Mark prepared for his date, and arrived half an hour early. He used the extra time to switch the candle holder on their table to Aidan, and placed the five candles in his sockets. He placed Jack on Aidanīs head socket, Geoff on his right shoulder, Mitch on his left one, Tyler was placed on his left hand and Steve on his right one.
Soon, Susan, Markīs date, arrived, and they had a lovely evening by candle light. Meanwhile, each of the candle-man felt themselves melt, losing more and more of themselves. A part of each of them trickled down into Aidanīs sockets, flowing through him into his empty leg, building a new candle inside of it. It consists out of five different colors, as each candle beneath the outer, white layer, had a different color.
Jack was a green color underneath his white layer, Geoff was blue underneath, Mitch was orange, Steve was yellow and Tyler was red. Each of the colors mixed within Aidan, slowly becoming a brown looking candle.
To Aidan, the warmth of the trickling wax was comfortable, but it was raising his horniness as with each drop in his leg his balls felt fuller. Jack felt his strength melt away with his sports knowledge, leaving him rather weak on his socket. Geoff felt his computer knowledge and dexterity with them trickle away, becoming dumber and clumsier each passing moment. Mitch had a similar experience then Geoff, only it was his knowledge and dexterity of engineering that vanished from him. Steve felt his love for music getting sucked from his mind, along his knowledge of playing any instrument. Tylerīs knowledge of chemistry dropped away, together with his fascination for the subject.
Hours later, when their date ended, Mark switched the candle holder back before escorting Susan home. Then he himself went home, still carrying Aidan and the remains of the other five around.
When he reached home, he placed Aidan next to the laptop before he got ready for bed, deciding he would change him back tomorrow.
