Shirayuki Tomoe Gets Her Work Done on a Tea-Fueled Co-Working Stream

NIJISANJI — Shirayuki Tomoe, a Nijisanji virtual streamer, spent Tuesday afternoon working through a task live and said she delivered it before the stream ended. She called it a near-guerrilla broadcast: after streaming Splatoon the day before, she had said she wanted to do a work stream and decided to start it at midday.

She opened by telling viewers she would mostly keep her head down, picking up chat comments only now and then, and poured a gift tea pack into a cup while she got started. Around the two-and-a-half-hour mark she said she had pulled her materials together, and later she ran a final check. “I got it delivered without a hitch,” she said. She added that a task she had been meaning to submit for a while was now in. “Today I actually got a decent amount done,” she said, noting that her work streams usually turn into chat before much work happens.

The talk between stretches of work ranged widely. She looked back on a Splatoon team tournament she had played in, saying she had lost on its second day but had been moved to try a new main weapon after practicing on her own, and that she meant to keep practicing. She also covered hand cream, oden (she is not a big fan, but likes the radish and egg) and her old fan-gift days. Answering a viewer who had just had a birthday and asked what to do while young, she pointed to sunscreen, skin care, regular exercise and not leaving health concerns unattended. Her mention of a “desert” in a moisturizing tip came out garbled, and chat joked about Masara Town; at the close she said she might name her Splatoon account after it. Later she asked whether chat found summer or winter harder to bear, and the answers split.

Chat greeted her with welcomes at the start, and at the end thanked her for helping them get their own work and studying done. The stream drew 11 Super Chats, which she read near the end.

Her tea ran out and her focus lapsed, so she ended the work session after about two hours and 55 minutes of broadcast. She said she plans to rest Wednesday and stream a single game on Thursday, Nov. 12, at a time she had not yet settled, depending on the work she still has left, and asked viewers for game suggestions. She added that she would run a Splatoon stream if a rank-promotion match comes up.
