The three friends returned from their mission after some time having fun in the world. Silva felt visibly tired, yawning before she could talk.
"That was fun, I wish we could have stayed longer."
"Silva... You returned to ride the train for a few hours, isn't it enough already." Sepide sighed, visibly not sharing her enthusiasm. "Shouldn't you go to Emely? You need to give her wool back. I don't think she needs all of us for that, you can go give it to her. I just... Want to be alone for a moment."
"Oh, alright. Don't think too hard, you'll hurt your head."
Silva smiled through her worries and went with Remiel toward Emely's lab. Sepide stayed silently in the hallway for a moment and headed to her room after taking a deep breath.
Once her door was locked, Sepide took a chair and used it to block it. She saw that Silva could get the keys anyway and wanted to ensure she wouldn't be interrupted. She took her memories box and stared at its contents for a while with a smile. After reminiscing enough for her taste she put the bit of wool she took from the Blocky Lands and put the box back under her bed. Looking back at her door once more to make sure it was closed, she sat on her chair and booted up her computer.
Everything was ready, she felt like everyone was waiting for her to start. Like always, her heart was pounding in her chest. Taking a deep breath, Sepide pressed the button to start her stream with a bright smile.
"Hello everyone! It's me, your Yoake-Chan! You're so many today too, thanks for being here!"
The numerous messages on her chat brought a smile to her face. There weren't any worries about her future or her present here, only the joy of making everyone happy. Sepide looked at the games that the leader lent her, choosing what she would play for them. She looked at the messages from her chat to see if anyone had a suggestion for her, but one of the messages took her attention.
-Hey! I really love your streams, they always make me happy! ˶ᵔ ᵕ ᵔ˶ Today is my birthday and I don't have anyone to spend it with. ꃋᴖꃋ But I'm glad that you're streaming today since I'm not alone today at least!-
"Oh... I'm sorry you don't have anyone to share your birthday with. At least you can be here with all of us! We're like a big family together so happy birthday Kuj1kawa14!"
She still felt embarrassed to act so joyful and expressive but felt better than the first few times she did. Her avatar looked happier than she really was but she was happy that way, she felt like she was truly happy for a few hours at least. Another message piqued her curiosity, recommending a game.
-Yoake-chan!, I live your content. can you play this fame called "donna donna" please? it's my dav <3-
"Thanks for your kind message! I never heard of that game but I'll play it with pleasure!"
Sepide was a bit amused by the mistakes in the message and downloaded the game on internet. She talked with her chat for a bit waiting for the game to be downloaded. Once it was finally ready she launched the game without much expectations. To her great surprise, the title screen was filled with barely dressed women. She hurried to close the game after letting a small sound of surprise out, hoping she wouldn't get in trouble for her mistake.
"I'm so sorry! I didn't know it was that kind of game..."
Her viewers seemed to be amused by the situation rather than mad, relieving her slightly. She was glad that Silva wasn't here, if she was she probably would have embarrassed her even more.
Remiel was sleeping peacefully in her creator's lab, recharging her batteries. Silva wasn't exactly sure what her friend's plans were, she seemed to create a kind of clothing with the wool she just got. She didn't want to bother Emely in her work but was almost forced to stay here. Silva decided to just listen to music while waiting for her friend. Everything was going well until Silva sighed in frustration, prompting her friend to come to her.

"Is there a problem Silva?"
"I don't know how to use internet to listen to music, it always puts something unrelated once it's over."
"Oh, that's quite easy to fix. You can disable autoplay and it will stop playing other videos."
"It's not the problem, it's that I only want music."
"Then why don't you use an app for music instead of going to a place with lots of videos?"
Silva let out a tired sigh while holding her phone, she started to think that even if she could see she would be lost.
"Too complicated... That's why I use my mp3 player instead."
"Mp3... Player?" Emely was confused by her friend's statement, surprised by the fact that she still used old technology "Why don't you use your phone like everyone?"
"I want to listen to music, no call people."
"Silva, your phone had ten times more storage than your mp3 player and the sound quality is better. You can just put the songs in your phone."
"Wait, really? Why no one told me?"
Emely sighed slightly at Silva's answer but smiled softly as well.
"I think everyone assumed you'd use your phone. Give it to me, I'll show you how it works."
Silva was about to give her phone but quickly kept it when she suddenly heard Sepide's familiar voice from the phone.
"Wait, I think it's Sepide's livestream that's playing."
"Sepide? The new member?"
"It's been a month or so now, she's not much of a new member."
"I just consider everyone that came after me a new member. But I'm surprised you know what a livestream is and don't know how to put music on your phone."
"I'm just supporting my friend in her hobbies... Wanna prank her?"
"Prank her?" Emely wasn't comfortable about playing around with someone she barely interacted with before but still was a bit curious to see Silva's plan "And how would you do it?"
"I'll show you!"
Silva typed a comment on the live. Despite her efforts, she made some mistakes but the message was still readable. Emely couldn't recognize the message and asked her friend about it with interest.
"Donna Donna, is it a good game?"
"Dunno, never played it. I just know that it's perverse."
"But you still didn't know you could put music on your phone..."
"You act like music on phones is the greatest thing humanity ever made."
"Yeah, it is. I always listen to music on my phone. Sometimes to podcast or things like that too. You always listen to music when you walk around the ship, it would benefit you to have them on your phone."
"I don't listen to music often, if I have headphones it's just because no one interrupts me when I walk around with them."
The sound of Sepide gasping in surprise on the phone took the two friend's attention. Emely had to admit that it was kind of funny to see her react in such a way, if she reacted like that every time Silva messed with her, then she understood why she was doing it.
"It was funny, maybe we should do it more often."
"Really?" Silva had a bright smile and turned toward her friend with enthusiasm "I could do so much if I had an accomplice! Especially an engineer~"
"Let's keep it innocent for now, shall we? I don't want to get in trouble."
"Yeah don't worry, I'll find a way to mess with Neige next time."
Silva handed her phone to Emely. Her friend wasn't sure why for a moment but quickly remembered that she needed to show how to put music on it. After teaching her how to do so, Emely gave Silva's phone back.
"See, it's really easy and practical."
"It seems so. I can really put anything on it?" Silva said with a mischievous grin.
"Yeah, anything."
"Even porn?"
Emely blushed and stayed silent momentarily and answered while looking away from her crush's eyes.
"Yes... We could listen to it together if you want..."
"T-T-T-T-Together!?" Silva stepped back suddenly. Her friend had never seen her so embarrassed before, worrying her for a moment.
"Did I say something I shouldn't?"
Silva turned around with a red face and muttered words to herself while playing with her hands with a mix of embarrassment and excitation.
"Together... Emely... Porn..."
"Silva, are you alright?"
Silva turned back to her, trying her best to talk despite her sudden shyness.
"I should be the one asking that! Since when are you so perverted!?"
"A few months ago you put your hands on my boobs and imitated a car's honk, I didn't expect listening to porn would be your limit."
"Yes but... It's different..."
The door opened suddenly, taking the two girls by surprise who flinched when they heard it. Neige and the leader barely entered that Silva hid her embarrassed self from Emely by hiding behind them.
"Neige! She's a bully!"
"I just proposed to watch porn with her."
Emely just realized the words she uttered in front of Neige and the leader and turned around to hide her red face from them.
"Should we... Come back later? We just needed help with something."
"No!!" The two girls yelled in unison.
The leader looked at Neige to understand what happened with them but even he didn't have the answer. They had to wait for the two to calm down before being able to continue the conversation.
