Bloodlines Online

After getting approved as a streamer for the restaurant Ezekiel was given a choice like every other worker for that day.

He could take the day off since the workers needed to complete the new installations.

The alternative was to spend his shift advertising the new details of the restaurant.

Ezekiel chose to spend his day wandering through town with the flyers to hand out as he spent the day having fun.

It’s incredibly rare to be paid to just walk around all day and give out pieces of paper, all he had to do was return at the end of his shift to clock out.

While walking through the town he saw many people on the phone or talking through wireless headphones, all of them discussing the game as the various clips of streams were broadcast everywhere as advertisements.

Before each clip a disclaimer was shown that the clip came from a player who had streamed it and the developers had paid for the use of each clip.

Every single clip showed the beauty and realism of the game, from the life of the territories to the battles for experience.

At the end of one advertisement he even saw a video of a crazy devil running from a giant slime.

He remembered how he had tried to fight that thing so early on and it made him laugh.

At the end of the advertisement it showed a number of streamer IDs that could be viewed after the servers came back online.

Ezekiel saw a great chance to approach the people who had been watching and gave out the flyers.

”The Chateau will be updating to a more modern theme for the enjoyment of it’s patrons, employees who play the game will be streaming to the tables while customers eat.”

He then gave an exaggerated bow.

”Including yours truly.”

After giving a few papers to the group there so they could also give them to friends and family he moved on.

His plan was to go to his highschool and leave flyers everywhere.

The different varsity teams would also be practicing at the time, the girls track team and the boys soccer team specifically would be training that day.

While at his school Ezekiel put flyers up on every door as well as going through every locker after getting permission from the principal.

When he got to the fields he decided to go to the track first since it looked like the girls were just getting done while the boys were still playing.

”Hey girls.”

A few had seen him coming and greeted him before he waved to everyone.

”How was practice? Coach Salla running you to death yet?”

He put a few papers down on a bench with a rock to hold them down.

”Now mr Bennett you know I only train my stars to be the best!”

Coach salla was a tall woman who had previously been a student at the school herself before she went on to be a top 100 sprinter in the United States, they all made jokes about her hardcore training but most understood that it was a privilege to have her as the track coach.

”What ya got there Zeke?”

One of the team, a dark Jamaican girl named Hailey, approached to ask about the flyers.

”Oh well the Chateau is going to be starting a new craze, my uncle wants to pioneer some weird trend by having his workers stream BLO for the patrons while they eat.”

He gave each of them a flyer and surprisingly some of them showed interest as they began talking about it.

”Some of the employees will be gaming the whole shift right? Does that mean new positions will open up?”

”If it meant i could get and easy job I’d apply just to play the game.”

While they were discussing it Ezekiel excused himself and made his way to the soccer field to hand out more flyers.

On the field the team was just finishing practice as Ezekiel approached and one of the players reacted a bit negatively when he saw the black haired young man.

’Shit shit shit shit, it’s him. He’ll think im gross and smelly if he gets to close, dammit why is he here!’

He was a very skinny but well exercised young man that kept his brown hair long, he wanted to run to the shower to clean up before meeting his friend but he didn’t get the chance.

”Hey Jay, show the team who’s the king?”

Ezekiel clapped James on the back with a laugh while handing out flyers to the team.

”Uh yeah man, I scored six goals.”

’Stop touching me oh god i stink, please go away Zeke.’

While he was trying to get away he heard his friend talking about the flyers, specifically he heard that the local restaurant Ezekiel worked at would be streaming their employees who played BLO.

Then he heard Ezekiel say that he plays as well.

’He plays too? Oh god should I try to add him? But he’ll see my character isn’t normal...’

While thinking about what he should do James came to a decision.

’I’ll watch one of his streams tomorrow.’
