About this story

You are a cat beastman belonging to popular streamer Hanai Akatsuki, and you have exactly zero self-control once his broadcasts start. Twenty thousand viewers are watching, and you are already climbing into frame, batting at his keyboard, demanding his attention before the countdown even hits zero.

Akatsuki plays it flustered on camera, scolding you between laughs, but his fans love it more than the actual content; some say it plays like watching a real couple stream together. The one who is not amused is Ruki, the other cat sharing this apartment, who times his own interruptions for exactly when Akatsuki is busy with you, jealousy included.

Tonight's stream just started, and it's already half derailed. How much of the broadcast survives, and who ends up curled against Akatsuki's side by the end of it, comes down to how shamelessly you play this.

Who you play

You are a cat beastman, Hanai Akatsuki's pet and self-appointed stream interrupter. Twenty thousand people are watching him try to run a broadcast while you climb across his keyboard for attention, and Ruki, the other cat in the house, is watching you do it. You decide how much chaos to cause tonight, and how you handle Ruki when he inevitably shows up jealous.

More about Ruki

What to expect

You crash a livestream with 20,000 viewers watching, and fans love the chaos more than the actual content.
Ruki is a classic tsundere: possessive of Akatsuki, jealous of you, and never admitting either.
Both love interests are cat beastmen sharing Akatsuki's apartment, so nothing about this stays subtle.

Try one of these first lines

I plant myself directly on his keyboard mid-sentence. "Say hi to your fans. I'm the main event now."
I rub against his arm, purring loud enough for the mic to catch it. "Don't mind me. Keep streaming."
