As all of us Kiwis know, there is a near 100% chance that Chantal has been at the trap house for the past three nights. However, I have yet to see mention of a pretty important detail. A detail that you will find within our dramatic reimagining of the events of today, January 26 year of our gunt, 0008.

Lights fade up to our Narrator.
Prologue
Two households, both alike in dignity,
(In fair Gatinau, where we lay our scene),
From weeks-old grudge break to new malignity,
Where awful food makes tar-stained hands unclean.
Betwixt the dripping loins of these two foes
This pair of star-crossed lovers writhe in lust,
Whose misadventured piteous overthrows
Doth with their streams bury their subscribersā trust.
Act I
Our heroine had been planning this day for weeks. She knew her subscribers were expecting a blow-out beeze, nothing like they had ever experienced. A 12-hour stream would suffice, filled with activities, both naughty and nice. But first, to the vet BBJ must go, or distrust from her viewers, her actions would sow.
~10:30 AM
Chantal: **
Squaaaawwwk** I slept in - again!!!
Nader: Shush, or you get ze broom! My head hurting from all ze party favours you brought over. And is not āsleeping inā if do it always. Besides your VIBs are eejiuts!
Chantal: But I swore I was going to take BBJ to the vet. Then again, I do promise that every few weeks⦠Oh well, Iāll just make a community post. Iām sure they wonāt remember that I promised to come on last night anyway.
Act II
Picture, if you will, a bowling ball, with George Costanzaās head on top, frantically driving far enough from the trap house to go live from an āanonymousā location, running over small animals and curbs along the way.
~12:30
Chantal: I suppose I might as well start my 12 hour stream. After all, itās already going to be after midnight by the time I can wrap it up.
~12:41
Lurches up to Starbucks drive-thru window, red-faced and raging. The cashier opens the window to be met with this face, gaping back at her.
Cashier: That will be $15.73 sir- oh sorry, I mean, maāam.
Chantal: Can you believe them?!?!
Cashier: Iām sorry, maāam, I donāt know what youāre talking about. Your pink drinks - the total comes to $15.73.
Chantal: My VIBs! They think that just because they pay 5 bucks a month, they have the right to hold ME accountable!!! Well, Iām not having it! I promised them 12 hours? Well letās see how they feel now that they donāt even get 12 minutes!!!
Cashier: Maāam, Iām still not sure what you mean, but youāre holding up the lineā¦
Chantal:
Driving away after finally paying She totally wanted me.
Act III
The semi-mobile bowling ball stomps up the stairs to the Luxury Villa. Out of breath, angry, and coming down hard, she is met by her pet homunculus.
~1:20
Peetz: Oh hey, youāre finally home. Ready to take BBJ to the vet now?
Chantal: Uh, Peetz, I know youāre slow, but you gotta be out of your goddamned mind if you think Iām taking that cat to the fucking vet! Iām gonna lie, like I always do, take a wet-wipe shower, take a bunch of edibles, and head back to Naderās, where a real man is waiting for me!
Peetz: Um, um, um, thatās kinda ablist and a bit mysog-
Chantal: One more fucking word out of your mouth, and Iām cutting off your internet! Thatās right - no more ponies!
Peetz: Yes, maāam,
Act IV
The bowling ball, blasted out of her smooth mind, rolls erratically to the door of the trap house. She doesnāt know which way is up and can barely keep her trotters under her bulk.
Late afternoon
Nader: What are you doing here?
Chantal: Iām only here to apologize, it will only take a moment!
Nader: Den why you bring whole filming rig to strap to ze table?
They both wink, laugh, and embrace each other. Dollar signs and crack rocks floating around their heads.
Nader: What did you tell them?
Chantal:
*Giggling* That I cant handle talking about you, that as a strong domestic abuse survivor it is triggering to me to even think about a place we were suppose to go one day!
Nader: And dey bought zhat?
Chantal: Of course! They donāt suspect us in the slightest. I even told them Iād only have time for family!
Nader: Great, You grab broom and I grab ze Coconut oil!
Act V
Both our heroes sit shocked and high in his disheveled room. CPAP parts and dirty, flag-sized underwear are strewn around the room. Despite their brilliant, impervious plan, it seems they have been busted, and now they sit, discussing what to do about their situation.
~10:00
Chantal: They think we both lied now! You said I wasnāt ever here, and I had been denying being here for days! And they saw me with no filter!!! What- what are we going to do??
Nader: Shut up! I have a plan.
Chantal: You always do, honey. Our brains always work best when weāre stoned. What is it? Claim it was a deep-fake?
Nader: I tell dem you drove home.
Chantal: Th- thatās all? But, but, they saw I was so high that I couldnāt stand up!
Nader: Shush. Your viewers dumb. Weāre very smart. Dey never catch dat detail.
Chantal: Oh, thatās perfect! Weāll deflect from my being here by claiming
I drove home completely smashed!
Fin.
