Her tail swished from side to side, and she let her mind wander. She had started the day as a male human, and ended it a curvaceous mouse. "Worse ways to go through a day," she said aloud, before yawning and curling up. She didn't have a plan, or a purpose beyond the research, and she wasn't in a rush. She could rest, or explore, or just take it easy.

A knock at her door made her jump a little. "Miss?" Someone knocked again.

Daisy sat up. "Yes?"

The door creaked open, and a young man, a rabbit-man actually, stood there. He was dressed in a uniform with a badge on it that read 'Janitor'. He looked at her and smiled. "Sorry to disturb you. I just wanted to introduce myself." It was then that he saw where Daisy was and how little she wore. His eyes went wide, and he blushed, turning away. "Sorry!"

Daisy grinned. "It's fine." She waved him in. "I don't mind. What's your name, and why'd you come?"

"Oh, Cedric, ma'am." He backed into the room and closed the door. As nervous as he clearly was, she could see his short teardrop tail flicking excitedly behind him. "I'm the janitor, as the hat would say." He chuckled. "I, um, I came to say hi, and to offer my services." He cleared his throat. "If you want anything cleaned, I'm your man! I'll also clean when you're not here, so you can come home to a nice tidy space."

"Thanks." Daisy smiled at him. "So, if I'm a mess, and I want help cleaning up, you'd offer to clean me?" She chuckled at that. "Sorry, I'm in a good mood." She got up to her feet, her breasts bouncing. Her tail swished.

Cedric's eyes darted to her chest, and he gulped. "Um, I'm sorry." He had dared to turn towards her. "If you do need cleaning, I can show you to the bathing area."

She eyed the bunny-man and walked over to him. She placed her hand on his shoulder, and leaned in, whispering. "Are you sure? I'm kind of a big girl." She winked, and Cedric's face flushed. She could feel his heart racing. She chuckled. "Relax, Cedric. It was just a joke. I'm sure the bathing area is fine." She then patted him. "You're cute, and a little flustered."

"For good reason!" He shrank back. "Sorry, didn't mean to show, um, miss." He reached up for his face and bumped her too-close breast on the way. "Sorry!"

She laughed gently and stepped back, giving him room. "It's alright. I didn't mean to make you uncomfortable. I'm just teasing."

"I-I know, it's just, um." He licked over his furry lips. "You look like a brood mouse, ma'am. I only heard stories about those. And you're so, um, curvy."

"Aw, you think I'm cute." Daisy smiled at him. "Thank you, that was really sweet. Now, how about you show me the bathing area?" She pointed to the door. "Lead on."

He took off his hat and fiddled with it as he led her to the door. "I'll show you to the bathing area. It's in the basement. Um, but are you alright, here?" He looked around. "I usually clean places first. Miss, um, it said Daisy on the door."

Daisy nodded. "That's me, Daisy. I'm fine, thank you." She smiled at him. "You've been very helpful, and I appreciate it." She opened the door and waved beyond it. "Let's go. I'll follow you."

"You don't want clothes?" He glanced away. "Some animal folk don't care much. Um, no rule about animal folk, so you don't have to. Just, um, if you forgot. I wouldn't mind."

Daisy laughed softly. "I'm not forgetting. I just don't want to be bothered with them right now." She closed the door and followed him down the hallway. They walked through the building, and down some stairs, to the bathing area. It was a large room, with several pools, and showers. It was also unisex, which surprised her a little.

"We share a lot here, ma'am." He pointed at the showers. "They're warm. I keep them clean. Oh, and if you want a towel, I can get you one." He pointed to where a collection of towels rested, waiting to be grabbed. "Now, um, animal folk often have preferences. Some are so densely furred they hate being wet for long. Others savor a good soak." He pointed at the various baths. "The blue one is nice, the green is a little hotter, and the red is a lot hotter."

"Thanks." She grabbed a towel. "I think I'll try the blue one." She walked to the pool and dipped her feet in. The water felt warm, and she stepped into it. It was a comfortable temperature, and she sank into it. The water was a soothing balm to her tired body. As a curious bonus, her breasts floated at the surface, as if the water was holding them up carefully.

Cedric watched her, then glanced to the side. "I, I'll leave you be. Please, um, enjoy your bath." He turned, and hurried away, his tail swishing behind him.

Another person slid right in beside her. "Hey, new to school?" A male fox with a smirk of a grin. "What's your major?"

"Um, I'm not a student." Daisy looked at him and smiled. "I'm doing research." She pointed to her breasts. "I'm a rare specimen."

"Oh wow, a brood mouse." He raised a pawhand and casually rested it right on her closer breast, feeling over it. "Rare indeed. Start as one, or become one?"

"Become one." She didn't push his hand away, though she didn't lean into it, either. She just let it happen, enjoying it. "I've never been to university. How do you like it?"

"Oh! Well, I specialize in magic. My major is conjuration. You know, making things pop in, or out, of existence." He chuckled a bit. "My minor is in transmutation. I can change stuff. I'm not terribly good, but I get by." Since she didn't object, he goes right ahead with enjoying the texture of Daisy's front. "I don't know a spell that'd make a brood mouse though. I've never seen one before." He looked at her. "You're really beautiful." He leaned closer. "It's okay to touch you, right?"

"Yes." Daisy nodded, and leaned into his touch. Part of her wondered why she was alright with the outright groping, but it felt nice, and he seemed pleasant enough. "Conjuration, huh? I don't know magic, myself. My class is a warrior." She placed her hand on his shoulder, squeezing. "I can beat up monsters. I beat a dragon."

"A warrior, huh? You're really strong." He grinned. "And brave, too." He ran a hand down her arm, feeling the powerful muscles there. "Dang, seriously. You're built in both ways." He laughed suddenly. "Almost jealous. I have to get by with my devilish charm." He grinned. "I've always wanted to meet a brood mother, but I never have."

"I'm a virgin still, not a mother. So not quite right yet." She chuckled and gave his shoulder a squeeze. "Just a mouse with plenty of assets. Look, am I even a brood mouse? I'm only leaking because of this dumb trap I tripped over."

"Well, yeah, you are. Brood mice have huge milk sources." He gestured at her breasts. "Yours are big enough, and I'm guessing they taste amazing. You could be a brood mouse even if not a mother." He leaned in closer, nose almost touching her breasts. "Now I'm wondering if you ever saw normal mouse-folk women before."

"I have not, actually." She shook her head. "They have smaller tits, I guess?" She looked down at her own. "These are big for anyone, let alone a mouse. I'm guessing you have, and they're not this big?"

"They're not." He grinned. "No mouse woman is even half that big. I've never met one that was." He flashed his carnivorous teeth. "We foxes are good at hunting adorable prey species. I've met quite a few mouse women. Most are slender, built more for running around quickly. You, on the other hand, are a brood mouse. You're big and strong, and you have the power to feed an entire family, if not a village. Plus, you're really beautiful."

"Aw, you think I'm pretty." She smiled, leaning in to kiss his cheek. "I've heard that a few times today, and I'm starting to believe it." She nuzzled against his neck. "You're a sweet guy."

"Oh, I have my moments. If I'm not sweet, I'm a bit spicy. I'm a fox. I like a little excitement." He ran his hand down over her belly. "Now, we're both clean and relaxed. Why don't we retire to one of our rooms and work up a little sweat?"

"Sounds like fun." She smiled and slid off the bench. She stood and stretched, and her breasts swayed. They were heavy, but she didn't feel any discomfort and her powerful body didn't mind that paltry weight. "Lead on, handsome." She followed him, thinking about what she was doing.

She'd never been attracted to guys before, but now she was a curvaceous mouse woman. She wasn't sure what was happening to her, but she was enjoying it. And she wasn't in a hurry to stop. She was horny, and she liked the idea of having a good time with the attractive fox.

He led her to his own room, where he opened the door. The room was larger than her own, and had a small kitchen area. "It's like a studio." She wandered with wide eyes through his room, ogling everything on the way

"Sure is." He shut the door. "I'm a graduate student. We get a bit more space and privileges. I have a kitchen. I have my own bathroom. And I have a bed big enough to share with someone." He waggled his brows with clear implications there. "I can't wait to get a job after this." His grin was bright and genuine. "I'm going to be an enchanter and a crafter. I'll make enchanted items for people."

Daisy whirled on him, some parts of her jiggling quite a bit with the motion. "Enchantments? But I thought you were a conjurer? You'll enchant things to conjured things? What sorts do you have in mind?"

He chuckled, and sat on the bed. "Yeah, I'm a conjurer. But conjuration and transmutation go together well. I'll be able to make things, and change them. And enchant them. It'll be a lot of fun." He pat at the bed just beside himself. "Now, how about we have some fun? You're really beautiful, and I'd love to get to know you better."

"Sounds like a plan. What do you have in mind?" She sat on the bed, and leaned against him. She noticed that she was taller than him by at least a foot. "Little fox."

He colored. "Mmm, not often I run into a prey that calls me small, but I think I could get used to that. Especially if you're going to be the prey in the relationship." He winked. "So, how do you want to start?"

"Kissing?" She leaned into him and kissed his cheek. She was surprised to find herself enjoying it. She peppered down from his cheek to his neck, and she felt him shiver.

He slid his hands along her body. "That feels really nice." He ran his fingers through her hair. "I like kissing. I like being close to someone."

She nuzzled at his neck, and she nibbled on him. "Then let's be, mmm, close." A little part of her was dancing. She was making out with a male, and enjoying the process. She'd never even been attracted to men before. She'd never been a woman either, but there she was, and she was enjoying it.

He nuzzled back. "You're really good at that." He kissed at her neck and shoulder, nibbling softly. He trailed his kisses along her collarbone, then down her chest. "Such a good mouse. Ready to be devoured?" He grinned with those sharp teeth.

She chuckled, and nodded. "Oh yes." She leaned back. "I'm all yours, fox. Do your worst."

He grinned. "Oh, I will. And you'll love it." He tackled her, but she caught him. For him, the world spun wildly as she used his momentum against him and slammed him down into the soft mattress of his bed. She hadn't even thought of doing that, only realizing what she had done a moment later.

"Oh, wow. That was something else. Sorry, I didn't mean to hurt you." She sat up and looked at the fox.

─Athletic Parry skill used.

David blinked at the words hovering in front of her in a little window. "Oh. Oh dang it. This is still a game."

"What is?" He rolled to his feet, looking at her. "Are you alright?"

"I'm fine. It was a reflex. I'm a warrior. I guess that was a skill thing." She laughed nervously. "Maybe you shouldn't be pouncing me, predator or not." She tried for a sultry look. "This mouse is too much of a warrior for that. It's time the predator became the prey." Her tail lashed behind her in anticipation, and she stalked closer. "Now, you were saying something about devouring me?" Her voice had gotten husky. The warrior mouse was horny.

He gulped and nodded. "I was. But, um, you're not thinking of hurting me, are you?"

"Only in ways you will thank me for." She leaned in close. "Now, fox, let's see how much of me you can devour." She kissed him again, then let her lips trail along his neck, down to his chest. She pressed against his chest, forcing him to lay back as her other hand wandered down towards his groin. "I'm told animal people usually wear clothes, but here you are, naked as can be

"It was a bath area. I didn't want to get my clothes wet." He blushed and squirmed. "And I'm not totally sure that was the right choice."

She chuckled. "Oh, it was a great choice." She grasped his balls and his furry sheath at once in her hand, gently squeezing the male's package. She grinned, her own ears folding back. "I'm going to make you feel so good, you'll be begging me for more."

He moaned, and his tail twitched. "I can't wait." His cock started to slide free of the furry sheath, and he grabbed for her head and over her round ears

"Wow, eager, aren't you?" She smirked. "Don't worry, I'm going to enjoy this as much as you are." She kissed his shaft and balls, then licked along the growing length, savoring its taste. "It's ti—"

─Male analysis complete.

A dizzying array of genetic information hovered in front of Daisy's vision, giving her a full run down of what he had to offer as a male. She blinked at it a few times, unable to parse what she was being told.

"Are you okay?" He looked at her, confused. "You stopped."

She nodded, and pushed the confusing window away. "Sorry about that." Her mood felt shattered. Those numbers, what few she could quickly pick out, were not flattering. She didn't want to know that. She didn't want to know about his lackluster health, his lack of virility, and that he had a genetic propensity towards weak offspring.

"Um, are you okay?" He sat up a little. "We were just getting to the good part."

"Actually, I'm not feeling well." She stood and stepped away. "I'm sorry. I need to go." She turned and left the room without another word. She didn't know where she was going, but she wasn't going to go down on that guy. With a powerful shudder, she fled to her room.

She closed the door, and slumped. She didn't know what was going on with her, and it was upsetting her. She was in a game world, and she was a female character, a very female character. So female she knew good or bad genetic matches with males she was about to get serious with? How was that even a thing?

She didn't know how to feel, and she was confused, but more than that, she felt angry. Angry at the game for what it was doing to her, and how it was using her. She took a slow breath. "On the other hand." On the other hand, it had spared her from sleeping with the very first male that made a move. On the other other hand, maybe being a brood mouse is why she had been so interested in the first place, and why she had been so thoroughly turned off by his bad genes.

"This is so weird." She sighed and flopped on the bed. "Weird, but kind of fun. Mostly strange." She flopped onto her side on her bed. "I need a nap I think."

After a few minutes, she drifted to sleep. And while she slept, she dreamed. In her dream, she was a mouse, and she was being chased. She ran through fields, and over hills, and through forests. She dived just out of range of gnashing teeth and flashing claws. When she was finally caught, and thrown to the ground, it was by a large fox. The fox loomed over her and licked its lips. She felt her heart racing in her chest, and her body ached with need.

She woke up with her hand between her legs and her heart thumping wildly in her chest, the dream vivid in her mind. "That was a hell of a dream." She pulled her hand away, her fingers damp. "Really intense." She took a deep breath. The dream was fading from her memory, but it had left her aroused. "Well, that's a thing." She got up from her bed. "And now I need another bath."

***

Daisy had just gotten back to her room after bathing, when she heard a knock. She was surprised to find Cedric there. "Hey, Cedric. What's up?"

"Oh, hi." He smiled nervously. "I actually thought you might not be here, and I'd clean your room for you."

"Aw, you're sweet." She smiled at him. "I appreciate it. You're a nice guy."

He blushed, and nodded. "Thank you." Then his ears perked up.

She stepped out of the way for him and waved him in. She focused on him, tail swaying as she eyed him as a predator would.

─Male analysis initiated.

Good. She had wanted to try that. She smiled to herself, watching Cedric work. He was a good looking guy, and he had a nice butt. He was wearing clothes at the moment, which was a shame. As the bunny janitor got to work, her window filled with the information she'd asked for.

He was a virgin. Why did she need to know that? She moved her vision along to other information. He had healthy seed. Odds of impregnation, 84-96% depending on timing. Odds of producing viable offspring, 95-99%. He had a strong, healthy genetic makeup and would produce excellent offspring.

Daisy stared at that window, reading it over. "Well then, I'd make good children with Cedric."

"Pardon?" Cedric turned an ear towards her, but was occupied cleaning up the room. He reached her bed and started getting supplies out to clean the mess she had made without mentioning why it might be there. "I didn't quite catch that."

"Oh, just thinking aloud." She smiled at him. "I, ah, just got some more game information. This world is kind of interesting, isn't it?"

"Very." He scrubbed diligently. "But I just live here." He made quick work of that mess, looking pleased with himself. "Why, are you from some other world?"

"I am. I was a human man." Daisy shrugged, her breasts swaying. She walked up to him, and put her hand on his shoulder. "Does that bother you?"

Cedric blinked. "No, I'm fine with that." He smiled, then got back to cleaning. "Lots of folks are from somewhere else, really. It's not that unusual. A lot of them aren't who they were born as." He turned in place to face Daisy. "I was a human, once." He scratched at one of his long ears. "Now look at me. I'm a bunny. But a bunny that's good with cleaning. So, win, I guess."

"Win is right." She smiled at him. "I think you're adorable."

"Thanks!" He only thought about that after he said that. "Um, wait." He blushed. "Adorable?"

"Yeah. You're an adorable guy." She smirked. "And you have a nice butt." She gave said butt a pat, and then stepped back. "But now I'm harassing you. You're a busy bunny with a job. Don't let me slow you down. I'll be over here. You do your work." She sat down on her bed, tail swaying behind her, and watched him work. She was a hunter, and he was prey. She just knew it.

When he left to find other rooms to clean, she sagged. "Why am I doing that to poor Cedric? I'm such a jerk." She sighed, and flopped back. "I'm just being an ass, or a horny mouse." She rolled to her side. "Both is also an option." She was fairly sure she'd just harassed the poor guy. "I'm such a jerk."

After a few minutes of moping, she rolled to her front, then sat up, and stood. "Time to go walk. Clear my head." She needed to go for a walk and put her mind on something else, even just moving. She grabbed her leather armor, cleaned by Cedric she assumed, and quickly squirmed into it. She then headed for the exit, and the outdoors.

Outside the University, she took a deep breath and looked around. The sun had set, but there were lanterns on poles that kept the paths well lit. She took a moment to take in the sights. She ran lightly, enjoying the sensation of her powerful body moving. It was a powerful engine that she controlled, and she could feel the power of her body with every step. She could outrun anything, she could out jump everything, and she could out climb every one of them. And she had a huge pair of breasts that bounced and jiggled with each step.

On that last point, a combination of her tough body and that leather armor seemed to keep everything in place, no rough jostling despite her speed. It was impressive, and she felt good. It was a little weird, and she felt a little embarrassed, but mostly, it felt nice.

She slowed to a stop and looked up at the night sky, and the bright stars twinkling above. They weren't the stars she had known. She couldn't find any of the few constellations she remembered. But she couldn't see the light pollution she expected from the city. It was beautiful, and she was happy.

Daisy took a deep breath. "This is a real world. It's a real, beautiful, amazing place." She looked around her. "I'm going to have to learn how to be a mouse." She grinned at the thought. "At least that's an interesting thing to be." She considered a moment. "But if this is a game—"

She held out her hands apart. "Status!"

Her character screen popped up in front of her, showing all the information about her and her character. She was surprised by the lack of levels and numbers and things she'd normally see in a game. In a way, that made sense. It was based on an erotic adventure more than a classic exploration affair. It focused on the 'important' parts for that genre, like fertility cycles and a list of sexual acts. It had a small list of skills and abilities, and a small map. It was interesting to her, and she studied it. It was all useful information, and it confirmed what she already knew. "I'm a mouse. A brood mouse, at that. And I have some pretty good stats." Her mood was improving.

She tapped at the hovering letters that made this clear. "Skills," she sang out, pulling up that list. Athleticism was the first, and it was high. She was in very good shape, and she had a powerful body. She had a few combat abilities. Those were middling. She had a few social abilities. "Wonder if they go up with use?" She bounced in place, ready to continue running. "I'll have to keep an eye on that."

She dismissed the window, and began to run again. She moved quickly, and she felt good. Her body was strong, and she could feel her heart beating in her chest. She could feel the wind in her ears, and on her fur. She saw others enjoying the evening and waved as she ran past them. She was happy, and she was excited to see what the next day would bring.

She turned back to her room, and found the lights were on. She was puzzled. Was Cedric back to clean again? Or Elina, to check in on her?

She opened the door. "Cedric?"

But Cedric wasn't there. It was the fox, glaring at her, and with a knife. "Hello, brood-mouse."

She backed up. "What are you doing here? What do you want?"

"You." His grin was feral. "You're a brood-mouse. I was going to just seduce you, but you turned me down. So now, I'm going to make you mine." He rose to his feet, claws glinting at the ends of his finger. "We could have done this the fun way."

She stared at him. "That's not how this works." She shook her head. "You can't just force me to mate with you."

He laughed. "I'm not going to force you to mate with me. I'll take care of it. You just have to enjoy it." He stepped closer. "I'm going to turn you into a brood-mother."

Daisy narrowed her eyes. "No. I don't think I will let you. You are going to get out of my room and leave me alone. If you touch me, I'll hurt you." She flexed her fingers. "If you so much as think a moment longer about touching me, I will bend you into a damn pretzel and toss out the result. I'm not going to let you hurt me."

The fox laughed again. "You think you can hurt me? You're a weak little prey, I'm the hunter. I'll be gentle if you just give in, and you can have a whole litter of kits."

She laughed, drawing her dagger free as she took a step forward. "Warning time is over. You are just another mob now. I'll have to hope the school forgives me for what I'm about to do. You're going to regret that."
