Turnabout is fair play...

OK, after all these questions about your avatar, your avatar's gender, your avatar's sex life... let's turn it about.

Tomorrow morning you wake up and you look like a realistic version of your avatar (if you have more than one... your main avatar, or the one you most feel represents you, or the one you think's safest, you pick). You don't have any special vampire powers or whatever, and you're not a cartoon character, but to avoid to much drama you're competent to get about, you can talk and write somehow if your avatar happens to be something really odd...

What do you do?

Edit: You are not "an SL avatar", you can't lift your arms and fly, you don't have an infinite wardrobe, you don't have embarrassing hair, you're just whatever your avatar is supposed to look like, in reality. If you designed your avatar to look exactly like yourself, you would notice no change.

Groom my tail and cover my nipples fully ekk...

Quit my job and go find a rich old man that wants a hot young babe.

Run to the Malls to shop for new pants!!! I am very short irl and inworld I am quite tall.

Forgot one option I'd definitely need... find a mechanic who can redesign my car seat to accommodate a tail.

I guess I'd need to get fitted for some new headphones at work. Since the ear config would be just a tad different..

You don't have to become your avatar to do that!

Pep (You *can* afford your own ticket over to England can't you?)

Stare at my horns stupidly, wondering what I'm going to do now.

Big Hair to the rescue?

Hell yes (even my own ticket back if need be).

/me starts checking the calendar and flight schedules

Or big hair sort of with horns:

Fall on my knees and thank a higher power that I spent all those hours looking for a skin with a pretty face AND well drawn naughty bits.

LOL...I'm the opposite - in RL I'm tall and in SL I scaled down my avatar to match my Partner.

... Pray my RL spouse and child will be understanding and accepting of the vixen running around the house.

... Be thankful that I telecommute full time for work, though start wondering how my new voice will sound in teleconference calls.

... Be very glad that I have that silly spandex microdress in the back of the closet, because it will streach enough and shrink in enough in all the right places to fit the new me, while I shop for new clothes that can be adapted to fit with digitigrade legs and a tail.

... Talk to my dog in a way he can truly understand! More importantly, LISTEN to what he has to say back to me!

... Stop at my dog's vet and get some "Advantage" flea control drops, for myself! And se if I might want/need to change my preferred Doctor to my Vet...

...Plan to attend the next Furry Con I could get to, and win the "Fursuit Competation", paws down...

... And then I would ***(Can't say in a PG forum!)***



(Oprah) "And next we have a very special guest, who is a REAL foxy lady. Honey, you're not gonna believe her, but she's real! Come on out, Ceera!"

1.) Barbie avi: Join the George Hamilton tan Club. Try to figure out how I am going to make time for all that beautification irl that is "instant" in SL; hair, makeup, dressing up etc.
2.) Pale avi: Search WebMD on how to explain my gothic anemia.
3.) Any of the wolf av/attachments: um get dog tags, rabies shots?
4.) Any of my other av, dark frost elf, aliens, crows, trees, wings, dragons, spheres, assorted creatures: Lurk harder!

I think it's my wife, waking up next to me, who'd be in for the biggest surprise.

Ditto for my RL spouse.

"Mumph... Honey? I thought we agreed the dog was not to be allowed to sleep on the bed? Waitaminit! The dog's still on the floor beside me? YIPE!"

I'd immediately check for any other SL goodies that found their way into RL, like my MystiTool and some of my vehicles. Because nothing would be cooler than flying my BattleBug to work.

I'm my own boss so I wouldn't have to explain anything at the office... some folks at the office, and family would be startled but I wouldn't *have* to explain anything.

Mostly I think it would be funny. Particularily if I got either my neko avvie or my 'dark and depressed' avie.

Well, the very first problem I would face is that I'd suddenly be younger than my own children....

"Honey, your nose is cold..." o_O

The thing I would miss the most is not having opposable thumbs. That would make my daily life a bit more challenging.

I'd be thrilled, mostly because clothes would look so much better on my avi's body than on mine. Then I'd go shopping.

I hope this is not naive or stupid of me to ask, but...

Why would someone see a priest?

Personally, the first three things I'd try would be flying, teleporting, and camera controls.

Celebrate. Change my name. Convince friends and family it's still me in here. Celebrate some more. Check which clothes still fit.
