Dave had been working at the law firm or more than a decade now and the wear and tear was starting to. His hair started graying in his mid-20s, and the lack of sleep and exercise found him at risk of stroke, heart attack, and diabetes. He was on that "sigma" gride set, trying to pull just one more promotion and significant deals and get that possible end-of-year bonus. Now in his mid-30s, looking like he's in his mid-40s, 300+ pounds, and on a cocktail of medications to get out of bed in the morning. Dave knows he is the most competent person in the room and the most experienced lawyer there, but he didn't look as young or energetic as he used to, and Dave knows this business was a young person. So, when he sees the pop-up ad for Better-U and sees the young muscle-bound beast on screen he clicked on the ad and got an appointment set up.
two weeks later
Dave got out of the van that his Uber drive at the large anthropomorphic polar bear driving it. He waves back at him as the electric van drives away leaving him at a strange part of the city, he rarely gets a chance to see. The Genetic Variants District or the GVD officially is where most of the Bio-modding in the city takes place. Its got mixed reactions from the people if some of the graffiti reading "gene freaks" by the purists of the city, sums up the feeling of the more critical of the practice of gene-splicing and editing thats been fading out cyber ware for some time now.
Dave began to walk to the clinic where his appointment is at. It was an exciting walk, as he saw different animal people going about their day. A cheetah woman going for a jog, a gay hyena and lion couple eating out at a cafe, and dog people playing fetch with themselves in the local park. It would be a strange sight for most but to Dave it just gave him more ideas for what he's going to do to himself for work and want to do when his own changes were finished.
After a good 10-minute walk Dave saw the clinic sign in an old brick three story building, sharing the space with would looks to be an animal Hybred focused Gym called "The Muscle Zoo" with pics of buff animal hybrids in different states of fitness and dress on banners just outside the gyms entryway on the first floor. It was a lot louder compared to the quieter, more modest advertising at the clinic's entryway leading up to the 2nd floor.
Dave makes his way inside the clinic seeing the lobby full of a mix of modified humans and Anthos alike either waiting patiently on the tail-friendly furniture or looking out the viewing windows going out to the gym floor full of different hybrid body types working out. You go up to the counter where an busy otter woman in business wear is on the phone and trying to work on two computers at the same time. So she's sees dave walking up andhears the otter say "I'm sorry please hold i got a clinic in front of me" before putting whoever on hold, giving Dave her full attraction.
"welcome to Better-U, where we Make you, a Better U how may I be of assesses?" she said in her best customer service voice despite some clear sides of tiredness on her face.
"yeah I'm here for my 11:45 appointment?" Dave said looking over his phone messages and showing his appointment ID to the otter secretary who quickly scans it and prints something out for her.
"yes, Dave heres your paperwork look over it to see if everything is there and we'll text you when the doctor is ready to see you. Thank you for picking Better-U for your genetic splishing needs." as the otter handing Dave the papers with her webbed leathery hand paws before she get back to her calls and computer work.
Dave finds a chair that would take his large mass and starts looking over the paperwork making sure they got the suitable animal DNA would be USED on him.
