Issac had been sponsored by SRG for a little over two years. His fame had gotten so out of control that people had even started recognizing him in person. Luckily, most people who he'd met in person had been cool, and he hadn't needed to worry about his own safety. He'd hired an agent soon after, though. He needed someone in his corner to handle events and the rest of the crap that had bogged him down. Issac could actually sleep for eight hours now without worrying that something wasn't getting done. Who would have thought that things could get that crazy?

His agent was a man named Dalton Griggs. He was a tall, thin man in his thirties who had absolutely no sense of humor at all, but he did a good job. Issac's work was streamlined, and Dalton even hired a post-production helper for the vlogger, so he could release more videos without burning out. Issac would send the raw videos through a private cloud, online, to his helper. He'd explain what he was looking for with the video and the title he wanted to use and voila, his helper would send back a finished product. It was magic.

Issac's internal thoughts were interrupted by the doorbell. He answered the door without bothering to put a shirt on. Speak of the devil, it was Dalton. The man stood practically at attention as if he were a soldier. No, he was more of a butler type. His upright and slightly condescending demeanor made Issac think the man would be entirely at home wearing a butler's suit.

Dalton gave an unamused glance at Issac's fit chest before he said, “I've brought your fan mail.” He waved a hand, and three men followed him in, carrying large boxes filled with letters and packages.

The men moved with efficiency, setting the packages down before swiftly leaving to grab the next load. They repeated this until there were fifteen large boxes filled to the brim with his fanmail sitting in his living room. It was probably a good thing he didn't have people over. It was going to take years to get through this pile!

As the last man left, he threw a wink at Issac, making the vlogger clear his throat and try not to blush. The guy had been hot. Nice big muscles stretched the guy's shirt, and he looked like he had a good sense of humor too. Just the kind of guy Issac went for.

Dalton stepped in the way, blocking Issac's view before he could check out the guy's ass. Damn. Party pooper. Issac brought his attention back to Dalton, who had begun to talk, “You are scheduled to do a live unboxing in an hour. It's slotted for two hours. After that, you need to finish organizing the leftover mail and put together pictures of you with the items that we can add to your blog. Tomorrow, you have the day off, and Saturday, you have a meet and greet at Three PM.”

“Aye, aye, captain Griggs! I'll get ready for action!” Issac said with a grin and a salute.

Dalton left without another word.

“Wow! This is so freaking awesome!” Issac said to the camera as he pulled a giant stuffed crochet doll from the box he'd just opened. It looked like Issac's character, Ice. It even had little crochet pouches on its mage robes. “I love it. This is going on my couch. Thank you!”

MaxieMo: OMG THATS FROM ME! *happy dance*

JoeSmokes: normally I'd say eww it's a doll. But I want one. lol lol

Rexxors2: Me too!

Simonsays: No. It's still a doll :P

JammieK03: lame

Nikolbk: FU JamK o1oo sit and spin on the upraised finger

Zuits: shup Jammie no one asked U

The next fifty or so lines of the Livestream viewer text was all razzing either JammieK, the doll, or asking MaxieMo to make it or for directions on how to create one. They flooded by so fast that only Issac's experience allowed him to read most of it.

He sat the box with the doll aside and reached for the next package, and placed in on his lap. Before he opened the package, a sense of unease filtered through his body. He covered it by joking with the mass of people watching him, “MaxieMo, I'd ask you to marry me if I had a straight bone in my body.”

MaxieMo: who said I was female? Hue hue >: D

Issac barely had a chance to read what she'd said before the crowded chat server when nuts and the comments flew by faster than he had the opportunity to read. “I was simply going by that luscious photo you sent me. Seriously, if I were straight, I'd marry you in a heartbeat.” Issac felt something from the new box in his lap drip onto his leg.

His eyes went wide, and he smiled even bigger, “That's all the time we have for tonight guys. I'm sorry I have to cut the Livestream here, but I'm going to go snuggle my new doll that was made by the sexy MaxieMo. Take care, everyone! And as always, go game!”

Issac kept his smile until he'd cut the live feed. He lifted the box with shaking fingers and violently threw the package away from him when he saw the dripping red that stained the edge of his shorts. He picked up his phone from his desk and dialed the police. “Hello,” Issac said, his voice shaking as much as his hands were, “I was sent a package in the mail. There is something red leaking out the bottom.” He swallowed, “I think its blood.”
