When you started trolling Kairi in an online game, the shark girl got busy on taking matters into her own hands. She took some info down, politely said "good game" to the group, and disconnected. You didn't think anything of it.

Several hours later, while you were chatting with your friends, something strange started happening. The VR hangout flickered a few times, before it faded out of existence, leaving you in front of a nude shark girl. The very same one you'd been trolling earlier. "You know, you weren't a good teammate…" Kairi said. Her finger traced along a virtual control labeled with a picture of your avatar. As she moved the slider downward, your perspective moved downward as well. "Let's get you a size more fitting for the sort of obnoxious gremlin you wanted to be, shall we?" The sensation was dizzying and nauseating. It felt like you were being squeezed or hit everywhere at once. You tried to invoke commands to kick her out of the system, but she seemed immune to it all. She owned this space, far as the computer was concerned, and in turn she owned you in that moment.

She paused once you were half her size. You struggled to get your breath. She towered above you now, looking like a deep sea monster in the dimly lit virtual space. Kairi glanced over at you. Her grin widened as she saw your fear, and she started moving the slider down again.
