You pick out the ninja costume, and look at the picture on the front of the packaging.
It depicts a rather built man in the costume, squatting on a rock amidst a forest backdrop. His face is hidden by the hooded mask, but a pair of asian eyes stare out seriously.
A notice under the image is "one size fits all"
Admittedly its probably exaggerated, due to the size of the model, and the faux backdrop, but there's something attracting about the image, and you haven't gone as a ninja yet, so you purchase it and head home.
You get home, strip down in front of the mirror, and open the packaging.
It consists of a jumpsuit, gi, slippers, and a hooded mask that only shows your eyes.
You step into the jumpsuit, pulling it up your skinny legs, over your chest, and sliding your arms into the sleeves. The suit is rather baggy, but you figure the gi will slimfit it to your body. You step into the slippers, which appear a few sizes too big for your feet.
You slip your arms in the gi, and wrap it tight around your slender form.
You sigh, a bit depressed at the costume so far. Well, I got what I paid for, I guess, you think.
You pull the hood over your head, and adjust it until you can see through the mask.
Instantly your body is wracked with aches and cramps. You fall to your knees and cry out as fire races through your body. You feel your body begin to stretch and bulk up with muscle.
Your shoulders widen and biceps inflate, burning like an inhuman work-out. Your chest expands, and your legs feel as though they're the size of tree trunks.
Tingles run through your hands and feet, swelling them to match your growing proportions.
You feel a shudder run through your head as your face morphs under the mask, topped off by an itching sensation along your jaw and chest.
With that, the pain stops.
You climb unsteadily to your feet, confused as hell. Is this a dream? you wonder hazily as you look at your huge hands, down your large arms, and run them across your big, rock-hard body.
There's a spreading of short black hairs along your chest, visible from the top of the gi.
You look in the mirror and gasp.
You're a complete look-alike of the ninja on the costume packaging.
From the tall, buff body, to the asian eyes in the mask.
Removing the mask, you see a strangers face in place of your own.
Thick eyebrows droop confused over dark, fierce, narrow eyes.
Your jaw is much wider, square, and tipped with a thick beard.
Panic starts setting in, questions flying through your mind at top speed, how did this happen? Why? Is it reversible? Am I stuck this way?
Suddenly you begin to calm down. Your mind is yelling that this isn't natural, and to stay aware, but your new thoughts are calm and peaceful. You're actually pleased with your rugged new body.
Any memories of your former body are forgotten as you eye your handsome mug with satisfaction before pulling the hood-mask back on.
I'm gonna hook up tonight, you think confidently as you prepare to leave...
