Chapter #7A New Opportunity? by: Iruiel   Hatsune Miku looked at the offered contract the agent had given her with a bit of apprehension. The agent's company was one who made healthier alternatives to most nutritional products preached by companies such as GNC, and who had their stores stocked full of chemical compounds, natural, unnatural and otherwise noted. She wasn't one in particular to work out, although she exercised often in order to keep her trim figure. Bodybuilding, for good reason, just never appealed to her. The company, Natural Growth LTD, however, was proposing something very interesting to her, something that might break that limit on herself. "So...you want me to promote one of your products by using it for a month. And show how much of an improvement in my body it gives in comparison to someone taking one of the normal compounds?"
The rather proper-dressed agent smiled warmly, nodding after sweating bullets this entire time wondering if she was going to take their proposal seriously. Wiping his brow a little, he began to explain. "Yes, Miss Hatsune. See, we're trying to expand our business here, from a smaller shop to one that can actually be stocked at places like GNC. Our product is wholesome, without being enriched or having nasty side effects. All we're asking you to do is take a dose a day for a month, lift weights and work your body, and then give us pictures of your improvement every week during that month. That is all. We've tailored an outfit to fit your tastes and with fabric that will suit your growing form, however fit or big it gets from your training, and we will provide any amenities necessary. We are successful in our endeavour. We would just like to be able to branch out from our small offices into something bigger." He waited for a moment with another smile before opening up a suitcase he brought with him, which contained the product that he was promoting. "This is our newest lineup...Bulk-UP, a naturally enhanced milkshake for building muscle. Not the best of names, of course, but it sells well enough. It comes in several flavors. You don't have to try all the flavors, but you can pick which ones you want."
With a soft click, the suitcase was opened and turned to Miku, whose aqua eyes roamed over the shakes sitting in neat little rows. There were four flavors; chocolate, vanilla, strawberry, and mint, all of which where contained in these bottles shaped like slight hourglasses. They were quite thick too; each one was said to contain about 20 ounces of the stuff, and upon picking one up she found it was rather heavy. Looking up at the agent, the Vocaloid put the bottle back down, looking at the month's case of Bulk-UP, "So this is it then? No strings attached, nothing else? Just work out once a day after drinking a shake?"
"That is correct. We'll pay for any amenities, any issues you have, and give you a nice, tax-free lump sum of ten thousand US dollars to your name. And any likenesses we use of you for posters and advertising will give you bonus royalties long after you've left our service. And just in case, note any strangeness. If anything crops up, stop taking the product with no penalties," he finished, holding is breath for the outcome.
Weighing the options in her hand, considering that this might end up a considerable alteration in her body, Miku once again read through the contract, noting that they would pay for any damages that she incurred at no expense to herself. Knowing that this was quite a risk, and yet, somehow feeling like this is an opportunity that she shouldn't miss, maybe for something exciting, the idol nodded, grinning at the agent as she signed the contract. "You have yourself a deal!"
He breathed a sigh of relief, taking the contract from her and smiling widely. Standing up, he bowed to her politely, leaving the briefcase with all the Bulk-Up shakes inside. "Thank you very much, Miss Hatsune! Pleasure doing business with you, and we hope to hear from you soon!" He let himself out the door, and within a few moments, he was gone, heading back to the corporate headquarters with good news. Giggling a little at his exit, she reached down, picking out one of the shakes, and for the first time noticing that there was a workout outfit for her embedded in the top of the suitcase.It was a lovely aqua and black leotard, with black, toeless thigh highs with aqua hems around the top and the toe and heel sections.
"Guess they were more serious than I thought...might as well give it my all!" she grins a little, wondering what she got herself into this time. She had some strange contracts before, most of which she got out of, but this one was a bit tamer and yet at the same time stranger than those. Miku could only wonder where this could take her as she took the drink in hand, heading to change and head into the room where most of the Vocaloids' workout equipment was kept; the home gym.
