Job hunt (part 1)

I was laying down on my bed in just my underwear in my room which was covered in darkness, I looked at the clock on the end table next to my bed and it said 11:57 PM, 'Why can't I sleep?' I thought to myself.

I sat up and turned on the lamp next to the clock which illuminated the room, in between my desk and end table was a whiteboard calendar with red and blue markers magnetized to it, on the other end was the door into the rest of my home and near that one was my closet, on my desk was a computer monitor, my phone was charging next to the computer, and at the end of my bed was a window that had moonlight shone through and on the floor below the calendar was a weight scale,and next to my door was a trash bin.

I looked at the calendar and then I realized why I couldn't sleep, it was the last day of September, 'Crap, I forgot to do it today.' I thought ,back in January after a yearly check up with my physician, he said that I was below average on the weight scale for black bear men my age, so he told me to eat more and check my weight every month, which is why I bought a weight scale.

I got up from bed and got onto the scale, and after waiting a couple of seconds checked my weight, "699 pounds huh." I thought out loud 'Man this new diet is working, I gained a hundred pounds in 31 days, and to think that I'm a light weight with black bear men.' I thought, I erased the month name and the number of the last recorded weight which was 589 pounds, I then used the red marker to write down October and swapped to the blue marker to write down my weight under the month name.

I then felt hungry which was made evident when my belly then begun to growl, I the turned to my desk and opened one of the drawers which was filled to the brim with my secret stash of sour cream and cheddar flavor potato chip bags, some small and some family/party sized ones, I grabbed about five of the big bags and four of the smaller ones, I opened one of the smaller bags and begun to eat the chips.

"Thank god I was reborn into a modern fantasy world, I like medieval fantasy worlds but I don't think I would like all that labor and stuff." I said to myself before stuffing a hand full of chips into my mouth "And af a bonoff, my fovrut flovur of hip hexit in thef horld!" I said with a mouthful of chips, getting crumbs onto my fur.

after I ate all of the chips in the bags, I felt full and a satisfied belch escaped my mouth, I wiped the crumbs off my body and threw the empty bags away into the trash, I then layer down in my bed and turned off my lamp, I cover myself up in my sheets and fell asleep.

*8:30 AM*

I was woken up by the beeping of my clock, I was really tired and after a attempt to stop it beeping and after I did I fell of my bed with a thud, I didn't really wake up until a boom echoed through the house, "That must've been Alex." I groaned, I slowly got up from the floor rubbing the back of my head, I walked over to my closet, I then put on a basic t shirt with dark blue sweatpants.

I exited my room, on the opposite side of the hall from my room was the door to Alex's room, on the door was a sign with her name written in cursive on it, smoke was leaking out from the bottom of her door which meant that one of her experiments failed.

I opened her door and a dense fog of smoke escaped the room "Is everything ok in here?" I asked before coughing "Yeah, I'm fine Tobias, just a sign that I have made a mistake." Alex said, The smoke dissipated and revealed Alex next to her pink cauldron, she was a human with dyed pink hair that went halfway down her back and she wore a purple shirt with shorts, and she wore safety glasses which are clouded up with smoke.

her room was all pink except for her makeup area and bookshelf, in it was a bed with pink sheet, her walls had posters, her makeup area had what any one would expect but she only uses the brush and sometimes the pink dye for her hair, she only uses the lipstick and masqcara for parties and important meetings, her bookshelf had many bottles and only five of them had anything in them, the bottom shelf had romance novels and books on potion making, leaning onto her bookshelf was an obvious sign of her career, a flying broom stick that witches use as transportation.

"What ya workin on this time?" I asked "I've been trying to try and make this Transmutation potion that a customer ordered for the past four hours." Alex said as she took off he glasses "I should be able to fix the batch, I just need something to rebalance the magical essence." She said as she walked over to me, she then plucked a piece of my fur off which hurt a little.

Decided to let her do her thing, I then smelled the enticing smell of bacon coming from the kitchen, I walked over to the kitchen, in it was Sam cooking up a storm, he had short white hair and he wore a striped T-shirt and was wearing jeans, Alex only introduced me to him a week before we moved here and from what I hear he's been trying to save money to open up a gym where he can also teach proper diets for both humans and beast men.

He turned his head around and noticed me without breaking his cooking rhythm "Good morning, how'd you sleep last night?" Sam asked "Not so well." I replied "So how's it going with your orders from the doctor?" Sam asked "I gained a hundred pounds during the last month." I answered, Sam turned his attention back to the food "I don't know if I really support the idea that you have to gain 61 more pounds but hey, If I want to open a gym for beastmen and humans then I'll have to get used to the fact that a few will pack away the pounds more then others." He said.
