“You have got to be shitting me. I’m actually going to do this” Mark said, as they made their way into the IOC location at the mall.
“Didn’t this used to be sunglass hut?” Julie asked, not having much consideration for Mark’s stress.
“Yeah dude, it was but now they’ve moved it downstairs. They needed the larger space for the IOC.” Stephanie said, casually. Mark didn’t notice that Stephanie had her arm around Julie’s lower back - something that they used to do before but now she was a lot more in to it than before.
Passing the victoria’s secret and some of the other women’s stores, Mark said “and to think, i’ll be able to wear those. Fuck - like I’ll fit those better than most of the models.” Speaking a bit louder to Jule and Stephanie, he said “guys, i’m starting to freak out. I’ve never done this and it’s not, like, for a vacation or anything it’s for a long time. Like, our friends will fucking see us like this.”
Julie pulled away from Stephanie for a second and hugged Mark. “Look sweetie - it’ll be fine. People do this all the time now, and we already posted about the robbery on Instagram. Everyone knows. It’ll even be fun!”
“But what about all the shit about being a woman, like knowing about clothes and stuff and hygiene and shit. Like, I’m going to have to watch youtube 24/7”
“I’m here to help you babe! I don’t think Stephanie even knows half of that shit right now either.”
“Right! But I can tie like any knot dude! It’s wild the knowledge they gave me.” Stephanie replied.
Mark just silently resigned himself to his fate as they went into the IOC.
“Stephanie!” The attendant exclaimed as they walked in. She ran over and gave Stephanie a big hug, which Stephanie let happen a bit too long. “Back so soon!? I thought you were gone in a couple of days! Is something wrong?”
“No! Not at all. In fact, it’s fucking great! But my friends here on the other hand..”
Stephanie proceeded to explain the situation to the attendant, who whisked them into an interview room quickly.
“Okay, so you need Stephanie’s measurements on file. Stephanie - we will get you to go ahead and sign the release on the tablet there while we continue. Okay, so measurements for Julie and Mark. Anything else? With these passes we can do mental and physical modifications, so what would you like?”
Mark answered first.”For me just the measurements and I guess feminize my face or some shit. Maybe give me a short female haircut? I want to fit in but i don’t want long hair.”
The attendant nodded and typed on her keyboard, ” Any mental changes? Knowledge or anything?”
“No! Don’t fuck with my mind!” He responded.
“Okay, and just in case, who is your delegate if we have any issues?”
“I guess my wife Julie and then Stephanie if needed.”
“Okay! Why don’t you sign here for that and we will go ahead and get you set up. Go down the hallway to door 4 and we will get you set in a minute.”
“ Well babe, I guess this is the last time i’ll see you for a bit. Next time we will be the same height and everything.” Mark said to Julie, as she stood up to hug him and give him a kiss. She popped up on her toes a bit for fun.
“See you soon, stud!” Julie said as she smacked Mark on the ass as he left the room. With a mischievous grin, she turned around to the attendant and Stephanie. “So, did I correctly gather that I’m his delegate now? Like I can authorize changes and memories for him, right?”
The attendant, a bit uncomfortable but not letting ethics get in the way of a commission: “Yes, that would be accurate.”
“Fuck yeah!”
Julia laid out the changes she wanted for herself, as well as a few updates to the profile of Mark as well.
“Okay, that should just about do it, the attendant said. Let’s get you and Mark sorted out! Julie you are in room 6.”
