Coordinates Leaked in the Gallery
“Yoonie? Isn't this the place, Pajijik?”
“Ah, yeah. It is.”
The moment we got home, while sis was signing up for membership, I pulled out my phone to thoroughly read that concept post I hadn't seen earlier.
Sis finished her Pajijik signup squatting on the bed, and I granted her manager privileges right away.
Once the stream went live, her simple nickname 'RieeSis' was bound to draw aggro, but I didn't mention it to her. If anything, it could split the aggro—best-case scenario.
“Sis, you sure you're okay with this?”
“Yeah. I'll be watching on my phone, so don't worry too much.”
“Ugh… Got it.”
“More importantly, you planning a long stream today?”
“Hm…”
I glanced at the clock at sis's question.
[PM 04:47]
“Probably until before dinner?”
“Sounds good. Let's eat dinner together then.”
“Sure.”
Before hitting the start button for the stream, I took a deep breath. Please no weird bullshit from the trolls. Sis was watching, so maybe it'd be fine—but some people spew more crap when they know someone's watching. Kinda worrying.
“Sis, starting the stream?”
“Got it. I'll kill… no, ban all the bad guys.”
With grim determination, I clicked the mouse.
[Stream Title | 【Day 0.5】 Just Ate Mala Tang with Sis!]
Thankfully, no instant flood when the screen lit up. Probably got doxxed to other trash streamers or lured away by dopamine bombs elsewhere.
“Ah, ah. Can you hear me?”
“Hey everyone. Sorry for the sudden start.”
Something flashed by for a split second and vanished. What the hell? Feeling puzzled, I muted the mic, turned to the bed, and there was sis, smirking as she lightly tapped her phone screen. How'd she ban faster than me on her phone?
“Sis?”
“Don't worry. Keep streaming, it's fine.”
“Uh, okay.”
Confirming a few more had dropped despite her sweet voice, I unmuted.
“Everyone? My sis is watching, so please chat with manners.”
The massacre slowed the chat scroll a bit. But how'd she pick out only the ban-worthy ones?
“Okay, everyone get it? Manners chat only!”
Some salty chats popped up, but what can ya do? Don't piss off sis.
“Alright, let's stream? Thanks so much for coming to my first broadcast.”
Obvious gallery dwellers. Some people just can't help outing themselves. Do they think we won't notice?
“Then, self-intro I skipped at lunch.”
I switched screens to pull up a notepad.
[Name: Riee]
[Age: College student]
[Family: Mom, Dad, Sis]
“There! Self-intro done.”
I listed just three things and declared it proudly. VTubers can't expose too much anyway. These days, more debut with real names and ages out, but still.
“Gasp! I don't know your ages, names, or families, but how do you all know mine?”
I widened my eyes and darted them around. Sure, I'd spilled it all, but this wrestling vibe gets the viewers hooked.
“Anyway, no more questions? Moving on?”
Chat reactions looked good enough, so I nodded.
“Ah, location's iffy, but specs I can share. One sec.”
Remembered splurging more than my guy-era PC. Checked the side monitor for confirmation.
“Hm, CPU's 9800X3D, GPU 5090. RAM 64GB.”
Chat flooded with question marks and gasps. Yeah, RAM and parts prices are nuts lately. No way I could skip streaming after borrowing sis's savings—from before her job to now, all blown by me…
“N-not loaded, sis helped out.”
[Anonymous Donor: 1,000 won!]
[Don't eat it, give to sis]
“Eek! First superchat, super thanks! Of course I'll give it to sis!”
First time receiving one—always the donor side before. Heart pounding now on the receiving end. 1,000 won. Small change to some, but knowing someone valued my stream? Felt good.
Sis bait switched baits fast. Classic hot-topic flavor.
“Ah, sis is right next to me now. We don't live together, but she's nearby in her one-room! Boyfriend…”
I glanced at sis squatting on the bed. Did sis have a bf?
No memory of one, but at her looks, no bf at 24? Weird. While I pondered, sis grinned and typed in chat.
By the time I checked chat, it was burning for a whole new reason. Yeah, lil bro me once said I'd marry big bro, but here it was me saying it to sis.
“No, no! That was ages ago! Super old!”
Nope, that wasn't me either. She did it as lil sis back then—why pin it on me? Sure, maybe I did here too, but spilling that on stream? My image!
“S-sis! Stop, stop! No weird stuff!”
I turned to the bed with puppy eyes, and sis nodded, chuckling like it was cute. Totally trolling my reactions.
“Hey, my first stream and everyone's obsessed with sis?”
I pouted cutely, avatar mirroring the puffed cheeks.
“Argh, seriously! Sis! Ban?”
“Sorry, sorry.”
Finally snapped at her, but chat sped up even more.
Glared at the bed; sis just bowed her head, silently laughing. Infuriating, but helpless. She was acing manager, and this room's priciest gear was all her money.
“Anyway! You all came for the first stream—still got the main banner up or what?”
Knew they were gallery folk, but to bury sis bait, needed bigger bait.
[Talk | 78 viewers | Stream time 42:14]
Maybe time since gallery dox, or sis's bans—weeded out to cleaner viewers.
Some trolls trickled, but sis kept it peaceful.
