"Okay, umm…" were the final words anybody would hear from Amanda before the stream abruptly, and most tragically, froze.
Or at least, that's what anybody would have probably thought watching someone stay as still as her. Meanwhile, the chat continued scrolling upward at its usual speedy pace, and for a while, they simply ribbed on this 'Riana' individual who had momentarily taken the spotlight.
They joked, and quipped, each one taking turns being the comedian of the minute, like a pit of snarky snakes being offered a large juicy punchline to munch upon.
Eventually, the funny whittled off, and a couple of real ones came chiming in with their thoughts, opinions, and advice in Amanda's stead. All well-reasoned, well-intentioned, but in the end, all meaningless given the fact their damsel in a dilemma didn't exist at all.
