Earthquakes

Pezzy grumbled to himself, hurrying after Droid down the long hallway of the hotel. They'd slept in that morning, and only had 5 minutes to meet their friends in the lobby.

Pezzy needed some kind of caffeine, and had even packed his gsupps for this specific reason. He'd shoved the can into his backpack he'd planned on bringing to the convention center, and was waiting impatiently to be able to make himself a cup.

"Sleep in?" Puffer said amused, Pezzy grumbling moodily in response. He thankfully wasn't hungover too bad, a mild headache at most, but he was exhausted.

Puffer, Grizzy and Matt laughed, looking annoyingly perky for 9am. Smii7y and Kryoz were both also looking tired, but more energetic than Pezzy.

Tyler, Anthony and Scotty laughed, shaking their heads as they checked the time. "Right, the convention is only 3 blocks away, so we should get going," Tyler said and they nodded, heading out.

The walk went quick, Pezzy focusing on just keeping moving. He'd have to slip away early to get his drink made before really delving into the crowds, but if anyone saw him beforehand of course he'd put on a happy smile for them.

They reached the convention, showing the security guard their creator passes. They got in, moving past the crowd gathered at the doors.

"Right, before we do anything, I need caffeine," Pezzy announced as soon as they got inside, Droid nodding in agreement. "There's a little coffee shop down there," Tyler said, gesturing to the left and Droid and Grizzy perked up.

"I've got my gsupps, I'm not a fan of coffee," Pezzy said and Tyler shrugged. "That's fine. Meet up back here in say, 30 minutes? Convention starts in 45," he said and they all agreed.

Puffer followed Pezzy to a small sitting area, Grizzy and Droid heading to the coffee area with Kryoz. Smii7y and Blarg followed Tyler and Anthony while Scotty headed off alone to the bathrooms.

"Got enough for two cups?" Puffer asked and Pezzy nodded, pulling his shaker cup, the powder and a water bottle out. "You got a cup?" He asked and Puffer nodded, pulling one out of his bag.

They mixed their drinks really quick, Pezzy taking a long drink as soon as he was ready. Grizzy and Droid joined them, the four sitting and taking a moment to enjoy the somewhat peace before the insanity of the day.

"Right. It's time to meet the others. You guys ready for this?" Puffer asked and the three nodded, grinning at each other. They loved TwitchCon and meeting their fans and being able to just hang out with their friends.

They met up with the others at the prementioned spot, noticing other creators walking around. "Let's get going then, they'll be opening the doors in a few minutes," Tyler said cheerfully, the group nodding and heading deeper into the convention.

The doors opened and the noise level suddenly exploded, Pezzy flinching at the boom. Droid stuck close to him, knowing he wasn't the best with huge crowds, Puffer and Grizzy fanning out around him.

As the smallest, he had a tendency to get lost or hurt in huge crowds, especially high level emotion ones like a fan convention. But he had the best friends possible, he'd been perfectly okay since his first TwitchCon.

The day passed quickly, the group splitting up to smaller groups to check out separate games. They all met up at one for the unofficial meet and greet, Pezzy signing and taking so many pictures they all blended together.

He absolutely loved it though when someone would mention their name and he'd remember their username in his chat or in his YouTube comments.

Tyler, Puffer, Smii7y and John had much bigger crowds, but Pezzy didn't care. This was his fanbase, people who showed up to see him in chat or watch his videos, and they were all important to him.
