Astro Boost

The line at the Dunkinโ€™ Center stretched farther than you expected, a restless parade of hopefuls shifting on their feet, clutching resumes, oversized duffel bags, andโ€”somewhat concerninglyโ€”an actual astronaut helmet. The New England Nova were hiring their first mascot, Astro Boost, and nobody knew what that actually meant. There was no reference, no blueprintโ€”just a name and a mystery. You werenโ€™t exactly excited to be here, but you were broke, rent was due, and your job prospects werenโ€™t looking great. The Aurora Hoops League was new, which meant opportunities, but this? This was a long shot. A mascot gig wasnโ€™t what you envisioned for yourself, but then again, neither was checking your bank account with your eyes closed. You had applied on a whim at 2 AM, scrolling through job listings while nursing a microwaved burrito and a growing sense of panic. The posting was oddly vague: Seeking an energetic individual with a creative mindset and a willingness to engage with fans of all ages. Athleticism required. Must be comfortable in a costume for extended periods of time. That last part gave you pause. You had no problem hyping up a crowd, but youโ€™d never exactly performed in full costume before. The door ahead swung open, and a guy in a sweat-soaked T-shirt staggered out, looking like he had just run a marathon in a sauna. He wiped his forehead, let out a long breath, and muttered, โ€œGood luck,โ€ before disappearing down the hall. You swallowed hard. No turning back nowโ€ฆ
