Edwards and his boys were pushing and shoving each other, shouting and being generally loud and obnoxious. The barkeep scowled at them, mumbling under something under his breath.
"Aye yo! Barkeep! Bring us a some pitcher's over here!" Edward called out from the table the group had sat down at. As the bartender turned, grabbing pitchers from the rack, Jeff aimed the scanner at Edward, hitting the button. A loading icon appeared on screen briefly before loading up Edward's information.

Jeff chuckled to himself. "He's not even old enough to drink. Though, I could change that..." Tapping the age, a scroll bar appeared and Jeff scrolled it down to 21, hitting enter. At the table Edward stopped chattting with his friends for a moment as the chronivac aged him one year. The change was small, his face grew slightly more angular. The stats screen adjusted itself.

It seemed he put on a few pounds over the last year. "Interesting"
"Watcha got there pal?" The bartender was looking over Jeff's shoulder. "One of those weird simulation games?"
"Uh, ya. I made your favorite patron over there" Pointing at Edward.
"Wow, thats pretty good. Can you adjust anything about him?"
"Well ya. See?" Jeff scrolled the age meter up again, this time to 30. The stats screen didn't change however.
"Guess you gotta change everything else manually eh? Don't think he'd keep that figure into his 30s, you know what I'm saying!" The bartender laughed, picking up the pitchers onto a tray, the waitress taking it over to the table.
"Ya...." Jeff hit enter, and the stat screen started to refresh. At the table, Edward felt weird. He looked around at his friends confused. "Why am I hanging out with these college kids? Don't I have friends my own age?" His mind had already been altered, filled in with 10 years of experiences, while his body caught up. His face lost a lot of its edge, growing soft especially his cheeks and jowel. His shirt morphed, from his sports jersey to a worn down button up shirt a size too large for him. Quickly, his body fit to match, as his abs softened as a layer of fat spread out over them, creating a slight pudge, as his pecs thickened as well. His cargo pants stretched to the floor, the fabric toughening into well-worn denim, the seat of them ballooning out just ahead of his ass as it pumped outwards. Finally, his hair fell flat on his head, growing somewhat as the gel disappeared and its golden color dulled to a sandy blonde.
Despite his advanced age, he still looked handsome, just less cut. The stats screen finally refreshed.

Jeff studied the little image of the new and improved Edward somewhat unsatisfied. He'd hoped his college physique would be a long forgotten memory, buried under fat and hair, but it seems the older Edward kept active enough to stave off the worst. "Well, I could fix that."
Hitting the weight option, 3 scrollers came up, one for weight, one for Fat % and one for Muscle %. They currently read 160/ 35% / 65%. Jeff messed with the wheels till they read 200/ 50% / 50%. "Perfect... now for his hair." Clicking back, Jeff hit the More? button, scrolling till he found the option for hair. A huge list of scroll bars popped up, relating to various parts of Edwards body. At the top was a general hairiness scroll bar, currently set at 10%. Jeff scrolled it up to 40% and then found the option for facial hair, with a number of preset selections and even more specific scroll bars. Jeff thought for a moment, before giving Edward a thick, but trimmed goatee. He liked having a beard and while he wanted Edward to reflect his desires, he wanted to be the hairer one.
Jeff nodded satisfied, then hit enter. Edward, who was barely keeping up with his too-young friends lurched forward suddenly. A gurgling in his stomach caught him off guard. "Hey Ed, you ok oldman?" One of his friends placed a hand on his back. "Ya... fine" As Edward righted himself, his stomach stayed where it was, distending into a noticeable curve, his shirt riding up exposing its lower bounds, while bunching up at the top. The buttons at the middle puckered. The top of his shirt stretched as his pecs softened even more, loose their rigidity, hanging just between slabs of meat and moobs, but taking enough space to fill in his shirt. His arms puffed up, as his respectable biceps shrunk somewhat and were replaced with fat, straining the shirt sleeves. His face lost all hints of angles, rounding out and starting to form a double chin as bristles of his goatee wiggled out of his face. His jeans groaned as his ass and legs expanded with fat, a muffin top popping over the brim. Finally, Edward started scratching his chest and distended stomach as soft fur sprouted everywhere, more than a handful sticking out the gaps in his button up.
Edward looked at his 'friends' with a frown. Most of them were purposefully avoiding eye contact, and the few who did look his way looked sad or uneasy. "Hey, why are we hanging with this old geezer anyways?" One whispered "I dunno, lets ditch him."
"Hey Ed! Why don't you go get us another pitcher, were almost dry!"
"But, we just got the pitchers..."
"Ya, but you know us! They'll be gone in seconds! C'mon, be a pal!"
"Ya, okay..."
Slowly, Edward got off his stool, a little wobbly on with his new weight, before heading towards the bar. Jeff turned his head coyly, watching Edward approach, catching his 'friends' sneaking out the side door without paying their tab.
Edward reached the bar, sliding up on a stool somewhat out of breath. "Barkeep, another pitcher for my-" Edward turned to point to the now empty table, his heart sank.
"Sorry pal... but someone has to cover the tab.
"I'll cover it for him!" Jeff chimed up at this point.
