Damn it dammit! The remote was nowhere to be found, and if he couldn't find it, he'd have to sift through numerous boring channels, starting with what his mother had been watching when she left earlier. He had looked around throughout the living room and even in the kitchen for the remote, but no luck. And right now, he was looking around behind the large entertainment centre the family kept the TV, and numerous movies and games on and in. However, by now, it looked like he was finally getting lucky. He found something behind there, and managed to pull it out.
There were SOME perks to being thin as a rail after all!
However, as he looked at it, it dawned on him this was not what he was looking for at all. It had a large number of settings, next to none of them related to the TV and channels. Age (v and ^), GENDER(?), weight (v or ^), DetailChange (??), and Species (???). There were even other things still on this weird-ass remote.
Well, he decided to play around with it a little. His parents and sister were out at her gymnastics thing, leaving him alone and able to fool around. So he pressed the on button, and the TV suddenly turned on, showing an image of Gregory, naked as can be, and with the stats on the Remote circling his form. He grimaced at himself, he knew he was skinny, but he thought he was at least a little more in shape than that. Even stranger was how it got such a picture.
Well, Gregory decided, it was time to play around. And the first order of business, he decided, was to check up on Age. He pressed the button several times, accidentally holding it down once, and resulted in an image of a block lettered word above his form in the TV - PLUS SIXTEEN. He thought about that, that'd make him thirty. Maybe this would let him see how he'd age.
As he pressed okay, he was brought to another screen. Multiple choice captions, Age Well, Age As Is, or Age Poorly. He picked Age Well, as a matter of interest in seeing how he could grow if he treated himself better. The next said "Normal Change or Change Reality". He decided to just go with Normal for now. The following one said "Length of Transformation" with a pre-set caption of 10 min. Gregory changed the ten minutes around until he felt sure about it, eventually settling on Length of Transformation - 2 hours. His parents had said that he would be alone till Midnight, and it was still the middle of the day...whatever this was, he could amuse himself.
A confirmation screen saying the makers of "CHANGEMAX" are not responsible for any odd occurrences, and to confirm if you want to Change. He felt rather annoyed, so he just clicked confirm.
Even as he watched the time start to click down from 2 hours, he felt an odd tingling sensation...
