Elu the Elf and Kitakoji Hisui Play Apex While a Squadmate Asks If They Are Women
A black capture screen delayed the start of the two-and-a-half-hour stream by about six minutes.
NIJISANJI — Elu the Elf of Nijisanji and her labelmate Kitakoji Hisui played Apex Legends together on Wednesday in a stream billed as an “Apex girls” outing. A stranger on their squad spent part of the session asking in text chat whether the players were women, which became the running joke of the afternoon.
The stream began with a technical problem. Apex Legends did not appear in the broadcast software, and for the first few minutes viewers saw a black screen while the participants chatted. After switching to a screen-capture source, the game came through around the six-minute mark, and one participant joked that it was lucky the stream had not started with the game already running. The first match began shortly after seven minutes.
“If one doesn’t come, that’s fine too.” — Elu the Elf, on whether a fated partner will turn up
Roughly an hour in, the squad was joined by a teammate who began questioning the group, asking whether they were women and whether they were students or working. One of the participants answered that she was a student, and the pair kept the exchange going, at one point saying that names matter and that this was how encounters begin. The text chat also noted, repeatedly, that the stream was live. Between rounds the two compared how they would react to infidelity, with one saying contact with the opposite sex would be hard to accept, and one of them said it might be their first one-on-one collab. Later talk turned to pill bugs, including a white variety that one participant said she had started keeping.
The squad’s last fight ended narrowly in a loss, and the participants wrapped up soon after, calling it a good match. Chat reacted throughout with greetings, laughter at the capture trouble and teasing about the stranger’s questions.
Closing the stream, Elu thanked viewers and read a Super Chat, one of the stream’s paid messages, that mentioned an earlier infidelity quiz. She said she knows she is strict about such things. She also said she would stream Silent Hill: Townfall later that day at 6 p.m., starting over from the beginning.
