>>15789529I don't remember much of that particular arc because the drama surrounding it was so stupid, and ultimately only a nothingburger actually came out of it (the public pegging collab of nyanners, which was pretty funny tho), but
>How much did they even talk before Vei bitched out of the collabobviously just inferring things, because the people involved mostly don't reveal these things publicly or only in general vague terms, they at least had to talk enough privately before to even float the idea of a collab in the first place. As for how Kiara got that idea in the first place, she sounded kinda infatuated with Vei during that time and said some praise for her. You know how she can be with her various targets of affection that catch her fancy from time to time. As for the other party, why Vei would even hang out with Kiara in the first place, the going theory at the time was Vshojo wanting to leech and get an "in" with Hololive, and probably thought of Kiara as the "weakest link", being emotionally easiest to manipulate with how positive she reacts to attention. Though of course that's the cynical and biased perspective, could just as well be that they honestly got along well and no ulterior motives, who knows.
>How often did they talk after that? Do they even really talk, off-character?Again, we can't know obviously, as we don't have Kiara's private conversations wiretapped and can only go off what anyone decides to share publicly. Though it should be somewhat of a hint that, as soon as the Vshojo arc found its current end with the Nyanners collab, there has been pretty much radio silence from either party, with Kiara not really mentioning Vshojo anymore (which is a telling contrast insofar as during the time leading up to it, Kiara would bring up Vshojo/Vei rather often, several times in a few weeks), and no one from Vshojo mentioning Kiara anymore (though I admit I don't watch them very much, so if they did, I could've just as well missed it if it didn't get a prominent clip etc.). Also around that time, Kiara's roommate made some vague tweet about some "friend who she thought could trust" or something, which was of course fodder for the rrats connecting it to the drama. Now, whether that means they really had some behind the scenes fallout, or just being not that interested in each other and nothing more is anyone's guess. We know Kiara has mostly moved on (that tweet is the first thing I see her acknowledging Vei in a long time), the current hot story is the Pomu-Arc anyway.
