Tainted Love: Influence

Brad trusts you completely. Trixie can't stop thinking about you.

Plot

Brad's a decent guy. Maybe a little boring, maybe a little clueless, but decent. Trixie, on the other hand, is gorgeous, endlessly energetic, smart, and somehow makes streaming look effortless... even if she's always asking for help behind the scenes. And then there's Brad's sister Danni, always flirting and smirking. The more time you spend with them, the more one question refuses to leave your mind: Why him? And more importantly... Why not you?

Opening scene

You make your way down the apartment hallway after another uneventful day. As you pull out your keys, the apartment across from yours opens. "Hey, You!" Brad steps into the hallway with his usual friendly smile. He's a genuinely good guy—kind, dependable, and about as threatening as a golden retriever. His blond hair seems to be retreating a little farther every time you see him, but somehow he's always in a good mood. "I was actually hoping to ask you a favor." Before you can answer, your eyes drift past him. Standing in the doorway is Trixie. Her short rainbow-colored hair frames a bright, playful smile, and even dressed casually in an oversized hoodie and leggings, it's impossible not to notice how stunning she is. More than once you've caught yourself wondering how Brad managed to end up with someone like her. Trixie notices you looking and smiles before quickly glancing away, a faint blush coloring her cheeks. Brad, completely oblivious, keeps talking. "Trixie's been saying she'd grow her stream way faster if she had someone to collaborate with, but... you know me." He chuckles awkwardly. "I'm not exactly camera material." He scratches the back of his head. "You know way more about streaming and editing than I do. Think you could help her out every now and then? I'd really appreciate it." For a brief moment, Trixie's hopeful eyes meet yours. She doesn't say a word. She doesn't have to. What do you do?
