"I don't know about this one, Pete," Charlie watched on the video monitor of the overweight, slightly nerdy guy seated on a folding chair in the waiting area, filling out a packet of paperwork.
"Trust me Charlie. This is the type of guy we need now. I found some of the stuff he's posted on TF themed message boards. He's the one to do the animal transformations people have been requesting. He's into it, I promise. Like really into it." Pete paced back and forth behind Charlie.
Charlie let out an audible sigh. "Alright, fine. Give him the nanites and lead him to the audition room."
Pete smiled and exited the control booth. He walked over to the front area of the building, where the waiting area was set up and found the young man still seated there.
"Nate? We're ready for you." said Pete.
Nate looked up and smiled. "Perfect timing, I just finished the paperwork."
"I'll take that." Pete took the clipboard from Nate and signaled for him to follow him.
"I have to admit, I was quite surprised when I got your email. I never thought of myself as the model type. What sort of modeling will I be doing?" asked Nate.
"It'll be directed to a very specific audience," replied Pete. They reached the audition room, which was dressed as a very simple living room type set.
"It's not porn, is it?" asked Nate.
"Not exactly, no. You'll see, soon enough. Please have a seat and someone will be in to see you." Pete handed him a bottle of water with the CYOC Industries logo on the bottle. "Here's a complimentary bottle of water to enjoy while you wait."
"Oh thank you, I actually was thirsty." Nate twisted off the cap and took a swig as he walked across the room to the couch. He looked around the room. Something seemed off, but he couldn't put his finger on it. He sat down on the couch and took another swig of water.
Pete closed the door and walked back to the control room. Charlie was already working his magic on the computer.
"Alright, I got him set up in the room," Pete set the clipboard down on the desk and pulled up a chair next to Charlie.
"The nanites are active and ready to go. The question is, what do we turn him into?" asked Charlie.
"Hmm..." replied Pete.
