As Lucas selected the "Change" button, the device gave his finger the familiar shock. And once again the words "CHOOSE TARGET" popped up. However, when Lucas selected himself this time, he wasn't greeted with an error. Instead, the device began to list hundreds of different options. Ranging from simple things such as height to crazier things like gender!
Holy crap! Can this thing do what I think it can do? Is this thing gonna show me what I'd look like with a beard?
Lucas's eyes lit up when he saw the potential this thing had. It was like using one of those AI filters on yourself, except this time in 3d and on what was essentially an alien IPad! Lucas was ecstatic to see what he would look like with a beard. He had always been the kind of guy who struggled to grow one himself, so he figured it could help him finally reach his goal. As he selected beard, a multitude of different options came up. Not wanting to over complicate things, Lucas chose the "generic" option. As he looked at the 3d render, he was very well pleased to see it grow a nice looking generic beard.
Oh I look better then I ever could've imagined! Curse these genetics for giving me such baby face!
Just as Lucas was about to hit the back button, he saw there was a tiny "SUBMIT" in the bottom right hand corner, just below the rendering. Curious as to what it did, Lucas hid the button. The device immediately let out a huge zap of purple electricity. Lucas let out a little wimper as he was shocked. Just then, Lucas began to feel an intense heat gathering around his face before an extreme itch. As he brought his hand up, he felt what seemed to be facial hair.
Wait a minute—there's no way this thing did what I think it did, right? Did this thing just alter my appearance?
Lucas sat there in disbelief as he began to fondle his now hairy chin. He got up and ran towards the nearest mirror.
Holy crap! I have a beard! How did this thing do that? Wait, does that mean I can change anything about myself? Are all those options available for me to mess around with?
Running back to the device, Lucas began to furiously look through all the different options before him. It looked as though sleeping was no longer on the to-do-list...
