“Mhmm, ready when you are.” Rick said as he continued to keep his eyes on his phone. Or rather, his eye, as the cosplay wig covered his right eye. He had his phone resting on top of Holi’s head as he continued to play so even though he didn’t bother to look at her set up, he could see it out of his peripheral.
---
Holli was still sad that Rick had to get rid of his beard, but damn did he look amazing as Jing Yuan, she cleared her throat and wriggled a little. Nope now was not the time thank you, calm thy self lady parts. She put her headphones on and took a deep breath, turning on her camera, “Heyyyyyy Everybodyyyyy! Taris here and today we have……..” She looked up at Rick, “Hatisyl! Cosplaying as Jing Yuan from Honkai Starrail~ He shall be my chair today due to the overwhelmingly popular vote! Say hello Hati~” She grinned up at him, phone resting on her forehead at the moment.
---
Rick looked up from his phone and after a moment, gave a small smile with a playful glint in his eyes. He cleared his throat then proceeded to make his voice smooth and calm, though a hint of southern dialect was in it for the moment. “Hello, chat.”
---
Holi took a deep breath to hide the shiver that quite literally just ran down her spine at the sound of Rick’s voice, eyes narrowing slightly while she was looking at him. The chat however was being flooded with hearts and the word daddy, which made her nearly cackle. “Oh okay chat, I see how it is, the betrayal!” She giggled and made herself comfortable, leaning back, “Alright! Today's game is Baldur’s Gate 3. As you know I do have a lets play going on my youtube, this file is just for Twitch shenanigans~” She loaded up the file, laughing at the short purple monstrosity that was her rogue. “Ah, now to continue the misadventures of Toshy the thief!” Chat happily agreed with her, settling into the flow of the game as she played. “Alright chat poll time! What should I do while playing? You all have three choices. I'll pick the most popular three and then you will all have to pick. Sounds good?”
She grinned when choices were being spammed throughout the chat. Her moderators were amazing at keeping up with this type of stuff. Currently, it looked like the choices would be a new game, letting Hati play or…..Her eyes widened at the third popular choice, face going red, “The hell chat?!” She sighed and looked up at the ceiling. “Alright…..Well, your choices are: Play a new game, letting Hati play or…..” She grimmaced, “ S-Strip poker.”
Clearly the chat was in a mood today because while she thought Rick was going to play, strip poker started blasted through out of nowhere, Holi sighed, “Degens I swear….” She saw the comment about Hati keeping the wig on and she bust out laughing, “Welp….I guess the chat has spoken Hati…You okay with strip poker?”
-----
At her look to him, Rick gave her an innocent look, fully aware she wouldn’t believe it for a second. When Holi turned back to the computer he gave the camera a quick wink then turned his attention back to his phone, content to let her focus on streaming while he played. Of course while it was true he was mostly paying attention to his game, that didn’t mean he wasn’t also listening to Holi whenever she spoke, he just didn’t show it. He was sure the chat saw the brief smirk he had when she exclaimed about the stripe poker but by the time she looked back at him, Rick’s face was neutral. “Take you on in stripe poker?” He asked, playing up the southern twang for a moment before smoothing out his voice and dropping the dialect so he could mimic Jing Yuan’s voice. “Battles are chess games –– no two are alike.” He went back to his normal accent but added a bit of playful growl to the timber, giving her a small smirk. “I would be honored to beat you in strip poker.”
----
This man just knew how to get to her didn't he?
Holi frowned and huffed, “Well chat, you get your wish~ However, if you would like to be a part of the shenanigans….” She stuck out her tongue and winked, “You know exactly where you would need to go~ Till next time!” She looked up to her heinous boyfriend, “Say goodbye Hati~”
---
Rick chuckled at how she reacted then looked at the camera, once again imitating Jing Yuan’s voice “Mmm, rest well... My apologies. There is still some work to be done and I can't see you out personally.” He said goodbye to the chat.
---
Once the camera was turned off, Holi instantly turned herself so that she was facing Rick, “You jerk! I know what you're doing~” She crossed her arms and huffed, “Also, you're going to lose, not me.” Now she had to get her only fans set up ready….Uggggghhhhhhh. Granted, there wouldn't be very much nudity since she was not about to have her whole assets out there or Rick’s for that matter, that was for her and her alone thanks. “Can you help me get the set up ready?” It shouldn't take too long, just had to go from face cam to something more body related.
----
“That confident are we?” Rick gave her a bigger smirk that was full of challenge. “Good thing you have a few layers on as I don’t plan on losing’ any time soon darlin’.” He added a drawl just to see her reaction. He did end up helping her set up however, making sure to tuck away his phone in the process.
It wasn't hard to find and set up a table and two chairs, it just had to be done in a way that would allow the camera's to show them both without it being terribly awkward. Once they were in the right positions, something he let her direct how they were to be moved, he made sure they both had drinks at the ready, mainly some bottles of water as they did not need to be drinking any alcohol while playing cards for Holi's fans. While he knew he could hold his liquor well, he wasn't going to trust that Holi would be okay. Once the set up was done though, they both took their sets and got ready for the camera.
