Day 2 of Streaming (1)
The chat window was furious because I hadn't streamed for a day.
[-You're here!]
[-Why didn't you stream yesterday?]
[-If you're debuting, you gotta stream every single day of the week]
[-lol]
[-Kyeong-ha]
[-Hey, why no stream yesterday?]
I put up a black screen with white text saying Preparing stream and spoke up.
"I had to head out yesterday, so I took a day off. You're making a big fuss over one day off."
[Anyone'd think you streamed for a month straight]
[Are you nuts?]
[That's what a second-day streamer says?]
[lolololol]
"I took the day off specifically for today's stream, so please understand."
[So what's today?]
[King of Fist?]
[King of Fist go?]
[What King of Fist, let's just chat]
"Well, I turned on the stream, but I have no idea what to do."
I really had no clue. I'd dolled up for the aggro factor, but hadn't planned anything beyond that.
"Anyway, Valeta appears."
I switched from the prep screen to cam and struck Valeta's signature standing pose.
"……."
[What’s she doing?]
[Sticking with that concept straight up?]
[lololol]
[Why’s her face turning red?]
[Kinda brave if you think about it...]
[Eldest daughter vibes. Still like that at 23...]
[lolololol]
[But the fit slaps tho]
[Look at those legs.]
Hmm. Yeah. I expected this.
But it was way more embarrassing than I'd thought. My face on cam looked steaming hot...
On my way back from yesterday's outing, I'd grabbed a black suit that felt like something Valeta would wear and threw it on for a real cosplay. The result? Total explosion(?).
"Back view? What's there to see."
I turned around to show my back as requested, then glanced back at chat out of curiosity.
"Do I pull it off pretty well?"
[Her lower body's legendary]
[Whoa, thicc]
[I can't take it]
[How does she get those lines?]
[No filters on this for real?]
[Too hard to chat with one hand...]
[Chat density legendary today lol]
[Is this really a second-day streamer's chat...]
[My one hand's busy...]
"Ah, fuck. You perverts."
I got why they wanted the back view now. Legendary bastards.
[lololol knew it]
[lolololol]
[But no ban?]
[Mod's super chill]
"What, want me to ban a few?"
[Sorry sorry]
[Jail 'em all]
[Let those guys slide and they'll cross lines later—cut 'em now?]
[No shit]
A light threat, and the chats bowed their heads en masse, mixed with calls to purge. Hilarious how they swarmed up.
"Hey, young folks. Act like gentlemen."
Another warning, and they promised to shut up in a flood of messages. Kinda funny.
"Since it's come up, my room'll stay pretty free-for-all usually. But I'll cut anything too far over the line—so figure it out yourselves... Oh, but trash-talk other streamers or weird shit about anyone but me? You're all dead. Not just streamers—no bitching about anyone else. If you're gonna vent, do it at me."
[What's the limit?]
[Set a clear line]
[Dumbasses, no line now and we'll go nuclear lol]
"Wanna vent once right now? They say bad head means body suffers—might be good to learn the hard way. Anyone wanna try venting?"
[Someone sacrifice]
[lolol no balls?]
[But don't you need a chat mod for that?]
[I could never mod—too busy watching to babysit chat]
[Takes real fan dedication]
"Chat mod? Hmm... I'll handle it solo for now, recruit if the retards overwhelm later."
Obvious throwaway account. But don't you need account verification for donations? Well, mine's aaa123, pretty throwaway too.
"Go ahead. I'm saying you gotta learn the hard way if you insist."
[Nick screams throwaway lol]
[Test with throwaway go]
[Not throwaway—Click donations need verification]
[Maybe two phones]
[Oh]
"Out."
[lololol]
[lolol paid ban lol]
[What’s that?]
[What’s it mean?]
[lolololol no words even if banned]
"Dropped 10k hoping for mercy? I'll throw in a perma for you special."
"Oh? 100k? Hmm..."
[Total 111k lol]
[lol what a moron]
[Hesitating over 100k lolol]
This ballsy guy sticks his neck out, I go to chop it, and he bribes with 100k for mercy. Maybe 'cause I used to be a guy, but it didn't really bother me. Still, letting it slide could weird out the room vibe, and since the stream's fresh, better nip this stuff early.
But flipping it, since it's new, turning it into content for laughs could freshen the vibe and make it look fun to outsiders. Even if someone flames, hanging 'em playfully clears the air quick.
How'd I learn this fresh off debut? Thanks to binging Seung-yoon's streams forever, plus a month scouting various inbang rooms.
"Alright. Straight ban's no fun, and you donated to apologize, so trial it is. Voting up— you decide."
[Kill kill]
[Vote'll be majority kill anyway lol]
[Fr]
[Need a vote? lol]
"Shh, quiet. Defendant? Defendant present? Answer with donation if yes."
[Wild sticking to the bit]
[lolololol]
[lolololol]
[He'll bail with bond lol]
"Present. Defendant, sway the viewers with your defense. But defense only via donation. Setting min donation to 10k on screen, limiting messages to 30 chars. Defend away."
[lolololol]
[Cheaper than a lawyer? Drink up]
[lololololol]
[Wow money angle sharp]
[Gotta learn that]
[lololol]
[No money? Blacklisted lol]
Chats loving my trial game—felt good.
"Defense time: 2 minutes from now. No defense donations in 2 min? Trial over. Last defense + 2 more min no donation? Over too. Go!"
[Even if he wants, no cash = trial end lol]
[No money no mercy lol]
"~1 minute left."
Accounted for stream delay and recharge time, but rushed the countdown anyway—and donation pinged soon.
[lololol save me lolol]
[lolololol]
Back-to-back 30-char-stuffed donations—I couldn't help laughing, and chat exploded too.
No more after, so defense over? But ending here'd be lame.
"Time's up. Defense done? But why only viewers? I'm the victim—why burgers just for them?"
[No conscience lol]
[Money-crazed...]
[Dude made 140k+ already]
"Hey! This is separate from giving defense chance, okay?"
[Boooooo]
[Drag him!]
[Show power with votes]
[lolololol]
[lol crazy, victim Gyeong-guk took the hit but y'all rooting defendant lolol]
"Wow, guys, I'm so disappointed. Don't you feel bad for me? Sob."
Suddenly pissed at the defendant fans, I covered my face with both hands and shook my shoulders like ugly-crying.
[Victim (real) tears]
[lololololol]
[How much he dropping lolol]
[Still a bargain? lol]
Desperate donation melted away even my 'no hard feelings' vibe. Fine. Even if vote says ban, you're pardoned special.
"Alright, trial seems done—time for vote results."
[lolol good defense prolly sways votes]
[Fr lolol]
[If freeing him ok]
[lolol]
"Drumroll... The vote result is?"
