THE Big-Tuber

Congrats for 500 subscribers!

Shortly after my collab stream with Val Big-Tuber-san texted me again! We stayed in contact a bit for the past few weeks, but haven’t really had any deep conversation since. Though I assume, she might have been watching my streams with her private account.

Gaia-chan

Thank you so much!

Though, without your help, I probably wouldn’t have gotten that far.

You really kickstarted my career there.

THE Big-Tuber

Hahah, um, you’re welcome?

Or should I say sorry?

Gaia-chan

What

Lmao

THE Big-Tuber

I’ve seen your recent stream with Val!

Guess with newfound fame come newfound rivalries

Gaia-chan

Ah that

Hahah, it was fun streaming with her

I enjoy teasing her very much lol

Hope she knows, I’m not too serious ...

THE Big-Tuber

Ehhh, I wouldn’t count on it.

She can get rather ... tenacious

Gaia-chan

What do you mean?

THE Big-Tuber

Well, I’ve known her for a while, being a high-ranking V-Tuber and all

Somehow it came up, that we live in the same city

And since then

She’s been whooping my ass at the arcade!

Gaia-chan

Wait ...

Does that mean

You’ve met irl?

THE Big-Tuber

Yep.

She can be fun.

But when she gets into games, lord save us.

Gaia-chan

Wow, I’ve never met another V-Tuber irl

THE Big-Tuber

What about your special buddy?

Gaia-chan

Who?

Ah, you mean Crush?

There have been a couple of close calls.

THE Big-Tuber

Lmao, you say that as if you’ve been avoiding him hahah

Got me there!

Gaia-chan

No! I’m just ... nervous is all.

THE Big-Tuber

To meet people from online?

Yeah, I haven’t really done that either.

Val obv being the exception.

That wasn’t quite the truth, of course, but let’s leave it at that. Meeting people on the internet was a common occurrence for me, if showing up at strangers‘ houses at 2am, after five text messages falls under that.

THE Big-Tuber

Well, Ceneric Anime Gonvention will be soon enough

If it doesn’t get postponed by A Certain Avoidable Pandemic(tm)

Gaia-chan

Ahh, I’ve been wanting to go there, the year the pandemic began!

Would’ve been my first con ...

THE Big-Tuber

Yeah, I also had tickets

So glad I didn’t need to cancel any hotel reservations or the like, since I live in the same city

Gaia-chan

Waaaaaait, you don’t live in Ceneric Gity, do you ...

THE Big-Tuber

LOOOOL

Yes I do!

You too, I assume?

Gaia-chan

Funny the world’s too small

But okay I guess this is a big city

THE Big-Tuber

Here’s a fun suggestion: Wanna meet up?

Gaia-chan

Lol, I mean, sure??

Crap I let my excitement get ahead of me! She doesn’t know I’m a guy, actually, right? Ohhhh, I don’t wanna creep her out!

THE Big-Tuber

There’s this cute cafe I sometimes go to

They have books and coffee and just chill vibes

I’ll send you the location.

I could still cancel on her! Come up with some bogus excuse!

THE Big-Tuber

You got time tomorrow?

It’s the weekend right?

Gaia-chan

Yeah, should be no problem

I got swept away in her enthusiasm!

THE Big-Tuber

Alright! I’ll be off for now, so ttyt?

Gaia-chan

Yes, looking forward :D

And just like that ... I guess I had a date.
