Ruridori Kafka of IZIGENIA (Outriders) told viewers at the start of a Grand Theft Auto (GTA) stream that the agency will hold an online meet-and-greet on Nov. 21 and 22. Her session on the 21st runs from 6 p.m. to 7 p.m. Pacific time, and the one on the 22nd from 8 a.m. to 9 a.m. Pacific. She said she hoped to see as many viewers as possible and promised to lead the nervous ones through it.

She then opened the game for Day 6 of her District V role-play, signing on as KFK-001 and saying she hoped she was not the only one at the maid cafe that day. Her character was later kidnapped by a group she called the Pinky Swear Gang. Back at the cafe, she said the kidnappers had been kind and had done nothing to her, and that her one complaint was that the police arrived and left her where she was instead of giving her a ride. Other players explained that police units are usually busy chasing the kidnappers, and told her to call them if she was ever stranded.

Earlier, she had traded phone numbers with a player named Nyx after Nyx suggested a detective storyline; she said she had some investigation programs in her and would be available to help. Later she was added to a group for the new cat cafe, and she drove through a thunderstorm with other players to get back to it. After the drive she said she hoped she would get to do some detective work, though the cat cafe was nice too.

Hours later, an exchange in Japanese with an android character turned into a language swap: the android offered to teach English in return for lessons in how people live.

Kafka closed the stream by saying she had not planned to play for so long but had enjoyed it, and that she would be back in a couple of hours with a stream mainly in Japanese. She asked viewers who could to comment in Japanese and to be respectful there.
