CHAPTER NINETEEN
"Why am I doing this again?" Kali asked with a small frown on her face, tilting her head a little as she sat in a Discord call with her best friend and she was sharing a set of messages that she had gotten within the week. The girl sipped on a pink Mountain Dew, one that didn't taste like cat piss but tasted rather like strawberry lemonade. She liked the strawberry lemonade much better then cat piss but at least some people agreed with her.
"Because it's fun." The girl rolls her eyes when a very New York accent comes through. She couldn't believe what she was hearing as she put the drink down, her eyes glaring towards the small icon which glowed as he talked.
"You and I have very different definitions of fun then Schlatt." She muttered, pulling her knees to her chest as she suddenly got a new message in the dms which made a nice sound come through her ears. It was a message asking if she was busy, which she clearly was not, but she chose to ignore it rather then answer.
"It's a love show!" Schlatt says and Kali can practically see a grin which is on his face but Kali didn't find it as amusing. She huffed, not wanting to listen to whatever reasons he thinks it is a good reason for her to play the love game yet at the same time she had already agreed to what Austin had offered. "I did it, Wilbur did it, and, uh, Sapnap did it?"
"Why the hell would I care if Sapnap or Wilbur did it?" Kali asked with a muffled laugh which her mic barely picked up on. She rolled her eyes and rested her head on the back of the chair. There was a clear laugh from
"Well," Schlatt says and Kali can tell from her side of the phone call that he is thinking about why it would be a good idea. It's clear that he can't really come up with anything else. "It's getting started soon and I hope you have fun." The man says and Kali rolls her eyes.
"I will not." Kali tells the older man but she shakes her head, seeing that her host was ready to join the call. The two hang up and Kali quickly jumps to her next call, a small feeling of anxiety rising in her chest. She had never done something like this and she knew that a ton of people would be watching the stream. "Hello Austin," She hums a little.
"Barbie!" Austin unmutes and his cheery voice comes through her headphones. The girl raised her eyebrows at his cheery tone from her just joining but his voice definitely brought a sense calming comes over her. "How are you?" He asks which makes Kali smile some more.
"Faceless as ever." Kali says with a small chuckle as she puts a face mask on, the same she had used in the video because she was going to have her camera on for this game show. It was anxiety worthy.
"But not completely!" Austin hums with a smile on his face as he watched her turn her camera on and give him a small wave. She shifts a little in her chair, her eyes scanning over her main monitor and she is suddenly grateful for the mask that is covering her anxiety.
"True," Kali responds with a small nod and her eyes flicker from the main screen to her second where she could see the Discord server and starting soon screen. "Are we ready?" She asks after taking a discreet deep breath to try to calm her nerves.
"Yes we are!" Austin tells her and Kali leans back in her chair.
"You seem very excited about this." She points out bluntly as she once again looks over the list of people who were going to be particularly in the Love or Host that Schlatt had practically bullied her into doing. If my one could get her to do anything, it was JSchlatt.
"Because I am." Austin tells the girl happily and Kali raises an eyebrow, confused as to why out of all the streamers or content creators he could have chosen, he was so excited to have her on his show. His very popular show, Kali thought. "You've been the buzz recently Miss Barbie." He points out and in full honesty, Kali can't argue with him. She has been getting more and more views recently and with views comes subscribers.
"Let's get this show on the road." Kali simply responds and the two switch calls and the show officially begins.
At first all is going well as the people introduce themselves. Kali is also at first very overwhelmed, it wasn't that she was bad with people but rather that she was learning a lot about a lot of people at once. But slowly but surely the girl got through the people and she got it down to a group of people who she either knew directly or who she knew from other people talking about them.
"I like Quackity." Kali nods a little as her eyes went to the person who was the same age as her who grinned at this. He was wearing a beanie and the whole time had been joking around, insulting her and overall the two had matching energy. There was also George and Sapnap and two others. "He's my favorite right now." She hummed with a smile on her face although none of them could see unless they looked at her eyes.
"Right now?" Quackity repeats back the words as if it hurt his feelings and he put a hand to his chest, right over where his heart was. Kali rolled her eyes despite the smile that was now on her face again. She found him funny, he was someone who matched her humor and the two were slowly getting closer. "I'm heart broken."
"Sorry friend." Kali shrugged a little.
"She called me her friend!" Quackity sudden shouted, his mic nearly peaking and Kali's smile grew some more. It was rare for Kali to call people her friend because Barbie was meant to be an independent cold content creator but it was clear to everyone that she was starting to warm up to the strangers she had been hanging out with more and more. Even Schlatt had admitted that he was surprised by the change in her, him saying he thought it was a good one.
"Now it's time to bring in a guest!" Austin finally spoke up, a smile audible on his face as he cut off the two content creators who had been going back and forwards. Kali tilted her head slightly because while she had learned about the show, she never heard about guests being brought on. She frowned a little.
"Pardon?" Kali said as she squinted slightly in confusion and then thought about what he had said. She wondered who would join the game and who the guest would be. Her mind zoomed all over the place and then her eyes widened again when she realized exactly who was about to be joining the show. "I swear to god Austin,"
"Everyone welcome JSchlatt!" Austin grinned cheerfully as he moved the man into the call with the last members of the show.
"I absolutely hate it here." Kali groaned as she ran a hand through her hair, glaring at the screen while JSchlatt's picture popped onto the screen, followed by his iconic laugh.
