Love Addict's RPG Vol 2 Outline Part 1

I know I keep saying 'if you're new here' but forgive me for doing so again, we just keep getting new people lmao. If you're new here, feel free to share your thoughts but please keep in mind these outlines are very loose and not fully set in stone. Anyway, I imagine this is probably 4-6 chapters worth of material. We'll see how it goes! I'll probably start on it later tonight but might have to take a break tomorrow depending on if my adderall is filled in time.

---

Morning with Zoe

• We pick up where we left off. Air smells like pancakes. Oliver is on the couch sitting with Zoe, and he is very distracted. She's changed out of her 'work clothes' into some pajamas that they are still very revealing and it doesn't help that she is lazily strewn about the couch without regard for her appearance. Also wears glasses when she isn't streaming, big round ones. She is playing her Vapor Dock while Oliver tries to make conversation with her.
• She's also constantly getting notifications on her phone and every so often she will check it and respond.
• Zoe is responsive enough to his conversational attempts, but her attention is obviously fully on her other activities. She makes fun of him for being unable to stop staring at her tits, yelling out to Mia that he is doing it. Mia confirms that's okay and she'd be more worried if he wasn't staring at them. Zoe is amused, making fun of him for reminding her of her chat members. Massive virgin energy.
• He counters that they were working on it before she so rudely interrupted. Zoe downplays how rude it was, then says she already apologized. Oliver points out that no, she didn't. Zoe is confused, didn't I? No? Well, I meant to. You could apologize right now? In a minute. Boss fight is coming up.
• Oliver reaches a peak with his frustration and excuses himself to go to the bathroom briefly where he does his typical mirror talk. He promised Mia that he was going to try and be friends with Zoe, but only a few minutes into their conversation and he's already at his wit's end. He tries to hype himself up again and this situation is used to slightly reestablish some of the things from the end of volume 1. Namely that he wants to start making the most of his powers to potentially help Mia's wrist and Zoe is a heroine so he needs to get used to her so he can get all the LP from her that he can.
• He tries to make a quick list about why he can totally handle Zoe and why it would be worth doing so. It would make Mia happy. She's a really hot gamer girl streamer. That's pretty much all he's got. Damn it, this is going to be harder than he thought.
• He makes a quick call to Bradley, who is in the middle of his ratcatcher hobby. Oliver can hear the squeaking noises and feels bad for the rat but they have a quick conversation because he feels like he needs someone in his corner right now. He explained the situation(partially, I want them to have a moment tomorrow morning), Bradley is happy that Oliver has finally come around and he gives some simple but helpful advice, reminding him that he has only known Zoe for about fifteen minutes. Probably not enough time to judge her character.
• That's true, but she's just very irritating. Bradley tells him to pull it together. He can't be passive and slow like he is with Mia, he needs to match Zoe's wavelength and not let her disturb his own. Oliver thinks this advice might help, he needs to push back more and is determined to do so. The call ends with one more boost to his motivation.
• Mia knocks on the door and he opens it for a quick discussion. There's a joke about him talking to himself again and Oliver admits that no Zoe is just so difficult to deal with he needed to call Bradley for some emotional support. Mia raises a brow, do that a lot, do you? Oliver tells her that if it wasn't for Bradley's support then their own relationship wouldn't have progressed so fast. She'll have to thank him, then.
• Anyway, the pancakes are done but there's a hitch. She forgot to check if they still had syrup. They don't. Oliver asks if she wants to be taken to pick some up but she says there's a nearby gas station like ten minutes away and she'll just walk there. Asks him to stay behind and keep Zoe company. Oliver knows that's what Mia wants so he accepts, gets a small aff boost.
• She leaves and Oliver returns to Zoe. He is determined to get something out of her and adjust, remembering to not let her bother him. She starts off crass, joking that he better not have ruined their toilet. Oliver manages to fire back a joke, saying no more than you do. He is surprised that all those gamer gulpies don't give her radioactive piss or something. Zoe likes the joke, getting his first tiny aff boost. It's motivating.
• Making conversation with a new person was difficult but Oliver had gotten a lot of experience in the last week and he had plenty of ways he could try and steer the discussion. When in doubt, the best way to progress is to get someone talking about themselves. He starts off small, asking her about the game she's playing.
• Again, Zoe is friendly enough and they talk a little bit about it. I'm sure I'll come up with something funny for the game when I actually sit down to write it but what's important is they have a small back-and-forth. It's not super effective but it greases the wheel and makes him a little bit more comfortable talking to her. They also talk a little bit about my parody of the steam deck, getting some comments from Zoe about it to show how terminally online Zoe is.
• He briefly asks about her friendship with Mia, how long they've known each other and so on. This turns out to be a good move. Zoe speaks incredibly highly of Mia while continually putting herself down in comparison. Zoe is very self-aware of how difficult she is and while she's still probably under appreciating what Mia does for her, Oliver finds it a lot easier to digest knowing that she isn't selfishly abusing Mia.
• Zoe then throws a curveball by asking about him and Mia, to which she shows some interest. She's crass and to the point about it, making jokes about how much fun they seem to be having with each other. This throws him off balance again but he tries to not let it bother him. We would've had more fun if we weren't interrupted. Zoe is skeptical, seemed like they were having plenty fun as it was.
• Oliver doesn't know what to say this, and she continues making it weird by telling him she's never really understood the appeal. Of what, sex? Yeah, just feels like time that could be better spent on playing games. Oliver doesn't treat her like an alien at this, it's perfectly fine if some people don't have interest in sex. Internally he might think it's a little sad that one activity has consumed her life above everything else but he keeps that to himself.
• Zoe elaborates that she's not like asexual or anything, just indifferent. Oliver can't relate but is polite about it. She makes a joke about how rough Mia has it being a hypersexual but at least she has some help now. The conversation is still making him uncomfortable and he's struggling to keep in control. His ability to do so goes straight out the window when she puts down her game for a split second, looks at him directly, and takes on an even more suggestive pose.
• Zoe reiterates how important Mia is to her and outright says she knows she's not the easiest friend to have. While she reiterates that she is not all that into the idea of naughty stuff herself she's cool with the idea of giving Mia a taste of what she wants as a way of making things up to her. Oliver is nervous and aroused at the suggestion, asks for clarification. Zoe spells it out. If it would make Mia happy to watch them make out or for him to feel her up or something innocent like that then she really doesn't have any reservations about it.
• Internally, he is all over the place. This was not how dating sims were supposed to go. You were supposed to earn kisses and tit-touching privileges over a long period of time, not be offered them freely at the start of a girl's route.
• Zoe seems like she's enjoying the way that Oliver is squirming, offers him the coward's way out by telling him he can forget everything she just said if he's that much of a pussy. He rises to the challenge, finding his courage and saying he'd do just about anything to make Mia happy. Zoe approves of this, AFF boost, but she's not done messing with him. She reaches into her shirt and rips off one of the pasties from her nipple that were referenced at the end of last volume before placing it on Oliver's cheek- it's a gold star.
• There's no way he can win here, he's overstimulated and hard as hell, unable to fight back. She laughs at this and says guess this is going to be up to her telling him to follow her lead later on when it's time. He nods meekly, asking what she has in mind. Zoe proposes that she tosses Mia a bone and they bet on a game later or something over getting to make out with each other. That should make the little pervert happy, and you too, by the looks of it.
• Zoe goes back to her game while he is left floored. He's no match for someone who is so loose and casual with their sexuality and if he wanted to keep up he was going to have to get more experienced. That, or cheat. Mia comes back in right as he's thinking about this. She instantly sees the gold star on Oliver's face and blushes suggestively. She makes a dismissive joke about how they seem to be getting along but it's pretty obvious how into it she is. She has a humiliated smile on her face as she walks away towards the kitchen.
• Zoe comments on how fucked up she is and Oliver sighs, agreeing and saying something along the lines of yeah isn't she great. Another small AFF boost as Zoe sees how crazy Oliver is for Mia. This somewhat endears her to him, but he still isn't over the embarrassment she put him through. He wants to make things even and he excuses himself to the bathroom again. Mia makes a joke about not taking to long talking to himself or something and Oliver plays it off.
• What he's in there for his to search through his skills. Since it's pretty much a given he and Zoe are going to kiss soon, he wants to surprise her when it happens and he lands on a tier two skill which not only makes him a better kisser but increases the affection boost in any boost caused by kissing. Oliver hovers over it, briefly considering the ethics. She already consented to kissing him, but what about the added effect? He ultimately decides that the wording of the skill is loose enough for him to invest.
• It just says that if there is an affection boost caused by kissing it would increase the effect. In other words, if Zoe isn't already into it, she won't experience one. Oliver sums up his courage and buys the skill because he wants to be aggressive, reminding himself he needs this and that the skill will pay for itself between first kiss, make out, and completing the quest. This is all for Mia he justifies, though he loses himself a little bit upon thinking about what it'd be like to kiss someone else.
• Buying it unlocks another discounted sexual variation of this skill similar to weakness exploit pleasure. It basically makes his kisses addictive. The idea is hot but he doesn't fall for this one, because it's clearly got nonconsensual tones to it. It sounds like a skill that would be fun to play around with if Mia knew about it but otherwise no.
• This does get him thinking about how he could really use an on/off switch for some skills, though. He checks to see if there's an option somewhere in his gigantic list. The sheer size of it made it so he had only a small understanding of what was inside at any time, but luckily enough, he found one labeled exactly what he was searching for- Toggle. He doesn't have a reason to buy it at the moment but he remembers it for later.
  • Side note. Would make for a very interesting character moment if Oliver floats the idea of getting Toggle to Bradley and we actually see him show some genuine human panic as if he's actually worried that Oliver is getting annoyed by him, essentially pleading that he can do better before Oliver is like dude that's not what I'm getting this for I would never use it on you.
• He returns to the living room, finding that Mia had cleaned up the coffee table and placed the breakfast spread out for all of them. Zoe is like fucking finally and starts digging in because Mia wouldn't let her until he returned. It doesn't stop her from trying to take most of the bacon. Mia tries to tell her off about this but it doesn't work. Oliver is clued in that this might be a good chance to stand up for her and he successfully does so.
• Zoe proves to not be entirely unreasonable and apologizes, saying she's just always excited to eat Mia's cooking. Mia gets fidgety at this and he suddenly realizes why she has such a hard time standing up to her friend. She really is a pushover when it comes to Zoe. Mia mumbles something about how she would cook more for Zoe if she left her room more often and Zoe dismisses it- her fans need her, after all, and she wonders how they're going to survive a week without her.
• Mia is dejected hearing this and Oliver doesn't need to be told he has to inquire about her career. As he started eating, the chapter ends with him asking Zoe about her job, which she is all too happy to tell him about.

After breakfast

• we get an overview of Zoe's career. Her channel is known as LSG, LazySlothGaming. She is quite a bit more popular than Mia implied. She gets several thousand viewers per stream and typically streams upwards of twelve hours a day and has been doing it for four years ever since the two of them graduated high school. Oliver still hasn't heard of her, but he doesn't really watch streams. He gets the impression that she is a low tier e-celeb and that she is very passionate about what she does. She likes entertaining other people and thinks it's great how people pay her to sit around in her underwear and play video games all day. There is nothing else she would rather be doing with her time.
• Oliver tries to subtly ask about what she does when she's not streaming or gaming and Zoe looks at him like he's crazy. She eventually says something about how she always tries to hang out with Mia and he asks when's the last time they did anything. The other day, right? Oliver remembers Mia talking about that and he asks about what they did. Mia watched her play a video game.
• Oliver just about had a brain aneurysm. So you took a break from playing video games so that your friend could watch you play a video game? Zoe looks at him like yes, and? Mia defends Zoe on this one, reminding Oliver that she is not very good at games and she does like watching Zoe play. Oliver mentally gives Zoe that but he still thinks she has a very specific type of brain rot going on.
• He tests this, asking her subtly if she ever does anything for fun outside the house. Zoe gets noticeably irritated at this, suddenly feeling as if she is being probed. Oliver backs off a little bit but she confirms she is very much an indoor person, joking about how it's probably been like half a year since she left the house. Oliver has trouble processing this, looking at Mia. Mia corrects her that it's actually been seven months. Zoe shrugged this off as if it's not a big deal.
• Oliver understands that looking down on Zoe for this lifestyle when he used to live a very similar one would be hypocritical of him. He didn't want to make any logical leaps and convince himself he was better than her or anything like that, but it was hard not to feel a little sorry for her. He was curious as to how she ended up like this, especially when she had someone as caring and loyal as Mia to look after her.
• Somewhere during the breakfast scene I'll work in a gag where Mia cuts herself with her butter knife somehow, continuing the subtle gag 'mierda' about how she's actually not that much less clumsy than her brothers.
• Breakfast is done and Zoe is very thankful but she also lazily tries to deflect dishwashing duty off to Mia, who reflexively is about to do them before Oliver stops her and reflects this to Zoe, saying that Mia made breakfast so it's only fair if they take care of her in return, right? Mia appreciates this, small AFF boost.
• Zoe, completely missing the point, tilts her head and says but Mia always does the dishes. Oliver retorts that Mia 'always does the everything'. Zoe is like yeah that's why she's the best? Oliver is starting to wonder whether Zoe was dropped on her head when kindergarten was teaching basic empathy. Mia is just sitting there awkwardly unable to comment.
• Oliver does get through to Zoe, convincing her it would show her their appreciation and it makes Mia feel very strange. Zoe basically outright tells him she's going to suck at this and he says that's fine you can just rinse and I'll scrub. He is astounded when she still finds a way to be lazy about rinsing the dishes. She is twitchy, uncomfortable, and vibrating. He asks if she needs some more caffeine but no it's just her attention span.
• She can't concentrate like this and looks physically unwell. Oliver ends up dismissing her and asking Mia for help. In reality, he just wants a moment alone with her to ask what the fuck is Zoe's problem. She's like everything older generations make fun of us for dialed up to eleven. He looked over his shoulder and sees that Zoe is on her phone, seemingly doing much better. Honestly, Mia is just happy that he got her to try.
• Oliver genuinely wonders how she got through high school. Mia awkwardly shuffles about. The implication is that she wouldn't have if Mia wasn't there to help and he's just like Jesus Christ...
• Mia is worried that he doesn't like her. No, it's not like that. She's... interesting, it's more that he's never gone from just meeting someone to instantly afraid of letting her out of his sight so fast before. Mia reiterated again that she didn't always used to be this bad and Oliver is admittedly more invested in finding out why. Mia points out y'ou feel it too, don't you?'
• Oliver says you mean that overwhelming sense in the back of my mind telling me 'I can fix her'? Mia says yep that's it. Oliver sighs and openly wonders what he's gotten himself into. Mia gives him a quick kiss on the cheek and makes sure he knows how much she appreciates him standing up for her, tells him to keep doing it. Zoe is not totally unreasonable Mia is just unable to break through to her because again, doormat.
• He is vague about it but he thinks that getting along with Zoe is a lot easier than getting along with Stacy, so they will make it work. Mia is excited about this. She asks how much it will work, implying sexual things. Oliver calls her out on having a one track mind and in Mia's defense it's been hard to keep the idea of the three of them doing stuff together out of her mind ever since Zoe walked in that morning. Oliver warns her that if she talks like that he's going to need to drag her back to the bedroom. Mia gulps and says something suggestive about how that wouldn't be so bad only for Zoe to interrupt them, asking if they were done flirting yet.
• They return to Zoe's company and she asked what they are going to do today, remembering that Mia should be at work. Mia leaned on all her saying that she was taking the day off to decompress and celebrate them getting together. Things have been hectic since it happened and they haven't really had a chance to settle down and enjoy it yet. Zoe says that's cool, she can leave them alone if that's what they want.
• Mia says that they were actually hoping to spend the afternoon with her so that Oliver could get to know her better. She didn't expect they would have this chance, but now that they do they might as well take it. Oliver agrees and Zoe is happy because she has a fun idea. There is a game she wants to play- imagine that.
• Zoe asks Oliver if he plays a lot of games as an aside, he might finally let it slip here that he is a big fan of dating sims- mostly because his guard is lowered by Zoe's forwardness. He's instantly regretful after having set it and Zoe is like, what, you mean like porn games? Mia has his back, saying not every dating sims is a porn game. Mostly just the good ones. Mia is actually kind of pleased to find out about this, he never told her this before.
• It's something he's embarrassed about, obviously, but they have a moment where she shows acceptance. Zoe rudely breaks up the moment they're having and says you play other games, right? Just want to make sure you've got some skill for what she's about to suggest. Mia has a bad feeling about this and is like wait, you're not going to...
• Zoe smiles evilly, name dropping the game in question she wants to play. The game is a Mario Party esque title, although it's more closer to the friendship ruining Dokapon Kingdom.
• Mia has a PTSD like response to hearing this. That game is savage and for demons. Rebecca cried the last time they all played it together. She is sitting out on this and recommends that Oliver not fall for it. Zoe teases Mia that she hasn't heard her out yet, was thinking of making things fun for them by way of a bet. Oliver is in the know, Mia isn't and is curious.
• Zoe continues to nonchalantly tease, homing in on her fetish and asking Mia if she actually wants that kind of shit. Mia is skeptical but is getting flustered, obviously into it. She asked where she's going with this and Zoe casually says maybe if your friend here manages to beat me he'll get a little reward, yeah? Oliver is still nervous about all this but Mia is pretty predictably losing her composure. She changes her tune, thinking he should play with Zoe after all.
• Oliver finds this side of her very cute and doesn't have much hope of resisting her desires, and he's eager to see if his new skill has any effect on Zoe. It would be good to get the upper hand on her because he still feels on pins and needles. Oliver wants to know what happens if he loses and Zoe doesn't really care, he can go buy her some gulpies or something.
• He asks a bit more about the game, it's very RNG heavy but there are items and skill-based mini games to help balance it out. He can't wait for Monday to come and give him access to lucky bastard again, but Zoe asked him to trust her so he assumes she's going to try and throw the match since it would make Mia happy. He accepts and they all get comfy on the couch together, Mia laying across his lap and Zoe splayed out in a revealing pose.
• The game begins.

Playing with Zoe and then Mia

• Playing this game is suffering. The mechanics feature constant random events that shrink the size of the player's kingdom and encourage them to backstab each other nonstop. It's an emotional roller coaster. One minute he's on top of the world, the next Zoe is cackling like a witch at his misfortune. He has no idea how she's planning on throwing the game because both of them rubber band back and forth for first place seemingly every turn.
• They've been at it for an hour and a half now. We get down to the last couple turns and things are very dire. Oliver and Zoe are both at the edge of their seats, Mia has had to get up off of his lap because of how intense the game is but she's still watching just as enraptured as the two of them. It's clear she's excited about getting to live out one of her fantasies. Her hand is on Oliver's knee, gripping it white knuckles tight.
• They get down to the last minigame and Zoe is seemingly still playing to win. This is the deciding factor. Five spaces of land are up for grabs and it all comes down to whoever can tap the button fast enough in a darkly comedic minigame where tapping it causes a guillotine to execute traitors. It's pretty close but Zoe pretends to jab her finger into the button too hard, causing her to lose the entire game.
• The results are tallied up and Oliver is declared the winner. Mia is seriously excited, though she gets more reserved when Zoe teases her for being so fucked up. Oliver defends Mia's fetish, small AFF boost, and Zoe is chill about it. The vibe between the three of them is actually pretty good right now. Oliver has definitely seen a lot of what Mia sees in her by now. Zoe is a very fun person to be around and she raises the energy level several times over just by being present. Furthermore, she's funny, and she deeply cares for Mia in her own way.
• The path ahead didn't seem as murky as it did when she barged in on them a few hours ago. He still had reservations about her, but he admits to himself that there might be something here. As to what that might be, he isn't sure, but he's interested in finding out.
• Before they talk about the reward, Zoe has another positive moment where she appears genuinely grateful that he played the game with her. She hasn't gotten to play that one in ages and it was really fun for her. She gets a medium AFF boost- cementing to Oliver that a quick way to get close to Zoe is playing games with her. He is not surprised by this.
• It's Mia who brings up the reward, asking what Zoe had in mind. She gets teased for being eager again but they quickly move along and Zoe says it's really up to Mia. He is her boyfriend, after all. It all depends on what she's comfortable with, Zoe is down with whatever. Mia says don't give me ideas, Zoe corrects and says well obviously I'm not going to have sex with him, but-
• Mia freezes up at this offhanded comment, lost in her daydream and practically drooling. Zoe and Oliver have a funny moment where they just look at her like this and mutually comment on how far gone she is. She snaps out of it and apologizes. Mia tells Zoe that so long as it isn't anything that they haven't already done together, she's fine with anything as well.
• Zoe rolls her eyes at this telling her just pick something, otherwise they're just going to kiss. Mia mumbles that kissing would be good. She asks them to wait so she can get in a better position to watch this happen but Zoe says no need and straddles Oliver. You can see everything from here, right?
• Mia nods meekly. She also warns not to sit in his lap. Zoe cackles at this like all my God do do you have a boner? To his credit, Oliver doesn't shy away from this and is like your tits are falling out of your tank top and your halfway to smothering me with them, why the fuck wouldn't I? Zoe likes this, minor AFF boost.
• She leans in and whispers something quick to Oliver before going at it. Let's fuck with her a bit. Follow my lead. Oliver has every intention of doing so and Zoe goes in for a kiss. Mia is watching breathless but is incredibly let down when it lasts for only a second, equating to a quick peck on the lips. Zoe gets off of him and acts like her job is done, Mia's disappointment immeasurable. Oliver recognizes the chance that Zoe set up for him and is greatly appreciative, capitalizing on it mercilessly.
• Side note, he gets the first kiss milestone.
• He teases Mia over the kiss not being enough. She is defensive, tries to play it off, but they get her to admit she was hoping for something more... dramatic. Zoe tells her if she is more specific then she might get what she wants. Mia is bullied into admitting she wanted to watch them make out. Zoe jokes that she barely knows this dude, Mia is downtrodden but there is a twinge of satisfaction in her expression, like the humiliation makes her happy. Sad eyes, happy smile is a good way to put it. It's very erotic for Oliver, even more than the idea of kissing Zoe is.
• The smile makes all the difference. Without it, he wouldn't be into this, but he's very careful to keep an eye on her and make sure it doesn't switch to all out depression. It's not going to, it's just to make him look good.
• Zoe continues teasing, playing coy and asking Oliver what he things. Should they really do this? Oliver reaffirms that Mia has been a good girl for him so he thinks she deserves it. His hand brushes her nameplate, causing Zoe to notice it for the first time. Wait, did you get a new one of those?
• Mia is slightly bummed Zoe didn't notice until now but didn't expect anything less. She confirms that Oliver got it for her and Zoe says of course he did. She then relents, making a show of straddling him again and saying something along the lines of never say I care about you, you little freak.
• Oliver than makes out with Zoe and his new tongue skill goes into action. He feels much less clumsy about this and more like he knows generally what to do with his mouth. Mia watches this happen, feeling very aroused. We get some minor observations from her POV her that show she recognizes he is kissing Zoe way more passionately than he's ever kissed her before but it's not phrased like she is getting jealous about it in a bad way necessarily. It goes on for about half a minute before Zoe pulls away.
• She isn't super weirded out, but she is kind of casually like well, that was weird. She references this being her first time and doesn't see what the big deal is, personally. The kiss did not lead into an affection boost, so the skill didn't activate. He's a bit puzzled by this but he guesses it just means that kissing doesn't do much for Zoe. Zoe politely tells him to stop staring at her and deal with his girlfriend before she makes a mess.
• Mia stutters that she's not going to make a mess, but her hand is already trying to go inside of her pants and Mia is squirmy as all hell. Oliver asks if she needs some help and Mia admits it would probably do her some good, yeah. Zoe is satisfied with what she's accomplished, rolling off of him and immediately getting out her phone. Her work is done, and her fans probably miss her, anyway. She tells them she need to check for socials so you two go have fun. Mia is way ahead of her and drags Oliver back to her bedroom.
• He is surprised by her passion as she pushes him down on her bed, then get on top of him and makes a pouting expression. She confronts him about that kiss just now. You kissed Zoe way harder than you've ever kissed me. Oliver is worried that he's in trouble, cursing himself for not thinking about this potential reaction. Instead of taking the easy way out and lying, he tells her the truth. Zoe messed with him this morning while Mia was gone and he tried and show her what she got for underestimating him. It doesn't really seem like it worked.
• Mia elaborates that she wasn't jealous. No? Well, not in a bad way... he teases her for liking to be made jealous but comforts her that she is the most important girl to him and that he'll give it to Mia even harder if she wants. She does, and the kiss. The look on her face is shocked. The kiss feels really, really good for her, and when he pulls away it gets activated, showing that yeah, Zoe just didn't like getting kissed.
• Mildly upsetting but barely something he can dwell on when he's got Mia to deal with. A lewd scene happens but it's not going to be a long one/fully written, and they don't do anything new for it. They mutually get each other off while continuing the new kissing style. She's even easier to please with it and calms down an half hour and three climaxes later while Oliver shot two off.
• They're basking in the afterglow together and they are talking about how incredible it is that they can just do this stuff together now. Neither of them are used to it, but they are getting better at it. Oliver especially she points out. He says just cause he kisses better doesn't mean he's any less nervous, he's just getting better at hiding it.
• Mia is satisfied with this knowledge, says she's excited to see how much better he can get from here. The two share a cozy moment together where everything feels right. He then teases her about how she ended up with the world's weirdest fetish. She doesn't want to hear him call it that when he gets to reap the benefits. Fair enough.
• He asks if it was everything she wanted, Mia gets a little dreamy saying she'd always imagined watching Zoe kiss her future boyfriend but she never actually thought it'd happen. Oliver points out how that's not really something any random friend would just do for and Mia agrees, hopes that he sees why Zoe is special to her.
• Oliver admits to pretty much being won over by her at this point and they agree on a lot about her. She has a special charisma that makes her flaws bearable, maybe even endearing. Oliver asks why their relationship is so strained given what he's seen. Zoe doesn't seem to think there is any strain. Mia clarifies that if every day was like this then they would be fine. But Zoe's just going to get right back to her old ways as soon as she's unbanned, Mia is sure.
• Oliver says maybe they can do something about it this weekend. Show Zoe what she's missing out on. Mia reminds him that Sundays are her family day but if he wants to hang out tomorrow night, stay over, and do the same on Saturday that'd be cool. Weekends usually aren't the best time for Rebecca but she'll invite her, too. Doubt they could figure out anything fun enough to inspire her to develop a better work life balance but Mia appreciates that he wants to try for her.
• There's a cute moment where they feel like kids planning out sleepovers, wholesome stuff. Oliver asks if she wants to go and see if Zoe wants to hang out some more, but Mia is a little clingy and tells him that they have a week till she's unbanned. She'd rather hang back here and play Hellagers with him for the rest of the day, if that's cool. It is.
• It's still early enough for them to get high if she wants to, just throwing it out there. Mia is tempted but is still stubborn about not wanting to do that around him until they've been together a little longer. She already has enough trouble controlling her inhibitions, and Oliver understands, earning him a small AFF boost for being respectful. She's still not sure he should even have any after his last freak out but Oliver insists that it was a one time thing. Not sure if she believes that but dropped the matter, eager to play with him.

Before Bed

• Oliver hangs out with Mia for the rest of Thursday and it's a very casual affair. After how stressful and hectic his week had been and how thrilling this morning and afternoon were with Zoe, this was exactly what he needed. They play till around six  when Zoe offered to order everyone take out and he leaves at seven. Mia wants to do some drawing before bed and he isn't sure what he's going to do yet when he gets home.
• Pretty much as soon as he steps in he gets a call from his mom and we have another short interaction between them. She's calling to see if he wants to come see them this weekend and Oliver is vague with his plans, causing her to follow-up asking about the girl. He doesn't want to deal with making this a big thing so he's just dismissive and saying it's going pretty good. She asks him if there's anything he wants to do for his birthday this year, which is March 15th. tells him they could have dinner at his parents house like usual, you know, just you, us, and Bradley like always.
  • Given the pace the story is going, March 15th is several books away. Still better to set it up early for the eventual payoff. At this rate it might legitimately lead to him having at least three girlfriends by that time, leading to a very funny first encounter with his parents.
• Oliver isn't surprised about this but he does ask a little bit about Bradley. He gets some information from her about their imagined relationship and it's clear that his family is very fond of Bradley. Oliver sees no use in worrying about this and just accepts it, goes on to say he doesn't know what he's doing this year. Because of the girl, right? Again he is cagey about this, won't admit to it but yeah, maybe. His mom tells him he could always bring her over and he reacts like any awkward guy would, embarrassedly.
• The phone call ends casually, and Oliver decides what he wants to do with the rest of his night. He considers calling Bradley over because a lot has changed about the situation and he wants to have a strategy meeting but decides to have it in the morning. He texts Bradley and tells him to come over at around seven and they'll go to work together after talking. Oliver than showers and comes up with something to do while he's in there.
• He decides to look into Zoe's social media presence. This is not framed creepily nor is he going down a compulsive rabbit hole where he loses control of himself. Zoe is a public figure on the internet, it shouldn't be weird for him to look up LazySlothGaming and see what he finds. He finds her not-Twitter equivalent (Xeeter?) and scrolls through it slightly.
• We are also told that Oliver doesn't do much social media these days. He used to have accounts but purged them because of his mental health. It was partially because he was firmly entrenched in the black pilled side of not-Twitter and partially because that he had to come to terms with that as a compulsive person it was bad for his brain. He would spend hours scrolling through people's opinions only to realize he hated hearing what ninety-nine percent of the population had to say about anything- humans just weren't built to communicate in such a mass way.
  • Incorporating some of my own experiences here. Not saying that all social media is bad, it's just framed to give Oliver some more depth and he's not judging people who use it.
• He notices right away that Zoe's avatar and profile banner are clearly drawn by Mia, and so is her personal logo. Avatar is a chibi of Zoe while the banner is a pretty risqué pinup of her with controllers and wires draped around her. There's a joke here where all of her things she is clearly channeling her one-sided sexual attraction to Zoe and he wonders if he were to go through all of Mia's sketchbooks how much part of Zoe he would find. Or himself, for that matter.
• Because social media is like that, he's hit with a tangent immediately. Mia's profile is linked in Zoe's profile and he goes to check that out real quick. Mia has around two thousand followers, her pinned post (Xeet?) is a commission sheet, and her bio makes him happy because it points out she is taken and it doesn't take much to make him smile. He spends a couple minutes going through Mia's profile. She's not obsessively active or anything, she usually posts one lewd sketch a day and maybe a colored piece once or twice a week. All of them seem to be fanart of popular characters. She captions these with one word usually, very low-key.
• Oliver goes back to Zoe's profile after reminding himself of what he was trying to do in the first place.
• Zoe is pretty active on here and she almost has ten thousand followers, and it doesn't take him long to figure out why. She posts a lot of suggestive photos of herself- not suggestive enough that she comes off as a full on camgirl- just pics of her being her casual self while wearing revealing clothing. The captions he sees serve as some of the first hints as to her emotional issues. They are all very attention-seeking, pick me shit. Not outright asking her fans to love her but clearly needy.
• He's not judgmental about this, but he wonders if there's more to it than her just trying to utilize her sex appeal. She's very responsive and talks to just about every positive comment, even if it's just a thank you. He's a little stunned seeing just how active she is on here, wondering where she finds the time if she's supposed to be streaming as much as Mia says she does.
• He figures that checking out one of her streams would be interesting and help him get a better feel for her content. He remembers that Mia told him she shared his opinion about the last Kanemon game and decides to look up if she streamed it. She did, and he gets comfortable and casts it from his phone to his TV. Zoe was much the same as she was in real life. Very casual, pretty skimpily dressed, charismatic, fun, and high energy.
• Oliver notices that she is incredibly fixated on her chat. That's not especially noteworthy for a streamer, but she does often get distracted and it looks like her eyes are darting back and forth at a breakneck pace. He's starting to realize why her attention span might be so poor. Social media is proven to have that effect on people, but this kind of looks like terminal brainrot, speaking as someone who has experienced it himself.
• Despite this, he actually really enjoys watching her stream, and as said he's not even a stream kind of guy. Eventually, he starts to get tired and turns it off, ready to finish his day so he can wake up early to chat with Bradley. He thinks briefly about the situation going on between Mia and Zoe and he hopes he can do something to mend it.
• He does an obligatory jack off session before bed which spirals off into unexpected directions- he isn't just thinking of Mia, Zoe keeps popping up, too. Rather than feeling awkward about it, at least entirely, Oliver for the first time indulges in these fantasies. He feels a little guilty, sure, but it feels good more than he feels bad. He shrugs it off once he's done, saying he will unpack his feelings in the morning with Bradley.

Thoughts for what's next- Up next we'll have the Bradley morning scene, the workday will have a Tessa centric scene, they'll do something Friday night together at Mia's place, and I'm thinking Saturday is going to be a big moment for everyone. Mia, Zoe and Rebecca all hang out with him and it's going to be a really good day until there's a twist halfway through it- Zoe will have her temp ban lifted and we see how bad her addiction is as she essentially jumps up and drops hanging out with everyone to go stream again. This will probably actually get Mia to snap at her for once in her life and this is going to serve as a pivotal moment for Oliver.

He's going to realize that the only way to make things right between them is to make Zoe have a reason to leave her room more often- by making her crazy about him. This will be treated maturely, he's not just going to be like okay I need to make her fall in love with me and that's that. Just saying that's the direction it will head.

Also Mia's third HE should be soon by this point, it'll be locked behind Style but he has enough points to just brute force his way past it. She's not feeling inspired with her art and will ask him to model for her. She can't hide the wrist thing from him during this and opens up about it. Will end in first blowjob.

Nothing major planned for Stacy in the next chunk of stuff, maybe something on Sunday.
