Chapter Title: Party Recap
-----------------------------------------------------------------
Yesterday's party had been more enjoyable than expected.
Up until midway, I'd just been quietly eating to kill time, but from the middle on, there was something like a networking session, so I ended up chatting with various streamers. Among them was Half Moon Bear, the one I'd enjoyed watching the most.
Though unexpectedly running into one of my fans and having my face exposed was a bit embarrassing, it wasn't some problematic face that would cause issues even if revealed, so I decided not to worry too much about it.
We hadn't even taken a single photo together before she just up and left, so there was no way my face could've been exposed anyway. She didn't seem like the type to do that.
Anyway, after that refreshing day, back in my daily routine, I fired up the stream right on time at 6 PM, as usual.
⚙ SYSTEM NOTIFICATION ⚙ 'Cosmo' has started broadcasting. 'Tweet Party Recap + Chill Vibes'
I put up that title, and later when I checked, not just me but all the other streamers on the rankings had titled theirs "Party Recap" too. It was kinda funny.
People really do think alike.
💬 Chat — Elephant Hoou Hi Cosmo — Passing Abalone Diver Hi Cosmo — Alpaca Hunter Hi Cosmo ⚙ DONATION ALERT ⚙ Cosmo Absolute Guardian has donated 10,000 won. Hi! Did you have a good time at the Tweet party? The chairwoman was here today too. She really shows up every single day without fail. It'd be great if I could do something nice for fans like her.
"Thanks for the donation. Yeah, I huddled in the corner like a total loner, but I had a good time anyway. They kept offering drinks, so I had some, and I woke up totally wiped out this morning because of it."
— White Forest Broadcaster hungover? Can't handle social life — Lucid Dream 7 That's why you don't do social life lololol — Hundred Flowers Uproar For real lol These guys...
Just one comment and they swarm like that? And what do you mean I don't do social stuff? I do everything I need to. I go to the dentist regularly and hit the gym.
Wait, does that not count as social life? Anyway, whatever. Ahem.
⚙ DONATION ALERT ⚙ Elephant Hoou has donated 1,000 won. How much did you drink to end up like that? "Nah, I didn't drink that much. Like three glasses of wine?"
In response to the follow-up, I held up three fingers—even though there's no cam to see it.
I know I'm a lightweight, so even if there's an event like that, I usually hold back. Yesterday, I actually drank a bit more than usual because of the atmosphere.
That said, I don't hate alcohol. At home, when I have time, I'll crack open a beer for some solo drinking. I just don't like getting blackout drunk.
— Elephant Hoou Crazy, you're really a lightweight — Lock on Glasses Still stronger than me though? — Arisa Jowa I turn red after one shot of soju too lol This chat is full of people who couldn't handle social life either. Comrades, huh? No wonder they say great minds think alike. You guys are all I've got.
"Anyway, I'll keep the recap short and jump into that game we didn't finish last time. Cool with everyone? Not a ton to spill anyway."
— Cro-Magnon Surprising. Wasn't fun? — Moscos Was hyped but reaction lukewarm — Seafood Bibim Sauce Don't care either way lol "No, it was fun, just not much to recap."
If any higher-ups from the event are watching, don't misunderstand. It was definitely fun. So please invite me to the next one.
"I did snap some pics. The food quality was insane."
— Soju-Flavored Hand Cream Other streamers said the same — National Hit No.1 Cosmo Look at that color — Blue Mangem Looks higher quality than last time? Viewers who'd heard about last year's year-end party from other streamers' recaps could compare, apparently.
As the audience checked out the food pics I showed and showered them with praise, saying they'd put real effort in, I felt properly treated and puffed up a bit.
"They had steak you could order separately too, and I tried it later. It was legit good. But it seemed pricey, so I only got it once and then just raided the buffet."
— Catfish Goat Frog Why worry about that lololol — Elephant Hoou True Trait: Obsesses over weird stuff — Neighbor Raises Hani Does look expensive lol Was that roast-worthy? Should've just shut up. Gave them free ammo. Damn it.
⚙ DONATION ALERT ⚙ Cosmo Absolute Guardian has donated 1,000 won. lmao wasn't even that expensive a cut, could've had more "Oh, really? That wasn't pricey?"
Her casual remark left me blankly repeating the question. Isn't all steak expensive? Is it because I rarely eat it?
Guess the chairwoman eats stuff like this all the time, so she knows at a glance. The difference in our worlds shows, tsk.
"Anyway, the food was satisfying. Oh, and I have one brag-worthy thing..."
— Hundred Flowers Uproar ? — Adios Dao ? — Pink Bunny Beatnik tho They shut it down the second I try to say something.
But whatever, this is my stream. What can you do? Nothing but sit there jealous and crying.
"Turns out I met my first fan at the party? And she was a girl."
I boldly dropped the bomb, ignoring all those question marks, and an avalanche twice as big hit the chat.
— Elephant Hoou ? — Bera666 What nonsense is this? — Swallow Loin How'd she recognize you there? Bull Most reactions were utter disbelief.
Makes sense. I'm not a facecam streamer, so someone recognizing me is weird. But it happened IRL.
"I was shocked too, but remember I showed my outfit on stream the day before? She must've remembered. Said she was iffy at first but came over and talked."
— Teacher's Pet Fr? Possible? — Pure Moonlit Flower Which streamer? Since it was a streamers-only party, most assumed it was another streamer. Gotta clear that up first.
"Not a streamer. She was staff on site. Said they were short-handed and called her in last minute."
— White Forest Timing on point — Arisa Jowa Remembering your outfit means true fan — Passing Abalone Diver Kinda creepy tbh I thought it was an insane coincidence too, but isn't that how the world works?
No way she knew I'd be there, memorized my outfit, and disguised as staff to find me. Nobody could pull that off.
⚙ DONATION ALERT ⚙ Seafood Bibim Sauce has donated 1,000 won. If the star of this story is watching, come out already "You're all troublemakers."
She didn't even give her nickname before leaving, so she's probably just a lurker. Best to mention it lightly like this and move on.
⚙ DONATION ALERT ⚙ Cosmo Absolute Guardian has donated 10,000 won. What was she like? "What was she like? Hmm... She was a woman, and super pretty. Like, a type I'd never seen before. Kinda gave off that top-tier fantasy race vibe?"
— Elephant Hoou Neudaeng chew — Whitebeard Whale What even is that weeb — 600-Year Tradition Grandma Pizza Lie's exposed here, gg These bastards...
They bought the outfit recognition part, but the second I say pretty girl, they flip and call my rare real story bullshit. Hopeless.
Real thugs.
— Cosmo Absolute Guardian That pretty? "Whew, yeah. A beauty I'd never even hold hands with in my life. Not that I'm thrilled just 'cause she's hot—I'm happy purely because she's a fan, of course..."
Didn't want it dismissed as simp talk, so I tacked on a disclaimer.
Though yeah, the eye candy and extra joy from her being a knockout were real, the main reason I was happy was her calling herself my fan.
— Cosmo Absolute Guardian I know hehe Hope you meet her again Nodding at the chairwoman's chat, for some reason it felt like that wish wasn't directed at me, leaving a strange aftertaste.
Wonder if we'll meet again.
