"Viewers? You stream? And they willingly watch you?" Schlatt inquires whilst holding in a laugh.
I roll my eyes and look at my chat.
User69420: omg is that schlatt????
"Yes, user 69420. That, unfortunately, is Schlatt," I reply.
"Are you seriously reading your chat in front of me? Have you no twitch etiquette-?"
"Would you two stop bickering like an old married couple and let Natalie fix the fucking code?" Ted scolds.
"Yeah Schlatt, let me fix the fucking code," I say, scanning over the code for inconsistencies.
"Just do your job woman, or I'll assume you scammed us." He says cracking his knuckles near his mic menacingly.
"I haven't even gotten paid yet," I mutter, trying to focus on the lines in front of me.
"Ted, I'm thinking," Schlatt states.
"Oh yeah, Schlatt? What are you thinking?" Ted replies.
"I'm thinking that since she messed up the first time, Natalie doesn't get paid," Schlatt continues.
"No way. I've spent the last two days working on this shit. Either I get paid or it doesn't get fixed," I threaten.
"If you've spent the last two days working on it, why did it not run correctly... hmm?" Schlatt argues back.
"I don't know! Maybe if you'd shut the fuck up I'd be able to figure it out!" I snap back at him, my chat loving the drama.
"Coding is hard, Schlatt," Travis interjects, "give her a break man."
"Shut up Travis. They call me the coding comrade, I know more about coding than all of you combined." He refutes back, meanwhile, I'm taking the gap in the conversation to find the errors in my code.
Quickly muting my mic when I spot the problem, "Chat this is an amateur mistake, I don't even know how I did this-" I start to tell them, only to realize that I was not on mute.
"Oh my god. Did you hear that guys? We hired an amateur!" Schlatt yells while laughing.
"It's all good Nat, honestly better it was a small mistake than a larger one!" Charlie reassures me.
I can still hear Schlatt laughing maniacally in the background when I correct the final mistake, resending it to Ted.
"My bad guys, I should've inspected the code closer," I apologize to the group.
Everyone except for Schlatt, who is still chuckling, accepts my apology and moves on with their streams.
"Hey Nat, do you want to stick around, just to be sure that the code keeps working?" Charlie asks.
"Sure, I'm still live though so I've gotta provide some sort of entertainment," I reply.
"You can spectate us!" Travis offers.
"Sure, what's the IP?" I ask them.
"I'll send it in the group chat," Ted responds, typing it into the group chat.
"If anyone in our chats wants to watch all of our perspectives, go and watch ..." Charlie trails off mid-sentence.
"St4rryn1ght," I finish.
"Go and watch st4rryn1ght on twitch for all points of view, guys," Charlie restates to the different chats.
"Don't do that-" Schatt says, objecting to the idea
All of a sudden, my view count skyrockets, and my notifications are flooded with new followers.
"Holy shit!" I exclaim, "Welcome in everybody!" I say, slightly startled by the influx in viewership at such an alarming rate.
Typing in the IP off stream, I add it to my server list and join.
Immediately I'm bombarded with practically everyone in the call surprised by my gamer tag.
"Holy shit, you only have four letters!?" Cooper exclaims.
"No way! That's so cool!" Travis gushes.
"What can I say? I've been playing a long time,"
"Star? With a four for the A? What is this, Roblox?" Schlatt scoffs.
"Oh my god, I can't do anything right!" I complain.
"You sure as hell can't," he says as his character approaches mine with a diamond ax equipped.
"Schlatt, no, wait, we can talk this out," I plead.
"I'm not afraid to hit a woman," he retorts, "in fact, back in 1999..."
"NO NOT 1999!!" Charlie yells, jumping down from a tree and hitting Schlatt. "NEVER AGAIN!"
Schlatt's character gets punched off a hill and a death message appears in the chat.
"Charlie..." Ted starts. As soon as the name leaves his mouth, the respawn options pop up on my screen.
"IT WORKED!" I shout. "I FIXED IT!"
