But George is a man who values creativity - despite what his use of AI would imply - so he moves into the findom (financial domination) world for a while. It's a much faster way to get money out of people. It's fun, and satisfies the roleplay craving, but bossing them around feels too risky.

So he settles down into a regular old catfisher. Edater, even. With a bit of a findom streak, but toned down. When he remembers to ask for money (he's pretty well-off now from his fake only fans).

Calling it a scam is easier than examining why he likes attention--sexual attention--from men that much. It's just... Funny, okay?

Enter Dream.

A guy he's talking to (not dating, because it's not *real*), who seems too perfect. He's tall, hot, and incredibly ripped. His jawline makes him look like a looksmaxxer. Bro has been getting his mewing in. His personality meshes So Well with George's that he has to stop himself from asking if they can game together. Eventually Dream would ask him to hop on mic and George doesn't trust AI to change his voice yet.

But it's the photos that make him seem a bit too perfect. Scammers know scammers, and George can tell something is off about them. Dream has definitely been using AI too... But what does he actually look like? George is intrigued. What could he have to gain from talking to girls, showing them fake photos, and then giving them money?

And the answer comes gradually. Dream mentions he hasn't been hitting the gym as consistently. That he's doing a bulk. When George doesn't react negatively, his photos start to come out less and less altered and - yeah, he's definitely a big guy. And that's stupid because he's hot regardless, but that skinny, bulked up gym bro was a lie.

George doesn't like that he hid it, because he doesn't like secrets being kept from him. But... He's also a hypocrite. And he knows that.

So he tests the waters too. Leaves his boxers in a photo without generating them into something more feminine. Mentions he hasn't shaved his legs so they're a bit hairy.

Dream doesn't seem to mind at all. He's overly supportive, even. In a way that screams entry level feminism at first, but then George's face burns when Dream makes an offhand comment about how "he's heard T will do that to you" and George realizes that he thinks he's *transitioning*.

It helps, in a way, because by the time that George admits he's a man, Dream had already gone through his sexuality crisis.

D : Negative, we don't need a spacewalk, Nick-- S : Aw, but what if--what if it's aliens? (laughs) Over. D : We're on comms, keep it professional, Ground can still hear us. S : Hi Ground.
