《Reaching For the Stars》Chapter 32

[Redde: "Haha, I was actually there with Charlie too!"]
Woah woah woah, Reed, you have to chill if you don't want people to find out who you are. Or maybe he wants people to know who he is already.
[Charlie: "Haha you were the one telling me not to play the piano."]
[Redde: "I was only trying to stop you from showing off."]
[Rykun: "Woah you guys also live near each other?"]
[bzoomster: "I mean, they seemed pretty close when Charlie first started playing with us."]
[Poodlefluff: "Wow! Wouldn't it be cool if everyone here just lived together?"]
[Yvettel: "Oh my god that would be so fun!"]
In my past life, there'd be groups of streamers that would get together, buy a house, and live together while doing videos and vlogs. It seems people haven't done that here, yet?
[Rykun: "Wow that'd be fun but if we live together and people found out where we live wouldn't it be dangerous for everyone? Since we're all together. Someone could set the house on fire or something and everyone's things would be done for."]
Ah, the subject of safety. On Earth, there were radical fans who broke into homes to see their favorite streamers and talk to them. It never resulted too greatly because the streamers wouldn't feel safe at all and would probably move somewhere else.
I mean, it's cool to talk with your fans. That's what fan meetings and meet and greets are for.
[LoafofBread: "I mean, if we never reveal our location it'd be pretty difficult for people to find us I think. No one knows where we live, right? Just don't click on weird links and don't give out your e-mail and everyone's fine."]
[blacklily: "Yes that's right. We just keep doing what we've been doing to protect ourselves and it'll be the same in the other house."]
[wipL: "I love how we're planning to live together. Is everyone actually committed to this? Because I really like this idea."]
[Juliamn: "Dude it'd be so fun. Just imagine the pranks and fun."] We could all practically hear the excitement and mischievousness in his voice.
[blacklily: "I'd be down. I think this is something to discuss like later in private."]
[bzoomster: "Yeah, we're all over age here though so I don't think there'd be many problems with the issue of age."]
I coughed mentally. Reed, did you tell them you're older than 16 years?
Reed and I stayed quiet.
[Rykun: "I mean Charlie seems pretty young so if you're uncomfortable with it just say it when we discuss it in private."]
[Charlie: "Oh yeah of course. I like the idea."]
They all burst into excitement and couldn't wait to talk about this later. Streaming comes first, though.
Honestly, it would be pretty fun.
I'd like to stay with my family for as long as possible, though. Try to spend time with my parents and sister here that Pangaea Charlie neglected before.

They'd be pretty sad if, right after I began coming out of my shell, I left. I also don��t really know the streamers too well yet. It's been literally a week since we've known each other.
Crazy to think we're already discussing these things as if we've known each other for years.
It does feel like we've known each other for years, though.
When I get famous, that's when I'll probably move though. My parents and sisters would be very bothered because at this point it's hard to keep my privacy.
All the paparazzi, people snooping around, and surely my home would be found out if I kept coming back to it every night.
[blacklily: "Anyway, Charlie you have to show us your songs! I really liked that first one, what's it called?"]
[Charlie: "Oh it's called Canon in D."]
[Yvettel: "I literally got instant chills when I heard it."]
[Rykun: "Dude same, please play it for us, Charlie."]
[bzoomster: "Yeah. I think I liked the one in the other video though."]
[LoafofBread: "There's another fricking video? Wait what link it."]
[blacklily: "Wait what?! Link it!!!"]
[Yvettel: "Oh I saw it but I thought it was the same video…"]
Weird because in one video I was wearing my casual clothes and on the other, I was wearing the cafe attire.
Wait, is she colorblind?
Bzoomster sent the video in chat.
[bzoomster: "I have it saved and I've listened to it like 10 times already or something lol."]
He continued,
[bzoomster: "Charlie I didn't know that was you though. But when you showed your face I thought you were really familiar."]
Hoh, things are lining up pretty neatly.
[Charlie: "Yeah… I didn't know people were recording me. Well now you guys know where I am so come over to my house."]
[Redde: "The hell Charlie. You haven't even invited me to your house, yet."]
Hah, that's true. We've been friends for only a week though. Maybe I'll invite everyone in the friend group one day…
Wait. Wait wait.
[blacklily: "Hoh~ What will you two do in your house?"]
Ah, shoot. Why'd she have to add a hidden meaning?
[Poodlefluff: "Hehe."]
The guys stayed quiet and it was not until later that I saw the clips where they were just saluting us while staying quiet.
[Redde: "Lily please chill."]
[LoafofBread: "Please calm yourselves."] We all began laughing.
[blacklily: "Right so, please play the songs on the piano Charlie!!!"]
Well, this is awkward. Do I tell them I don't have a piano at home?
Or say it's getting some repairs and then buy the piano when I can?
Well, it's not like they'll call me out if they found out about the lie though.
[Charlie: "Oh it's currently getting repairs…Maybe I'll play for you guys later."]
[blacklily: "Argh! Damn it. Do you have the sheet music though? Pleaseee I really want to learn it."]

[Charlie: "You play the piano too?"]
[Poodlefluff: "Yah! She's really good at it too."
Well, by giving her the sheet music I'm merely stopping her from wasting time.
Figuring out the notes in a song is not difficult to do if you've got good music theory and a good ear. Of course, it might take a while since the variations I added were a little weird and they don't have a base upon to tell the variations.
Someone would probably figure out all the notes within a week or even less.
Hmm. Is there something for perfect pitch in the store?
I've always wanted to show off in a public by hearing some random songs and playing some crazy improvisation.
Perfect pitch is the ability to instantly deduce notes without using a reference tone.
If you don't understand it, it's basically a Sharingan but in the music world.
Ooh, that reminds me. I should probably draw up Naruto and publish it sometime later.
I never did finish the series though…
I only watched the first Naruto, but I never watched Shippuden…
Argh, damn it.
Well, whatever.
[Charlie: "Yeah, I can give you the sheet music just give me a while."]
Well, I'm going to need a sheet music software for this. No way I'm writing it in paper.
I'll gift it to her and then probably set it up for a few dollars in an online store or something.
[blacklily: "Woo! Thanks!!!!!"]
[Charlie: "Yup yup, it's nothing."]
[Rykun: "Oh right Charlie, do you have your Minecraft account yet? If you don't I have one I could send you it."]
I look up in my games section. And unsurprisingly I never won a giveaway for a Minecraft account.
[Charlie: "Oh… No sorry. I only found out about this game today through chat."] Technically, I'm not lying.
[Juliamn: "WHATTTT! YOU'VE NEVER PLAYED IT?"]
[Charlie: "Uh no… is it popular?"] No duh, it's popular it's the greatest game in existence.
[Juliamn: "Okay let's set up a server quickly and show Charlie what he's been missing."]
Oh damn.
[blacklily: "I have one set up already, let me reinitiate it's plan quickly."]
…
And so we spent the rest of the day playing Minecraft.
[Everyone: Byeee Charlie!!!]
We spent the evening playing together and we all just felt so much closer and comfortable with each other.
I waved goodbye to my chat and gave them a brilliant smile.
After seeing eye-bleach inducing thirst comments I laughed it off and went offline.
I look at the window and notice the moon is already down.
Earlier, I ate dinner with my family and spent some time with them but I had a stream and people waiting for me to come back.
I'll ask them if they want to go shopping sometime later when I've got enough financial balance.
Staring into the moon, I recline into my seat and merely gaze at the night sky for a while.
I lose myself in my thoughts with a peaceful and serene atmosphere.
Bruno Mars's 'Talking to the Moon' is a great song. It's unfortunate that in this life my vocal cords aren't very developed.
I was able to sing pretty well in my past life. Not amazingly, but pretty decently. Fortunately, I do know the correct technique, and how to vibrate my voice. The power of the voice will just have to come naturally.
I'll sing Talking to the Moon as one of my first songs. It's very good and would be a hit. Especially if I get the support of the Knife Agency.
I should contact John.
[Ding!]
I heard the otherwordly chime within my mind.
[Congratulations to the host! The title 'Trending' has now turned into 'Hot Topic'! The system would like to congratulate the host!]
Oooh, that's great.
[Host has been rewarded with:
Silver Tongue, Passive/Active.]
[Silver Tongue]
[Grants eloquent speech.]
Well… that is a little strange. It's basically what the Charm stat already gave me…? Or is it?
It's a passive that I can activate or deactivate… The description is pretty vague though...
I activated it but didn't feel much different.
Something ticked in my brain and I felt some gears in my brain turning.
That's a strange sensation.
My speech definitely… exhibits a more refined tongue.
It is best I turn it off for now.
I turn off the passive and the strange sensation is removed from my brain.
I shake my head a little bit.
Well, I can use this in professional things. Probably activate this when I'm at the coffee shop, probably future interviews, not in the stream though.
Maybe sometimes on stream, but people generally like a more simple and fun guy. Of course, there'll be thirsts that'll like it, but that's why in different situations I'll be activating it.
Another train of thought passes and I am reminded about the achievement points I earned earlier today.
Well, all of this progress is very motivating. This is very exciting.
I did a few achievements and the number of stream watchers, and viral piano video viewers should have netted me some achievement points.
System, please show me my achievement points.
[Ding!]
[Total Achievement Points: 1845]
Oh, brother…
Since I last checked on Wednesday, I've earned 1273 achievement points.
I check the Achievement egg and it's at 1845 / 3000.
Well, I'll be getting my 2nd luck point in no time.
