Chapter 5
"h.e.l.lo," Said Theodore with a charming deep voice
'Ooo I may have just fallen in love with my voice. Let's try a soft tone' Thought Theodore
"Tender, Moist," Said Theodore with a soft and alluring tone
'Umm, should I just sign up to be a call boy. If that's even a thing. Well, it seems I have two different tones guess I can read books on stream. It would be better with new works' Thought Theodore
With his Magic and a new Narrator voice, he got to work on creating a beautiful routine that should cause a stir within the audience. He couldn't just rely on one trick but he does need one big trick.
The trick to keeping an audience is the build-up and the antic.i.p.ation of something better. Though the same can't be said about streaming.
With steaming it is difficult due to timing and luck. Timing is purely based on how long you can entertain an audience. Luck is whether anyone will see your stream out of the millions that have already gained dedicated fans.
Theodore was standing in the living room with a
metallic box. The box was his camera. He held it in the air facing the couch before letting it go as it hovered perfectly in the air.
"BoxCam, Sync," Said Theodore
The floating box released a flash of light that then asked "State priority"
"mute all background noises instruction does not apply to my voice, Rose's voice and Icy. Keep the camera on me at all times unless I give a signal to pan. The signal is this," Said Theodore as he pointed to the side
"Instructions. One, mute background noise, does not apply to Theodore, Rose and Icy's bark. Two, the camera on you at all time's unless signalled. Can you confirm these instructions" Said The BoxCam with a flat robotic voice
"Confirm" Said Theodore
"Instruction has been applied," Said The BoxCam.
Theodore quickly ran to his bedroom and found a large metal rod that was similar to his hologram phone.
Pulling at the side a large hologram screen popped out. From the bottom, a keyboard popped out. This was the hologram laptop.
It could be argued that the Phone and laptop could just be made into one item but that doesn't make as much money.
Theodore downloaded the WideView app on it and signed in. He synced his camera feed to the laptop. He looked at the time and it was time for him to cook dinner.
He quickly whipped up a tuna pasta salad. A cheap dinner that is still healthy and is a personal favourite of Rose. After a few minutes, the smell of a home-cooked meal spread through the house.
The sound of a set of footsteps come running from the living room. What came running was Rose.
She had somehow lost her purple leggings and was now just in her diaper and red top.
Beside her was her new friend Icy, who's tongue was now out and had eyes filled with hunger.
Rose's little head raised and sniffed before asking "Din-din"
"Yep, din-din and it's your favourite Tuna Pasta Salad," Said Theodore
"Pata! Yay" Said Rose excitedly as she tried to climb up her high chair.
"Wash hands first," Said, Theodore as he picked up Rose and had her wash her hands in the sink.
After was.h.i.+ng her hands, he dished her a small bowl and himself a bowl with a cup of water and a sippy cup.
As they were just about to dig in they heard Icy whine sadly. Looking down they saw Icy had to retreat his doggy bowl and was looking up at them with a pleading look.
Rose looked at her sad friend and then looked back at her food, and shouted while hugging her bowl "No Icy, my din-din"
*Sniffle, Woof, Woof* Said Icy
Rose then looked back at her dad and said "Icy, din-din?"
Theodore pulled out a can of dog food before walking over to Icy and pouring it in his bowl.
The little family of three wholeheartedly enjoyed dinner. After dinner, Theodore prepped the bathtub and got Rose her water toys. Rose and Icy had a nice wash.
With a simple thought, he made a clone of himself that would watch over Rose. As he took a quick shower and change into something more appealing.
Wearing an oversized yellow hoodie to hide his overhanging stomach and blue jeans. Hair swept slightly to the side.
His face a was bit on the chubby side but it still had its own charm like his grey eyes that had a metallic s.h.i.+ne to it.
He went back to the living room and saw that his daughter was playing with her toys while Icy chewed on a bone in the corner.
"Hey, Princess do you want to play" Said Theodore as he sat down next to her on the couch
"Yes, play please" Said Rose with an exciting nod
"Okay," Said Theodore as he set his laptop up on the coffee table making sure that it was in full view.
Then he clicked the stream b.u.t.ton without any hesitation.
Taking a deep breath he looked directly at the hovering BoxCam and gave an introduction "Hi, this my first stream so please bare with if I appear to be nervous or even make a mistake. My name is Theo please ignore my ID"
(Note: Name changed from "Single_Dad" to "All-Mighty_Single-Dad")
Even though he didn't have any viewers he still introduced himself because he planned to keep the full recording on his channel.
"Hmmm???" Rose looked Theodore confusedly wondering what he was doing.
Then she looked at the laptop and saw herself and Theodore. She asked "Watch, dad and Rose?"
"Yep, let's play magic," Said Theodore as he clicks his fingers as a long black wand appears.
