That was my first casual stream, using my new streaming plan! I decided to have Monday as a set day for casual streams and Friday as a set day for speedruns. Of course, I’d still do speedruns and casual streams on other days, following a loose schedule. Like I did with Firby, which I played three days in a row.

I know, I make it out like streaming is my life, but that’s obviously not true. I still got uni to do ... sort of. And I still had my DnD group around!

And we were about to have our first in-person session in a while.

So, naturally, I spent hours on end in front of the mirror.

Okay, let me backtrack a bit to explain.

If you come across this story on Amazon, be aware that it has been stolen from Royal Road. Please report it.

So, my DnD group went online during the pandemic after which Crush joined us, who doesn’t know me irl, which is important because I play as a female character, so he thinks I am a girl, because I am also V-Tubing as one.

I think that about summarizes it.

I let my forehead sink against the mirror, as I cursed myself for the giant pile of shit I dove into headfirst.

And today would be the day I would meet him for the first time.

Option A: I tell him the truth.

Option B: I somehow manage to keep this a secret by pretending to be a girl irl as well?

Nah, cross-dressing’s not gonna fly.

Even if I managed to trick him, nearly everyone else knows me, which would lead to lots and lots of awkwardness.

I could fake sickness.

Considering that damn virus is still around that would provide me with the perfect alibi.

That one sentence from that V-Tuber contest flashed before my mind once more.

“Be your best authentic self.”

I laughed bitterly at my mirror image.

I guess today would be the day I told him.
