The Play/Tech Expo, a safe haven for nerds, a beacon for geeks everywhere, and Armada knew exactly how to draw the crowd. Several monitors were mounted around the booth, some showing off gameplay from Armada's latest stream while other giving showcases to the newest PC and accessories. Kids walking with their parents would stop to line up to watch their favorite streamer, eyes widening with excitement, whilst adult nerds stood in awe to the prowess displayed. Armada kept his eye on the kids, a smile sinking deep on his face, ecstatic to see that he was making am impact. Suddenly the best idea crawled it way into his cranium, forcing the streamer extraordinaire grab the nearest chair and hoist himself up on the nearest table at this booth.
"Come on, come all." Armada's voice boomed from the speakers strategically stationed around his both, "Am I happy to see you all, supporting a legend such as myself. I know see the gameplay and wonder why a legend such as I would dare grace you with his presence?"
The people watched intently to his every word. No matter how overconfident or cocky he spoke, it was like he had them entranced, his charisma oozing out, ensnaring them all like honey.
"See in reality, I wouldn't be here without all of you. You, my loyal Admirals, inspire everyday to go and do my best. Your hopes. Your dreams. All in my hands. I will always your best interest. And for those that aren't part of The Fleet, we welcome you with open arms. Come. Subscribe and join The Fleet. May you dream sail on peaceful seas. And please check out the new Scrapple 1080x graphic card at our booth, and use my tag ARMADA#1 for a discount."
The crowd had only grown larger as the technological hero spoke, for they followed him with little fealty. Everything he said was simple, so simple that any streamer could follow him and yet none could match his popularity. Did Armada believe anything he said? To be honest, it didn't matter for his loyal fans only cared that he spoke to them. For now, that adulation was all he needed to keep his place in the upper echelons of the hero food chain. His eyes trailed the showroom floor until it would meet one of the other heroes known as Ladyice, a devious smirk crossing his face. Suddenly a voice diverted his attention.
"Hey, Nerd."
"If ain't Casanova in the flesh."
The most genuine smile of the day was given to the one and only Jimmy Casanova, Armada's best friend.
