When Hyacinth comes home to her new apartment for the first time after a long day at university, it's to the sight of moving bots just finishing dropping off the last of her stuff and moving furniture into place. The full-immersion VR pod her parents gave her is safely hooked up in the pod room, her bed is in her bedroom, she has chairs and a desk and some bookshelves. Clothes are mostly still in boxes, waiting to be hung up in the closet. Holovid and a cozy chair occupy the living room. She doesn't have any food in the small kitchen yet.
"Nice. I've got a lot of highlight clips downloaded myself. I find her daily life streams are usually too slow for me. Though I do tune in to her educational ones from time to time. I think my favorite was that one time where she demonstrated cunnlingus technique on a live model."
"Oh that one was excellent." She grins. "The point, though, is that she's got a big resources section, and if we ask for help find kinky queer or plural potential partymates in Parcosia, we will get a bunch of sweet and helpful dorks excitedly reaching out, and probably some curated suggestions from mods in her community."
"Sounds like a great plan. Do it!"
She smirks. "And optionally some of the sweet and helpful dorks."
"Aye aye."
Hailey flicks her fingers swiftly for a moment, and then a stream window appears, along with another for the chat. What's Ishaza up to on stream?
The stream is presently occupied by a "we'll be right back" buffer, behind which Ishaza can be seen sipping tea in the nude.
There is a thick sheaf of papers to the right of Ishaza, indicative of one of her better-researched rants.
Chat looks slow.
Common business practices in mainstream porn talent recruitment.
AchingHeart: I still can't believe how many cases there are of actors simply never getting paid
AchingHeart: even after putting their reputations on the line and everything
KissandTell: porn industry sucks ofc
KissandTell: not news imo, but go off
KissandTell: shaza does it better
Sacculina: What tea blend does Ishaza drink, anyone know?
Dragonfuckerxxx: check the wiki
Dragonfuckerxxx: a jasmine blend i think
Dragonfuckerxxx: it changes monthly
Hailey shakes her head and laughs. "She has such good rants."
With a bit of mental typing, she messages the chat.
Hailey (Pirates ๐ดโโ ๏ธ): It's "Ishaza calls the industry out" day again? Good shit. How're y'all?
Sacculina: Hey Hailey

Hailey (Pirates ๐ดโโ ๏ธ): Good to meet y'all, Amaranthine.
She looks over at Hibiscus. "Mind if I tell the chat about y'all?"
"Sure, go ahead. It's not traceable back to our air quotes 'real name' after all."
Amaranthine (๐ฅ): Good to meet you too, Hailey
Amaranthine (๐ฅ): Sacculina was telling us about you&

Amaranthine (๐ฅ): It's late for our current schedule and we're very blurry

Sacculina: grats

AchingHeart: Are you dating just one girl or a few?
Hailey (Pirates ๐ดโโ ๏ธ): Hyacinth and Hibiscus. Absolutely adorable newly-self-discovered system of two.
Hailey (Pirates ๐ดโโ ๏ธ): Currently just dating the one system.
Hailey (Pirates ๐ดโโ ๏ธ): Also getting more active in CORA. Told Hya and Hibi we'd see if y'all could help us find compatible sorts to party up with.
Hailey (Pirates ๐ดโโ ๏ธ): So, any of you dorks in Parcosia?
Amaranthine (๐ฅ): We're parcosia region

Sacculina: look up the Gay Blades guild
Hailey (Pirates ๐ดโโ ๏ธ): @searchforbooty More like found the plurality that was already happening, but yes, we did. Hold your applause.

Hailey (Pirates ๐ดโโ ๏ธ): @Sacculina Good shit, will do. Thanks.
New window, guild search for the Gay Blades?
She smirks over at Hibi and laughs. "What'd we tell ya?"
The Gay Blades are a social LGBT guild operating out of a merchant manor in Cordova. They don't have much advertising, just a basic card with their address and a guild officer contact - one Kitara Sky.
To Amaranthine:
Two days hike west of Cordova, Duchy of Parcosia. You?
To Kitara Sky:
Hi there. My girlfriend and I are a couple queer girls looking to find an LGBT-friendly guild. We're a few days out from Cordova. Any chance we could meet up sometime soonish?
To Amaranthine:
Figures you'd be at the opposite end of the duchy. Could try to meet up somewhere in between. Santarriral maybe?
To Kitara Sky:
Sacculina, from Ishaza's stream chat. Being selective seems smart in your shoes, honestly.
Santarirral works for us. Probably a week's journey for us but worth it to meet another sys in person.
