The Real You

A new game

"Alright everyone! Thanks for joining the stream, and don't forget to tune into the next one tomorrow. Azura is logging off!", she said as she clicked the end stream button and powered down everything. It took a few minutes before she slumped in her chair and sighed. She was online for six hours straight, not her longest stream ever but she was exhausted.

She stood and stretched, her back cracking, before making her way across the room to give her cat much deserved and needed attention. He happily accepted the affection from his beloved owner and purred loudly. "Want some food Ghosty Boy?", she cooed.

Ghost perked up and jumped off his cat tree, making a chirping sound as he did so. He quickly sauntered off to the kitchen, not waiting for his owner to follow. She chuckled softly to herself and slowly followed her pet.

Once he was fed she went to the bathroom and showered before coming back to the kitchen to make a meal. In the middle of cooking the chicken, her phone rang.

"Hello?", she said as she answered and put her phone on speaker.

"What's up Ami?", the voice on the other end said. Amity could tell her friend was smiling.

"Eh, just got off stream, what about you Willow?"

"Just looking at the fact that you're trending on Penstagram. Again. And I also have a game suggestion for you!"

"Yeah yeah, I've been ignoring the notifications. A new game suggestion? Spill girl."

"It's been around for a bit, no one knows who the dev is. I think it's right up your alley, very magical", she can hear the smirk.

"Har har, what's the name?"

"The Owl House, look it up. I've played it and it's pretty good. The artwork is phenomenal!"

Amity went to grab her laptop, opening up Goodle and searching for the game. She was face to face with an indie game, something that would have never been on her radar; however because Willow suggested it, she was willing to give it a go. The game seemed to have good reviews on Stem.

She looked at the snippets of artwork and hummed, "Wow you're right the artwork is beautiful."

"Told ya. Seriously, play it. On stream while you're at it cause I wanna see your reactions."

"Okay okay, I'll download it tomorrow and stream it the day after that. Cause you know, I already have plans for tomorrow's stream."

"Yeah I hear you, anyways, I gotta go girl. Don't forget to call okay? Oh and your siblings told me to tell you to message them."

She goaned at the words her friend said. "Fine, the annoying little shits", she mumbled.

Willow laughed before saying goodbye and hanging up. Amity smiled to herself as she plated her food and sat at her table, digging into her meal.

"Hello everyone and welcome back to The Last of Us! When we last left off we were trying to escape this creepo and get back to Joel."

Amity really enjoyed the storytelling of this game, and her audience knew it was one of her favorites. Which is why they always asked for her to replay the game on stream. It never got old for her or her audience.
