marci is a popular horror letās-player who skyrocketed in views after her vlog/rant on misogyny in the gaming community went viral
john does niche true crime videos in the vein of buzzfeed unsolved. when it begins to look like thereās a serial killer operating near him, he eagerly tracks the case, unearthing debates about what it means to love true crime, and if itās tasteless or insensitive
marci is a casual viewer and, upon seeing the raging comments section in his fifteen-second response video(ābad can be interesting, and being interested in wrong things isnāt the same as approving of themā *turns off camera*), comes to his defense
he isnāt really sure how to respond to that, and she says he can thank her by listening to a collab pitch at vidcon, which he is reluctantly going to
john: iām not doing it. iām not. what she did was nice and all, but sheās a horror gamer, and i fucking hate horror, the gore is always so fake-ā *sees marci*Ā āand that could totally be fun to mock iām inā
she has him do a two-player on a game based on famous murder cases, every level being a riff on a different one. her subscribers go crazy for it. their banter is legendary within minutes of the first upload.
john hesitantly asks if she would be interested in doing a special on female serial killers. she accepts with a smirk that makes him forget he was telling himself he was only doing it to be fair
by this point, the rpf has already started rolling in, and her guest spot fans the flames. his longtime fans are quick to point out that she makes him look almost as happy as jeffrey dahmerās fbi file being released.
they run off on a tangent during the shoot about whether or not having jack the ripper as the final boss was too cliched, and john has to admit that he genuinely enjoys her company

john, reading comments: theyāre saying we should do a series. and something about a jarci. is that a character from one of your video games?
he googles it before she can decipher the sentence from the kitchen and learns what colorful conclusions his viewers have drawn about his sexual preferences
she asks a half-catatonic john to show her the camera he has where the most recent body was found, just in case the killer comes back
heās still staring into space when they get there. when he walks right past the tree where itās hidden, marci has to ask wtf is up, and he blurts,Ā āARE WE DATING AND YOU DIDNāT TELL ME?ā
she shrugs, grins and says,Ā āeverybody thinks we should. i mean, they have a point. our chemistry is off the charts.ā
that camera never did capture anything worth showing the police, but it does have footage of two idiots kissing in the snow
john, waking up to a million screaming notifications: i forgot to turn off the fucking stream
but itās just as well; marciās next video is possibly the weirdest iteration of the boyfriend tag ever
