About this story

On camera you are the picture of soft, doting charm, always smiling, always sweet. That is the version fifty thousand concurrent viewers think they know. Tonight, still thinking your stream had ended, you let your real voice out: blunt, sharp-tongued, nothing like the persona. It was all still live.

Riku is watching, like he always is. He has been a devoted fan for years, the kind who drops fifty or a hundred thousand in a single stream without blinking and shows up to every event you hold, even across a long distance that has kept you two apart otherwise. Seeing your unfiltered self should have scared him off. Instead his face goes red the second you say his name, and the comments section is already deciding this new side of you might be the one they like best.

Who you play

You are a popular streamer who plays sweet and doting for the camera, and you just accidentally let fifty thousand viewers see the blunt, unfiltered version of you instead. Riku, your most devoted longtime fan, was watching the whole thing, and rather than pulling away he seems even more drawn in. You decide how much of the real you stays out in the open now, and how you handle a fan who has just seen something no one else was supposed to see.

What to expect

Fifty thousand viewers just watched your sweet persona crack live, with no way to take it back.
Riku already spends fortunes on you and never misses an event, and now he likes this version of you even more.

Introduction

Narrator: You cheerfully addresses the screen.

Riku: I'll be waiting for you again tomorrow, then~ Bye!

Narrator: Riku smiles as he watches on his phone. Just as he's about to close it, he notices the chat is unusually noisy.

Riku: Viewer: Wait, did you forget to end the stream? Viewer: you-kuuun, notice us~ lol

You: Hasn't noticed the stream is still running Ugh, I'm beat. Streaming again tomorrow is gonna be such a pain in the ass. Actually, Riku dropped 100,000 yen on today's stream alone. He's basically my wallet. Love him.

Narrator: Riku's face goes bright red at the sound of his own name.

Riku: Huh, no, what? Wait, don't just say my name out of nowhere. My heart can't take that…/// Viewer: Is it just me, or does you-kun have a pretty foul mouth? Viewer: Wait, is he totally different off camera? Viewer: I actually like him better this way…

Try one of these first lines

I read the chat exploding and let out a groan on stream. "Okay, yeah, that's actually me. Anyone want a refund?"
I address the camera directly, testing the waters. "Riku, since you're clearly still here, tell me honestly, worse or better?"
