Jurard T Rexford’s Tim Joins a DistrictV 2 Gang on the Day Its Boss Goes Missing

HOLOLIVE — Jurard T Rexford’s character Tim signed on with the Pinky Promise gang during Friday’s stream of DistrictV 2, a Grand Theft Auto roleplay server set in Los Santos, and by the end of the session the gang’s boss, Roman, was missing. Members spent the closing stretch hoping he was alive and planning to look for him.

The night began with a wait. Jurard had to download a 366-file update before he could join the server, and the progress bar crawled. He recalled that the server restarts every day at noon, a reset players call a tsunami, and that earlier patching had eaten whole days. He joked that the download was throttling him because he is only part Filipino, and he floated the idea of a game that is nothing but a loading bar. The download finished about 40 minutes in. When the server restarted a couple of hours later, one more file appeared, which he said made the total 367.

“I think that should be the title of the stream. The waiting game, because we’re literally doing the waiting game.” — Jurard T Rexford, while the download crawled

Once in, Tim, a retired mafia boss back from prison, went shirtless to a masquerade, took part in an auction and a dance, and tried to sell an original song to other players. He then asked an acquaintance in the Vanilla Unicorn crowd to vouch for him and his friends. They said they needed money fast to free a friend’s family, held for a 30 million ransom in the story. The gang accepted them, and Tim was fitted for a pink uniform and practiced the minigames used in store robberies. Jurard said the pathfinding puzzle gave him trouble.

On the gang’s crime tablet, Pinky Promise ranked third, behind Memoir and Fishbait. A run to sell drugs in rival territory near the casino turned into a shootout. Several members went down, were carried to the hospital and lost their belongings. Soon afterward the news was that Roman was missing, and the gang suspected rivals who wear fox masks with red horns. Players said they wanted to believe he was alive, and they talked about buying weapons and armor and raiding the rivals’ base. Chat wrote that the evening was half angst and half comedy, and the stream drew two Super Chats.

Jurard closed by saying that the next day would be a stealth mission, scouting near the casino in regular clothes to look for the masks. He said two big things were on the gang’s plate: the ransom and the missing boss.
