018 - Starytube Stream

[nastyboy]

[First of all, there's a link posted on the Pokegear network from one Dimitri Alexandre Blaiddyd. As in, literally posted, you might have to copy paste it into the address bar? He's doing his best, bless him.]

Gremlin is doing streams for charity on his channel. Please support him. Thank you.

[And those who follow the link will find a stream shortly starting up on Staryutube, for a user called DABrat! Gremlin the Rattata is set up on, like.... so many little cushions on what looks like a tried and true gamer's chair, squeaking happily as Dimitri gingerly makes sure his little Rattata-sized headset is fit on perfectly.]

[Did you know that they make headphones just for Rattata? Now you do!]

[With that done with, Gremlin excitedly waves both of his tiny little rat hands up at the camera, and Dimitri smiles as well.]

Hello again, everyone. Gremlin has decided to make this month's series of streams very special. Since it is October, he has thought that he would do a horror game playthrough every day. All donations he gets from these streams will go right to charity!

[Gremlin gestures ENTHUSIASTICALLY.]

[....Behind both Dimitri and Gremlin, in the neon-lit gloom from the rest of the room, a shape begins to form, with the faint red glow of eyes towering there in the shadows.]

For those who managed to send their donations in during specified times, they will even get to put forth what horror game that they would like to see Gremlin play. He has managed to amass a bit of a collection just for this month, and we are also not afraid to buy things if they are readily available.

[The mysterious shadowy figure slowly fades away. Dimitri and Gremlin remain none the wiser.]

Chat, you know that you must behave as is proper while we finish setting up, and then we will be taking the first suggestions!

[ooc: WELCOME TO GREMLIN'S HALLOWEEN CHARITY STREAM please ignore the chat and what they say about Dimitri, because he sure is

Basically how this will work is that you can assume that - so long as they donated! - your character can suggest whatever horror game they like for Gremlin to play, and that can be threaded out to varying degrees! Alternatively, they can just comment and chill as Gremlin plays games with Dimitri there to offer commentary, and make sure his rat is doing well.

This will basically happen for long hours during all of October, so you can have your character comment whenever. This also ensures anyone can suggest whatever game and be guaranteed Gremlin will play it.

Suggested games can be completely made up, or Poke-parodies of actual horror games. If you're having trouble thinking of them, I have a whole spreadsheet of various horror games that you can riff off of.

Happy October!]

[This is so. So cute. From the tiny headphones, the gamer chair... Shiro's going to die from adorable.]

Well, I'm in. You've won me over -

[Hold up.]

[He points at the screen, frowning.] There's - Dimitri, did you pick up a ghost type?

[Emporio waves at the shadowy figure. Hey there bud, you're surely just another friend right?

Does ghost attraction ping through pokegears

Anyway he sent a donation-]

I've got a suggestion, but it's pretty new? Like...this year- it's a small game though so hopefully you can get it?

It could be a good one for a 'breather' day, since it fits the theme but isn't really bloody or scary in the way most horror games are. 'Our Cheery Block.'

If I had to pick one, maybe Midnight Grove could be a good candidate? I think that I must have seen the game while I was scrolling the Internet during the stamp rally and I was curious to see what the gameplay is like.

(Granted, this is coming from a man who probably never heard of a gaming livestream in ever (being a wizard from 1990’s Britain) but he is all in for a Halloween charity in spite of the fact that the holiday was the very day his parents were killed.)

A clever idea. I've no interest in watching video games be played, but I'd like to donate just the same. A good cause is worth supporting.

Hello Gremlin! I do wish you luck in your gaming endeavors!
While I am taking a break from some personal research, might I suggest you play the title called "Morgrem's Midnight"?
It is a resource-management kind of game where the player is trying to survive in the woods during the day, and in an abandoned mansion in those woods in the night, where the building is haunted by sundry grim and trickster-like Pokemon, led by a Morgrem. I think there is an overarching mystery that is part of it as well? I've only heard snippets about it here and there, so I'm not quite sure what that mystery is, but the important thing is that it is apparently free to play.
Something about it being a "beta" version?
