Gabriel is sitting in the chair at the hair salon, hoping that the hairdresser can ALTER his appearance. She looks horrified, because instead of hair, Gabe has snakes slithering on his head. Gabe explains that the only way he can get them to ALTER their slithering is to hypnotize them with a rhythmic drumbeat. The hairdresser brings him the drum that she just happens to have behind the counter, and as Gabe quiets the snakes with his playing, the hairdresser begins removing them one by one. Gabe, his appearance completely ALTERED, gives the hairdresser a huge tip and leaves the salon.

Grant, the gentle teacher, has come to my "-ai" home to offer me work. We sit in the living room discussing the prospect and it sounds very promising so I'm excited to take up the offer. We sign the contract and suddenly, right after I have signed my name, his face suddenly splits up and something else starts coming out. It is the worst boss I ever had (Evil Taskmaster), peeling the disguise of Grant off himself like a snakeskin, laughing a diabolic laughter!

My quick scene :
George Clooney at the bedroom of my -AI set - altering his wife's snakeskin top as she's about to tap dance at the Met Gala.
He altered the couture a quarter shorter.

Gordon Ramsay is sitting in the -ai living room set, watching a tap dancer. He's bored out of his mind and yells, "this is the same f*ing act as last time. Change it up a bit, will ya?" The dancer tries a new routine but it's still not enough. Gordon reaches behind the couch and pulls out a giant snake, tossing it next to the tap dancer, who immediately tries to run away; the snake chases him around the room as he taps a frenzied routine. Gordon Ramsay smiles and claps. "You see? Just a bit of alteration and you've won me over. Good f*ing work there!"

George Foreman (g-) is in the bathroom at Grandma Groves (-ai) place shaking vigorously after being bitten by a rattlesnake (己). The venom from the snake bite has made him start to tap dance (攵) and then something more dramatic happens. George’s skin starts to wrinkle up and becomes snakelike. He steps out the bathroom as snake man; forever ALTERED.
