"Manniquinn is live: Playing Fall Guys just cause"

You type quickly, the only sound in the room being your rapid typing. You click on the button that starts your stream. You put on the "stream starting soon" screen, which is a zoomed in shot of a mannequin head with a picture of your face taped onto it. As dumb as it is, your viewers seem to like it, lovingly naming it Quincy, a play on your twitch handle.

You see your audience slowly trickle in, typing "Hi Manni" but mostly "QUINCY". You reach for your mic, turn on your echo effect, without turning on your face cam, and speak intensely into the mic.

"Hello gamers" your voice booms. You see your audience scream in chat, a few saying "YOU SCARED ME" You let out a small chuckle, turning on your facecam, saying hello to your audience.

You look in your face cam, only seeing your tiny face emerging from a pink hoodie. You made sure to wear extra baggy clothes while streaming, because even though you already did your face reveal months ago, you still do not want the sexist reputation as a gamer girl using her body for an audience.

You pull the strings of your hoodie to have it pull up to your face. You adjust your Ted Nivison cream time hat, which chat already called out. You giggle at them just typing TED over and over.

"Let's play some Fall guys, eh chat?" You say, smiling towards the camera.

A couple of hours into stream, you chat starts blowing up for no reason. You scream as you see your character fall, leaving you disqualified. You slam your hands onto your desk, cursing left and right.

"YOU JUST MADE ME DIE CHAT THIS BETTER BE GOOD" you yell comically. You lean forward to look at chat.

"What about Ted?" You ask. All the sudden you see Ted Nivison type into chat, "lol sorry for making you die but a heck your twitter dms." You raise your eyebrow.

"Okay Ted," you mutter, pulling out your phone. You check your dms, and you see Ted Nivison has messaged you.

Ted: Hey are you up for Among Us? We need a couple of people. I'm sorry for like randomly messaging you since we don't really know eachother but you seem kinda chill.

"Just give me a second chat," you say, pulling the screen to just facecam, as you sit back in your gamer chair.

You: It's cool, sure I'm totally down. It's be nice to actually stream together like we talked about at that misfit party.

Ted: Yeah, btw I don't want you to think you're like a last resort, your friend Jaiden mentioned that you were streaming.

You smiled at the thought of your friend Jaiden. From Jaiden Animations. You two have been good internet friends for a while, hanging out at last year's twitchcon. You'll have to thank her later.

You: Oh cool, you mind sending me the discord link and game code? I'll be there ASAP.

Ted: Oh sure

You get the discord link and game code and you look over to chat.
"Hey chat! We got a special thing going on! We're going to playing Among Us with Ted and my friend Jaiden, and whoever else is there!" You say. Your chat explodes with excitement. A few moments later you hover your mouse over the "Join Call" in Discord as you scan the names.

"Alright chat I guess we're playing with Ted, Jaiden, Slimcicle, Mason, Jawsh, Cooper, and Noah." You say, and you click to join the call. You timidly speak into your mic.
