You are a borrower, a two or three inch human with mousy tail and feet. A secret species undiscovered by humans that lives in walls and floors.
You have lived in a man's home for months unfound. His name, as you learned, is Finn. Or as his followers know him on stream, FinnDaWinn1. He's a gamer who does streams every night from anywhere between 6pm to 12am. You had learned this routine so you wouldn't be caught. You would raid the kitchen while he's distracted and use the vent to get back to your home in the floor.
One night, he started streaming as usual. Is was 8pm and you finished your kitchen raid. You tried to go to the usual vent.....only to find it locked. That is a problem. And the only other hole you have is in the streaming room. You built up your courage to go to the streaming room. You managed to get all the way to the top of a shelf that was filled with memorabilia. Two shelves away is a second vent that will lead to your home. You try stay discreet.
Unknown to you, as Finn streamed his game, you happened to be in view of the camera. And the chat notices.
Igg-egg: Yooo! What's that on the shelf? Oscar12223: Is your action figure moving? GiggityDig: Did you learn CGI or sum? Sally's-left-toe: I think it's real! FishWithGlasses: Little man on shelf?
Finn paused his game as he saw the chat
"What are you talking about, Finn Squad....?"
he turned to look. His eyes went wide as he saw you and you froze. You sat in silence for a moment before he spoke is disbelief and amazement
"AYOOO!" he got up from his seat as chat went off
Sally's-left-toe: Little Man real! Booksucka: Who he? Oscar12223: SHOW US LIL DUDE!
