His eyes opened slowly. It was bright. There was music in the background. Geez, it was real bright. He blinked a few times when everything came into focus. The last thing he remembered was putting on a visor for that new immersive game at the arcade. He had dragged Robin along. Now he was staring at him, but he looked like a video game character. "Woah," the equally as cgi looking Cyborg said as he looked down at his own hands. "It feels so real."
He glanced up and his mouth broke into a grin. "Hey! There's a floating diamond above your head!" he exclaimed, excited. "Dude, we're Sims. It's that game girls like where they create characters and houses and control what they do..." But of course, he knew all about it because he secretly played it for a time. "See!" He said as he pointed. "There's our house! That's how it starts. We move in, then we look for jobs, and the neighbours come around to greet us..." It was pretty exciting. Not the actual game--but the fact that they were in it. He hadn't realized how much until he saw a giant white cursor come toward him. "Hey what's that?" He questioned as he tracked it coming closer. It clicked on him, and a bubble of options appeared. Cyborg watched as the cursor scrolled. It was weird, because normally that was what the player did--ie, them. But then, it clicked on 'Enthuse about new house' and something in Cyborg suddenly jerked.
"Why, isn't the house just lovely? I'm so glad we're moving in together. At such a bargain, too!"
When that was over he shook his head, looking shocked. "I didn't... want to say that."
It was Robin's turn. The cursor clicked on him, and told him to order pizza on his cell phone.
Everything looked like a low quality video game. The Boy Wonder glanced up above his head at the giant floating diamond as his friend pointed it out before turning to stare expectantly at the cybernetic teen. Cyborg delivered, as always, but Robin wasn't sure what to think about being Sims. It seemed like they were stuck in a game of house, and that wasn't even the worst of it. The swooping cursor made it pretty obvious that they had some sort of new overlord. Especially as it picked on his friend.
Robin's pixelated mask narrowed at Cyborg. "Then why'd you say it?" he asked, watching the cursor suspiciously as it floated over them in the same manner as a predatory bird. It went for him next. The Boy Wonder tried to run away, but didn't get very far before it clicked on him and went for the list above his head. He suddenly understood Cyborg's compulsion to say weird things. "I don't want to call anybody!" he protested as his hand automatically went to the communicator on his belt. Apparently, though, being in this game was like magic. He didn't even have to know the number to be able to call the pizza place.
"Hello? I'd like to order a large vegetarian pizza."
By the time he'd put down the he looked horrified. "Beast Boy isn't even here!" he protested. "Why did I say that?" the person playing this game was clearly evil. Possibly a vegetarian. Robin turned towards his second in command with a grave expression on his face. "Any ideas on getting out of here?"

The roleplay takes place after the series end of the original Teen Titans animated show, but does not include the movie Trouble in Tokyo. Since then Robin has been on something of a recruiting spree, and many new young heroes have found themselves a home in Jump City as well as Titan Tower.
