Day 254, exactly at 2pm

[nymphcompoop]

From: 🌙✨ (moonshine@empire-entertainment.com)
Subject: Voice packs workshopping

Miss Marsh,

Here's the information you requested.

Hard Nos: bathroom stuff, hard vore, impregnation/pregnancy, rape/noncon, torture, death, serious illness, serious injuries, family drama, work drama, relationship drama, cheating, underage stuff, racism, bigotry, anything that would assume or imply anything about the listener's sex/gender.

Negotiable/Only within specific scenarios: incest, slavery, bloodplay, drugs, probably other stuff too, I'm just drawing a blank right now.

As for a quirk, we can say I get a little more childish when I'm tired/sleepy, but this should only apply for streams where I'm Moonshine and not playing any characters, correct?

Please let me know if this is something you can work with and please also confirm reception of this email.

Best,
🌙✨

Mr. Moonshine,

I confirm the reception of your email. Thank you for your detailed list of hard no's and scenario-dependent considerations.

Regarding the quirk, that is correct. Other characters you play can have their own quirks if you like, but they can also simply rely on tropes since they are assumed to be fictional from the start.

I would only like to point out that according to the data provided to me, 100% of your superfans are straight cishetero women over thirty years old. While your intention to be inclusive in your content is refreshing to see in your niche, it unfortunately clashes with what I was instructed to do by your manager, which is to cater to your current paying audience. They are the ones who are expected to buy your voice packs.

Other than that, I can definitely work with this.

Regards,

[he won't reply immediately because he's too stupidly excited to get her email in the first place and he has to reread the first couple of paragraphs before finally getting to the third and having a heart attack.

and then he rereads that like five times.]

Miss Marsh,

Thank you for your prompt reply and your answer.

I'm curious though, who exactly provided this information to you? I have access to all my analytics and what you mention here does not match up at all.

I'm not accusing you of lying, I would just like to know where this data is coming from so I can discuss it with the pertinent area.

Thank you in advance.

Best,
🌙✨

This email is sent at around 5pm I'm so sorry

Mr. Moonshine,

You can find the data I was sent attached to this email.

[the PPT attached reads like the results of a marketing research study. you know the type HAHA. stock images and unreadable pie charts and all

it has moonshine's name everywhere but if you check the links some of them don't lead to his socials but to a different streamer's. OH NO]

1/???

[nymphcompoop]

[ohhh. ohhh nooooo.

I DO NOT HAVE THE TIME FOR ANY OF THIS RIGHT NOW.]

Re: This email is sent at around 5pm I'm so sorry

[nymphcompoop]

[... but if I tell her to hold off on writing anything until I sort this out then when am I going to see her?]

Re: This email is sent at around 5pm I'm so sorry

[nymphcompoop]

[uuughghhhhhhh]

done

[nymphcompoop]

Miss Marsh,

Thank you for the presentation. As I suspected, it does not reflect my actual analytics.

[here's a phone cap of his Toktik analytics where the actual gender spread is something closer to 40% women, 30% men, 30% nonbinary/other) and the main age ranges go from 16 to 40. HE SHOULD NOT BE SHARING THIS AT ALL, BUT,

well, at least it's not the OnlyF*ns stats.]

I understand the work that was requested of you is meant to align with the presentation you shared with me, so do go ahead and write something that fits those criteria. In the meantime, I will be speaking with my manager to see what can be done to rectify this.

I'll make sure you're compensated for your time and effort, regardless.

Best,
🌙✨

Day 255, afternoon

[nymphcompoop]

[early on that morning, Catherine will be getting an email from Moonshine's manager, thanking her for her work and quick turnover time, and also requesting her to drop by the EmpEnt offices later that day so they can go over her scenario together with Moonshine. she will apologize for the short notice and for making her come all the way here, but Moonshine is very busy currently and they felt it would be easier to make any necessary adjustments in real time. thank you again and sorry for your trouble and we're looking forward to seeing what new ideas she's come up with.]

[drop by EmpEnt offices later that day???

I LITERALLY DON'T GET PAID ENOUGH FOR THIS]

Re: Day 255, afternoon

[makedown]

[replies that she will be there at x time and proceeds to change her whole plan for the day for this

shower. heavy breakfast. choosing an outfit. spitefully signing the HaZE contract she'd slept on because she wasn't sure if she wanted to close the EmpEnt door but you know what, sometimes you have to take risks

chanting I'm quitting after this. I'm quitting after this internally as she puts on her make-up and her wig and her jewelry and her high heels and then she paints her nails while she checks on her novel teaser post]

done

[makedown]

[she's there at x PM on the dot

it's a reddish wig done up btw, and she's dressed in business casual. heavy make-up. more reds than greens.]

Re: done

[nymphcompoop]

[after 5 or 10 minutes waiting in the lobby, Moonshine's manager will come down to greet her. she's carrying a clipboard and a bunch of papers and seems to be in a rush. she will apologize for not being able to join the meeting right away because something else just come up with another one of her talents, but in the meantime Ms. Marsh can find Moonshine at [X meeting room, on the X floor]. thank you again, byeeee.

EmpEnt takes up a whole building for its activities. it's very modern, clean, and fancy, but it absolutely screams boring corporate offices. many of its walls are decorated with printouts from media outlets celebrating its talents' achievements (quite often numbers/money related), and also ViewTube play buttons and similar awards.

when she gets to the specified meeting room (a boring room with a large round table, a large TV, a single (fake) plant and glass doors, she will find Moonshine furiously typing away at his laptop. on the table, there's also: a number of papers and binders, all messily scattered around, a notepad and pen, his phone, one venti frap that's not even halfway finished (although the ice has all melted away), a second empty venti frap cup, and a panini with a single bite taken off it]

Re: done

[makedown]

[well, at least he's not like. lounging on a bed being fed grapes by some fan or something

clears throat]

Mr. Moonshine.

Y-Yeah?

[Evening after their last convo]

[thefaultinthestars]

[Sometime in the afternoon/evening, there are several telling sounds that Catherine may or may not be around to catch.

1. He does NOT stay out all night, but he does return home with a Guest. Presumably this is why he will not be streaming.

2. There is a knock at her door and whoever answers it will fine 1 large extra insano cheese pizza, 2 pints of icecream (irish cream brownie and kahlua almond amaretto)

3. Booker Storm and his guest are not loud, it's a night of having normal neighbors. Though probably the bed creaks obviously at some point. It's hard to say, AV and Mika will probably not get to this part of the thread for like 2 weeks so. handwaggle]

Re: [Evening after their last convo]

[makedown]

[She will silently thank Guest for their sacrifice. Whoever they are, they deserve the world.

May Booker never find out that this was the highlight of her day.]

[Pre-Boat]

[thefaultinthestars]

[The night that 6 occurs, but before 7 Demonic Squid is streaming, per usual from his room. And per usual, it can be heard by those the apartment over.

Apparently at the insistence of his chat, he does look into the Totality Worldmarker debacle briefly. It's the sort of routine where he moogles headlines, reacts to shorts, generally talks out of his ass and insults his viewers and whatever they are interested in alike.

On this subject, his hot take is that this is obviously EmpEnt grabbing onto whatever they can to distract from the much bigger, more dire news that Squid himself had been breaking just a week ago. Look at how skillfully it riles up the Solar Circle fanbase -- which has been grown some insane power in just the last few days -- and points them at something EmpEnt can easily defend against. Why would they target themselves? Obviously to create an attack they can defend against instead of the ones they can't. But you know, feel free to get caught up in EmpEnt's web of lies, he's not your dad.

And then he moves onto half a dozen other topics before closing out the night.

And, ten or so minutes later, there is a tapping on Catherine's balcony door. From what looks like a bottle of Jacq.]

Re: [Pre-Boat]

[makedown]

[it takes her a moment to understand and she briefly considers closing the curtains, but. the sweet call of jacq

is the bottle is truly alone????????? she is checking]

Re: [Pre-Boat]

[thefaultinthestars]

[no, there is a dragon hand holding the bottle and Booker is leaning against the railing of his own balcony to reach over, when he sees her peaking he taps the glass again]

Congratulations on your cancellation, doxing, and pity uncancellation. Is this your first?

Re: [Pre-Boat]

[makedown]

[opens the door with one swift movement, steps outside and holds out her hand]

What gave me away? Was it the descriptions of your scales?








...Wait. It was my name, wasn't it. In that stupid doc. Forget I said anything. Forget it right now.

[evening after boat boarding]

[thefaultinthestars]

[having no idea she ended up on the boat, instead she gets an email that contains a link to a sold willoz listing. A 4br, 3ba two story with a modest front and back yard in the suburbs of port manteau, it's easy walking distance to a grocery store and right on a bus line and a recent build so probably it was stupidly expensive]

probably not as far outside the city as you wanted, but if you pick up the keys for me you can use it as long as you want

[very late 266, or early 267]

[makedown]

Why do you write emails the way you would text people? At least write my name and a comma and set up an email signature with your social media information at the bottom.

[she deleted her own email signature]

Re: [very late 266, or early 267]

[thefaultinthestars]

I only do that when I'm trying to get someone to pay me.

Re: [very late 266, or early 267]

[makedown]

If I'd slept, this is where a witty reply would go.

Thank you even though I told you not to do that.

I don't think I'll be able to pick up your keys anytime soon though.

[her signature was deleted again, but with less effort]
