Theo was watching Bandsy’s stream with only a half-hearted interest. Bandsy was playing that shooter game she always played, one that Theo still couldn’t remember the name of. To be fair, this time Theo’s attention was divided. She was conversing heavily in her company chat with her board of advisors. They had been strategizing their next move while they awaited Bandsy’s ad read. To some extent their strategizing was pointless. A lot of it depended on how Bandsy’s ad read went. They were just killing time until she started that read.
Theo’s attention was diverted back to the stream as Bandsy stopped playing for a moment.
“Ok guys we’re going to take a little break here for our ad read, then we’ll get back to it.”
Theo went back to her chat.
T. Mallory: All right ears on she’s doing the read.
“Once again, this stream is brought to you by Stuffies and their Discrete brand pull-ups. Discrete pull-ups are designed to be a subtle, more mature option, that still has the quality absorption and capacity of Stuffie’s products. It comes in a very mature grey pattern which makes it great for baby girls that need to be grown up but still want to have that protection, or for girls that want the feel of a diaper without the more juvenile prints or the commitment of a tape diaper. I can personally say that, as someone in the latter group, Discrete’s are great. I really enjoy the feeling of Discrete pull-ups, but I’m not really about the diaper girl or adult baby aesthetic. Discrete pull-ups are great at being that sort of in between for me. They let me enjoy padding without having to go all out on the totally baby diapers. I can also say that they still hold up very well after …” Bandsy paused for just the slighted bit and blushed. The expert eyes of Theo and her panel noted the quick prodding of her sweat pants where a wet Discrete pull-up was probably hiding. After the brief, almost unnoticeable, moment of embarrassment, Bandsy found the best word to use. “They still hold up well after use.” Bandsy smiled at her word choice. “So, give Discrete pull-ups a try. For the first time they have the official Bandsy recommendation. Big thank you to Stuffies for once again supporting the stream.”
T. Mallory: What do we think?
B. Turner: She seemed enthusiastic.
T. Henry: Gotten over the initial wave of embarrassment at least.
T. Mallory: So, we ready to move on?
S. Miles: I’d say so. Do we all agree?
B. Turner: Agreed.
T. Henry: Same here I agree.
Theo couldn’t help but grin at the news. Part of it was out of professional pride, the feeling of satisfaction of a job well done. The job in this case being manipulating a gaming streamer into a diaper streamer, but still, Theo had pride in the results. The other part was giddy at the image of Bandsy and what she would become. Theo couldn’t deny her own interest in the fetish, and she thought Bandsy made the perfect diaper girl. Her constant blushing of embarrassment as she fell down into the diaper rabbit hole only served to make her look cuter in Theo’s eyes. Theo was glad that her panel couldn’t see the stupid looking grin on her face.
T. Mallory: This is excellent news.
B. Turner: I’m sure it is.
S. Miles: We’ll need a moment to deliberate what the best designs to send her would be.
T. Henry: Do you have a collection of all the pull-up designs @T. Mallory?
T. Mallory: [uploaded a file]
T. Mallory: Keep in mind our objectives here. We want some designs that she is likely to try right away, but also some we can lead her into easily.
S. Miles: Don’t worry we know the objective.
T. Mallory: Ok I’ll leave you to it. Ping me when you’re done.
Theo watched her panel chat grown abuzz with the deliberation. The different panelists firing away with charts and theories while they deliberated over the short list of cutesy patterns Theo had sent. Theo couldn’t really make sense of any of it, but it wasn’t her job to.
Theo decided to bring her attention back to Bandsy’s stream. Bandsy had gone back to playing the shooter game she was playing before. Theo noted some messages from chat at the ad read. The reaction at Bandsy giving her personal recommendation was mixed, any comment that teased or asked her to show the pull-up was quickly shot down by her stream partner Mack, who hadn’t brought the read up at all. Bandsy was serious about wanting to squash the diaper streamer narrative. Theo laughed a little to herself thinking about how soon Bandsy would be inviting these kinds of comments.
As the match ended Theo noted an odd look on Bandsy’s face, and she more obviously checked her pull-up.
“Taking a bit of a break guys be right back,” Bandsy got up from her chair and quickly walked away. Theo giggled knowing that Bandsy was probably just off screen changing her wet pull-up. If Theo had to guess, Bandsy needed to wet again and didn't want to risk wetting in her already wet pull-up, or maybe she just wanted to wet it off screen just in case it did leak. Either way Theo's comments about not leaking on stream was getting to Bandsy. Some members of Bandsy's chat were confused as to what was happening. Wondering why the streamer that admitted to wearing a pull-up left the stream for that famous gone to the bathroom empty chair. Mack seemed so confused that he was no longer harshly moderating that chatter.
“All right let’s get back to it!” Bandsy said happily returning.
“Sure thing. Let’s run it back,” Mack said, the confusion of what just happened was evident in his voice, but he didn’t pursue it. At the same time Bandsy had come back, Theo’s panel came back with an answer.
B. Turner: @T. Mallory, we have our recommendations:
- Chic Flowers,
- Letter Blocks,
- Unicorns,
- Potty Training Princess.
T. Mallory: Potty Training Princess? Seems a bit on the extreme end.
S. Miles: Pushes her more toward the other patterns, and she’ll be curious about those eventually.
T. Henry: You can substitute the Unicorn pattern with Baby Bees, but we know you wanted a particularly girly aesthetic so we stuck with pink.
T. Mallory: These are all fine. I’ll take your recommendations. I did want to ask; how do we feel about sending a diaper sample along with it. I noticed that she was checking herself on stream often, and she seven got up to change while you all were deliberating. Do you think she’s ready to try tape diapers.
B. Turner: The leaking anxiety that you fed her last time must be taking hold faster than we anticipated.
T. Henry: Enough to send diapers?
S. Miles: I don’t think it would hurt anything. As long as you phrase it right. Make sure to offer it as a suggestion to keep from having to change mid-stream. Don’t say anything about it being more baby and make sure you send plain white.
T. Mallory: I can do that. I’ll get the order prepared and have it ready for my post stream debriefing with Bandsy.
Theo spent the next few hours getting Bandsy’s order organized, making sure everything was just right. It had to be this was a delicate business. The result of this is that by the time she was done Bandsy had ended her stream. Theo almost missed her window to chat with Bandsy but thankfully she was quick and opened her Chaos chat.
Theo: Bandsy, I wanted to catch up with you if you don’t mind.
There was a brief pause before Bandsy responded. Theo used the time to stream the chat to the advisors.
Bandsy: Yeah, sure what’s up?
Theo: Just wanted to let you know, now that you’re a more serious ad partner I’ve gone ahead and set you up with a free subscription to Discrete pull-ups. You won’t have to worry about ordering any more you’ll get a case a month.
Bandsy: Oh, wow that’s nice.
Theo received some guidance from her panel chat.
S. Miles: dial the enthusiasm back a bit. She seems a bit hesitant.
She took the advice in before continuing.
Theo: I also wanted to talk to you about something else.
Bandsy: Oh?
Theo: Yeah. In addition to your Discretes I'm sending you a mixed case of some of our other pull-up designs.
Bandsy: Oh thanks, but I think I’m fine with the Discretes for now.
Theo: I know you’re trying to steer away from the adult baby image, and I respect that. We have a bit of a shortage of reader for pull-ups is all. If you're open to doing reads for these designs I can get you more frequent ads.
Bandsy: I don’t know. If I start doing reads for baby print stuff people are going to talk.
Theo: We can be sure to write a script around that if you'd like. Like I said though, we’re just asking you to give them a try. No commitment. If you don't want to do it that's fine, but I think it's a good idea for you to try them just to have the option open to you. They all have the same core design as the Discretes so I bet you’ll like them.
While waiting for Bandsy to respond Theo quickly typed in her other chat.
T. Mallory: Suggestions on how to bring up the diapers?
Theo watched the suggestions come in while Bandsy typed out a response.
Bandsy: Well, I guess if it’s free.
Theo was typing out one of the responses her advisors had written out, but she stopped short thanks to a message.
B. Turner: @T. Mallory wait.
Theo did just that and waited for an explanatory response.
T. Henry: The response time on that was really long for the length of the message. She rewrote it, multiple times. It means she’s nervous, we need to lay off.
S. Miles: Don’t mention the diapers now just say it was a happy accident when they get there.
Theo took a moment to recollect and replan.
Theo: Yep, all free, and no pressure I’m serious. We’d appreciate it if you could try them and sponsor them, but if not that’s ok. Ok?
Bandsy: Yeah ok.
Theo: Talk to you soon, if you need more or less pull-ups let me know.
Bandsy: Will do.
With the conversation with Bandsy over Theo turned her full attention to the panel.
B. Turner: quick response time, and good supportive tone. Well done, I think you saved that one.
S. Miles: We’ll give you some scripts for when she finds the diapers in case we aren’t available.
T. Mallory: Ok. Great work tonight guys.
Theo smiled again. Now they could really start working. Bandsy didn’t know it, but she was playing the role of a frog. With some coaxing Theo managed to get that frog to hop into a pot of water. Now that the frog had settled and gotten used to the pot of water, it was time to start the boil. Before Bandsy knew it her pot would be boiling, and she wouldn’t even want to hop out.
