A laugh and a quest completed

We enter the streaming room. Now a mess of a chachkies, bits and bobs. Plushies that had not been there before, insulating foam covered by loose cloth, disguised as drapes for extra acoustic dampening. Prints of the quick drawings I had made and sent to Robin were printed and framed. Hints as to what was about to happen. I can definitely play with these. I put a Bluetooth earbud in, mask on, and inside the beak, I hide a small mic meant to be placed on the lapel of a shirt. We do a sound check in part for the future. But also in case I wanted to talk now. There was a small echo, but it gave a cool effect. I would need to consider whether I wanted to keep it. I put on long black gloves as the stream started.

I waited off camera. Robin started the stream. "Hello, people, how are we? No one ill?" The chat scrolls by most people saying good. Some said definitely not ill. Then a single person said they were ill. "Wait, BarnicleBro6920, you are ill? What are your symptoms?" Robin says as I creep in camera behind them, quizically. Tilting my head side to side, holding a hand demonstratively up to my ear. Robin lists the symptoms, and I nod along and make notes on a notepad. The chat noticed me moving in the background and started asking who or what it was. Robin looks back and responds. "Oh, that is, Peter the Bird, have you forgotten he was here last Monday? He will be returning every Friday from now on. If you don't like him, we can ask him not to come back, but for now, give him a chance."

The chat roared in a kind of celebration to have a recurring guest, another person to pester. "I wonder if Peter will speak," a TTS message came in. I heard it loud and clear through the earbud and shrugged. Another followed up: "He is your partner, right?" I was still standing and hugged Robin from behind and nodded. "How much can he even see with that mask?" I thought for a moment. Looked at my notebook in my hand originally meant to put in my recipes. No, that will not work. Robin hands me a dry-erase board. I decide to write on it, 'ENOUGH TO SEE YOU'. "So you are not going to speak?" I erase what I had written there and write instead, 'Maybe if you ask nicely!' These donations had been more than Robin had spent all day; somehow, in a few moments, we had made back all the money we had spent on the new setup. Not because the barrier to TTS was high, but because they liked the interaction. "Pretty please, Peter, say something."

I responded in a voice mimicking a corvid. "Good boy", the beak enhanced the high notes and made the acoustic so much better than I had imagined during the mic test. The chat was full with 'he spoke =D', 'he spoke : O ', or some variation of that, but with a different emoji. This filled me with some satisfaction. Somehow my introduction was taking alone already taking more than 30 minutes.

Robin's phone buzzed almost imperceptibly and glowed. I glanced over to it. Robin hadn't noticed. They continue with the stream, not looking at it. I try to get them to do a twirl for the audience by having them stand up in a small dance. I leaned in as if to kiss them, and they obliged, kissing me on the beak. I lift them back up and emphasise the dress. And whisper as best I can in the crow voice, "Who?" The chat repeated what I said. I put my finger to Robin's lips. "Last time we did a game where they had to ask questions to find an answer. If they actually want it now, why don't they play the same game now?" This put the chat in a mood that was both jubilant and more cautious.

TTS became the main way to ask questions, as people with lots of channel points and money to splurge dominated, but others made suggestions for questions. The first was actually smart. "Is it a custom piece made for you?" With yes being the answer, people quickly went to the question do we know the person. But other TTS had been queued up beforehand, all of which were questions about either brands or if it was available for commercial buying. All of which received a no. The next useful one mimicked the herd consensus of asking if someone we know made it. The answer was yes. The next question was coincidentally useful. "Did a famous person make it?" I don't think so. I deliberately loosen the poker face that was ever so easy with this mask on by looking up at the ceiling for a moment. Here and there, a person caught it. I knew there were only a few reasonable questions that were available: "Did a mod make it?", "Did you make it?", and finally "Did Peter make it?" The only one receiving a positive answer was Did Peter make it. People start complimenting it, how well-made it is, that it looks like a pro made it and that Robin looks really feminine in it, which suits them. Resulting in them blushing. I stand there super proud, for two reasons: people complementing my work, and forcing the completion of a quest in 10 minutes by combining a few quests.

"Peter thought I would look good in these, so he made them. He has a few other dresses planned for me if you are interested in them. Be on the lookout. He will not always be here to **** me to show them off. So you guys keep me honest." Robin tells them with a smile on their face. The innate distrust of their original gender and the **** of the femininity perk are pushing her to love these compliments more.

"How many does he have planned?" Came in with a decent amount of money attached. I started counting on my fingers dramatically up to six and then pointed to myself. "So, six and a better outfit for yourself?" I give a great nod. I have to milk it for now, whilst I am still new and interesting, I suppose. "Do you guys have sketches done?" Instead of answering, I look to the background. "If you don't want to answer, say so, coward!" I pointed at the camera and placed my hands in front of my eyes. "Wait, we are blind? We know you can talk; stop playing charades."

"Talking when I don't feel like it or need to. Ha, ptoi, buldercosh, hogwash, such nonsense." I say in response, letting them stew on the blind comment until someone spots it. 'There are sketches in the background,' as it gets said, I grab the one for the dress Robin is currently wearing. I point at it and then to Robin.

"Would you be willing to make patterns available?" A TTS came through.

I nod pensively, thinking. "I am not sure how we would or where. I haven't drawn it up yet, but it is easy enough to do. I will take it into consideration for all the dresses." This corvid voice is grating on my voice; I should be careful how often I use it.

"Why don't you talk all the time?" I rub my throat. "Then why not use a voice changer or something other than your actual voice?" I just shrugged, followed by a tap on my wrist as if to point at a watch. This time left us with only an hour to twelve with more money than Robin had made in their entire career due to a dumb game and, oddly enough, a limited verbal guest.

"Let's play a game now," Robin says, wanting to move away from me for a moment. "Jackbox again." I give a nod as we start a game. Me playing with a stylus because of the glove. Starting with fibage, followed by quiplash and ending with a small conversation at the end. The viewers seemed happy, and Robin was as well.

A moment after the tension of the stream had ended, peace returned. I speak up: "So happy, how did you feel about it? Did I direct too much?"

"No, for a second time this was great, better than great, fantastic. They loved you, and your control of their attention was perfect. You made sure I kept moving, and when I needed to ramp down and shift attention, you followed my lead almost instinctually. It was great. The ill bit was a great way to introduce you again was fun. We seriously need to consider selling the patterns, by the way. I might make a store for it or open something like a Patreon for it."

"OnlyFans, but instead of nudes, it is dress and clothing patterns. Using only fans for what OnlyFans used to be for."

"That might actually be funny. Include a few dumb candid pics of you in a full plague doctor suit once it is done. Would add to the joke value of the OF. I might actually do it. I wouldn't need to say it is for adults since it is only dress patterns and dumb candid pics."

"What if we ever want to add things like underwear designs. I have a dumb one in mind." I sketch on my phone a plague doctor based underwear with the nose actually being outside for dick storage.

"This is dumb enough to say yeah, we should include it if we do. But let's sleep on it and maybe show a draft of the dumb idea to Katrien and Chantal, okay?"

"Don't forget to check the message you got before you go to bed," I say, leaving them behind. I open the app. Everyone had completed their quests except for Madelon and Tim, and to my surprise, I could even give Robin a new quest. I give everyone new quests along the lines I had given them before, I would say, but I needed to fish for the wealthy perk for Chantal and Katrien. Lilliana had gotten closer to Tim again, I guess. I would need to ask Madelon to look into that. But for now, progressing along the lines I had seemed good. A new referral had been made with the same last name as Lilliana, and she had asked that person to be her deferred quest giver. There was also a deferred quest for Tim from her.

Tim will receive the following deferred quest from Lilliana:

• Masturbate using fingers up your asshole for at least 10 minutes.
• Shave yourself all over.
• Let Lilliana change all your passwords to things she wants them to be.

Reward: Perk [Submissiveness I]

Heck yeah, I want him to do these things. Wait, she might know about the chastity cage, his class. Best case scenario, she is the keyholder, then I can mess with Tim from two angles. I need to quickly make a quest for her. She can be aware of this, I guess.

Lilliana will receive the following quest:

• Brag to all of Tim's victims about your current relationship.
• Step in poop before meeting Tim again, and have him clean it.
• Bring stuff to Tim's place to make him orgasm anally

Select reward:

• perk [Dominance I]
• Tim's receives perk [Masochist I]
• perk [Sadist I]

Well, I think the first is the best for her, but I think the last is better for me. The perk for Tim is off the table; it will increase the pleasure from his humiliation. I don't want that. Weighing my options, I take Sadist as an investment.

Sophie will receive the following quest:

• Hang out with Lilliana.
• Work out for at least an hour.
• Cook and share a whole meal.

Select Reward:

• perk [Training Efficiency I]
• perk [Cooking I]
• Better relationship with Lilliana

For new targets, I dislike perks, so let's go with the better relationship. That is a thing I want anyway.

Chantal will receive the following quest:

• Invest money in stocks you like.
• Dig through your items for valuables and sell them.
• Make a business plan for Robin's channels.

Select reward: Perk [Wealthy I]

I spot" Wealthy I" as the option and select it before I can read the rest. None of the others matters; that is why I gave this quest.

Katrien will receive the following quest:

• Negotiate with the boss for a raise.
• Haggle over something valuable.
• Trade an egg for something more valuable.

Select reward:

• perk [Negotiation I]
• A significant pay raise.
• A promotion with a significant pay raise.

Two and three are almost the same, the promotion would be nice, I guess.... The perk, however, is also appealing. Sadly, I can't exit the quest screen if it's considered a reasonable quest to fish for the rewards I want. I will just grab the promotion; it would help them do whatever they want.

Robin will receive the following quest:

• Dress up for the double date with your sister.
• Dress Pieter up for the double date with your sister.
• Do a practice walk in front of people you trust.

Select reward:

• perk [Modelling I]
• Femininity I -> Femininity II
• The clothes you pick will always fit perfectly.

Okay, I would love to select the second one, but... the first is also appealing. It might help with streaming. Yeah, modelling it is. I look over their profile to see what was added. Only body confidence... Wait, what did that again?

Body Confidence I: Makes you less self-conscious concerning your body. Hidden: Small compulsion to dress in skimpy clothes

Could have been worse, a lot worse. I wonder what she will pick with this perk active, though. My deferred quest is also off cooldown. What do I want them to do?

Robin will receive the following deferred quest:

• Make a move on Pieter.
• Buy lingerie.
• Do at least three public displays of affection.

Select reward:

• Perk [Service I]
• Body Confidence I -> Body Confidence II
• perk [Exhibitionist I]

Nahh on the last. The first perk I should have checked, but I didn't. I don't trust it for now. Let's grab the body confidence upgrade, and check the Service perk.

Service I: Improves recognition of the needs of others. Hidden: doing deeds of service increases pleasure.
