Trait Swap

Joshua Moore rubbed his eyes and sat up in bed feeling unusually groggy. He laid for a minute and then decided to get going. He slipped on a pair of jeans and a t-shirt and headed downstairs for breakfast.

Josh was greeted by his mother making breakfast in kitchen as usual. Josh was only 20 and he still lived at home with his mom and his 2 sisters. His older sister, Holly, had graduated college the year before and worked in a local secretarial position. She was a ginger, about 5’5” and curvy, but self conscious about her weight. She usually dressed modestly, and her blue eyes stood out behind the big rimmed glasses that sat on her freckled face. Holly grabbed a bowl of cereal from the cabinet and sat down as she fumbled with the string on her pajama pants. Meanwhile, Josh noticed that his younger sister, Chloe, was already getting ready for her morning jog.

Chloe was petite at only 5’2”, and had lengthy brown hair. She had a sweet face and a cheery demeanor, but rarely smiled because she was self conscious about her braces that she’d had since high school. Josh looked back at his mom, Crystal, preparing a smoothie for Chloe and herself.

Crystal Moore was 5”6’ and in her early 40s, but in many ways still in her prime. She was the textbook definition of a trophy wife, but recently divorced and on the dating scene again with the help of a pair of fake breasts she had acquired the previous year. She had blonde hair, a pretty (but lightly wrinkled) face, and a figure that had stood the test of time.

Josh, meanwhile, was just over 6 feet tall and had a pretty standard build. He hadn’t attracted much female attention, but he had a girlfriend and that was good enough for him. Josh felt something unfamiliar poke against his leg in the back pocket of his jeans. He reached back a grabbed something out, a business card he had never seen before. He read the text carefully and it said the following:

“JOSHUA MOORE: YOU NOW HAVE THE POWER TO SWAP TRAITS WITH OTHERS BY WAY OF _____”
