Just as Evan was about to turn off the TV and explore his new home, something caught his eye. A reality show titled "Zaftig's Oddest Pairs" began playing. The show focused on pairs of roommates who had wildly different lifestyles, thrown together in the same apartment for the sake of entertainment. The premise was simple: a fitness fanatic had to live with a couch potato, a neat freak with a hoarder, a vegan with a carnivore, and so on. It was the kind of show that made you cringe and laugh at the same time, but it was the first thing he'd seen that didn't revolve around obesity.
The camera panned over to the show's host, a cheetah with a sleek figure and a mischievous smile. She announced with dramatic flair, "And for our next season, we're looking for a new twist! We want to pair the skinniest fur we can find with our heaviest contestant yet!"
Evan couldn't help but feel a twinge of curiosity as the cheetah continued, "So, if you're a skinny fur living in or willing to move to Port Zaftig, and you think you can handle the challenge of living with one of our lovable behemoths, don't hesitate to contact our studio!" She rattled off the number and website on the screen, her eyes sparkling with excitement.
The idea of being on a reality show had never crossed Evan's mind before, but now, sitting in his oversized apartment in this bizarrely oversized city, he found himself considering it. The prize money would certainly come in handy, and the thought of leaving his mark on a place that was already so vastly different from Bastion was intriguing. Plus, it would be an adventure, something he hadn't had in a long time.
But the cons of joining the show weighed heavily on him. For one, he was already feeling like a fish out of water in Port Zaftig; being thrust into the spotlight would only amplify that feeling. The idea of living with a fur who could potentially be several times his size was intimidating, and the thought of his private life being broadcasted for everyone to see was a little unsettling. He had moved here to escape the prying eyes of his small town, not to invite millions more into his personal space.
After a moment of contemplation, Evan decided to take the plunge. He picked up his phone, his paw hovering over the screen as he re-read the number for "Zaftig's Oddest Pairs." He took a deep breath and dialed, the anticipation building with every ring. On the fourth ring, a cheery voice picked up, "Hello, and welcome to the casting call for 'Zaftig's Oddest Pairs'! This is Janine, how may I assist you today?"
Evan introduced himself, explaining that he had just moved to the city and had seen the ad on TV. "Well, welcome to Port Zaftig, Evan! And congratulations, you're just what we're looking for!" Janine exclaimed, her enthusiasm palpable through the phone. "You've got the look we want for our new season. How soon can you come in for an interview? And you'll get a chance to meet your partner for the show..."
