Sean hadn't discovered it while playing with the Chronivac software, but the "changes cause change to reality outside Chronivac range" preference setting was on. Therefore, when Jay and Dave came home -- slightly buzzed from going out to a bar and striking out with all the ladies there -- they found nothing odd about the attractive Goth chick sleeping on the living room sofa of the house they shared.
"Jeez, Rain fell asleep on the couch again," muttered Jay.
Dave shushed him, but Jay said, "What? She could sleep through a tornado. Hey, what's that?" He pointed to the device that looked like a cross between a remote control and a gun, sitting on the floor right where it would have fallen out of Rain's hand, connected to the nearby computer by a USB cable.
"Looks like some kind of game controller," suggested Dave. He leaned down, picked it up, and frowned at some of the buttons on the top, not to mention the small LCD display at the top that read "Make Changes on PC/OK to Disconnect/Charge 100%."
Dave jiggling the device was apparently enough to cause the computer to wake up from its sleep mode. Jay noticed, and looked at the unfamiliar screen. "Hey, it's like these are, I don't know, Rain's stats or something."
"Rain's stats?" Dave turned to look.
"Yeah, height, weight, hair color, eye color, all that," said Jay. "Heh, there's even horniness level -- it says '35% constant,' and under that it says 'normal is 0% to 30% variable.'"
"You think this is some kind of weird RPG thing?" asked Dave. Without waiting for an answer, he pointed to the device and said, "The little screen on this thing says to make changes on PC. Let's see what happens when you do that."
"Uh, okay," said Jay. He scanned the options quickly and then clicked on the "breast size" option, which currently read "36B natural." Some quick work with the choices that popped up, and it became "36J natural w/enhanced support." He pointed at it, and Dave nodded his approval.
Text appeared at the bottom of the screen: "Aim device at subject and pull trigger to save changes." Dave did as instructed, saying, "Here goes nothing."
The two guys weren't really expecting anything to happen, but they stood there stupefied as they watched their female roommate's breasts swell, and swell, and swell. Her top transformed so that its upper half became a black halter top, barely holding in the massive porcelain-skinned mounds beneath.
Dave and Jay looked at each other, their mouths hanging open.
