They met up with their mother at the food court as planned. Adam, still angry with his sister and ready to go home and get started on his new video game, slumped into a hard plastic seat mumbling that he wasn't hungry. Coral begged for her favorite Orange Chicken from the Chinese counter, and while their mum was ordering an Asian salad for herself, they bumped into her friend Jessica who'd been out shopping as well.
"Oh hey Katherine! And Coral! What brings you out today?" she said in her standard bubbly way.
Katherine collected her salad and paid the cashier as she chatted with Jessica, who joined the mother and daughter as they walked back to the table Adam had sulkingly claimed. As the older women caught up, Coral quickly ate as much of her lunch as she could before becoming antsy and pulling out her new controller to see how it worked. Adam was scrolling on his phone and being a typical teenager, though he did start to absent-mindedly pick at her leftovers (teenage boys are almost NEVER "not hungry").
As the backlit screen *pinged* to life, a series of options appeared, apparently detailing the people closest to the controller. Coral was astounded by it's specificity:
Female : 36yo : golden blonde hair : athletic build : right-handed : 5'10" : 168lbs
Female : 35yo : auburn hair : curvy build : right-handed : 5'5" : 145lbs
Male : 15yo : dark blond hair : slim build : left-handed : 5'8" : 130lbs
Female : 10yo : light blonde hair : slim build : left-handed : 4'5" : 75lbs
Coral's eyes were wide with wonder, and she realized that last one was describing her! "These must be the statistics of everyone at the table!" she thought. "And what are these options..." she toggled through the drop down bars, seeing that it was possible to change each of the stats however she wished. But what (or WHO?) to change first?
