Meanwhile Mark was laughing his head off at the show. That was even better than he planned before.
Aidan was still unresponsive fro the shock when Mark finally calmed down enough to continue. Seeing Aidan being still out of it Mark turned around to the laptop, thinking of something to change that Aidan didn´t need to know about. He first put a password to both his own and Aidans files, limiting the possibility that someone could help Aidan or do something to Mark without his agreement. Only his “Mark rules” comment would be allowed to work on Aidan without the password. That way Aidan could still use his laptop to change others, ensuing some added fun for himself. He added that he would know about any changes Aidan made to others and would be able to stop them if needed. He then duplicated the laptop, including the chronivac program, for Aidan while he send the original laptop home for himself.
When he was ready he said simply: “Aidan, you will come out of your shock now so we can continue. You will also never stand in shock about your situation for more then a minute in the future.”
Aidan shudders a bit before he focused back on Mark and started pleading again.
But when Mark started to speak again Aidan stopped, hoping that Mark would return him to normal.
“It´s okay, Aidan, the next changes are more helpful to your situation. Your body will neither start sweating due to heat nor shivering due to cold again because to you and your body the surrounding temperature is constant comfortable. It will be like you are wearing fitting clothes even when naked. Your skin will be water-repellent to raining. Your feet will be very sensitive so you can feel each surface you walk on with them. At the same time they are hard and strong enough so you won´t hurt yourself if you walk on glass shards, pointy stones or similar things. And your eyes will adjust to the light so you won´t need sun glasses.”
Aidan felt more comfortable in the room when his body adjusted to the temperature. He noticed each single strand of his carpet below his feet, even enjoying the softness. But both didn´t help with the panic about the whole being naked in public thing. “Mark please. I can´t go out naked. I will die in embarrassment. Please change it back.”
Mark sighed, but said still smiling: “You will stop complaining and pleading for any changes I made to you. And every time you ask someone else to help you with it, it will fall on deaf ears. And because you won´t need them anymore all your clothes will vanish.”
Aidan could do nothing because the restriction of pleading to Mark. He saw his discarded clothes on the floor vanish into thin air, followed by his shoes in the corner of the room. He was helpless to do anything about it.
Mark got up from his seat in front of the laptop, moving to the door. Aidan looked horrified at him not turning around, and Mark realized something he had forgotten about. “You are able to move again, but can´t harm me. Have a nice day, Aidan, see you tomorrow.”
