You walk up to the counter, and the girl behind the counter perks up. "Oh, a Trans-Lite? Can you please hand me that?"
You give her the light, confused. She looks back up, and says, "Ah, right. You found this on the unmarked shelves, didn't you?" You nod, and she continues, "Perfect, here;" she says, handing you a box. The flashlight on the box looks different from the one you found. Rather than a fat disk wearing a pyramid as a hat, this one is a larger cylinder. "This is the Advanced model; as you see, the Lite only has one toggle, which means that at some point, you’ll end up with the exact same 20 something brain-dead platinum blonde bimbos and chiselled Chad Adonis… es. The Advance, however, has a fem/masc switch, a Muscle/Fat switch, an age pro/reg, and a brightness one, which intensifies all the others, amongst a few others that are slipping my mind right now,” she explains, “But, it also comes with a standard USB cable… well, an enchanted magic one, but it’s compatible with any old USB-C cable. But I digress, it has 4 programmable switches, which can be modified using the included USB-C single or double ended wire; so, you can use either your phone or your computer.”
“Are any of them preprogrammed?” you ask.
“Three are, actually. They are the colour ones, ie, hair colour, eye colour, and skin colour, and they are already pre-programmed with the standard human colours, but you can add in any colour you want. The fourth isn’t programmed on release but plugging it in opens a window; and that window has billions of options for switches. Actually,” she says, leaning in conspiratorially, “The USB is probably the best part of this package; an unbreakable wire that extends as far as you need it to, without causing wire spaghetti? Amazing. We sell some of those, in every combination you can think of.”
“How much?” you ask, pointing at the box.
“20 bucks,” she says, opening her register. $20 for this!?!
“Really?” you say, pulling out a 20. “That seems oddly precise…”
With a thank you, she spins around, putting it in the register and handing you the box in one fluid motion.
“Come again!”
You head back out with Gene, the box a constant weight in your back. You say your goodbyes as he drops you off, and you enter your dorm room. Good, no one’s here. You pull out the flashlight and click it on. The white beam that emerges is a good sign according to the instructions. You decide to pull a prank on your roommates, Tom and Devin. Tom is a total gym-bro, and a dumb douche at that. Devin is a fat slob, who hates the idea of doing anything but watching anime. You connect the USB, and search for an appropriate switch for the last one. ‘Neat V Slob’ is the one you want. Ginger is a hair colour, but you add violent orange in both hair and eyes, and electric purple in both as well.
You set the flashlight. For Tom, you set it all the way to Fem, you set the muscle one to neutral, as well as the age. There’s an IQ one, which you set halfway towards max, a nerd/jock one, which you set all the way to nerd, and a sub/dom one, which you set all the way to sub. There's also a sexuality one, which you flip all the way to lesbian. The hair and eyes are electric purple, and the skin is pale. The Neat/Slob one, you flip all the way to neat. You save that as ‘Tina’ and then get working on Devin’s. You keep most of it, except you flip the fat/muscle to full muscle, and full jock. The hair and eyes are glowing orange, and the skin is tanned. You save that one as ‘Mikaniko,’ which is his Waifu or something.
After you save Mikaniko, a new option opens up. Tina/Mikaniko. Perfect! You save that one to the 4th switch and get to their rooms. You wonder which room to mess with first. You probably won’t get this chance to do Devin’s room, but the place is a pigsty! Tom’s room is probably neater, but he’s out pretty much all the time.
