“Not quite,” said Emilia.

“Well, hurry up. This party’s about to be over,” Gia replied.

Emilia walked behind Mari and started slapping her unexpectedly-large backside. Marisa, for her part, let out a little whine every time her former victim’s hand made contact. “Ewww, look at it jiggle! Gross!” Blair said.

“Don’t think you’re getting out of this!” Daphne responded, and followed suit, reddening the backside that had been so recently been clad in star-studded blue bottoms.

Maddie focused on Addie, who had made humiliating her a personal vendetta.

Then Gia, and the three cosplayers that had been victimized by the Cosplay Beauty Society walked away, leaving the three stripped, spanked, and pied, as well as handcuffed to one of the convention center’s signposts. Gia stopped recording and took the camera with her. “Enjoy all your new subscribers, but, like the girl said, you might not want to read the comments!” Emilia and Daphne walked off without another word, but Maddie looked back, “Say hi to the police for us! Buh-bye!”

The members of CBS were found guilty of breaking several laws, not least public nudity, lewd behavior, and resisting arrest. Although they were each sentenced to thirty days of community service, their reputation in the cosplay community had hit rock bottom, and their channel had soared to popularity they never expected, but not in the way they wanted it.

After that con, CBS split up and went their separate ways. Blair had completely alienated Mari, who she felt had been deceiving her. Mari decided that she didn’t want to be part of a group with such narrow beauty standards. She settled into a career in marketing, and rarely throughout her career did people connect the professional woman with the viral video she was in.

Blair went on to a modeling career where it was well known she was a sheer terror, but the makeup artists and photographers she traumatized would go visit the video of CBS at the con. Although Blair had taken it down and eventually deleted the account, it had been downloaded and archived by several watchers, and was making its way around the less savory places on the internet even before Blair had become famous.

Addie also went into a kind of modeling, or should we say, acting. She ranged from hardcore pornography to superheroine fetish, and the viral popularity of the CBS video helped launch her career.

Emilia continued cosplaying in spite of what happened, and is now a successful concert violinist. Daphne works in IT for a major internet startup, and Maddie is attending law school at Yale.

Gia is still acting and modeling. She kept all the videos that were on the camera, and though she never shared them beyond that infamous live feed, she takes private viewings that she greatly enjoys. She never quite crosses paths with Blair in her fitness modeling, although they were both scheduled to be at the same event once. Blair called in sick.
