Helpless — After semiohazard overexposure, an agent’s attachment to their avatar dissolves and their blackroom exposes, a process called abstraction. These open holes in the noosciocircus simulation spill potentially hazardous memories and emotion from the abstracted agent’s mind. Caine stores them in the cellar, a stimulus-free and infoproofed zone that calms the abstracted and nullifies emitted hazards. He genuinely cares about the inserted, but after only being able to do damage control for a continually deteriorating situation, the weight of his failure is beginning to weigh on him in a way he did not get to learn how to express.

Writing an oc that's a streamer?

Writing Notes: Streamer Characters

Live Streamer

Also livestreamer or online streamer

Someone who makes videos that show them playing computer games, talking about products, or doing other activities, and streams them (i.e., puts them on the internet) at the same time as they are being made.

An individual who broadcasts real-time video content over the internet, engaging with an audience through online platforms.

Transmits live or on-demand audio or video content while users listen or watch.

Livestreams are deployed over various platforms, including social media platforms like YouTube Live, Facebook Live, Twitter, Instagram Live, and TikTok, as well as through professional business services, such as Kaltura and Dacast.

Unlike pre-recorded videos, live streams occur in the moment, allowing viewers to interact with the streamer through chat functions and other interactive features.

This immediacy creates a dynamic and engaging experience for both the streamer and the audience.

Live streamers cover a wide range of content:

playing video games,

hosting talk shows,

conducting interviews,

cooking,

crafting, and

live vlogging daily activities.

The versatility of live streaming content means that streamers can find their niche and build a community around shared interests.

Successful live streamers often cultivate a loyal following by maintaining a consistent streaming schedule, engaging directly with their viewers, and creating a sense of community.

What your Character does as a Live Streamer

Content Creation: Live streamers plan, prepare, and execute engaging live broadcasts. They choose topics or activities that resonate with their audience, maintain a consistent streaming schedule, and ensure that their content is entertaining and relevant to their viewers.

Audience Interaction: Interacting with viewers in real-time is a key responsibility. Streamers engage through live chat, responding to comments, questions, and feedback during the stream. They foster a sense of community by acknowledging and involving their audience, using interactive features like polls, Q&A sessions, and shout-outs to enhance viewer engagement.

Technical Management: Managing technical aspects is crucial to a successful stream. This includes setting up and maintaining streaming equipment such as cameras, microphones, lighting, and streaming software. Streamers must ensure a stable internet connection, troubleshoot technical issues promptly, and optimize stream quality to deliver a seamless viewing experience.

Monetization: Monetizing their channels is an important aspect for many streamers. This can involve receiving viewer donations, earning subscriptions (e.g., Twitch subscriptions), securing sponsorships and partnerships with brands, and generating revenue through advertising. Streamers may also leverage merchandise sales, affiliate marketing, or exclusive content to diversify their income streams.

Community Building: Building and nurturing a community around their content is essential. Streamers cultivate a loyal following by creating a welcoming environment, engaging with viewers regularly, and participating in community events or collaborations. They may also moderate chat and ensure a positive and inclusive atmosphere during streams.

Continuous Improvement: Successful streamers constantly strive to improve their content and grow their audience. They analyze viewer analytics to understand audience preferences and trends, experiment with new content formats or streaming techniques, and stay updated with industry trends and platform changes to maintain relevance and competitiveness in the streaming space.

What Type of Live Streamer is your Character?

Live streamers can be categorized into various types based on the content they stream and the communities they engage with. Here are some common types:

Gaming Streamers: Gaming streamers focus on playing and broadcasting video games live to their audience. They may specialize in specific genres such as first-person shooters, role-playing games, or multiplayer online battle arenas (MOBAs). Gaming streamers entertain viewers with their gameplay skills, commentary, and interactions with their audience through live chat.

IRL (In Real Life) Streamers: IRL streamers share their real-life experiences and activities in real-time. They broadcast everyday activities such as traveling, exploring new places, attending events, or participating in challenges. IRL streamers often engage their audience by interacting with them while showcasing their daily routines or special events happening in their lives.

Talk Show and Podcast Streamers: Talk show and podcast streamers host live discussions, interviews, or debates on various topics of interest. They invite guests or panelists to join their streams, engaging with them and their audience through insightful conversations and debates. Talk show streamers may cover topics ranging from politics and current events to pop culture and entertainment.

Creative Streamers: Creative streamers focus on showcasing their artistic talents and skills live. They create art, music, crafts, or digital designs while interacting with their audience. Creative streamers often provide tutorials, share their creative process, and take viewer suggestions or requests for their next project.

Music Streamers: Music streamers perform live music sessions, DJ sets, or music production sessions for their audience. They may cover popular songs, perform original compositions, or engage in interactive music creation with their viewers. Music streamers often use platforms that allow them to receive song requests and interact with their audience in real-time.

Fitness and Sports Streamers: Fitness and sports streamers broadcast live workouts, training sessions, or sports events. They provide exercise routines, fitness tips, and motivation to their audience while demonstrating exercises or participating in sports activities. Fitness streamers may also engage in challenges or competitions with their viewers.

Educational Streamers: Educational streamers conduct live tutorials, lectures, or workshops on topics such as science, technology, languages, or academic subjects.

Cooking Streamers: Cooking streamers broadcast live cooking sessions where they prepare recipes, share cooking tips, and engage with their audience while demonstrating culinary techniques. They may also take viewer suggestions for recipes or cooking challenges, creating a community around food and culinary arts.

What Would your Character's Workplace Look Like?

The workplace of a live streamer is typically centered around creating a conducive environment for broadcasting engaging and interactive content.

Unlike traditional office settings, live streamers often work from home or a dedicated studio space that they have set up for streaming purposes.

This space is vital for maintaining control over the streaming setup and creating a comfortable atmosphere conducive to content creation.

At home, live streamers often have a designated area or room where they set up their streaming equipment.

This might include a high-quality camera, microphone, lighting rigs, and a powerful computer or gaming console capable of handling streaming software and gameplay simultaneously.

The setup is tailored to their specific streaming needs, ensuring optimal audiovisual quality and reliability during broadcasts.

Beyond the physical setup, the digital workspace of a live streamer involves managing streaming software, interacting with viewers through chat functions, and monitoring analytics in real-time.

This requires multitasking skills to engage with the audience while focusing on gameplay, discussion topics, or other content being streamed.

Streamers also use this digital space to collaborate with moderators, manage community interactions, and coordinate special events or collaborations with other content creators.

Some Streaming Strategies your Character Could Use

Makes their livestream unique

Focuses on their livestream audience’s needs

Surprises their livestream audience

Promotes their livestream

Interacts with their viewers

Tells viewers what to do at the end of a livestream (e.g., see more content, attend an event)

CAREER AND ASTROLOGY

I've found it is easy to see people's inclinations in terms of future careers in birthcharts. Most people would look at the MC. But I'm here to tell you that is wrong. Or at least, possibly could. I'm going to explain. In the past, there wasn't things as careers. Most kids inherited their parent's jobs and the ones who could afford it, turned to hobbies like writing, philosophy and etc. As so, people would be known by their "job" (even if they didn't make a living out of it like a lot of writers and philosophers from the past).

This could also take another turn. There are the money houses and then there is the 10th house. The 10th house isn't a money house, it is the service you give to society, (again another thing you would be known for). But lately we have associated this house with career, as now it is something we give back to community (since if nobody worked, society would stop working). So if you want you can also take a look at your 10th house.

The 2nd house is mostly associated with money and resources. So we are going to mostly look at that house and also at the chart ruler (planet that rules your ascendant).

Note: I would like to point out there are other money houses: the 5th (money won from contests, bets, gambles, etc) , 8th (money from other people, like inheritances, taxes, borrowed) , and 11th (gains from profession)

2nd house/10th house/ascendant's ruler in 1st house or in Aries

entrepreneur, freelancer, actor or model, coach or mentor, personal trainer (especially if mars is exalted), public figure, activist, politician

2nd house/10th house/ascendant's ruler in 2nd house or in taurus

banker, florist, farming, singer, voice actor, real estate, chef, artisan, financial advisor, retail, luxury goods, sales, jeweller,

2nd house/10th house/ascendant's ruler in 7th house

lawyer, mediator, diplomat, therapist, consult, counselor, business coach, pr specialist, brand ambassador, wedding planner, matchmaker, Artist manager/agent, something to do with clients one-to-one

Game Spotlight #20: Ristar (1995)

It's spotlight time! Ash returns to writing about games after a period spent writing about anime with a look at one of Sega's most underrated games. Been looking for something to play lately? Read on to find out why Ristar is well worth your time, with a healthy dose of historical context to boot!

The 90s were an incredibly turbulent period for the burgeoning video game industry with so many fascinating subjects to examine. We previously touched on one such story, the situation Sega found themselves in by 1998, in our spotlight on Burning Rangers (which you can read here), and in my opinion no company singularly embodies that era of industry turbulence quite like Sega does. Its rise and fall (and rise again) is a pretty spectacular story chock full of visionaries, internal company culture clashes, iconic celebrity partnerships and incredible hardware and software that reaches its zenith in this period, setting the stage for the company's trajectory in the new millennium.

One of the signature elements of this period of gaming is the idea of a mascot character, which really takes off in the wake of the breakout success of multiple Nintendo characters. Mascots serve to create brand identity and grab consumer attention in a sea of ever-expanding game options and while certainly not originating here, it is the fourth generation (lasting roughly from 1987 to 1995) that sees the biggest and most impactful utilization of this trend.

In the middle of a legendary run of arcade titles largely spearheaded by designer Yu Suzuki, Sega releases Sonic the Hedghog in 1991 on the Genesis to almost immediate smash success, ushering in an unprecedented level of home console success. The release of Sonic the Hedgehog, which may seem like a happy accident that just so happened to catch on in an era where video game development time frames were incredibly short and undertaken by very small teams, is anything but a coincidence and that that feeling of the immediacy of its success is a public-facing obfuscation of just how finely tuned the concept and design were.

To understand the story of Sonic the Hedgehog and by extension Ristar, we have to go all the way back to 1990 to one of the most fortuitous events in Sega's history in the holding of an internal design contest with the goal of creating an iconic mascot character that can rival and hopefully even dethrone Nintendo's Mario, and it is this design competition that ultimately results in the release of Yuji Naka's two-button action game Sonic the Hedgehog, specifically designed to stand in contrast to Super Mario Bros. in almost every way, a year later.

But it may come as a surprise to you that Sonic was not the character or gameplay hook that originally lead this design contest, with the earliest idea in the gestation period for what became Sonic the Hedgehog actually being a rabbit-like character that could grab things with his ears. This concept was tinkered with and refined until it took shape into the company-defining Sonic the Hedgehog, with the original idea losing priority until its 1995 release.

It's important to understand that the Sega of 1995 is in a radically different position than they entered the decade with. Iterating too frequently on hardware with peripheral upgrades that had short lifespan and minimal support has shaken consumer confidence. Sonic the Hedgehog has spanned a whole family of sequels and spinoffs, and would enter a period of relative dormancy until the end of the decade. Just as well, a notorious division in company culture between Sega of America and Sega of Japan threatens to bubble over just as Sony looks to finally make its presence felt with the upcoming release of the Playstation.

Sega, who at one point managed to wrest a staggering 65% of the western home console market share in 1992, is a star that has begun to fade by 1995. It is this position, in the dying days of the fourth generation of video game consoles, that Sega decides to look to its past in an attempt to secure its future by pushing ahead on the original concept that was ultimately reworked into Sonic the Hedgehog.

Beginning its renewed development cycle as a prototype called 'Feel', its lead character at the time even bearing striking resemblance to a rabbit with large protrusions resembling ears before being reworked into an anthropomorphized star in the finished product, Ristar maintains much of the core of its identity from the earliest days of 1990's internal design competition and showcases just how much Sega has grown as a company since then. Ristar, much like Sonic the Hedgehog, is a two-button platformer from a company that now has a portfolio of unprecedented success in the genre, and they've managed to make a significantly more sophisticated game this time around.

Unlike Sonic, which sees its lead character running mostly from right to left and bounce on enemies or spin through them across the ground to defeat them, Ristar is able to extend his arms to grab in eight directions (six of which on the ground, eight of which in the air). This ability to grab things can be used to intercept and forcefully slam into enemies as well as holding onto things to help traverse levels. Traversal itself is often surprising in its utilization of Ristar's grabbing gimmick with plenty of levels featuring segments where you must chain grabs to swing through the air or to flip under platforms in a manner reminiscent of earlier Genesis heavy-hitter Comix Zone (1995).

Ristar is definitely a more complex game than Sonic the Hedgehog, and this can make for a sometimes uneven difficulty curve across the game. It's shockingly fair for a game of this era and allows you to take a surprising number of hits before losing a life with many difficult segments followed by health restoring pickups or additional lives. Its level design feels much less antagonistic than Sonic the Hedgehog (particularly the original game) which can at times feel downright diabolical. Even Ristar's water level, which are notorious for being huge pains across the video game pantheon, is incredibly tame and forgiving. There is definitely a good bit of difficulty to be found however and you'll likely find yourself needing to practice the mechanics more thoroughly by the third world which happens to feature a memory game mini boss that was way harder than it had any right to be as someone who suffers from pretty severe ADHD.

The manner in which Ristar defeats enemies, namely by intercepting, grabbing and slamming into them, makes for tense and active boss fights (one of which, a robotic mole in the third world, feels conceptually like something straight out of Sonic and is my vote for perhaps the best boss battle on the Genesis), and sees you managing a delicate balancing act between offense and defense that's much more tense than what is standard in Sonic the Hedgehog and it's impressive just how thoroughly the gimmick has been fully incorporated into the game, its anthropomorphic star character even traveling to differently-themed planets through beautifully animated level transitions after launching into space which is thematically very clever.

On that note, Ristar consistently wows in the visual and audio department. Sega, now with plenty of experience developing a series of astoundingly successful platformers, has amassed a really stellar collection of creatives that would be something of a look into Sega's future with the inclusion of Yuji Uekawa (character designer for Ristar and the man who would be responsible for the character designer and art director for Sonic titles going forward) and composer Tomoko Sasaki (who would go on to do the music for Saturn-era Nights into Dreams…).

Ristar has all the cuteness and attitude one would expect given Uekawa's involvement and it's wrapped in an overall aesthetic that is steeped in much of the same style that is reminiscent of Sonic the Hedgehog 2 (1992) and Sonic CD (1993), with plenty of zig-zagging colorful borders and significantly more detailed levels that see far more impressive and detailed sprite work and even a huge uptick in animation for both the game's levels and Ristar himself, even managing to give him unique idle animations depending on which world you're in as well as reacting to certain things such as bashing certain trees in the game's first world. There's a lot of impressive graphical effects that set Ristar head and shoulders above Sonic the Hedgehog visually, and it even experiments with some complicated lighting effects and some pseudo 3D effects unlike much else I've seen on the Genesis.

Perhaps nowhere is the maturation of Sega felt more than in Tomoko Sasaki's score for the game. Gone are the days of Masato Nakamura of Dreams Come True fame adapting some of their songs to the Genesis as well as contributions by Michael Jackson, with Tomoko Sasaki's work encompassing a sound all its own. Complex layering of audio channels and even plenty of vocal samples (including an unmistakable sample from Kurtis Blow that pops up in Sonic CD as well) alongside really unique compositions that sees world leitmotifs built upon make for a really enjoyable listen, and plenty of the songs have been stuck in my head long after having heard them for the first time. Tomoko Sasaki's incredible score shines brightly through the whole experience, even getting a music-related boss to really highlight her work. There's even a cleverly implemented sound test for players to enjoy Sasaki's work which you will certainly want to spend some time admiring.

With so much positive to say about Ristar there are unfortunately also a few pain points, many of which come in the form of changes made between regional releases. Whereas some of of them are changes to the names of the game's planets or graphical changes such as the boss of the fifth world being changed from a mechanical cat to a nondescript mechanical monster, there are some more serious changes which often go unmentioned when talking about the game. The mini boss of the fourth world has its telegraphing of its attack removed in the western release, for one.

Just as well, the story of the game is also heavily altered from the original Japanese release in the west with the omission of star goddess Oruto, addition of a text crawl narration into the game's opening that instead mentions an otherwise almost entirely unseen western-exclusive character of Ristar's father. The aforementioned fifth world also gets an additional introduction skiing scene very much reminiscent of Sonic the Hedgehog 3's (1994) Ice Cap Zone snowboarding segment.

Ristar, I think, is a better game individually than any of Sonic's Genesis outings which is no small praise coming from someone who has spent most of their life completely obsessed with the series. I would even go as far as to say it might be the best game on the entire Genesis platform. It is stylistically impressive and tightly designed with satisfying mechanics alongside strong visuals and music without having to rely on external, non-Sega talent which is very emblematic of the company's maturation. While the game speed is slower than Sonic titles, the complexity means there's often less downtime and more decision making minute to minute especially against the game's bosses.

The game released to little fanfare and mediocre sales however, reflecting the late-life Genesis losing the attention of consumers who had largely turned their imagination towards the next hardware generation - Sega's Saturn, the true next generation followup to the Genesis, had seen a release in Japan several months before Ristar hit store shelves in any territory for example.

That Ristar has largely faded from our collective memory and only rarely seen rereleases in the three decades since its original debut is a tragedy. It's also certainly not what anyone who worked on the game hoped or expected - there's even a sequel teased in an easter egg buried in the game's password system that is especially heartbreaking with the benefit of hindsight knowing it would never come to pass. Just like the other games we've given the spotlight treatment to so far it's precisely the sort of game that this blog intends to showcase and I'm glad to have the honor of having written about it to help keep that torch burning.

Of the games we've spotlighted so far, Ristar is certainly one of the easiest to get hands on with yourself, and I urge you to give it a chance for yourself. Hopefully you'll come away from it seeing why we have such high praise for it and enjoy it even half as much as we do.

A gem hidden among the stones, Ristar is undoubtedly stardust.

[fuck-customers]

Last year I worked at a small student led handicraft store run by my university and it was originally supposed to be a temporary pop-up run by the lecturers who led the events management course. It was the best job I’d ever had - which isn’t saying much because every other job I’ve had has been horrendous and traumatising in ways I can’t even describe - so of course I was overjoyed when they told us they were extending our temporary contracts by a year and keeping the shop open indefinitely.

At that point things started going downhill. The uni stopped promoting the shop at all so our customer numbers dropped dramatically, and the uni’s PR department refused to let us utilise the shop’s social media page despite asking one of the employees to manage the social media and making her take on extra hours. They refused to make the necessary changes in order to make it the permanent storefront they envisioned - All our bookkeeping for every single purchase had to be written in a paper ledger and then copied and reformatted into a dozen different stock and accounting spreadsheets on a laptop, for every single individual item in each sale, before we could take payment, because they refused to pay for software that would automate it, so a single transaction could take anywhere between 5-20 minutes depending on what the person was buying. Many customers ended up getting frustrated and just walked off.

We started haemorrhaging stockists as the uni didn’t pay them fairly or on time, despite pestering from both stockists and floor staff. Even now, nearly 6 months after the whole thing shut down, some stockists still haven’t been paid. The uni took such a huge amount of commission from each sale (nearly 3 times the industry standard!) that the stockists making products couldn’t afford to pay themselves fairly without doubling or tripling the prices of their work, which fucked up their sales. Most people didn’t even earn enough to cover production costs for their work.

I was maybe the only person on the entire staff who actually had any significant retail and customer facing experience, having worked in the fast food and retail industries for ~4 years before I started at the shop, and it was abysmal. The events management faculty who were supposed to be running it had no customer facing experience and did nothing to help when problems came up - they treated it like a temporary event rather than a permanent shopfront and we had so little support and oversight it was awful. We had to take on full management responsibility despite it being well above our pay grade because they refused to hire an experienced manager or supervisor - while trying to man the store we would also have to do admin, liaise with clients and stockists, accounting, stock input, paying for essential supplies with our own money because the Uni refused to approve them, organising our own shifts and pay, making social media content, and arranging cover for if someone was ill or had an emergency. Instead of any reasonable support they sent us a horribly overworked postgrad intern who was working between 5-6 different departments and could only actually be in the store maybe one hour a month, had no idea what she was doing, and was so overworked that she eventually had a breakdown and quit.

This issue was compounded because they’d only ever let us put two employees on each shift - they refused to pay enough for staff numbers above that despite being so busy in the first few months that we couldn’t keep up, and told us that for safety reasons both employees had to be there to open the shop- so if somebody was late or didn’t show up the other person wouldn’t be able to work either. If one person was on a double shift and the second person’s replacement for second shift wasn’t on time, the person on the double wouldn’t be able to leave for a lunch break, and the person on the single would have to stay extra time. There were several employees that would spend the entire shift doing fuck all - one guy was at least two hours late every single shift, and bought his XBOX with him every time, and spent the entire time he was working with his feet propped up on the counter playing GTA. The university genuinely didn’t care about the shop or its success enough to even give him a disciplinary.

It was awful, especially because there were a small group of us who were both stockists and floor staff, and were genuinely invested in the shop’s success. But our contracts ran till the end of the academic year, and the pay was really decent compared to a lot of jobs in the area, and it was stable and above minimum wage, so we (the staff) really did try to make it work, but we were set up to fail. Eventually we were barely making a sale a day, and then it dropped to a sale a week.

When they closed the shop, right before the end of the semester when people’s rent would be due, they gave us 10 days’ notice - which went against our contract - and no redundancy pay. Most people had had shifts for the next 8-9 weeks already scheduled, which we never got to work. We never got our holiday pay or the Christmas bonus they’d promised us 9 months prior. It was such short notice that several people couldn’t find new jobs in time, couldn’t scrape enough together to pay their bills and rent on time, and they didn’t even have the decency to tell us we were losing our jobs in person - they sent out a single email to one of the girls who helped organise shifts, and she had to post it in the staff group chat.

And the sad thing? It was still the best, least stressful job I’ve ever had. It was the only job I’ve had that didnt actually make me want to die. I miss it like hell. It was the only job I’ve had that paid me above the legal minimum wage. I’m physically disabled, and it was the only job I’ve ever had that actually followed through on the reasonable adjustments and disability accommodations they’d promised me.

But the way it was run it wasn’t fair or sustainable , and it shouldn’t have ended the way it did.

synopsis: what happens when the daughter of the CEO of a major film company and the son of the president of a successful food company move in next door?

episode 2: cats holding banners

(italic writing is yn's thoughts)

Taboba had been y/n's absolute favourite boba shop in Seoul, she first discovered it while she was studying abroad. Upon returning home she found out there was ONE outlet in Seoul, which was conveniently just a 10 minute drive from her parents house. But, they were closing down and she was moving to a different part of Seoul, half an hour away from the shop.

Growing up as the daughter of a big-shot movie producer, she was privileged enough to live in one of the expensive neighbourhoods of Seoul, in a big house over-looking the Han river. And though it was true that she was to eventually take over the company her parents wanted her to pave her own way and make her own name in the industry. Granted her heritage would certainly give her a boost in popularity.

She decided one of the first steps to make her own way would be to move into her own space and live by herself. So with the help of friends and family she chose a penthouse apartment for herself in Gangam and bought it (cus wth is rent when ur rich). But thats all irrelevant right now because she's not moving there for another week. Right now what's important is that she just parked her car outside the new boba shop that opened near her new apartment.

Bobobble.

It's a cute name even she cant deny that. She hopes with every atom of her body that the boba is good too. It was also owned by SeoulFoods, a company that sponsored most of SilverWoods' shows and movies, and also catered for their events.

The issue isn't bad boba, the issue is being as good as or topping taboba boba.

Stepping inside, the cafe looked like any other, it was simple, with mood lighting, wooden floors and comfy looking leather seats. But there was one recurring theme. Cats. It wasn't a cat cafe, yet, cute pictures of cats doing stupid things were hung up on the walls, the bookshelf was shaped like a cat, the little plant pots on the table were cats that looked like they had leaves growing out of their heads. Overall, a-lot of cats.

Y/N made her way to the counter and luckily didn't have to wait too long considering it was 11 AM and everyone was either at work or at school, no long lines. She greeted the barista and placed her order, payed for her drink and then chose a table by the window. Good for working and people watching.

Y/n's first mistake today was forgetting her laptop charger at home, but she was already on the highway when she realised and couldn't turn back even if she wanted. Now the question was if her laptop was already charged or if she would open it and it would die in the middle of her editing a scene.

79%. Not bad, good enough to edit at least one scene. She started opening the softwares she needed to work and got started.

Soon enough her drink arrived, paired with a slice of cheesecake. Wait... Cheesecake? YN hadn't ordered any. Her original plan had been to have her drink and order a sandwich if she got hungry a while into working.

Maybe I should ask the server. Luckily for her he was walking by after serving another order.

"Um, excuse me?" She called out.

"Yes, ma'am"

"Uh, I only ordered a drink, i was served cheesecake as well are you sure it isn't someone else's?"

"Ah, yes, it's on the house, our manager said there's a newcomer gift for today, and since it's your first time visiting Bobobble, you qualify for it!"

"Ohh, I see, well um thank you so much!"

"No, problem ma'am, enjoy your meal!"

Newcomer gifts huh? Lets hope this boba is also good because so far I'm liking this place.

YN reached for her cup of bubble tea and immediately noticed logo. A cat holding a banner that said bobobble. Omg cute pls be good i want to come back here.

Bringing the straw to her lips, she took and sip and...

"Holy shit" She whispered to herself.

Looks like bobobble just gained a new and very loyal customer.

In the break room, a barista sat with their phone in front of them, voice recording app open.

"Dear diary, today the owners son Taesan came to overlook the store. He's a chill guy around my age but he's generally pretty quiet. Anyways, around 11 AM a girl walked in with her laptop bag and stuff, she ordered her drink and sat down then started working on whatever it was that she was working on, she was pretty nice but thats not the point

"the issue here is that when i was going to serve her drink, Taesan told me to take some cheesecake for her and tell her it was on the house as a welcome gift for her first time here. I didnt know we were doing one of those so it was news to me but i didn't question it.

"HOWEVER, later another girl came in and i had never seen her before so as i was taking a slice of free cheesecake out for her Taesan stopped me and said he changed his mind? so no more free cheesecake for new people? idk man. my guess is that he thought the other girl was cute. ig we'll just have to wait and see, anyways my break is ending so ill finish this at night when im home"

a/n: pls tell me yall got the chenle reference w the "whats rent when ur rich"

and special thank you to @taesancore for reading it for me before i posted to help me figure stuff out.
