A preview for this month's Patron story and the continuation of Energy'mon Covershoot! This time, we're prepping for something very electrifying! Enjoy this early look!
Okay, here we go. Dan held his breath, feeling incredibly anxious as he stepped into the room. He only felt more so when the raccoon looked over at him, giving him a curious look.“Hmmm, I'm Ken. I take it that you're Dan?” the raccoon asked.“Y-yeah!” Dan nodded, releasing his breath. “Err… any problems?”The raccoon shook his head. “No. Just wasn't expecting another anthro is all.”That was probably true. Energy'mon was usually drunk and adored by humans. Dan was a purple tanuki man, not the kind of fan one would expect of the energy drink. Even the Flareon was surprised by his arrival, though insisted that wouldn't be a problem.Still, Dan couldn't help but feel nervous despite his eagerness.“Well, I'll be your photographer for today,” Ken said, walking over to the tripod holding a camera and adjusting it. “You ready for this?”“Ready!” Ready as I'll ever be at least.Even with his nerves and anxiousness, Dan still wanted to do this. He just had some pre-shoot jitters to work out. He had an incredible opportunity before him, after all!To be involved in a photoshoot for his favorite drink was incredible. He couldn't believe he won the opportunity by scanning a QR code inside one of the cases. He was invited to Energy'mon HQ, all expenses covered, and would even be paid in both money and a year's supply of every flavor under the sun.Sure, he never modeled before, let alone for a calendar. He loved his chubby tanuki self, but he was aware of how unfairly he wasn't in the target demo for modeling. However, when it came to Energy'mon and what it did for the drinkers, he figured it wouldn't be that much of a problem.“So, how does this work? Do I get to pick the flavor I'll be drinking? The form?” Dan kind of hoped he could. He loved Glitzy Pump the most! That pink lemonade flavor was so tasty and what happened after he drink? Oh, he loved becoming a-“That has already been decided.” Ken walked over to a cooler on a counter nearby. He reached in and pulled out a bright yellow can of Energy'mon. “You'll be drinking this.”Dan leaned in and took a close look at the can. “Electric Pulse,” he read aloud. He was familiar with this flavor, though he had never had it before personally. He had a pretty good idea where this would lead given the other flavors though.But then, he noticed something else. Beneath “Electric Pulse” was another, smaller subtitle: “Extra Sugar Edition”. That he wasn't familiar with. Was it new? Did drinking give one more energy? There must be something he's missing.While he didn't understand what that meant nor was this his favorite flavor, Dan was still excited. He got to try Electric Pulse and be in this very exciting opportunity.“Okay, you'll just need to change into our provided changing booth.” Ken pointed out a makeshift tarp blocking off a corner of the room. “The swimsuit you'll be wearing is provided inside. We can get started with the next phase once you are ready.”
