Micro Transactions
You check your phone and it seems that your favorite gaming content creator uploaded a new video, but before you get to see it, how about some sponsors?
This idea went better in my head, but it was fun to write (even if not so much to research). Format is supposed to emulate an audio description.
"Hey there, spot gang, it's me, Enzo, and welcome back to another episode of Gatchamon Chartreuse."
An ocelot with a short goatee is waving at the camera using both arms while sporting an open-maw smile. It's a medium close-up, so you can only see him from his chest up, but he's sitting on an angular chair. The ocelot is wearing a see-through black tank top and a headset with triangles right above the speakers, given the appearance that he has robotic ears instead of having them covered by the headset. His body takes a lot of the screen, but you can still notice a fridge full of soda behind him along with a shelf full of Gatchamon plushies.
The scene then changes to what seems like a stream VOD, most of the screen filled with the gameplay of a pixelated game where a young man is facing off against an outlandishly dressed old man. Near the top right corner is a small camera view of the Ocelot, completely focused on the game.
"In the last episode, we finally defeated the evil Team Rift, and today we're going to try to beat the game! But before we jump right into the video, I'd like to give a huge thanks to Illumicro for sponsoring this video."
The scene transitions again, this time to a medium close-up of the ocelot. He's now cleanshaven and wearing a loose red t-shirt with a print saying "Top Dawg", but the angle of the camera cuts the "Dawg" part out.
"So, if you don't know what Illumicro is, Illumicro's a micro delivery service. 'But Enzo,' you might say, 'micros break very easily. Why would I want them handling my deliveries?' and this, my friends, is where you're wrong. It's not a delivery service run by micros, it's a service that delivers micros."
A close-up of someone's paws as they walk in a white room, followed by a shot of two people talking as a huge black figure approaches them from behind. The paws seem to be feline, but the color and pattern schemes make it very clear that they're not the ocelot's.
"And I know what you're thinking, why would you want to hire Illumicro when you can just go outside and pick any random micro you find in the streets? Well, this is how it works.
"When you first sign up with Illumicro, you fill a small survey regarding the type of micros you're looking for. Sturdy, thick, submissive, etc., and then a team of experts analyses your inputs sends you handpicked micros that fit your needs."
A deer is shown sitting on a table. A lion is next to her and hands her several pieces of the paper. The camera then changes to an over-the -shoulder view of the deer and you can see several profiles with pictures of men.
"You select one among their options and in less than a week, the micro you choose will be there right at the step of your door. Moreover, with Illumicro you can schedule these deliveries as often as you want. So, whenever you see that a micro is about to break, or you get bored with it, you can already have one scheduled for the day when it finally happens."
Another close-up of a paw, this time definitely an ursine's, with mouse struggling with all his strength to keep the paw off him. He's sweating, but at last his arms give up and the paw ends up completely covering his body. The paw contours itself so well to the mouse's body that you would not be able to notice that anyone was underneath it.
"However, if you don't like the experts' selection for that month, or week, or whatever, you can choose to skip it or cancel at any time. Also, when you sign for Illumicro, you get a link that you can share with your family and friends, and when they use it, you get credits which you can use to get more micros for free!"
Scene changes again, this time to someone walking around carrying a huge cardboard box. This time, because of the arms of the person carrying it, you can tell it is the ocelot. Or at least an ocelot.
"Personally, I like to have as many micros, and of as many different species as I can, because they all have their purposes. For example, fluffy micros are great whenever you need to groom yourself or clean or around the house."
A medium shot of the ocelot, who's naked this time. He's facing towards the running shower, a micro Shih Tzu on his hands. We then get a close-up of the micro as it gets coated by a blue slime shortly before being pressed against the ocelot's armpit. Foamy bubbles start to cover the micro as it gets rubbed all over the area.
"Though, scalies can also be useful for those rough or hard to reach places."
A close-up of the ocelot's paw. The focus seems to be on it, giving a crisp view of the pads and toes, but you can still see a gator tied to a plastic stick, its face and chest facing away from it. The stick is being used to clean in between the ocelot's toes, but he shortly after inclines it so that it can reach his pads. Particles of dead cells continue to fall as the gator keeps on scraping.
"And some species are able to hold their breathe for hours or even days, which can lead to some very interesting uses."
A close-up of the ocelot's butt, a turtle halfway in his asshole. The turtle is using both of its arms to try to break free, but the ocelot's thumb soon comes and pushes the turtles head inside its shell, and soon after it disappears inside, the hole neatly closing behind it.
"However, don't think that Illumicro focuses exclusively on tools and toys, they also have micros available for consumption. Whether you're looking for pescatarian, fitness, or whatever meals, Illumicro has an option for you and makes it easy to stick with your food goals, and it's 72% cheaper than going out and dining in a restaurant."
A close-up of a piece of sushi right in front of the ocelot's face. The focus is completely on the sushi, which is a bed of rice on top which lies a shark, a leopard shark from the looks of it. While its legs are free, its stomach and arms are tied using a strip of seaweed.
As the sushi and the camera backwards, you can see the blurry maw of the ocelot open more and more.
"For example, I'm a pescatarian and this afternoon I was able to make this delicious nigiri sushi. I've really been craving a good sushi dish, but I never knew how to make them myself. I'm not the best cook myself, but with Illumicro they make it so easy. They send you step-by-step instructions, which makes cooking a lot more fun and stress free, plus most of their meals are done in 30 minutes or less, meaning you spent less time in the kitchen and more time enjoying your meal."
The ocelot is reclining against his chair surrounded by multiple micros. He's patting his stomach while most of the micros work on cleaning up the table. However, one tan-and-gray bird stands on the ocelot's face and leans down to start to clean his teeth.
"Also, you're eating more sustainably as Illumicro sends you pre-portioned ingredients of exactly what you need, reducing your food waste by 40% compared to just getting regular groceries and, as we all know, micros are the future of food."
The avian loses its grip and falls in the ocelot's maw and he swallows without even giving it a second thought.
"Illumicro has been in the business for 15 years and 10% of their profits go to micro housing and employment, ensuring that even those that do not sign up to this service have decent living standards."
Several images flash quickly through the video. A micro talking with a Macro dressed in a business suit. A micro using a mini lawnmower to trim a Macro's beard. A Macro taking out a pocket watch out which has a micro inside serving as the hands. A micro filing a Macro's toe claws...
"They also have 24/7 customer service, 90 day no-hassle returns, and discreet packaging, so you don't have to be embarrassed of your neighbors or coworkers seeing that you got a new package."
The scene transitions back to the same place as when the ad started. The ocelot is looking at the camera with a friendly expression.
"If you're looking for toys for you and your partner, or even just something for yourself, Illumicro is the perfect place to go.
