When somebody wants their body parts, height, or major aesthetic features modified, they visit the Hospital. The bots are a little cagey about it, and you assume it's to prevent somebody from transforming themselves beyond recognition after committing crimes. Most of these edits leave people looking just a bit different, to get rid of little flaws that they dislike about their own avatars.
You've never undergone the process, thanks to your mistrust for the place. It's not like there's much you'd look to change anyway. Maybe height, if anything, but it's not worth placing yourself at the mercy of these robots
Phascomon looks surprised as you explain all of this to him.
<span class="mu-s">"That's nuts!"</span>
"Well, we're all just avatars in a simulation anyway. It's not that difficult to wrap my head around."
<span class="mu-s">"What about haircuts and outfits? You've done those at home, right?"</span>
"Oh, those are fine. We can handle those by ourselves."
<span class="mu-s">"So people can just... make themselves green?"</span>
"Huh? No. What kind of question is that?" You ask, pausing your walk to stare at your Digivice screen.
<span class="mu-s">"You'd think people would make bigger changes instead of just buying a new nose. What about giving themselves horns or something! Y'know, like a Digimon. If I could modify my forms without Digivolution, I'd just keep making myself stronger."</span>
"It's not a miracle tool. They stick to changes that are within the realm of human possibility."
<span class="mu-s">"Hmph. Doesn't sound like they're leveraging that tool well enough."</span>
"I'm sure there are bio-Crackers who do exactly what you're talking about, but I haven't seen anyone with an actual wacky appearance before."
<span class="mu-s">"So, the Mirror store— you mentioned a while ago that they're expensive? Like they're screens or something."</span>
"Yeah, it's trying to cash in on people who are fresh from the procedure. I think plenty of the patients here are actually coming to get their changes approved, instead of being treated for an injury."
You sense that Phascomon wants to ask more questions, but you've gotten distracted for long enough. You move away from the mirror store and continue searching.
