¨Hey, my bodacious viewers! I am Koriousity and we are, as you can see, playing Garry's Mod!¨ I announced excitedly to the camera. Today is my first livestream since starting this channel and I have been super pumped for it! It took almost a week to get everything set up and ready for this video. All that money I saved up at the café. Money meant for college. Wasted for my channel. Man, I hope my folks don't know about this. It's already bad enough that I left home to pursue a career and later had to tell them I was sticking with playing games for a living. Now, I just wasted a ton of cash on equipment! I internally sighed as I started rambling about what was to happen.

I love this job but sometimes, I think I am leaning too much on this rather than an actual job. It's not like an employer would like to have an employee who played videogames for a living and had no other 'essential' working experience. Yet, I am always drawn to this passion. This love of entertainning people with my antics and goofy humor. And the other Youtubers helped as well with my predicament. Like they suggested their subscribers to watch my videos and, even with no cameras, they helped and supported me through all of this. It was great for them to do that for me, a newbie who even sucked at Mario Bros.

¨So, are we clear? Okie! Now, I have some special guests with me today. They heard about my livestream and wanted to join in as well. And, this will be a HOOT of a time with them here!¨ I watched as the chat was filled with excited comments and random emojis. I giggled at the their excitement and took it as a sign to continue.

¨Well, I'm gonna have them introduce themselves. Hey guys!¨ I greeted happily.

¨Hey, Kori. Glad you're finally done with your rambling.¨ a low yet happy male voice responded. This is Mark or, how people know him as, Markiplier. He was actually one of the first big time gamers that greeted me with open arms. I was a fan of his and met him at Comic-Con of last year. However, at the time, I was cosplaying as Harley Quinn and kind of embarassed myself since I wanted to stay in character. From then on, he kept calling me Harley when he wanted to tease me. Other than that, Mark is a really nice guy. His brown eyes lighting up even during the harshest of times. That wavy dark brown hair that always covered some part of his face. His perfectly straight smile ready to charm its way into everyone's hearts. Man, Amy sure is lucky to have him.

¨Hey, Markimoo~¨ I teased.

I heard him groan at the little nickname that fandoms had started calling him. ¨God, not THAT name!! It sounds so weird when random fans keep calling me that.¨ Mark huffed in frustration. I giggled and waited for more people to come up. I didn't have to wait too long for a loud voice to blast into my headphones and damage my eardrums.

¨HI! Who's here so far?!¨ a loud Irish voice asked rather loudly. That is Séan or JackSepticEye. We don't know each other that much and haven't really played together but Mark introduced him to me during my visit to L.A. Séan was super friendly towards me and was as open as a book to me, a complete stranger. He always got excited and loved doing pranks or goofing off, so he was a great friend if I needed someone to make me smile. Don't get me wrong; Mark is a supportive and caring friend. But, sometimes a friend just need to laugh over their problems rather than cry over them. And Séan can do just that.

¨Hey, Jack. It's just me and Ko-¨ Mark was interrupted by a loud girly scream coming from another line. I looked through the 'Players' section and only found other names that popped up.

¨Hey, Minx, is that you?¨ I laughed at the thought of Minx freaking out over a spider. At that moment, Minx came through.

¨No, that isn't me. Was that you, Aaron?¨ the British female voice asked to the other player. It was silent and another girlish scream was heard. I quickly recognized that scream as Yami's. Aaron was never a fan of spiders and posted a video once about a gigantic spider, which left me dying from laughter.

¨Yes! There is a giant spider on my window!!!¨ he shouts out with his thick British accent slurring most of his speech. Me and Mark started laughing at thought of his face right now while Séan just kept calling Aaron a wuss. In the background, I could hear Minx snorting at the whole situation; this just made me and Mark laugh harder than before. You got to admit that Minx has a contagious laugh like Mark's. Then, we hear Yami let out a sigh of relief and started speaking again.

¨Oh, nevermind. It's outside my window, sorry!¨

¨Oh my god, how could you not tell?!¨ Michelle yelled out with a giggle. Oh, Yami. Why do you have to be so clueless? I thought to myself. I mean, just by that sentence alone, you could imagine the most retarded face coming from Aaron; who is relieved that the spider isn't invading his home and giving birth to more of its kind in his brain.

¨Okay, we need two more people and we'll be ready to play!¨ I announced happily to the other players.

¨I hope so!!! I have been waiting SOOOO long! It's like that feeling when someone rips off a Band-Aid super slowly! It's AGONIZING!¨ Séan whines as another player joins in. The name immediately clicks in my head.

¨Hey, Justin. What's up?¨ I greet casually. Justin is a good friend of mine and was the only person who encouraged me to start making a channel. He goes by the name Thinknoodles and mostly plays Minecraft games and the sort. Before YouTube, he's been a close friend for about 2 years and, now, almost three! I was lucky to have a friend like him.

¨Eh, nothing much. But, dude! How did you get all these other guys here?!¨ he exclaimed in astonishment.

¨We were friends for some time and I decided to invite a few friends. Oh, sorry. I'm Mark, by the way.¨ Ah, Mark is always so nice. When he's not murdering our players. He gets really evil and merciless when it comes to prop hunt, but I think it's just his way of having fun. Like how Séan, from what I heard, likes being mischievious when it comes to games like this. Yami is the same as Mark, maybe a little less merciless, and Minx is just a beast! I don't think I even have a chance at beating these guys............Well, maybe I might be Justin. MAYBE.

Finally, the last player pops up and I could hear the British man from the other line.

¨Darcie, get off my chair! You're not supposed to be there!¨ Dan laughs from a distance and a series of barks come through the mic. I haven't seen Dan before but, because he and Justin game together, I would hear about him a lot. He was a Minecraft gamer and has a channel called DanTDM. It used to be The Diamond Minecart but I guess he changed the name a little. We've talked once and he seemed like a nice guy. Plus, Justin wanted me to invite him so I had to. Curse our friendship code.

¨Hey guys, am I late?¨ Dan asks with an accent that is easier for us to understand.

¨No, you're fine, Dan. Let's just start, already!¨ I exclaimed, moving my cursor to the 'Start Game' icon on my screen. I brushed a strand of my bang out of the right side of my face, pulling it back to where its fellow strand lay on top of my left eye.

¨Wait!¨ Dan shouted, abruptly.

¨Come on, man. My finger is itching to kick your newbie butts!¨ Mark complained, before letting out an evil chuckle.

¨Why don't we do it at the same time?¨

¨Sure, why not, Dan.¨ I said, not really caring how we do things. However, like Mark, I was anxious about playing the game. Afterall, it has been almost a year since I played Garry's Mod. That was when me and Mark played with his friends; I was the first one to fail, obviously.

¨Let's do it at the count of 3.¨Yami said.

¨Three........Two...........¨Sean went and after a long pause..........

¨ONE!!¨ Everybody exclaimed and I pressed the 'Start' icon, as well as the other Youtubers.

Suddenly, my screen turned black and had some glitching now and then. It shouldn't be broken since I made sure to install the latest version of my antivirus program. So, that's not it. The screen stayed like that and noises started sounding loudly; hurting my eardrums.

¨What in the......¨ I said before I was blinded by a bright light. At that moment, I felt my body being sucked in and started falling, with the blinding light accompanying it. I screamed as I fell and I suddenly blacked out, unconscious. The last thing I felt was my body making impact on what felt like grass before I was left in a dreamless sleep.

¨Tsk, tsk. So idiotic of you to think you would have a normal life. It almost makes me feel bad for you.....Well.....ALMOST. *cackles*

Neither you or your friends can escape this little predicament made by us. So, go ahead:

Call for help. I dare you.

Cry into the darkness!

S E E W H A T G O O D I T D O E S Y O U! *insane giggles*¨
