+"Good evening, everyone, it's Gibi. I hope everyone's been enjoying their
+weekend so far, and thank you for tuning into this extra special livestream."
+
+As she speaks, she glances towards the viewer count in the corner of the screen.
+It quickly shoots into the double-digits; nothing amazing but it's fairly normal
+for how it's been recently. Gibi keeps her face up nonetheless. Her experience
+with the community has been kind but she'd better not take any chances. It's
+well-known that pretty girls get a potential boost and she doesn't want to
+jeopordize that over something so trivial.
+
+She came to this nascent ASMR conference to get to know other creators in her
+new community. She also wanted to get her name out, perhaps get to know a big
+content creator who would help out her channel and give her a good jumpstart.
+Pretty girls are a dime a dozen in the ASMR world; it may be a boost but she
+could also be relegated to white noise along with dozens of others who weren't
+able to make the cut.
+
+Gibi knows there's not really anything in her repertoire that makes her stand
+out from her peers, at least not yet. She honestly hasn't gotten comfortable
+enough in front of the camera to let herself shine, but given the rising
+popularity of "nerdy", "e-girl", and "gamer" aesthetics, she's sure she could
+carve out a niche.
+
+She wobbles a little as she leans back in the hotel room's desk chair, the
+plastic squeaking as she does, while reading the chat messages that are slowly
+populating on her screen as more viewers trickle in. It's the first night of the
+conference so she's not expecting immediate results, but she's hoping one of the
+bigger ASMRtists she met today gives a shout-out to her on their socials. She
+did make sure to mingle about with as many people as she could, and most are
+most likely still making their way back to hotels or getting dinner and drinks
+nearby.
+
+"Oh wait before we get started!" Gibi exclaims, "let me fiddle with this
+thermostat... I forget how cold hotel rooms are." She pushes herself back from
+the desk with extra effort to get the chair moving over the thin carpet and
+stands up. It's early summer in Los Angeles so all she's wearing are her
+favorite black jean shorts and her Legend of Korra shirt, but even her black
+hoodie isn't keeping her warm enough indoors.
+
+Gibi takes a few steps over and scoffs as she sees the temperature. She raises
+it up a few degrees before shuffling backwards back to the chair and falling
+back into it, laughing at the ludicrousness of the situation. She _may_ have had
+a little to drink; the first night is after all mostly a social gathering with
+most of the events starting tomorrow.
+
+"You guys, it was sixty-five degrees in here! Does the Marriott want all of its
+guests sleeping in ice boxes?"
+
+Her eyes quickly scan the chat. Most people are agreeing with the
+preposterousness of the temperature, a few random shitposters, but she sees one
+comment that throws her off for a second: _who's that guy in the bed behind
+her?_
+
+She completely forgot that she wasn't here alone.
