Probably

I probably should have specified the game when I wished to become a "kickass video game hero," Harold mused.

Second thoughts

The witch said I had twenty four hours to find the girl with whom I swapped bodies if I ever wanted to get my old one back. She did not take well to being me, and she went on a total bender. I located her with one hour to spare. Over the phone, I told her she could meet me at the airport, while I hung out at the apartment of some chick I met at the lesbian bar. Like I'm going to go back to being a flabby fifty year old man when I have a body like this!

Glitch

I had all weekend to experiment with the MAU, so I thought I would try a cute female Asian body. Somehow, thought, there was an imaging glitch in the system, and moments after I stepped out of the unit, another nearly identical me stepped out. Then another. And another. And another. That's when  the machine coughed up some smoke and died. Turns out we're all the same person, just repeated five times. I'd be pretty stressed out about not getting my old body back, but now  have four close friends and lovers to get me through it.
