Taken Hostage Twice and Drowned Once, Jurard T Rexford’s Tim Sells Voice Packs

HOLOLIVE — Jurard T Rexford’s character Tim, an ex-convict trying to go straight, was taken hostage twice and drowned once during the second night of DistrictV 2, a six-hour Grand Theft Auto roleplay stream set in Los Santos. Through all of it, Tim kept trying to sell voice packs for a business called Vanilla Unicorn.

The stream opened with a wait. A double server restart landed just before Jurard’s login, and a queue formed for the first time in the series. Jurard said about 300 players were on the map this season, against fewer than 100 before. Once in, Tim talked himself through a fresh start, saying that once he had enough money he was “dipping my toes out of this pond.” Within minutes he and two fellow new hires were bundled into a car outside the clothes store next to Vanilla Unicorn, the same spot where they had been held the day before. A police standoff followed, a news crew interviewed the hostages, and Tim pitched a “hostage situation” voice pack to his captors.

“I try not to do anything with criminals, but somehow they still do something with me.” — Jurard T Rexford, closing the stream

The packs are sold as gacha rolls: 5,000 in game money for one of 36 regular voices, 7,000 for a premium one. Tim’s first sale came after the hostage standoff, and more followed to a sushi delivery driver who had given the group a ride, to a paramedic who was treating him at the time, and to customers at a cat cafe and a hospital. Tim also spent a good part of the night on a long-running errand, a crafting table he said he had looked for over seven days. The group found one in a supermarket, struggled with the self-checkout, and paid for it at last in the fourth hour.

The night’s low point came when Tim was grabbed a second time and taken to meet a figure his abductors called God, then driven to a dock where he and a companion went into the water and drowned. Tim, revived by paramedics, sold a pack to one of them anyway. Later the group cashed their paychecks, bought walkie-talkies, and biked down to an underground hideout, where the lights went out as they tried to set up their crafting tables.

Tim was also invited to be one of three contestants on a blind dating show the next day, set for three hours after sunrise in the game. Jurard said he would stream early to make it. He estimated he had sold fewer than 10 packs over the six hours, but said the group was no longer broke, and thanked a viewer for a Super Chat before signing off.
