Chapter 9 - Large Audience

Location: Local Park

Time: 05:25 am

Theodore had ran for 45 minutes at a steady pace he was coming the end of his 2-mile run.

His legs wobbled with every determined step he took.

The sweat from his forehead flowed through his brows and leaked into his eyes. He'd blink and wipe while still running.

He felt like his heart was right next to his ears as he was unable to hear anything else.

All he could hear was the wild and hypnotic beating of his heart.

*BA-DUM, BA-DUM, BA-DUM*

His ears were burning as his head began to feel almost weightless. With every heavy step, his strength crumbled bit by bit.

Even when his body was given him all the obvious signs to stop he still pressed on.

Whenever he felt like he couldn't go he would have a clone let him sip on an energy drink and douse him cold water to wake him from falling unconscious.

'Come on just a little bit left' Thought Theodore

30 minutes later and he had finally come to the end his task.

He fell face-first in the grass feeling sweet relief fill his overly tired body that was wet, numb and destroyed.

The right side of his brain began to break and reform as it ends with a cooling sensation that sent a shiver down his spine.

His hands burned as a new muscle memory is born.

"Speed drawing task is done," Said Theodore tiredly with his face down in the grass

He breathed in the early morning due that was shed over the green bristles of grass and gave a grateful smile that only the dirt could see.

Turning himself over on his back and watched the clouds passing with the sun looking right back at him.

He stayed like this for ten minutes before seeing and feeling the shopping task was done.

Instinctively closed his eyes and felt a sense of freedom take over him.

He never thought of himself being caged or restrained but with the integration of the skill Master Level Screen Presence, he felt like he was in command.

His initial screen presence was minimal and relied solely on mystery and talent but now his temperament commands others to look at him.

He had almost forgotten about one of the tasks he had taken which were to buy Rose a cute bag.

The rewards for the task was Beginner Level Writing. The skill only supplied him with the very basic of writing a short story with the addition of slightly better handwriting.

Sadly the clone that was tasked to find the missing cat was still unable to find it.

Though he did find a poster for the missing cat so now they have an idea what it looks like.

He got his clone to look it the time and saw "Shit, its nearly seven"

He quickly made the clone looking for the cat disappear before making him again and having it help him get home.

As he got to the door of his home his clone that was making breakfast opened it and said "Welcome Home"

Theodore replied "Yep, that was as weird and as sad as I thought it would be"

Theodore was planning for an ice bath as his body was clearly at it's a breaking point.

The ice bath is thought to constrict blood vessels, flush waste products and reduce swelling and tissue break down.

He hopes that with it will quickly heal his body as he still has to take care of Rose.

Admittedly he could just have the clones handle taking care of Rose but for him, it's just a natural response as he still not completely use it.

After ten minutes he slowly stood himself up and said "H-holy c-crap, w-warm s-shower"

He got in the shower and unhurriedly stretched to regain some control in his frozen stiff body.

After his second shower of the morning, he felt both refreshed and slow.

Before doing anything else he sent all his clones out looking for the missing cat.

He left the kettle to boil, dished a bowl of porridge and let cool down on the side.

He woke Rose up and helped her through the regular morning routine.

They sat down for breakfast with Icy finally waking up from his slumber.

Theodore poured himself a cup of lemon and ginger tea while Rose had a light brown porridge that had Greek yoghurt on top with some honey.

Next to Rose's high chair was Icy enjoying his own little breakfast.

Just another quiet morning and that's how he likes it.

"Tasty~," Said Rose happily

Theodore smiled and said "So what you wanna do today"

"Park, watch" Said Rose with her eyes gleaming

"Okay, we do a bit of watching and then we go park and then have lunch outside," Said Theodore

Theodore sat down with Rose as she watched her shows while he brushed her short blond hair.

After brushing her hair, he found himself an old notebook and pencil.

He picked up icy who was currently destroying a toy of his and places him next to Rose.

He looked up briefly before at Rose and Icy before his hand and pencil began to scratch the surface of the paper.

After 1minuite he stopped and looked at his finished work. To his surprise, it was incredibly detailed with lighting depth and emotion being seen.

"Nice, 1 minute. It's not yet at the hyper-realistic form of art but it's nonetheless impressive and fast" Said Theodore happily

"I, see" Said Rose as she stood up on the couch to looked at the notebook

"Careful, here look who's this?" Said Theodore proudly while showing his masterpiece.

"Icy, Rose," Said Rose while holding the little notebook in her hands.

"Who's Rose?" Said, Theodore teasingly

Rose pouted and said "Me, Rose"

"Yes, you are a Rose. You are so smart" Said Theodore as he hugged her tightly

"No! Dad, I watch" Said Rose as she pushed at Theodore's face to escape.

After an hour of sitting and watching her show's, they finally got ready for a day out much like yesterday.

20 minutes later

Location: Park

Time: 08:40 am

Theodore was watching Rose and Icy playing catch with a small catapult.

Rose would place the tennis ball in the catapult and then press a button which would launch the ball into the open field then icy would chase it down, and gently place it in Rose's hand.

"Good, Icy~," Said Rose with a wide smile as she rubbed his head.

Theodore pulled out the BoxCam which then hovered and asked for instructions.

"Blur all human faces that are not my self or Rose. Then apply the same instructions as yesterday" Said Theodore

"Instructions. One, blur all faces not applying you or Rose.Two, mute background noise, does not apply to Theodore, Rose and Icy's bark. Three, the camera on you at all time's unless signalled. Can you confirm these instructions" Said The BoxCam with a flat robotic voice

"Apply change to the second instruction. Unmute when another person is being addressed by me and unmute when I say to. Confirm instructions " Said Theodore

"Instructions changed and confirmed" Said The BoxCam as bold yellow text appeared on side saying face's blurred.

This tech was developed purely to tackle sudden jump in law suits for the use of someone's face without consent. It was super convenient for streamers.

He then pulled out his phone and set up his stream. He synched the BoxCam with his phone and started streaming.

Sometime passed yet still no viewers.

*Sigh* "It's eight in the morning, most people aren't online," Said Theodore

'Mind as well check on my status' Thought Theodore as he searched Status.

'Nice, okay how are my views now' Thought Theodore

He looked at his phone and saw a ridiculous number that outshone his not so impressing 150+ views from last night.

"3,568 views, Holy *Cough* Well it's honestly a happy surprise to see so many new names in my chat. Thanks to all those who shared the clip yesterday and of course welcome to my stream I hope I'm not disappointing" Said Theodore
