D4ddyKev is not a daddy, gets offended if anybody suggests otherwise, and has spent enough money on boots and feet that I could probably send him a tax receipt.

Morningstar_X pays to be ignored.

Angelbite likes being laughed at.

And then there’s VOIDKING88, who has been around for almost three years and somehow managed to stay normal enough that I haven’t blocked him.

That alone makes him a little suspicious.

The countdown starts.

I toss the vape onto the desk, climb onto the bed, and settle into position with one knee bent and the other leg stretched across the mattress. The main camera preview opens, and the change happens automatically.

My shoulders relax. My chin lowers slightly. My mouth curves.

VioletHex.

The timer hits zero.

I click GO LIVE.

A notification pops up.

VOIDKING88 tipped 100 credits.

VOIDKING88: Coffee tomorrow. You looked tired Thursday.

I smile before I can stop myself and type back.

Stop being nice. You’re making everyone else look bad.

His reply comes almost immediately.

VOIDKING88: They do that themselves.

Chat starts moving immediately.

graveyardVIP: FINALLY

angelbite: fuckkkkk

D4ddyKev: boots. thank you.

MORNINGSTAR_X: late

pinksinclub: THE HAIR

VOIDKING88: Evening, trouble.

kneel4hex: ruin me pls

I lean toward the camera.

“Hi, losers.”

Hearts fill the side of the screen.

A tip comes through before I’ve even finished settling in.
