Your apartment in Neo Avari City

♫Bleep bloop bleep. Bloop bloop bleep♫~... ♫Bleep bloop bleep. Bloop bloop bleep♫~

The sound of your alarm wakes you from your slumber. You fumble around with your eyes closed trying to swat the button to make the annoying sound stop but no matter what you do you can't seem to find it.

♫Bleep bloop bleep. Bloop bloop bleep♫~... ♫Bleep bloop bleep. Bloop bloop bleep♫~

It jingles again and finally you surrender to your own incompetence and open your eyes. What greets you is not your normal alarm but rather... a hologram? It's being projected from a small device on your bedside table which now looks much more robotic. You don't know what to process first, the fact there's a hologram in front of you or the fact said hologram is displaying the time and date as 7:00AM, Monday, August 30th, 3084. You're completely at a loss for words, this had to be a mistake. Your train of thought is derailed though as the alarm goes off once again.

♫Bleep bloop bleep. Bloop bloop bleep♫~... ♫Bleep bloop bleep. Bloop bloop bleep♫~

You raise your hand and press the holographic 'STOP' button. Immediately, the holographic window recedes into the device on the table and gives you some peace and quiet. You take this moment to observe your surroundings. Your whole room ultimately looks the same but with a much more futuristic coat of paint. All your furniture, as well as your books and games, seem to be in the same places they were when you went to sleep; however, there are two differences you notice immediately. One, your TV seems to be missing from the wall opposite your bed; and two, the wall to the left of your bed, which normally had just a window that looked out at the neighborhood street, was now entirely covered in some kind of curtain. Instinctively you reach over to your nightstand for your phone, only to find it not there. In its place is what looks like a small blue-tooth earpiece and a remote that reminds you of the one to your TV.

You pick up the remote and press the power button. Immediately, another big hologram appears in the space where your TV used to be and illuminates the dark room with a blue glow. On its ethereal surface you see an absolutely massive sweating blob of what looks like an anthropomorphic crocodile stuffed into a sweat soaked suit surrounded by all manner of food trash. In the corner you see the words 'GLUTCORP CHANNEL 8 NEWS' in big block letters.

"Good morning -huff- citizens of -wheeze- Avari City. -Wheeze- I'm -puff- Brock -huff- Crocman" Every few words was broken up by a labored breath. He's so fat he gets winded just by talking. "Our top story... today... BlimpCola unveils... their new... butter flavored... soda... with 150%... more calories..." You almost worry if the poor guy is about to pass out from how heavy his breathing is. "GigaBurger... unveiled their new... GigaSauce... today and... people can't... get enough..." Some B-roll footage plays in a small window next to the obscenely obese croc of some of the fattest people (and animal people) you've ever seen gorging on massive burgers seeping with this disgusting looking yellow sauce. Some of them even chugging the stuff right from the dispenser, but you don't let that distract you from the arms of some stage hand coming in from out of frame with a giant plastic soda bottle with the words 'OXY-POP' written on the label in big bubble letters. The disembodied hands unscrew the cap, jam it into the crocodile's fat mouth, and **** his maw upwards, holding it there while all the fizzy liquid drains directly down his throat. Once the bottle is empty the hands pull the bottle out and exit the frame. Brock looks sick for a second before erupting with a loud "BBBBBBBBUUUUUUUUUURRRRUUUURRPPP" on air. He pants for a second before continuing on with the morning report "Finally, -BWUUOORPP- An accident at the CalGel Nutrient Jelly plant has resulted in quasi-sentient blobs of ultra condensed nutrient jelly -OOUUURRP- which are on the loose." He was speaking a lot easier after the 'Oxy-pop' was **** down his throat, though he was still burping quite a lot. "GlutCorp Industries advises that all citizens near the industrial district use caution -BRRRUUAARRPP- and not to get near any escaped blobs. They also assure everyone that CalGel is still safe to eat and -UUURRRPPP- a fun alternative to real food, best enjoyed with an ice cold BlimpCola -BWWUOORRPP-. This has been GlutCorp Channel 8 News. When we return, we'll give you a -UURRPP- look at GlutCorps up and coming new products. I'm Brock Crocman, have a -OOUURPPP- swell day." The outro music rises as the pair of hands returns from off screen with another giant bottle of soda and stuffs it into his mouth before the show cuts to commercial for AdiPlus+'s new weight gain pill.

What on Earth is going on? You have no idea how to process any of this. You turn your gaze back to the remote still in your hand. It's mostly the same but there's a bunch of new buttons on it with strange pictures on them. You see one that looks like a pair of curtains and press it curiously. Suddenly, the curtain that covers the wall beside you starts to open, exposing that the wall is not a wall but a giant window. A window which overlooks a bustling cyberpunk city. Hovercars zoom about a hundred feet in the air. Every building is plastered with holographic signs advertising every product under the sun, mostly ludicrously unhealthy looking foods and drinks, weight gain pills, species change procedures, mobility aides, and even brothels and sex toys. The sky is completely dark despite the fact it's supposed to be 7 in the morning, most likely from all the black smog spewing forth from all the chimneys in the sprawling expanse of factories just a few blocks away from you. You can't get a good look from way up here but any other person you see looks beyond morbidly obese, and over half of them are some kind of anthropomorphic animal.

Your head spins so much from all of this you don't even notice you yourself have blown up as well. You can't say for sure but you'd have to guess you're somewhere between 500-600 pounds. ♫Blip blip, blip blip♫ The little earpiece that replaced your phone blinks with a blue light and blips for your attention. You cautiously pick it up and intuitively put it over your ear, it's strange, somehow you just seem to understand how all this technology works. You tap the center of the device and suddenly a holographic interface appears before your face. There's what appear to be a bunch of apps on it, you guess this must be this reality's version of a smartphone. "Good morning, ______, you have [1] Unread message." says a robotic voice in your ear.

"Who said that?" You ask without thinking. Suddenly a little window with a waveform opens up

"I am C.H.U.B.S., Computer Helper and Utility Bot System. You're AI assistant to living life to the fullest."

"Oh..." You don't know what to say

"Would you like to read your [1] unread message?"
