until viewers started slowly to appear.

After sitting on her legs for some time, while looking at the laptop, which showed the camera view of her, and a part of her room, while on the right she could see empty chat, Berry contemplated...

"Is this actually going to work? What if nobody shows up? Will I then be **** to continue with those tasks on the app?" Berry didn't want to ask Shade about that yet, as she realized it was maybe too quickly to judge, but as time passed... she looked at the clock on her laptop. One minute. Three minutes. Five minutes. And still, her view count never changed from that "0". She started to look around her room, thinking about doing anything interesting to pass the time, when she noticed the change in the view count, and soon following her first-ever comment.

"Wow, you look amazing! Love the mask - so mysterious!" she read, and felt a sudden blush appearing on her face, although the mask did quite a good job of hiding it.

"O-oh... um... t-thanks..." she replied bashfully.

"What are you going to stream?" Her only viewer asked.

"Um... I... I was just thinking about, like, talking and stuff for now..."

"Maybe you should start by introducing yourself? Your stream title only says 'My first stream ever! Very nervous!'"

"Oh! Um..." It felt a little weird for Berry to talk to... a camera of her laptop, but maybe that was a good start, especially since there was still only one viewer. "My name is Berry..." she said, before even realizing how fast she answered that. If she wanted to try her identity, revealing her real name was a little... foolish. "I-um... I'm in a last class of a high school, yea, and I... um... like animals, like the cute ones, rabbits and cats and stuff... I... as you can hear... am a little shy and not that good at speaking to others, but I will try my best for the streams to be enjoyable... and I hope you will enjoy the, em, content you will see... since I will be doing a lot of streams that I'm shown on the camera, and yeah..." she began to introduce herself with a fidgety voice, while curling her hair with one finger. Her voice was all shaky and uneasy, but she knew she had to gain a sure audience, even if it was just a one person, if this was supposed to be her main source of energy. Looking around the room once more, she tried to come up with topics to speak of. "I... I started to stream because I wanted to... try something different, and you know, I saw this site and began to be interested in it, that's why I... um... set up an account and started immediately, you know. I... I hope you won't mind my personality..."

Berry looked at the ground, already embarrassed enough about having to introduce herself. She was never good at stuff like that, but it was a little easier to do than when they all had to speak their names and interests when the high school started. Then, she raised her head, and read the chat.

"Welcome to the community! You're killing it already <3"

"Great job, can't believe this is your first time streaming. So natural!"

"Amazing debut, definitely coming back for more."

"Hey cutie, welcome to the world of streaming! Can't wait to see more!"

"Damn, that mask makes me want to uncover what's hiding underneath…"

Berry blinked in surprise, as she realized the increase in views. There were already 13 people in her chat, and the number was steadily increasing! That made her feel a little hot inside, as she knew what kind of content she will have to view here... and yet, she got such an audience without even beginning to do anything... she felt a little hesitant about what will happen next.
