"How can it tell that you're the owner? You didn't have to type in anything. No verification or any of that shit."
Will shrugged. "If it can do what they say, it can definitely do this."
"Do you believe it?" Troy asked.
"I kind of do. And you?"
Troy nodded. For the last six months, people had been changing their appearance all over the world, and all of them claimed it was because of what appeared to be a simple computer program. Some were easy to dismiss by saying they had plastic surgery, or a good diet and exercise. But when a small group of people flew over to the Caribbean and started the world's first colony of real functional mermaids, the skeptics suddenly went quiet. Humanity was about to change forever, and Will now had the facilitator of said change running on his computer, and felt obligated to try it out.
"So... Wanna go first?" he asked, somewhat weary at the idea of being changed.
To his surprise, Troy nodded. "Sure. I can always change back, right?" Apparently, he hadn't noticed Will's tone of voice, or perhaps he just didn't care.
"Any suggestions?"
Troy thought for a moment, scratching the back of his neck as he did so. "Turn me into a hot chick."
Will blinked in surprise. "Uhm, are you sure?"
Troy let himself fall back onto his bed. "You know what?" he said as he made himself comfortable, "Don't ask any further questions and just design a hot woman. You can make me your ideal woman for all I care." From the position on his bed he wouldn't be able to tell what was going on on Will's computer screen. Any changes Will made would be a total surprise to him.
With a sigh, Will clicked Troy's profile and examined his options. "If that's what you want." The idea of his friend and roommate as a beautiful woman was a strange one, but perhaps he was worrying too much. He had already seen an option that would change Troy back to his regular self, and felt himself relax. "Just a bit of fun," he muttered under his breath.
