"You should wear this dress more often, Y'know?" Gemma's sister grins, adjusting the black strapes of Gemma's dress.

"It is pretty," Gemma agrees, running her fingers over the fabric of the undershirt she wore with the dress. "Just wanted it to be special, you know?"

"stop admiring yourself and set up that stream, dummy. You're gonna be late,"  Rose teases, giving Gemma a playful shove toward her streaming room. Gemma lets out a quiet curse, but deep down, she knows her sister is right. Being late for her first Qsmp stream would be a bit awkward.

Gemma settles into her black chair after closing the door, taking a deep breath as she starts her stream. "I'll be free in a few hours, Ro!" she calls out to her sister while the starting soon screen takes over her stream.

"Alright! Enjoy, and don't mess it up!" Rose shouts back with a laugh.

Twitch!

"Hey chat!" Gemma exclaims as she shows her full cam, the starting soon screen fading away. A wide grin lights up her face, "Today is gonna be awesome!" she declares with infectious excitement. "We're joining Quackity's server today! And guess what? We've got French, Spanish, and Brazilian creators there." Gemma glances at the chat, her eyes getting watery at the chat's excitement. It has been a stressful couple of months prior to today, with Gemma only finishing her last project the day before, thankfully. "Thank you for all the love! Today, I'll be speaking in English too, but no worries, there's a translator on the server if you need it!"

"Alright, let me just double-check for the green light to join..." Gemma glances at her second monitor where Discord awaits. A snort escapes her when she spots Roier's enthusiastic messages in the Qsmp Discord chanel. Everyone seems hyped about her joining today, and it's no secret. "Got the thumbs up," she confirms, giving the admin's message one last glance. "Alrighty then, let the adventure begin!"

"We're starting with lore, so I'll be silly little Qsmp Gemma from now."

Minecraft!

Gems joined the game

Q!Gemma awakens, scanning her room. A particular picture on the wall catches her eye—a small brown bear and a large white bear holding hands. "Is it time?" she murmurs to herself, diverting her gaze and crouching by the door. Peering through the bars of the iron door, the hallway beyond appears empty. Q!Gemma dashes back to her bed, uncovering a hidden chest beneath her pillow. Inside, her ticket to freedom; a key card.

"And all it took was a bit of flirting with WA05 for this key card," she chuckles to herself. "Sorry, WA05, I'll be out before you wake up." Q!Gemma sighs contentedly, reaching for the door. Glancing at her room, she reassures herself, "Outside will be better." before decisively swinging the door open with the key card.

Q!Gemma navigates the shadows, strolling through the lengthy corridor. Doors of agents and guards pass by, each labeled. She lingers before the last door, marked with a cheerful ':)', whispering a farewell. "Goodbye." she murmurs before descending the stairs, stealing one last glance at the door. Downstairs, she flips off the exercise and medical rooms, scoffing, "Worst rooms in this whole place." Her journey continues to the next set of stairs leading to the bottom floor.

"This floor is weirdly empty," Q!Gemma remarks, glancing around. She maneuvers through tables and mysterious objects, eyes fixed on the white metal door ahead. "This is it, right?" she questions, excitement bubbling.

Suddenly, an explosion reverberates. Q!Gemma moves back, hiding behind a bookcase. She listens as multiple voices approach, their excitement tempered with wariness in various languages. The door opens. A cloaked figure leads the way, others following and chatting loudly. "Too loud." she whispers, assuming no one can hear.

"Wait, guys," a man in a green coat and brown-white hair interrupts the chatter. "Be quiet, I heard something."

"What? Cellbit? Oh, shit," a totem-like figure panics, scanning the surroundings. The cloaked figure punches him, shushing him. Q!Gemma watches the drama unfold as they bicker by the door, while the others venture inside. Q!Gemma silently curses as q!Cellbit approaches, praying he turns away. 

Eyes to the ground, she skillfully maneuvers between people, reaching the door. As she raises her hand to open it, a clawed hand forcefully pushes her aside. "Who the hell are you?" Q!Cellbit demands, grabbing everyone's attention. Roier and Quackity gasp dramatically, earning an eye roll from Gemma before she gets back into character.

"Gemma," she says, taking a step back toward the door before bursting into a run outside. Gemma blinks at the sudden brightness after spending so much time in the dark, putting a pause on her sprint. "Why's it so fucking bright?" she whines as a crowd forms around her.

"It's daylight. You're not used to the real world, stupid?" Q!Roier chimes in, landing punches on q!Gemma, knocking away half her health. She lets out a shriek and retreats, seeking cover behind the nearest person - totem guy. He yelps and quickly steps back.

"Hell no! He'll punch me instead—"

"Alright, let's calm down," Q!Cellbit intervenes, casting a curious look at q!Gemma. "What's this building? We got the coordinates."

"I used to live here," q!Gemma says slowly, "But I'm not going back there."

"Why not?" a guy with a green creature on his shirt asks. "You're lonely?"

Q!Gemma glares at him. "No," she asserts, retaliating with a punch to create some personal space. "Don't know why you got the coordinates, though."

Q!Cellbit tries to speak again, but the overlapping voices make it tough to catch any specific words.

Real life!

Gemma surveys the scene with a hint of uncertainty before muting her microphone to address her chat. "This is incredible; big thank you to the admins for helping with my character." She waves at her camera, enthusiasm radiating, "I'm absolutely over the moon about playing  on this server. It's getting late for me, though, so I think I'll just fuck around with my friends tonight."

"Feel free to interrogate me or whatever tomorrow, okay?" she announces after unmuting, causing everyone to pause their conversations briefly. "It's a bit late for me, so please let's do lore another time."

Cellbit hums, prompting a few to wander off to pursue other activities, not before extending warm welcomes to Gemma. "Where's your sister?" Gemma asks Roier, playfully punching him to grab his attention. "I want to meet her."

"A fan of my streams, eh?" Roier chuckles before punching Foolish. "Leo is Foolish's daughter."

"Oh, right! Yeah, ours—mine and Vegetta's!" Foolish chimes in, tossing Gemma a flower. "Leo doesn't wake up every day, so she wanted me to give you this in case you miss each other."

Gemma's eyes light up with excitement as she looks at the flower in her hotbar. "She gave me a flower? Roier, your sister likes me!"

Foolish laughs, "She's very shy with new people usually, but she was really excited for you to join."

Gemma beams, putting the flower in her off-hand to keep. "Well, I'd love to meet her, she sounds like a sweetheart."

Foolish nods, "Yeah! Leo would love to meet you. Maybe next time she wakes up."

Roier, overhearing the shriek Gemma let out at Foolish's words, grins mischievously. "Looks like Leo's got a new fan."

Foolish laughs, and Roier takes Gemma to see things in the server.

Gemma must've left a good impression since everyone Roier took her to gave her things. First, Foolish handed her a flower from Leo and then 64 avocado toasts. Next, Badboyhalo gifted her slime armor and diamond tools, even though Roier made them break into his house. And to round it off, Quackity gave her emeralds and ender pearls to make a warpstone, even though Gemma thinks he's as poor as her.

Gemma was walking around with Quackity, Foolish and Baghera when someone punched her from behind causing her to jump in real life. Barely registering Foolish's and Baghera's excited call of "Leo!", she screams upon spotting her favorite egg. "Leonarda! I love you, and I don't even know you!"

The egg, Leonarda, crouches towards her, while Foolish playfully scoffs, "Wow, Leo, it's like I don't even exist."

Leo places a sign in front of Gemma. hi gemma I'm leo :D

Gemma's eyes widen. "Oh my gosh, hi!" she exclaims, already liking the egg. She quickly grabs a sign from her inventory and scribbles on it to copy the egg, while Leo briefly says hello to her dad. Hi Leo! You're the best egg ever!

Leo responds by placing another sign, SPANISH TIA? I LOVE YOU

Gemma fake sobs, "What did you do to this girl for her to be excited that I know Spanish?"

They all laugh while Leo writes another sign, dad foolich doesn't really know spanish and dad vegetta isn't here

Gemma grins, while Foolish stutters at the call out. "What? You speak in Spanish to me all the time, Leo!"

Leo stares at her father for a few moments before placing a sign. it's not the same dad. tia gemma is better

Gemma immediately opens her emote options and chooses the hug, and Leo immediately follows. "Us girlies gotta stick together, come join Baghera."

Live tweets!

I love gemma already :((
Reminder that my spanish is trash so spanish is english in italics!

I think I'll focus a little more on irl social media than irl so there will be mostly streams (they need to bond guys)

EDIT: minor changes in text, plot stays the same!
