Jon dove out of the way. But Karyn wasn't so lucky. After the high-pitched sound stopped, he looked up from the hallway floor. "Karyn?" he asked, weakly.
She looked down at herself in shock. Her hair was a bit longer and dyed black, with blue highlights. She had dark blue eyeshadow and dark blue lipstick, as well as many piercings, mostly in her ears. And her complexion was very pale. None of this she saw, of course. What she did see was her black latex corset and short worn skirt. Underneath were fishnets and black boots. She had dark blue polish on her nails and a tattoo on her left arm.
Zoe had turned her into a Goth girl.
Jon couldn't see her, but he heard Zoe walking up the stairs and speaking to Karyn as she did it. "So, Karyn. How do you feel?"
"You turned me into a freak." There was pain in her eyes.
"You won't feel like that soon." Jon could see her smiling in his mind. Zoe was enjoying this.
Karyn knew that she was right, though. When Jon turned her into a ditz, she eventually felt fine with her new self. The same thing would happen with this. Unless, she tried to really fight it.
Zoe turned the corner and saw Jon on the floor. "Hmm. I seemed to have missed." She raised the device towards Jon and put her finger over the trigger.
