Number 3 of the Clickbait Eevees collaboration series between myself, who wrote the story and  Playfingers who did the art.

This time around, :iocnForNorami: is going to be advertising. It is not going well.

*****

Norami wandered through the Downtown Chicago area, walking off the rather tasty Deep Dish Pizza he had for lunch. He was in the area for a little vacation, visiting friends and seeing the sights. After all, there weren't many places you could visit that had a giant metallic bean! The weather would start to become overly chilly despite his double layer of clothes as the wind started to pick up midway through the day. It wasn't called the Windy City for nothing! As such, Norami found himself in one of the shopping centers in the town, wandering around as he warmed up.

There were a lot of different vendors and shops in the center, from candy shops to high end clothing stores to discount shoes and even a comic book shop. What would ultimately catch his eyes would be a rather simple looking booth that had various Eevee girls in various outfits and poses. From a Vaporeon in a bikini to a Jolteon in a a flowing sequin dress to name a few. Written out would be the words "Clickbait Eevees," with an Espeon woman and Sylveon woman talking to each other inside.

"So then I told Jolteon you can't just copy me and get views. I get views because people love me! I am the greatest of all of us!" Espeon spoke matter of factly.

"But Jolteon's last video was a hit! People really loved her yoga tips." Sylveon said back.

"They just like it for her butt we all know it." Espeon shook her head. "And her's is only like, top five at best!"

"Let me guess, you think you have the best butt?"

"No! I have the third best! Everyone knows I'm a boob gal! In which case I'm number one in the Clickbait Eevees!"

"But who has the best butts? I better be on that list!"

"You're number three!" Espeon answered. "Number one has got to be Leafeon, she just never shows it off. Two is Eevee but she always dressed stuffy! Doesn't show off any of her gifts!"

"I know right? Eevee is such an undercover hottie!" Sylveon giggled as Espeon joined in on it right as Norami arrived.

"Hello, was curious what all of this is. Clickbait Eevees? What is that? I've never heard of you guys." he said, hands in his jacket pocket.

"That is an easy question! We're the Clickbait Eevees!" Sylveon said proudly as she threw her arms out.

"Yup! And between us we're the best ones! We always get the best clicks!"

"So you're like a website then?" Norami asked.

"Kindaaa!" Sylveon answered.

"We prefer the term the greatest social influencers of this generation." Espeon added on.

"Ooh, and you can join us! Wouldn't he be good as a Clickbait Eevee?" Sylveon looked over to her partner for approval.

"Oh he totally would!" Espeon nodded her head. "I could see him making waves!"

"I'm flattered, but I'm not really an Eevee. Just a normal dude." Norami said with a chuckle.

"That's not an issue at all! Eevee told us to send any and all that stopped at our booth to her, it's our one job!" Espeon said.

"Yeah! And it's the most important job of all. That's why she sent her best Eevees here to recruit! Because we're people persons!"

"The best people persons!" Espeon reaffirmed.

"Okay, but where is Eevee exactly?" Norami asked, looking around. "I don't see her anywhere."

"Oh, she's not here!" Sylveon smiled.

"If she's not here then where is she?" Norami rose an eyebrow.

"Sylveon." Espeon whispered to her partner.

"Yeah Espeon?"

"I can't remember where Eevee said to send the recruits."

"Oh thank goodness! I couldn't remember either! That makes me feel a lot better!"

"Eevee can never give us easy to follow instructions! She always has to complicate things." Espeon shook her head.

"Right? It's always so "do this and do that but don't do that and remember this!" Sylveon rolled her eyes. "There's just no winning with her!"

"We'd make such better bosses! She should just put us in charge!" Espeon said. "We're the two best Eevees anyways! Everyone knows it goes Espeon, Sylveon, then the rest! We know what the people like!"

"I don't mean to interrupt but uh...what's going on?"

"Oh we do this all the time when we can't remember where Eevee is!" Sylveon responded.

"But if you see her then don't tell her we said that. It's our little secret." Espeon winked.

"Alright, guess I'm going to go then. I'll look you up online though!" Norami gave a smile.

"Ooh, if you go into the suburbs you should check out Drink!" Sylveon suggested. "I don't know where I heard it but I remember hearing that we should recommend it to everyone!"

"I remember that too!" Espeon agreed. "I have no idea why, but you should check it out!"

"Tell us how it is! I don't know when Eevee is going to come tell us when our shift is done and I wanna know what's so great about it!" Sylveon said.

"Alright, if I'm back here tomorrow I'll let you know. It does sound like it could be a cool place to check out." Norami nodded. "Til then!" he gave a wave and smile as he walked off.

"Are you thinking what I'm thinking?" Espeon turned to Sylveon.

"We should totally do a Clickbait Eevee spinoff where we call the shots! And Eevee has to do what we say!"

"Boss reversal! That'd be so fun! We'd get so many clicks there's no way Eevee can say no!"

*****

Norami had followed Espeon and Sylveon's advice, and found his way into the Chicago suburbs, where he would get dropped off a few blocks away from Drink. It was a brisk walk to the venue, however there was a shockingly long line to get in much to his dismay. Norami was going to just turn and find somewhere else to spend his evening, however that changed when he noticed a brown furred woman near the front of. Upon closer inspection he noticed that it was an Eevee woman, and that might of been Eevee that Espeon and Sylveon had mentioned!

He walked over, making sure to not make eye contact with the people in the line as a way to show he wasn't cutting in it and walked with a purpose. Upon reaching Eevee, he turned to talk to her.

"Excuse me, are you by chance with the Clickbait Eevees?" Norami questioned hopefully.

"The very same." Eevee smirked, turning and looking Norami up and down. "Who's asking?"

"My name's Norami. I was at this booth with an Espeon and Sylveon? I don't know their names though."

"That's their names. Espeon and Sylveon." Eevee said back. "They're very one dimensional."

"Okay then." Norami chuckled and blinked a few times. "But yeah, they told me to talk to you about joining the Clickbait Eevees? It sounds cool but I don't entirely know what it is you do, also aren't you all Eevees? Would a human even fit into that equation?"

"Oh don't worry about that!" Eevee said with a wave of her hand. "We let anyone join us! And this time we're recruiting! You see, we have a lot of contracts with various companies to advertise for them, so we're stationing various Eevees to help draw in a crowd!"

"So you want me to help you advertise?" Norami questioned.

"Precisely! That's the brightness I need out of more of my Eevees! I swear I'm surrounded by nothing but idiots most of the time! You're hired!"

"I...am?" Norami was only more confused. "But I didn't even apply!"

"Doesn't matter! I know a good Eevee when I see one!" Eevee said back. "And you have got it!"

"So Clickbait Eevees is just a face? You have non-Eevees work for you?"

"Oh no, we have a brand image to keep." Eevee shook her head. "We are the Clickbait Eevees after all, we need make sure everyone is an Eevee in one way or another!"

"I'm...confused." Norami tilted his head. "Then how am I hired if I'm not an Eevee?"

"Let's consider it a trial run!" Eevee said back, reaching into her purse and pulling out a beanie not too unlike the one Norami already had on, with the exception being its color scheme of which was a checkered pattern dark and light blue in color as opposed to red and black. "Go ahead and put it on!"

"Well, it is a nice color..." Norami accepted it and looked down and examined it. "Alright, I'll play along." he gave a soft chuckle before taking off his beanie, replacing it with the one Eevee had gave him. "Now what?"

"Well first we need to get you into uniform!" Eevee said back. "And of course tell you what you're advertising. Drink! A nice nightclub where you'll be a bouncer for today! So everyone going in is going to see you so you can really reach an audience! Schaumburg kids have a lot of money, so make sure to try and get a good amount of suggested donations for them, that's why they hired us after all!"

"That seems easy enough..." Norami went along with it. "So what's the uniform?"

"First you're going to be an Eevee! Drink, it's got to have an icy feel, so I'm thinking a Glaceon! Your outfit will turn into your uniform on its own, don't worry about that."

"What?" Norami questioned, letting out a "meep" upon hearing a high pitched voice coming out from out from his mouth, his hands going up to his throat. "What's wrong with my voice!?"

"Girls tend to get the suggested donations out of people better. It's just business! Our job is to get the most money possible after all!"

Norami's confusion would only be amplified as his clothes began to shift around. His hoodie would vanish entirely, leaving only his black tee behind. Across the chest, white text, all of which was lowercase spread across it that spelled out "drink" formed. His shirt would then shrink upward, revealing his stomach and stopping at his chest, with the collar of it doing the same as it dipped down greatly. The bottom of it would become tied in a knot. Meanwhile, Norami's pants would start to tear in various parts of his body, though remained jeans if not a bit tighter around his waist.

With Norami's outfit completely changed, his body would be the next to transform. His skin would start to grow fur over it, of which was a light blue color that covered so much of his body that his skin was impossible to see through it. The fur started to spread at his chest, growing outward as it surrounded his body rather quickly.

As the fur traveled up over his throat, his adam's apple would shrink inside of it to leave his voice as a much higher pitch. Once it came to the face, Norami's face would push outward into a rather large muzzle, with his nose moving out to be at the tip. Once fully grown in, his nose would darken in color, turning a dark blue to contrast with his light blue fur. Over Norami's eyelids, light blue eyeshadow would find itself magically applying that was only a few shades lighter than his ever growing fur coat. His eyebrows would still be visible, becoming much thinner while his eyelashes multiplied and became more pronounced. The whites of Norami's eyes took a shift to a dark blue color, with the brown turning into white.

At the top of his head, he would gain more than a few drastic changes. Norami's ears would lengthen out, growing from holes that were in the beanie that he wasn't even aware of originally. They were significantly larger than they once were, taking on a diamond shape as fur grew over them and on the insides of them, of which were also diamond in shape became a dark blue color. His long, curly brown hair would lengthen even further, growing down past his shoulders. Not only that, the color would lighten into a slightly darker shade of blue compared to his new fur. On the frontside of Norami's hair, it would form into two almost ribbon like appendages that ended in triangular points made out of dark blue fur. The lighter blue would take over the rest of his hair, while underneath the beanie blade-like appendages would find their way forming out of the hair there.

While his head transformed, so would his torso. His shoulders narrowed out and lost a lot of their broadness, no longer pronounced underneath the fur. Norami's arms would continue on this trend, becoming much more slender underneath all the fur. This extended to his hands, which would shrink in size as they took on a more dainty appearance, his fingers elongating and thinning out.

As fur spread across more of his torso, his figure would contort greatly. The sides of his body pushed inward at his stomach, while expanding outward at the waist. Similarly, Norami's back would push inward to give it an arched look and to amplify his backside even more to sell his curvy figure home.

The biggest change to Norami's upper body would form at the chest. Two mounds started to slowly build up, pushing the shirt out into a bump as a pair of breasts formed underneath it, the tie of the shirt cupping them and doubling as a bra. Due to the nature of his shirt, Norami's cleavage was very apparent while his midriff was out in full force. On Norami's backside, a diamond, dark blue pattern would form right in the center.

With Norami's entire body fully transformed above the waist, below the waist would shift underneath the light blue fur that grew over most of it, fur showing through the tears of his pants. The only exception would be his feet, of which would grow dark blue fur overneath them. Afterwards, Norami's feet would shrink in size, two digits of toes merging together to leave simple three digited paws behind. His legs themselves would start shifting around in their proportions, namely at the thighs and calves of which became larger and wider. This would lead to Norami's legs taking on a curvy, shapely tone.

The last bit of changes would occur closer to the waist, where his hips would push outward a fair bit, continuing the wider part of his figure to fully complete his new hourglass figure as his hips formed into childbearing proportions. On Norami's backside, at the base of his spine a new appendage would form and grow out. It was rather flat, and was mostly light blue in color like the shade of the rest of his fur, with the end of it forming into a diamond shape with a dark blue fur color at the tip. His rear itself would grow larger, becoming wider and pushing out a bit to become more pert and noticeable. Lastly, Norami's manhood would recede into his body, transforming into the inner workings of the opposite sex and leaving nothing but a flat surface and opening behind. Norami had finished the transformation into a Glaceon woman.

"There we go! You look just like you belong!"

"What the hell!?" Norami blushed harshly, looking his body up and down. "H-how did you even do this!?"

"The Clickbait Eevees have a lot of resources to get new Eevees." Eevee answered simply. "And like I said we have a brand image to keep! Don't worry, this assignment won't be too long so you can get more comfortable clothes later, I'm sure Espeon and Sylveon would love taking you out shopping, heaven knows they don't stop bugging me about it."

"But I don't want to go shopping! I didn't even want this!" Norami said back. "How long is this going to last? This whole body feels so weird!"

"Until the contract is up!" Eevee responded casually. "It won't be that hard, what's so hard about getting suggested donations from people. It's only $20! Besides, the outfit makes you look tough! No one is going to mess with you!"

"You messed with me!"

"Yes but I know you, you're my employee!" Eevee said back. "If I didn't know better I wouldn't mess with you! And none of the Schaumburg kids will I'll tell you that!"

"But-"

"No buts!" Eevee held a finger up to Norami's muzzle. "You have a job to do! Drink is about to start letting people in and it needs its bouncer! Now go one then!" Eevee pushed him to the front of the line, Norami too flustered to try and do otherwise. "So, let people in as you deem fit! And make sure to get those suggest donations! The more you get the more drink sees our advertising works and the sooner we can get new contracts!"

"But I don't even know how to bounce!" Norami made one final effort to break through to Eevee.

"You'll figure something out I'm sure, enjoy the shift~!" Eevee waved Norami off, leaving the Glaceon alone.

"Okay Norami, you can do this. You just got turned into a Glaceon girl and now working a job you didn't apply for." Norami sighed. "This day can't get any weirder."

There weren't too many issues with too many of the patrons, and they gave the suggested donations no problem. However, there were a few that were checking out Norami's body which was met with a "My eyes are up here!" Norami didn't even like looking at them so strangers weren't going to be doing that on their watch!

Two human dudes walked up, being the most problematic of the bunch, and after already catching them looking at Norami's chest, Norami's patience was already thin.

"$20 to walk in, that's crazy! If you let us in maybe we can meet up after." one of the guys said.

"Yeah, we can really help relief the stress of the shift." the other chimed in as the two laughed.

"Read the sign asshole!" Norami shouted angrily while pointing to it. "It says SUGGESTED DONATION, NOT MANDATORY! Just for that, $15 for cover charge! I know you got the money, Schaumburg kids! That's literally the only thing Eevee told me about this gig!"

The two would end up leaving entirely, Norami letting out a huff. This whole experience was hard to believe, but until the shift ended Norami would be stuck like this. Norami didn't want to just abandon the post despite everything. Stupid pride! Eevee would be getting a stern talking to about pay when this was all said and done!

"Oh man, this pizza is SOOO good!" Sylveon giggled as she ate at the Deep Dish.

"I told you! It's the best pizza you could ask for!" Espeon joined in. "That's because all you have is California Pizza Kitchen, that just is NOT pizza!"

"I don't know if any other pizza will ever compare to this! It's the bestest pizza ever!"
