"Tadaaaa, this is the place where Mommy works!"
A voice full of enthusiasm echoed throughout the office building. It was in complete contrast to the slightly drab, strictly business atmosphere of the place. Despite this, the woman who'd just spoken looked on with glittering eyes at the two young men whose indifferent and unenthusiastic expressions suited the atmosphere well in comparison.
Daymon and Nate glanced at each other's identical faces, and that was enough to convey their exasperation at the whole situation. They then turned to look at their mother, or rather step mother. There was no way the pure-blooded human twins could be blood related to the anthropomorphic sheep woman sporting soft, white wool all over her body that was packed into her neat and trim business suit.
It had been a good few years now since the World Splicing incident that caused Earth to become co-inhabited by all kinds of fantasy-like creatures and anthropomorphic beasts and monsters. Despite the sudden and drastic change, the world had adapted surprisingly quickly and today, these anthromorphs, as the netizens often called them, now managed to blend in well with modern society as the state of their original world wasn't that different from Earth.
This was also helped by the fact that humans these days had many peculiar tastes and inclinations developed through years of online exposure. As a matter of fact, the entire reason that the boys' parents split up in the first place was so that they could each fulfil their own deepest desires. Their mother had run off with a pony anthro for reasons that could be easily imagined while their father, whom they currently lived with, hooked up with the sheep lady before them at the soonest opportunity. Now their furry freak of a dad devoted his everything to the sheep woman and the two were expected to go along with most of her whims.
And that brings us to today. The boys had recently turned eighteen and under the urging of their woolly stepmom, they were requisitioned into acquiring jobs at the company she worked for. Their horn dog dad obviously sided with her and they were brought here today to complete the application process.
"So, what do you guys think?"
The sheep woman, Maria, asked the boys after noticing their lukewarm reactions.
"Well, it's a pretty unique place I guess?"
"Yeah, there's certainly a lot of...diversity."
As mentioned before, the presence of anthromorphs was pretty commonplace in today's society, however this was the first time the two were witnessing such a scene.
Every employee in the building, literally every single one, was some type of anthromorph. There was indeed a great amount of diversity as Daymon stated, in their species that is. Cats, dogs, horses, goats, hippos, rhinos, there were anthros of all shapes and sizes. Not only that, from what they could tell, they all appeared to be female!
Daymon and Nate had to doubt whether or not they were in the right place. They had no idea what the purpose of the company even was but they still felt completely out of place as two young human men in a workplace made up solely of anthropomorphic beast women! Before they could express their doubts though, they were quickly ushered away by their stepmom who seemed really excited for some reason.
"Come on, Miss Mayweather is already waiting for us in here office!"
Like that, the two were dragged along toward the largest office in the building. Along the way, they couldn't help but feel like they were being curiously leered at by the employees along the way. They simply tried to brush it of as the women being curious about their identities as humans. Hopefully that was all it was.

"I already finished looking through you guys' applications, I think you both show a lot of promise. As a matter of fact, I'm hoping you two can start today, that is, if you're satisfied with the terms of the contract."
Daymond and Nate were sat side by side before a large mahogany desk, opposite of which was a large statured horse anthro, the company's CEO.
"So, we just have to sign these?"
On the desk lay two hard copy contracts, one for each of them to sign. The two had never had a job before, yet they found this process that developed so quickly and easily to be a little strange.
"You guys can go ahead and sign, I've already read through the contract and everything checks out."
Standing behind them, their stepmother encouraged them as if to hurry along the process even further.
The two looked at each other in slight doubt but in the end, they eventually picked up the antique-looking quill pens and signed their names unto the contracts at the same time. They obviously didn't notice the little wink their stepmom sent Miss Mayweather over their backs as they did so.
The boys finished signing their names and set the pens down before leaning back.
"So, what do we-"
Before Nate could fish, bright golden light started emanating off the pages they had just signed. The two were the only ones startled as the pages began rolling themselves up from the bottom all the way to the top before suddenly igniting in golden flames and disappearing without a trace or even a smidgen of soot. At the same time, the boys each felt a tingling sensation climb all the way up their bodies from the toes to the tips of their ears.
"Alright! Now that that's finally out of the way, let's get you two settled into your new positions as soon as possible!"
As soon as Miss Mayweather said this, the door of the office was opened and in stepped a Rottweiler anthro woman. She greeted the CEO and without wasting anymore time, walked right up to Daymon and spoke as if everything was prearranged.
"Come with me sir, I'll show you to your station."
"Uhm, okay..."
Nate was quickly ushered away by the woman leaving just Daymon and his stepmom in the office with CEO Mayweather.
"You're splitting us up?"
Daymon was slightly disappointed at the thought of not being able to work together with his brother at their first proper job.
"Of course, didn't you read the contract? Oh wait, I guess you didn't. Well, no matter, you guys will have to work separately as you both have different roles to play, roles that are essential to this organisation."
