" Flare nodded. "One can only hope... and it's not like we lose anything for trying, right?... Looks like we're moving up to a mountain-type area. Only accessible by cable... or wings, if you have them. Going to be a long walk..." Flare sighed deeply, following the crowd onto the cable car, admiring the city from above as he was slowly lifted up to the start of the next area. The devs had indeed done a nice job on the hub, he thought. He certainly wouldn't mind spending some time there, once he had the option to go back to his own lab at least.

One by one, the assembled players stepped off the car at the top, and promptly vanished. The shire lingered behind a bit, a bit uneased by the whole scene, looking out the window. Nothing but jagged rock, lava, and heat. The stench of the lava flows could be smelled even inside the car, and the equine feared for his nostrils once he was out and about in it. Nothing could be further from his natural comforting pastures back home right about now. "Ugh...a fire zone. Cinder would be thrilled." He halfway expected the Arcy's visage to appear, but nothing this time. "Here's hoping for some good karma..." Flare muttered as he closed his eyes and stepped off the car, and the world changed around him....

"Hey, DIZ, try to keep up will ya?!" A small robot hovered behind a cheetah scrambling over the rocks, making plenty of beeping noises as if to retort the complaint. "Our opponent has to be around here somewhere...what a miserable zone this is. I'll be happier when I'm out of here!" Sci mumbled as he took a slightly high path around a decent sized crater, presumably created by one of the zone's many volcanic eruptions. His lab coat fluttered in the hot gusting wind, a couple potion bottles rattling around in one of the pockets, ready for use. "Bleh... I'm not so sure this is the right way..."

Flare grunted softly as his vision blurred for a second, and shortly found himself in the middle of a bowl. "What the...ok, devs have a sense of humor, putting a horse into a food bowl..." He shook his head, surveying his situation. Nothing but sharp inclines around the sides... the basin about the size of a school football field. He could probably climb his way out, but it was going to take a while. "Who am I kidding? I've got nothing -BUT- time. One hoof in front of the other.." Before he could get too far though, the entire area started to shake violently. "Oh no.... an earthquake? Now?!" Flare fought to suppress his flight instinct, and his ears perked as he heard a loud yowl coming from the north, turning his head in time to see a figure tumbling down the side of the cliff......

Sci was getting more and more disgruntled, having to search such a large barren area for one person was like looking for a needle in a haystack! "They should've made the players warp close together...this is ridiculous." The path Sci was walking on was getting narrower and narrower, and it started to follow the ridgeline of a very large basin. DIZ started to beep loudly, a familiar pattern anyone would know: S O S. "What? What's wrong DIZ?" Before DIZ could start to sound out "Q U A K E" the entire area shook violently, tossing the cheetah momentarily off balance. Sci jumped to the side, right onto the slope of the basin, losing his footing and starting to tumble down the side. Letting out a loud yowl of shock and pain as he fell, he came to a halt at the base of the wall with a groan.

Flare took off like a shot towards the fallen figure, knowing whoever it was would be in dire need of some of his healing abilities, running as fast as his heavy hooves would take him over the once again silent earth. "Hold on, I'm coming!" He shouted ahead of him, not thinking that the only person he could see was the person he was supposed to eat, more concerned with their welfare for the moment. Soon enough he arrived at the fallen player, groaning and still conscious after such a mighty fall. "It's good that some things are virtual", the stallion thought to himself as he knelt down.

It looked to be a young handsome cheetah, a fellow scientist if the ragged lab coat was any indication... Flare payed no mind to the Robot hovering a slight distance away, carefully tugging off the cheetah's lab coat to check for injuries... plenty of scrapes and bruises, and the lab coat was wet... something had shattered in the front pocket and spilled onto the feline. "Hang in there... I'll have you feeling better in no time. Here goes.." Flare concentrated on his healing abilities, his hands glowing a soft greenish white as he pressed them gently on the cat's chest. "Epona....grant me the strength to heal the wounded.... Cure!" He uttered under his breath, and the glow spread from his hands over the cheetah's entire body, cuts mending, bruises fading away as if they'd not occurred at all... Sci's counter on the HUD slowly going from 300% fall damage, back to 0%. He started to come around, and was greeted by the shire's smiling face. "Hey there... c'mon, wake up.... are you alright? You took a nasty fall...."

"W-what..?" Sci blinked, blue eyes gazing curiously back at his benefactor as he came to, realizing this was his opponent... helping him? And why did his groin feel like it was on fire still?.... Something wasn't right, and the feline would prop himself up against the wall he just fell down, panting deeply..."Those potions... where are they?..." He searched in his lab coat, but only found shards of glass. His sheath was aching now, his erection tenting out his shorts almost painfully so. "Oh boy....I think I'm going to need some more help, big guy..." Sci blushed lots....he'd splashed himself with a potion of intense arousal... but this horse seemed the caring type, so perhaps he could turn this to his advantage after all.

Flare grunted deeply, nodding softly to the cheetah, seeing the poor guy under the effects of something similar to what he had back in his own lab. Virility potions.... a lot of fun, until you realize that your hard on isn't going away after just one round. Or two, for that matter. "Mmmmph.... certainly... I know how that goes all too well...." The stallion's own sheath was swelling at the sight, and he slowly disrobed, then helped the cheetah release his own maleness. "My name's Flare... who might you be?..." The stallion whuffled, getting on his knees and nuzzling up along the cheetah's leg.."

"It's Scitheon..... mmmph....call me Sci...." Pre was already forming on the feline's member, and the shire noted that he might be a crossbreed as he had a canine knot. Plenty of experience with those thanks to Cinder, he thought. Flare gave the hapless cheetah a look over from his position below, slowly taking the aching flesh into his muzzle... Sci was quite the handsome fellow, black spots over most of his hide, cute black ears, brilliant blue eyes... this game truly attracted all types. The shire started to run his hands over the cat's soft white belly, observing the cheetah's tail sliding slowly back and forth beneath...

"Easy now... I'll take care of you, Sci.... " Flare, being a shire was almost eight feet tall, and made quite the intriguing sight for anyone looking on as the cheetah was a good deal smaller than him, able to take Sci's shaft into his muzzle with relative ease. Suckling on it tightly, the shire used his hands to rub underneath at the cheetah's rump and tailring. He could feel Sci pressing up into his muzzle, starting to hump as the potion of arousal took full hold. "Ungh....that's good..." Flare's own stallionhood slapped up against his belly now and again, tail flicking in excitement as he was eager to help the cheetah find some release from his lust-induced haze, letting him start to hump his muzzle and press into his throat a bit, broad tongue teasing the feline's curious knotflesh.

"Good horse... that's it... " Sci moaned happily as he held onto the shire's mane and started to let himself go a bit... if he used this potion of arousal to keep going while he tired out the equine... this would be a piece of cake, and a good lay, to boot! Felines were known for being able to orgasm multiple times unaided, so the potion would surely amplify that, at least he hoped. He felt his first load surging on, groaning happily as he thrusted into the equine's muzzle, spraying a load of cheetah spunk down his throat, tail lashing in pleasure as he made the shire sputter a bit and whinny. "Mmmph...."

Flare blushed as he swallowed down what Sci gave him, slowly drawing his muzzle off the still hard shaft, licking his lips* "Hurrr.....that tastes good...." The horse would nuzzle at the cheetah's tummy lightly, giving it a lick, noticing that Sci's cock was starting to throb even harder, the knotflesh fully engorged and seemingly still full of seed to give.... "Mmm...looks like I'm not done yet..." He whuffled deeply, running his hands up the cheetahs chest, moving to straddle him, tail hiking to the side as he reached underneath him, giving the throbbing meat a couple of light tugs before pressing it to his tailring, kneeling down a bit such that his stallionhood lay on the cheetah's chest...." Don't mind my stallionness, Sci... " he nickered lowly.

Sci blushed profusely as the shire moved to ride him, letting his hands rub up and down the stud's cock... here was a perfect chance to start wearing him down, and Sci leaned his head forward, groaning with pleasure as his own cock vanished into the equine's tight rump, licking on the stud's sensitive tip even as the shire leaned on his shoulders for support, eventually taking a good portion of the stud's maleness into his muzzle and beginning to stroke such that each time the stallion rose off his own cock, he was forced to hump into the clever cheetah's muzzle. "Mmmmph... don't mind.... if I do...."

The heavy draft horse rumbled deeply as he felt Sci's knot pressing in and out of his supple tailring, enjoying being spread comfortably wide, shivering in bliss as he felt his own shaft receiving some much needed attention. He was already on edge, but determined to milk the cute cheetah boy until he could give no more, tightening his tail down and riding him hard, already feeling the feline starting to hump up into him again... "Mmmmph.... get..ready...!"

The cheetah grinned as he listened to the shire... this was it! He started to press as deep under the stallions tail as he could get, searching to hit the studs prostate with the tip of his cock, feeling his loins surging under the potions effect and starting to pulse thick hot strands of seed into that equine rump, triggering the stud's own orgasm, whinnying loudly as several large jets of seed plastered the cheetah's muzzle, gulping down what he could get into his muzzle, tail hiked high and body quivering in bliss... "NNNNNGH!"

Flare pressed himself down on the cheetah's cock as far as he could go, feeling his shaft unload, the cheetah looking quite cute with a blush and some stallion seed on his hide, the stud panting for breath while he settled back for a moment... "Oh Epona.... I'm...." Sci grinned up at the horse, his erection still not flagging. "Feeling tired...?" The shire shook his head. "Mmmph.....getting there...." Sci frowned a little bit, then giggled softly, rubbing a hand over the shire's cock. "Mmm, why don't you mount up, as a thank you? Then we can continue....." Sci knew out and out mounting made horses quite complacent afterwards.... this was going quite according to plan!

The shire blushed lots at this, but all too eagerly nodded, sliding himself off the cheetah's knot, shivering as it left his tail, a strand of seed still attached to it coming from his tailring. "Hurrrf, alright... sounds good to me, Sci..... hurr, thanks...." Climbing backwards a bit, the shire moved to help the cheetah sit up a bit, working his legs underneath the smaller fur in a sitting position, facing the feline and rubbing his rump as he prepared himself, his own shaft quite slick with saliva and seed, quivering with excitement. Slowly but surely, he helped Sci lower himself onto his shaft, groaning in bliss as the feline's tight rump slid around his maleness, eventually hilting himself, unable to stop himself from licking and kissing at the felines muzzle, cleaning up the mess he had so recently made there. "Ungh, Epona..... it's so good...."

Sci blushed as the shire kindly cleaned him up, squirming as he felt the heavy maleness stretching within him, glad for the games engines making things like this not only possible, but enjoyable, intent on giving the shire the ride of his life, then shuddering as suddenly he felt the stallion stroking at his cock again.... didn't this horse know when to just let himself be pleasured? Sci groaned softly as pre started to gush out from his shaft again, but it was too late to stop now. The shire was starting to buck up into his tail hard, mounting almost like a feral stallion might, and he yowled as the potion took hold again and he started to cum once more, right onto the shire's chest this time even as he felt the horse's shaft swelling inside of him, hearing the stud's hips slapping up against his rump with each rough thrust.

"Hurrrf....! So much......mmmmmph...." Flare was beside himself in pleasure, and stroking at the cheetah's shaft was getting him sprayed with maleness, much to the equine's delight, so he kept stroking, and in the heat of the moment pressed his muzzle to the cheetahs in a kiss, blushing hotly, unable to stop himself from pounding the smaller fur's rump. "Oh gods..." Flare managed to whimper out before exploding underneath the cheetah's tail, body quaking from the effort, Sci clinging to the stallion as he rode out another orgasm of his own, starting to be exhausted himself, the pair both trying to catch their breath. Suddenly, the shire started to glow the whitish green himself, for the briefest of moments as he cured himself, getting his energy back as he stayed lodged firmly in the cheetah's rump. "Hurrurrf.... thanks Sci... I enjoyed that a lot... I think we're ready now, though..."

Sci groaned, feeling stuffed and almost like he'd fallen down that cliff again... the horse wasn't feeling tired? What was going on? He'd gone off twice... that would be more than enough for your average male.... why was his counter going down? Sci's eyes widened as it dawned upon him... the shire was a healer. He had healed him- and now he was healing himself! He yowled in shock as the realization hit, but it was too late... he was pinned to the stud's cock and exhausted enough from cumming several times himself! "W-wait!" Sci managed to get out before the shire's muzzle enveloped his own... "N-no fair!..."

Flare blushed lots, returning to stroking the felines shaft, wanting to make it as pleasurable as possible for his new friend, but gulping adamantly as he pulled the smaller felines head into his maw, the games distension engines kicking in admirably, almost effortlessly allowing the stallion to work his muzzle around the sexy cat's shoulders, broad tongue licking over his seed splattered chest, using his hips to thrust the cheetah up into him a little bit more, hearing the groans vibrate from within his chest. "I won't hurt you... don't worry..."

The cheetah squirmed lots as he was treated to the hot confines of the equine's throat, black ears pinned back against his head as he felt himself being lifted up off the stallion's shaft and into the air, the strong horse using gravity to assist in his devouring, legs flailing a bit but whimpering in pleasure as he felt the stud go back to attending to his potion-enhanced loins, feeling his body sinking deeper and deeper into Flare's gut...

Flare fondly caressed Sci's legs as they passed by his lips, getting another taste of the feline's member as it slid along his tongue before his throat took over massaging it, muscles rippling and pressing at it, coaxing it to fire one more time, a low muffled sigh of pleasure coming from the shire's quickly filling belly as he tilted his head back, tail and cute paws vanishing soon enough behind that white tipped muzzle, ears perked forward happily as he finished his meal. "Mmmph.... thank you, Sci.... I'll catch up with you later, ok?...It was good to meet you." Flare nickered happily, rubbing at the cheetah in his belly before he concentrated on his substitution ability, the form within him going still as it was replaced with a chocolate clone of Sci, and back at the Cable Car Station, the air seemed to blur a bit as a familiar spotted cat faded back into existence. "Awwwwf, damnit!....." Sci snarled to himself, calling out to DIZ, his labcoat and shorts barely hiding his still rampant erection. "DIZ! Get me an antidote potion, please!...."

Flare grunted softly, resting on the ground nearby, a little ways distant from the mess the pair had made with their "fun". There was a slow "whirr" heard in the distance, and a shadow crossed over the basin he was resting in. A voice came across the loudspeaker, causing the stallion to look up and see that he was being approached by a rather large airship, causing him to get to his hooves and dust himself off. "A rescue ship? Sounds good to me.."

"Attention player: Congratulations! Please board this ship by the rope ladder, as we cannot land in the area you have been warped into. Welcome aboard the Hidden Bird." And with that, a hatch opened, and a long rope ladder fell down to the ground. Flare approached it nervously.

"You'd think.... if they can warp us around... maybe I wouldn't have to face my fear of heights?" The stallion shook his head. "Awww, just don't look down.... don't ... look... down!" The heavy horse, usually slow in nature, moved with alarming alacrity, scrambling up and into the doorway. The metal door clanged shut behind him before he took a moment to rest, looking at the other passengers as the ship's engines whrrr'd to life again, whisking them off to another passenger to pick up.

"What'd I get myself into here?...." Flare thought to himself as he found a chair, rubbing his chocolate filled belly and dozing off to recuperate, hoping that it would not be too long before he felt the comforts of the stables again...
