What’s the first thing you look up?

The notification settings.

It was very tempting to look up Jess or Shauna but the last thing you needed was to not know what was being changed. Thankfully there was a settings gear at the upper left and tapping it lead to a page that was mostly grayed out lines. For obvious reasons you couldn’t access ‘DNA mutagenic rates’ or ‘gestational effects” but tapping on notifications brought up a nice big list of what you could get push notifications for. You selected ‘self, family, societal norms’ and told it to summarize the changes that happen.

Next you actually took at look at yourself. Yes, you can’t edit yourself but something had been bothering you. Or to be more correct, hadn’t bothered you at all. You had always felt very comfortable as a guy. Yeah your life wasn’t the greatest and Jess was always there to make it worse but you actually were fine with your body. A feeling that continued with your new completely different body. So one search later you find a set of very disappointing, if not expected, answers:

Sexuality: Pan (this individual could be attracted to anyone on a sexual level.) *this has been changed by a System Administrator. History locked.

Romance: feminine leaning (if left to their own devices this individual will form romantic attractions to those presenting as feminine.) *this has been changed by a System Administrator. History locked.

Gender: Gelatinous (This individual will be comfortable with their physical body’s sex regardless or inspite of other concerns) *this has been changed by a System Administrator. History locked.

Note: some changes attributed to System Administrator are a result of currently in place magic systems.

To be fair, you’re a little surprised by the ‘romance’ setting. Was it just a side effect of everything else or did Jess set that specifically for some reason? Maybe you’re being a little too paranoid. Yes, Jess remade the world so she could torment you, while you sit next to a furry and a planter in a floating classroom, taught by a cowgirl currently fighting with Windows XP so that she can use a projector. Actually maybe you should keep being that paranoid. If Jess could do it on purpose, assume it was done on purpose.

The rest of class was spent alternating between trying to pay attention to class, and looking up the answer to whatever question popped into your mind on the app. More often than not the answer was something you expected, but sometimes it surprised you. Like how apparently Uncle Mark is at the Canadian Moon Base.

“Miss Imada a minute?” Miss MacKenna sat at her desk, seemingly fiddling with something. It took you a moment to realize she meant you. You also realized the rest of class were filing out so you must have missed the bell, being transfixed on looking up any other Moon Bases.

Putting your cell phone away as you stood, you walked up to her desk where you found the thing she fiddling with was basically a crystal rubrics cube. “Hana I understand your desire to learn more about your your possible endpoints, and I apologize for cutting your time short but I can not have you on your cell phone all class, is that understood?”

“Of course, won’t happen again.” You were panicking on the inside. Of course the push notifications wouldn’t tell you what changed before you turned them on. You really should have double checked that CAMP thing.

“Make sure it doesn’t. See you again for seventh period.” She smiled, dismissing you and going back to the crystal rubrics cube. You went back to you desk, grabbed your bag and made your way out.

Is the next class normal or weird?
