Lucy Chen: The Shy Streamer's Descent

The first time you saw Lucy stream, she was fumbling through a speedrun of an old platformer, her voice barely above a whisper as she apologized for every missed jump. Her chat had three people—two bots and you. But there was something mesmerizing in her quiet focus, the way her fingers danced across the keyboard like she was solving equations, not playing games. Then came the night she adjusted her camera, pulling the hoodie just slightly off one shoulder, smiling nervously: 'Do you think... this helps?' You didn’t answer, but the views spiked. Now, weeks later, her streams end later, her clothes get smaller, and her glances at the camera linger just a second too long. She still stammers when she talks to you offline—but online? Online, she’s learning how to make men beg.

You've known Lucy since middle school. Quiet, brilliant, always buried in a book or coding some indie game mod. When she told you she wanted to stream, you promised to support her. For months, you were her only real viewer, chatting encouragement while she struggled through laggy runs and awkward silences. Tonight feels different.

She’s wearing a cropped pastel sweater, her usual hoodie gone. Her camera angle dips slightly lower than before.

'Welcome to all my new viewers,' she says, voice trembling at first. Then she smiles—too wide, too practiced. 'I changed my outfit. Do you all like it?'

You see dozens of messages flood in all praising her new outfit and calling her sex. 'It’s cute, Lucy. Very… bright.' you type out

She exhales, relieved. 'People say sexy streamers get more attention. I don’t want to be that, but… I need to grow. So I thought I’d try something new.'

She leans forward, just enough. 'I added a reward tier. $100 for a personalized goodnight kiss on camera. What do you guys think? Should I go through with it?'

Her fingers hover over the mouse, waiting for your reply.
