After a relaxing shower and a short breakfast, Luke was okay with testing the costume and remote more. “As long as we can change me back, there is no problem.” Luke said as they returned to his room.
Kevin had watched TV while waiting for Luke, even if his thoughts went to the remote most of the time.
Luke carefully slipped on the slippers and the rubber band on first, then pulled the mask over his head. The gloves went on last, as putting on the other parts with the gloves on would be harder.
“What should we try first, Luke?” Kevin asked, showing him the remote to decide. The display showed 20% right now. “It seems the remote knows what you have put on. I remember it said only 10% yesterday, when you had only the paws on you.”
Luke looked at the remote closely. “Well, we know what the speech, the sleep and the exchange button do, and forwards, backwards and stop are logical. I guess the think button is similar to the speech one, only affecting my mind instead, so please let´s not try this. I don´t want to think like a wolf right now. How about the hybrid button?”
Kevin nodded to that. “Okay, I think you are right. And I guess the numbers will work as an input for the percentage of the changes then. Ready to test the hybrid-button?”
Luke replied with a “Yeah”, so Kevin hit the button. Before his eyes, and Luke´s facing his mirror, they watched as the latex crawled up Luke´s arms and legs again, while the mask slipped around his chin and the rubber band tail covered his ass over. But the latex stopped shortly over his elbows and knees, around his neck and after covering his ass.
After waiting for ten seconds if something else happens, Kevin asked: “Are you alright?”
Luke nodded his head. “Yeah, I´m good. I still think of the covered parts as what they are underneath, I still have hands and so on. It´s just a bit tight like before.”
“I will try the human button next, then. It should slip back, I guess.” Kevin said before hitting said button.
It was as they had guessed, the latex receded back towards its origins. But it didn´t stop there, as even the gloves, slippers, tail and mask receded more into itself, uncovering Luke´s hands, feet and head more than before. The remote showed only 1% when the changes stopped. All Luke was wearing right now were a couple of latex bands around his wrists and ankles, the rubber band above his ass without any tail and a similar small headband.
Luke looked down at his hands and wrists. “So, they can even recede more than to their original shape? Cool.”
Kevin looked at the remote again. “But how would you now know which band is what glove or slipper? If you remove them now, I mean.”
Luke was eager to find the answer and slipped of the latex band on his right wrist. Before he could remove more, the latex expanded back into a whole glove on the ground. “Okay, that´s your answer then, Kevin, they return to normal when pulled off. What next?” Luke slipped the glove back on, and it remained in its form.
Instead of answering, Kevin pushed the add button four times. The latex expanded a bit while the display raised to 6,5%. Now Luke wore wristbands covering the beginning of his left hand and feet, a stubby tail and had his forehead covered up to his hair. The glove remained unchanged, however.
“What have you tried now? Number input or what?” Luke asked.
“No, I simply pushed the add button four times. That would mean each push means one percent. But we can test the numbers next. I will take 20%, that should make them more normal again.” Kevin explained before putting the 20 in.
Like Kevin expected, the latex spread out again, quickly forming back into whole paws, a full tail and the top half mask they have been at the start.
“That leaves the animal button and the ones beneath the display, right?” Luke asked after a minute in silence.
“Yeah, and the think one, but I guess that is clear and you didn´t want to test it. Are you okay with testing the size one next?” Kevin asked looking at Luke.
Luke thought about it. “Yeah. Maybe they are just to decide what the display shows.”
And the thought was right. When Kevin pushed the size button, the display switched from 20% to 1,73m. A quick push on the age button showed Luke´s age as 17y9m, which was right. “Should we test what happens if we reduce or increase your age or size?”
“If we need to test it, make me a bit smaller. I don´t want to be younger or older right now.” Luke said after thinking about it.
“Okay, I will hit the subtract button once, and if the difference is only a cm, I will push it nine additional times so we can clearly see if there is a difference. I can return it back to normal afterwards.” Kevin said and did just that. As it was only one cm each push, Kevin reduced Luke´s size ten times.
Not much was seen happening, even after the value had been reduced by 10cm in the end. “Strange, it seems as if nothing happened. Did you feel anything, Luke?”
“A little tickling in my hands and feet maybe. Could it be that it also only effects the costume covered parts?” Luke answered him.
Kevin returned the value to normal, then they tested the animal button. With a yelp, Luke toppled forwards, landing on all fours. The latex was quickly covering his whole body up, leaving no naked skin in its wake. “Note to myself, next time try this sitting or laying down” Luke said annoyed as Kevin laughed.
Another test with the size button showed Luke had been right, as now he really shrunk as a whole. “Want to test what happens if I hit the human button now? If you stay smaller or not?” Kevin asked.
But just like the glove had returned to normal if not worn, Luke´s body returned to its original size while the costume retracted.
A last test with the volume showed it affected how loud any noise Luke made turned out, just like a TV-remote would. It was set at 48 in the beginning, and reducing it to 38 resulted in Luke whispering if he spoke normal.
After returning everything back to normal values, Luke starts to take the costume off. “Don´t want to try being a wolf, Luke?” Kevin asked him.
