When Hyacinth comes home to her new apartment for the first time after a long day at university, it's to the sight of moving bots just finishing dropping off the last of her stuff and moving furniture into place. The full-immersion VR pod her parents gave her is safely hooked up in the pod room, her bed is in her bedroom, she has chairs and a desk and some bookshelves. Clothes are mostly still in boxes, waiting to be hung up in the closet. Holovid and a cozy chair occupy the living room. She doesn't have any food in the small kitchen yet.
Pirates and Evenstar join a VRMMO in the Troubleverse

"I, um. Mostly I watch... the edited down versions... rather than catching her stream directly... But same."
Hyacinth looks down at the floor.

Shifting so fast there's almost an audible pop, Hailey switches in, smirking and laughing.
"You adorable fucking dorks. So you both get off to the sexy darkling porn streamer. Is that a reason to blush hot enough to run a steam turbine?"
She shakes her head and grins.
five-ghost-shell
"Yes, let's. And when I said dorks, I was talking about Hya and Sable, by the way. She's been spluttering about that back in mindspace."
a-purple-flower
"Heee. Of course she is."
"So Hya's favorite of Ishaza's is the Under The Table series — it's a little older, before she really blew up. Do you know it?"
five-ghost-shell
"Ooh. That's definitely a fun series. We definitely caught that one. Also, we catch a lot of her daily life streams, used to keep them on in the background a lot."
five-ghost-shell
Hailey snickers and nods, blushing a bit herself. "Most of us are, at least a little bit. Sable is more than a little."
a-purple-flower
"Nice. I've got a lot of highlight clips downloaded myself. I find her daily life streams are usually too slow for me. Though I do tune in to her educational ones from time to time. I think my favorite was that one time where she demonstrated cunnlingus technique on a live model."
five-ghost-shell
"Oh that one was excellent." She grins. "The point, though, is that she's got a big resources section, and if we ask for help find kinky queer or plural potential partymates in Parcosia, we will get a bunch of sweet and helpful dorks excitedly reaching out, and probably some curated suggestions from mods in her community."
a-purple-flower
"Sounds like a great plan. Do it!"
She smirks. "And optionally some of the sweet and helpful dorks."
five-ghost-shell
"Aye aye."
Hailey flicks her fingers swiftly for a moment, and then a stream window appears, along with another for the chat. What's Ishaza up to on stream?

The stream is presently occupied by a "we'll be right back" buffer, behind which Ishaza can be seen sipping tea in the nude.
There is a thick sheaf of papers to the right of Ishaza, indicative of one of her better-researched rants.
Chat looks slow.
Common business practices in mainstream porn talent recruitment.
AchingHeart: I still can't believe how many cases there are of actors simply never getting paid
AchingHeart: even after putting their reputations on the line and everything
KissandTell: porn industry sucks ofc
KissandTell: not news imo, but go off
KissandTell: shaza does it better
Sacculina: What tea blend does Ishaza drink, anyone know?
Dragonfuckerxxx: check the wiki
Dragonfuckerxxx: a jasmine blend i think
Dragonfuckerxxx: it changes monthly
five-ghost-shell
Hailey shakes her head and laughs. "She has such good rants."
With a bit of mental typing, she messages the chat.
Hailey (Pirates 🏴☠️): It's "Ishaza calls the industry out" day again? Good shit. How're y'all?

Hailey (Pirates 🏴☠️): Currently just dating the one system.
Hailey (Pirates 🏴☠️): Also getting more active in CORA. Told Hya and Hibi we'd see if y'all could help us find compatible sorts to party up with.
