“And yet you reached out to me?”
“Yes, it’s strange, right? Actually, I recognized some of the places you went to during your streams, so I knew you were living close by.”
“Is that the reason?”
“Just partially. No, in truth, it’s not the main reason. As someone sensitive, you must understand, right?”
I didn’t understand anything, unfortunately.
“…What do you mean?”
“I mean, we’re quite blessed, aren’t we? With our sensitivity, we can earn a living just by SR streaming.”
“I guess so.”
“But that doesn’t mean we’re not curious about… more. Going further.”
“Going further?”
“Yeah. I mean, when I watched your stream, I couldn’t help asking myself, if that’s how normal women react, what about me? Can I experience something on the level of the people from 200 years ago with you? Like someone who’s not numb at all?”
“Ah… I see.”
“Yeah… That’s why I was surprised when you accepted my proposal. It’s not like I’m skilled like you. You have nothing to gain from this.”
Her point of view was very different from mine, as expected of someone from this special alternate universe. Still, she made sense, in her own logic.
I shook my head.
“That’s not true. I’m curious about doing a co-op stream, of course, but I’m also intrigued by you. Your specialty is just, wow. Can’t wait for it, really.”
She blushed a little, looking happy.
“Is that so? Then, I’ll try my best! You won’t regret it.”
I gave her my best smile.
“Looking forward to it.”
She nodded before looking a bit more serious.
“A few more things before we start. Please don’t reveal my personal information.”
“That goes without saying. Please also don’t reveal what you know of me if you can help it.”
“Of course. And finally, I noticed you didn’t talk much during your streams. Are you alright with me taking the lead to chat with the viewers?”
“I welcome it, actually.”
I hadn’t seen much of her stream, but I could still see where she was coming from with that last request. I usually talked mostly at the start, when walking toward my destination, and focused on the action during payments. In her preview video, she was chattering all the time, probably because playing with herself didn’t need as much attention from her. Or maybe she just liked talking. It had been funny to watch her blabbering about a random topic while ramming a dildo into her pussy.
“Great. It’s almost time now. Let’s get ready.”
“Alright.”
We did the same gestures almost in sync. Placing the streaming module on top of our SR, putting our glasses on, and positioning our phones next to each other on a desk. On her side, she also put her usual black mask, covering most of her lower face.
“Ready?”
“Anytime.”
“Let’s start.”
We both tapped on our phones to open the stream.
“Hello, dear viewers! How’s the weekend treating you?”
PlayfulRelease announced loudly, after which came a moment of pause, which was probably her reading greeting messages from her viewers. I also received some on my side.
[Newbie Follower: Hello, hello! Co-op stream with PlayfulRelease, let’s go!]
[Chumchummy: I’ve been waiting for this!]
[Aged Wine Lover: She’s as far from a gilf as could be, but if it’s from you, I’ll take anything.]
[Fireworkstation: Stop talking about gilfs already.]
I had many new viewers, some of whom were very chatty. It wasn’t only the six initial ones talking anymore, which made it hard to follow at times, since the messages scrolled by so quickly.
“I’m glad to hear it! Now, look who we have with us today.”
PlayfulRelease turned toward me while I also stared at her.
“That’s right! It’s Parallelver, the new shooting star who’s taking the world of streaming by storm! No, no, I’m not exaggerating. You can only say that because you haven’t watched any of his streams!”
[Aich: PlayfulRelease’s so tiny, cute, and full of energy. This co-op is a great choice.]
[IHateBeingNumb: Meh.]
[ImperviousAnimal: Let’s see how it goes. Never watched her streams before.]
PlayfulRelease extended her hand toward me, imitating holding a mic as if to interview me.
“Parallelver, do you have anything to say to our viewers?”
“First, hello to all of you, and thanks for coming to our stream.”
“Yes, yes, thank you, everyone. Love you all!”
There was a stark contrast between my calm demeanor and PlayfulRelease's over-excited self, but I didn’t mind. She was putting some energy into my normally relatively quiet streams.
“Next, a few details that are good to know. Feel free to watch this from either of us since it won’t make much difference. If you’re feeling generous, you can also donate to either of us. We agreed to share everything equally at the end. That’s all. We’ll try to make this as fun as possible, so please enjoy it.”
Since I didn’t have much to say, I chose to go over the rules. These were things that we had agreed on yesterday while messaging. It was a bit advantageous to me, considering PlayfulRelease had more followers, but she had insisted on doing it like this since she was the one asking for the cooperative stream in the first place.
Now that I talked a lot, I felt like I had done my part and could stay quieter for the rest of the stream, letting the dynamic girl take over, which is precisely what she did.
“That’s exactly right! No bad feelings, no jealousy, full equality! Feel free to switch to the other stream if you want to see what the chat looks like there. As for stimulations, we will both share everything, so it’ll be the same on either side!”
This was yet another technological limitation. It wasn’t possible to watch several streams at the same time with current technological prowess. As such, it was only possible to experience the sensations from a single stream at a time.
‘Maybe that’s for the best, or else people could connect to a thousand streams and die by orgasm overdose or something.’
No matter how numb they were, feeling hundreds or even thousands of people's worth of stimulation at the same time surely wouldn’t be good for anyone’s health. I was sure some folks would try to do it if it were a choice, so it was good that it was impossible. Even nice things had to be done in moderation for them to stay enjoyable.
