Chapter Title: Gartic Phone with the Heavenly Realm
-----------------------------------------------------------------
It had been ages since the last collab stream with the Heavenly Realm Project members.
[Man, it's been forever since we did a collab like this. Right?]
Anna naturally took charge of hosting the stream.
As the eldest with the highest popularity and great MC skills, she essentially doubled as the leader of the Heavenly Realm Project's 1st Generation.
[Yeah, everyone's been so busy~ We haven't had any time for collabs.]
[Oh right! Haven't you all been super busy lately?]
Mile and Haru chimed in one after another.
After that, the members gradually started opening up on the topic of how busy they were.
[Right, super busy.]
[Yeah, I can't even get proper sleep. Checking edited videos.. Stream prep.. Cover song practice..]
Roa and Maho jumped into the conversation, but I kept my mouth firmly shut and just nodded along.
Because... I'm not busy.
You need stuff to do before you can be busy, right? Lately, I'd spent some time drawing pics to post on Bluebird, but now even that's wrapped up, so aside from streams, the only thing filling my schedule is vocal lessons for practice.
As I just nodded without saying a word, the chat stirred for a moment.
-Why can't she join the convo
-Wangtta vibes ㅜㅜ
-Look at this chick just nodding
-Totally freeloading on streams, huh?
Whether they were worried or flaming, the chat refused to lean one way or the other. While I was smirking at it, a superchat notification rang out.
[Anonymous, 1,000 won superchat—thank you!]
Can Miro-sang spoil what cover song she's doing?
"Huh? Me? I'm not doing one?"
-???
-Why not?
-Do it already
-Not even covers and you're "busy"?
"Huh? Me busy? I'm not busy at all?"
-??
-You don't work?
-Get busy already
[Wait, Miro's not busy?]
At that point, the members must've overheard me chatting with the viewers, because they started addressing me one by one.
[No wonder she's always recruiting for LoL parties in the group chat.]
[Miro does give off that efficient vibe.]
[Yeah, like she wraps things up quick and gets straight to it?]
But public opinion was heading in a weird direction.
Me, efficient at work?
No. I literally have no work.
I mean, two-hour streams a day, and no stream-related meetings lately...
The company handles editing for NerTube uploads too—would the editor screw around? I don't even bother checking them.
Honestly, watching myself talk feels kinda embarrassing anyway.
-Kya lololol
-She gets shit done, Miro!
-No wonder her LoL level wasn't climbing; the members weren't carrying her;;
Still, with the chat finally dropping some impressed reactions after so long, I figured I'd lean into the bit.
"Yeah. Honestly, just finish work quick and chill, right? If the other members hustled like me, we'd have hit LoL level 30 and dropped first-placement content ages ago..."
[What?]
[We shield her and she turns the shield on us..]
-Real talk..
-Ungrateful brat..
"No, can't I have one win?"
Why flip-flop like that.
***
Gartic Phone.
The first player writes a scenario, then the next draws a pic based on that description.
Next player reads the pic and writes a new scenario, then the following one draws from that, cycling through until the end.
If the original scenario matches the final drawing, the whole group wins—simple cooperative fun.
With six of us, six games ran simultaneously.
Once all were done, we'd reveal the six results at once.
[What if someone writes something weird?]
Right before starting, Anna voiced her unease.
"Nah, no worries. Everyone'll keep it tame."
The Heavenly Realm Project members' streams weren't high-heat anyway. Plus, we're all kinda newbies—who'd risk controversy?
[Miro... that was aimed at you...]
"Huh? Why me?"
[....]
-Everyone else gets it but you?
-Scary how she really has no clue ㅇㅇ;;
[Haha.. But didn't Miro draw well last time? During the roguelike collab.]
"Oh, you remember?"
[Yeah, you said you even drew fanart of the Japanese seniors.]
"People? Yeah, those turn out decent."
-Oh yeah
-Wow, Miro draws too?
-Surprisingly multi-talented;
[Looking forward to it, then. Let's start a round.]
With that, Anna wrapped up the chit-chat, and we dove into the game proper.
No talking until all Gartic Phones finished, so we left voice chat.
"What to write?"
First up: jot a scenario right at the start. Had to be easy and tame for the next member to build on.
-Go wild
-Write something crazy
-Hyped
-Let's flip the script lol
As expected, viewers wanted chaos that'd screw the next player, but I kept it vanilla.
"This'll do."
-Fuck why even ask?
-Ah damn Mirosich
-ㄴㅈ
-Totally ruined the vibe lol
-Fun's dead ㅋㅋ
-No chaos??
Viewers were pissed, but whatever—chat's just chat.
Starting with real weirdness would've killed the mood anyway.
Wrote the scenario, then got the next one.
[Heavenly Realm Project group photo]
"Tch.. Tough order."
-Easy tho?
-Just vanilla
"Have to draw all six of us."
Gartic Phone's time limit was surprisingly tight.
My skills could've whipped up six cute chibis easy, but that'd make the art style too obvious, right?
Especially with that mangaka's retweet boosting my domestic buzz big-time.
Drawing similar now would pull insane aggro.
So...
"Hmm.. This should work."
lolololololol
-No "people" my ass
-She drew like total shit
-You trolling rn?
-Gartic Phone trolling
"This is the best I can do in such short time."
I admired my handiwork.
Drawn on a top-tier screen tablet, yet it looked straight-up tragic.
Just quick stick-figure chibis with one key trait per member scribbled in.
Still, group photo vibes—hopefully they'd get it?
Praying on that, I waited for the next drawing.
No high hopes for the members' art, though.
Busy folks all—how good could it be?
"Bet it'll be around my level, though?"
Shouldn't have said that out loud to viewers...
"Hmm.."
-Kinda cute tho?
-???: Everyone's like me
-Wow
-Similar? Yours is ass lol
The next drawing was seriously well done—whoever it was.
Not pro-level, but solid for the time limit—must hobby hard.
"Well, it's good. But what's it supposed to be?"
-Good my ass ㅇㅈㄹ
-Dancing?
"Description's a bit lacking."
[Anonymous, 1,000 won superchat—thank you.]
Miro-sang draws like shit but nitpicks others? Fair?
Sharp superchat hit right then.
Draws like shit, huh.. Let's see if you say that after Gartic Phone ends.
I studied the drawing hard.
Can't match my style? Mimic theirs.
Pinpointed the cute chibi points and analyzed—time flew by.
-Time's almost up, draw?
-Hurry tf up
-Just slap something
"Ah, hold on..."
Focused so hard on the pic, writing time was nearly gone.
Under 5 seconds left.
Thanks to studying, I knew what it was—smashed the keyboard...
[Shooting star or s]
[Time's up! Next sentence!]
Rushed too hard—typo city, didn't even finish.
"Hmm.. Wonder what the next sentence is?"
-Lol
-She's a troll;
-Wtf??
-Ah damn Mirosich
"My turn again?"
Next: 'Miro handstanding'
Dunno the original, but easy to draw.
-Tough luck
-How's the leader drawing that?
-Might be easier in Miro's style
"Yeah, easier than last one."
Said that and grabbed the pen.
No time for sketches—straight to hands on ground.
Slightly round and chubby, SD-style Miro—small, plump, adorable.
Handstand on floor, arms shaking, hair spilling down to puddle on ground—done.
Finished drawing, brief wait for next.
Checked chat I'd ignored.
-???
-Gonna blank?
-Was that really Miro's drawing just now?
-Copied it quick?
-Wtf?
Chat in total shock, as expected.
My drawing matched the previous style near-perfectly—worthy of awe.
Smirking at the scrolling chat, I dropped one line.
"From now on, call me Copy Ninja Miro."
Prodigy.
Song Queen.
Next up: Copy Ninja.
