You look at the statue dumbfounded. That statue had been a man just a few moments ago. You look at the man who wants you to be his adopted daughter and wondered if he would change the other man back. Seeming to read your mind he says, "I won't be turning him back for awhile. He was stealing from me and this is how I tend to deal with thieves."
"So how many people have you turned into statues?" you ask trying to get your mind around what just happened.
"Just a couple," the man says nonchalantly.
"Why did his hair turn blond when he became a girl?" you ask. "That would be body modification and only the Mod Ring could do that. Am I right?"
The man comes over and unties you as he says, "For the most part that would be correct. However sometimes when the sex is switched other genes become dominate. This can result in hair color changing or birthmarks forming or disappearing. If when you change you want to make some modifications to your body I know who has the Mod Ring."
"Have you met the person?" you ask as you're freed.
"I have not met him but I know who it is," the man says going over to a desk. You follow him and he hands you a magazine opened to an article about a plastic surgeon named Lawrence Lavigeo. "People think he's a very skilled surgeon," the man says sighing. "Of course anyone who knows about the rings can see that he's using the Mod Ring." You read through the article and after you finish you can see how he does it knowing about the rings now. The man waits until you've finished before asking, "So will you accept my offer?"
You think for a moment before saying, "I'll accept your offer. It might be fun to be a girl. What about clothes though?"
"I have some employees who enjoy becoming clothes," the man says with a smile. "Now you have to point the ring at yourself and think of the age you want to be. After you have to take the ring off in order for me to transform you."
"Why do I need to do that?" you ask getting a little suspicious.
"None of the rings will transform a person wearing another ring," the man said being dead serious. "If you want proof try to regress me."
You point the ring at him and think, "One year old." Unlike with Jack however nothing happened to the man. This surprises you and you ask, "Why didn't it work?"
"I already told you that the rings won't transform someone wearing one of the other rings," the man says shaking his head.
"Why did you have me tied up then?" you ask getting a little angry.
"It was so you didn't wake up and regress any of my men," the man says shrugging.
You calm yourself down thinking that it was a reasonable precaution. They didn't know if you knew what you had. To them you could have easily regressed them all back to the womb. Taking a deep breath you aim the ring at yourself. "Oh one thing," the man says interrupting you. "I would ask that the maximum age you be is fourteen. Give us a few years to be a family."
You nod wondering if this was a smart idea. What age were you going to make yourself though?
