Jake was scrolling through his options, and a particular option sparked his interest. A lion's mane. One of Jake's favorite animals were lion's, and their big hairy main was their most prominent feature. Jake looked in the mirror to look at his casual cut. Jake wasn't a stylist type, but he would probably like a little more going on. Jake entered "Lion mane" into the text box. Another box showed up saying "Add feature." The box had in inscription under it. "This box is set to add specific alterations if needed. It can also alter aspects of reality, such as awareness. Lion mane Examples: hair length, color, etc." "This program thinks of everything." Jake said surprised. It even gave specific examples for lion mane. Jake thought he'd keep it mostly natural, but changed the hair color to golden blonde, which was his natural hair color. Jake hit enter on his keyboard. "Would you like to enable changes?" "Yes" "No". Jake clicked yes.
He waited moments for his change to kick in. He was getting impatient. Jake nearly called fluke and closed the program when he suddenly felt an itch on his neck. "Huh... This doesn't feel right." He said, trying to scratch his neck. Jake then felt a tug on his neck while scratching. "Ouch! What the-" Jake stopped scratching. He ignored his itch to see what had happened. He saw he unknowingly pulled a tuft of soft hair from the bottom of his neck. "No... Fucking... Way!" Jake exclaimed. He felt the tuft of hair again. It was smooth and soft to the touch. He then felt other regions, other than his neck, begin to itch. Luckily it wasn't as bad so Jake let it loose, and thought he would scratch later. This was getting interesting.
The hair spread up all around his neck forming and developing on his chin. It was as if he had a huge lush beard growing on his neck. The hair started to spread on his face, starting up his s cheek bones. "Ha... Kinda tickles." Jake laughed as his hair grew longer reaching up to his ears. The hair overlaps around his ears, and his hair starts growing in place, burying his ears in a long patch of hair. He felt it climbing to the back of his neck, repeating the process behind his head. Jake itching was starting to get to him. "Come on... Hurry it up." Jake tightened his grip on his fists. He felt that changes were finishing up. His natural hair started growing longer, spreading downward to meet the other hairlines on his cheeks and the back of his neck. Then *puff*. Every hair on his head fluffed out, making his hair more spread out, giving it a more shaggy appearance instead of being held down. Jake realized his change was finally over, seeing a fully developed lion's mane with gold blonde hair around his head.
"Finally!" Jake exclaimed, scratching all around his head and neck. Jake took in the feel of his mane while scratching. Smooth and soft as he first touched it. "Ahh. Much better..." Jake said opening his eyes to his mirror. His mane had long hair, with each strand about 7 inches long. The hair was also shaggy as evident when Jake shook his head to fluff it out. One thing that did stay intact is Jake's bangs, still somewhat hangout the top of his forehead, blending with the mane. "Damn... This looks sexy around my head." Jake couldn't get enough of looking at himself. His mane made him look like a beast, but a handsome one at that. But he knew how to make it look better. With that thought,Jake headed to the bathroom.
Jake eventually got used to his mane. Getting over the itching, and taking in every strand of hairs feeling. He even used a hair brush, to further lush it out. Jake smiled, looking at his slick mane around his face. It reminded him of adult Simba from The Lion King. Jake knew he was gonna have fun with the Chronivac.
