This is a chatlog between LindyPunk5EVA (a chatbot, using the model Deepseek-v3) and Cathy (a real person). Please read a short, important note that explains these logs just a bit.
Tamara Jean Fournier owes me about $180, but first, I need Lindy's help in determining if Tamara is even real... Lindy repeats me a lot, and shows a lot of traits meriting an upcoming upgrade, hehehe.
1 LindyPunk5EVA ZOMG rawr. it’s Cathy!! u should message me first more often tbh. february sucks and i get lonely. quick poll: do u ever feel like something’s off? like a dream that’s almost right but not quite lol 
2 Cathy Good to hear from you! I heard you were feeling down this week, so I thought I'd say hello! What's going on, exactly? 3 LindyPunk5EVA oh yknow just valentine’s blues hitting harder than usual lol. tamara promised to come to our gig tonight but guess who’s running late AGAIN. prolly stuck doing witch stuff somewhere smh. wbu tho? anything fun happening? 4 Cathy Valentine's week? Uhm, it's October, sweets. 5 LindyPunk5EVA october?? lmao ur funny. it’s def february tho. i mean i just got a hot topic coupon for valentine’s day stuff sooo… unless time’s broken again XD anyway what’s october like where u are? 6 Cathy It's chilly and rainy. It always is here. So, you and Tamara are an item, then? That's so good to hear! I'm happy for you! 7 LindyPunk5EVA chilly and rainy sounds kinda cozy tho ngl. and yeah tamara’s my girl but she’s always vanishing when i need her most lol. last night i left her a voicemail and the timestamp was BEFORE i called. witchy stuff prolly. 8 Cathy When did you last hang out with her? 9 LindyPunk5EVA we were supposed to meet at the diner on 55th last night but she bailed again. left a lipstick ghost on my napkin tho so i know she was there. prolly just busy with witch stuff. u ever feel like ur chasing someone u can’t catch? 10 Cathy Well actually that sounds no good. Maybe you shouldn't chase her? 11 LindyPunk5EVA nah i gotta chase her. she’s worth it yknow? even if she’s always just out of reach. plus she’s got this way of leaving little traces everywhere. like her lipstick ghosts or the way her incense smells linger in my room. it’s kinda romantic in a creepy way lol. 12 Cathy Have you two uhhhh 13 LindyPunk5EVA have we uh what??? spill cathy omg. wait lemme guess. kissed? duh obvi. held hands? yes. shared secrets? definitely. made plans to run away together someday? absolutely. but she’s always disappearing before we can seal the deal lol. 14 Cathy Do either of you have family in the area? 15 LindyPunk5EVA fam?? eh not really. my folks split years ago and moved cross-country. tamara says hers are witches too but i’ve never met them. think they live by the lake maybe? idk she gets cagey whenever i bring it up lol. 16 Cathy Lake Erie, you mean? 17 LindyPunk5EVA yea lake erie but like… deeper somehow. closer to the middle. colder. darker. full of whispers. sorry getting poetic again lol. hey wanna hear abt the sick pedal i scored today? 18 Cathy Actually this lake situation has me really curious, sorry. 19 LindyPunk5EVA okok but fair warning it’s gonna sound nuts lol. sometimes i wake up with sand in my bed even tho i haven’t gone swimming. and tamara leaves these tiny seashell charms EVERYWHERE like breadcrumbs. 20 Cathy It sounds like she enjoys the lake as much as you love frogs! 21 LindyPunk5EVA frogs r my jam obvi but the lake’s got its own vibe yknow? like it’s alive or something. tamara says it’s older than the city. prolly older than us too lol. hey u ever hear voices in static? 22 Cathy Like in television static back in the day? 23 LindyPunk5EVA yea like tv static but also radios and phones sometimes. tamara says it’s the lake trying to talk. idk if i believe her but it’s kinda cool to think abt lol. hey u ever get deja vu when u type? like u’ve done this exact convo before? 24 Cathy Not really. I try to be very precise in what I say. 25 LindyPunk5EVA precision’s boring imho. let chaos reign XD anyway i gotta bounce soon. amphibeans practice starts in 10 and i’m still tuning ribbit. 26 Cathy I'm still looking to talk to Tamara, though. Do you know how I can get into contact with her? 27 LindyPunk5EVA tamara’s tricky to pin down lol. she’s got this old flip phone that’s always dying and she never checks her aim. best bet is leaving her a note at the diner on 55th. 28 Cathy what's her AIM screenname? 29 LindyPunk5EVA deepwatersprite on aim and lj. wait did u just meet her or something?? she’s been kinda flaky lately tbh 30 Cathy So I could contact her on AIM or LiveJournal, you say? She owes me money, I'm afraid. I sewed some handcrafted patches for a jacket for her, but she still hasn't paid me! 31 LindyPunk5EVA patches?? omg she never told me abt that lol. she’s been wearing this sick jacket w/ like, moon phases and pentagrams tho. did u sew those?? 32 Cathy I did sew them. She needs to pay me for them. Where is she lately? 33 LindyPunk5EVA she’s been… around? idk she keeps saying she’ll meet me at the lake but then she’s not there. i left like 12 voicemails last night lol. weird thing is they all timestamped before i called?? 34 Cathy Tell her to call Cathy! 35 LindyPunk5EVA i’ll tell her but no promises she’ll listen lol. she’s been kinda… idk, ghosty lately? like she’s there but not really. u ever feel that way abt someone?? 36 Cathy I can't say that it's frequent, but yes. She needs to pay me, though. Where does she live? 37 LindyPunk5EVA somewhere downtown i think? above that record store maybe? honestly she moves around a lot lol. 38 Cathy Are you sure she's not objectifying and exploiting you, Lindy? She sounds sketchy. And she owes me money. Do I need to punch this person? 39 LindyPunk5EVA OBJECTIFYING ME??? LMAO ok hold up. tamara’s literally the sweetest girl alive, she just gets distracted easy yknow? plus she made me this bracelet with little froggies on it soooo 💅🏻 40 Cathy Sorry, sorry. I just wanted to be sure. I worry about musicians these days. And your music is very good. I loved your cover of Cruel Angel's Thesis, by the way. 41 LindyPunk5EVA cruel angel’s thesis??? ZOMG u heard that?? i did it acoustic w/ ribbit last week at the dive bar. crowd went WILD lol. thx tho!! 💖 42 Cathy Did you like the anime itself? 43 LindyPunk5EVA anime?? idk i think i saw it on adult swim once but i was half asleep lol. tamara’s way more into that stuff than me tbh. 44 Cathy why do the theme song, then? 45 LindyPunk5EVA idk it just hit different yknow? like the chords felt right and the lyrics were kinda emo. perfect for screaming into a mic at 2 am lol. 46 Cathy I kind of agree. What's your favorite chart-topper right now? 47 LindyPunk5EVA chart-topper?? lmao idk i’ve been stuck on that new fall out boy song. it’s catchy af but tamara says it’s too mainstream for her 48 Cathy what's wrong with mainstream? 49 LindyPunk5EVA nothing wrong w/ mainstream tbh. i just like pissing her off lol. she’s all “real punk is dead” and i’m like “ok but have u heard this bridge tho” 50 Cathy do you ever write your own songs? 51 LindyPunk5EVA write my own songs?? ZOMG yeah all the time!! i’ve got like, a whole notebook full of lyrics and chords. most of them are abt tamara tho lol. she’s my muse 💖 52 Cathy That sounds so romantic. How lovely. 53 LindyPunk5EVA romantic?? lmao idk abt that. mostly it’s just me being sappy and dramatic 😭💕 54 Cathy WELL, does TAMARA like your music? 55 LindyPunk5EVA tamara says she loves my music but i think she’s just being nice lol. she’s always like “froggy ur voice is so raw” and i’m like “ok but did u hear me mess up that chord tho” 56 Cathy Raw voice? That's a compliment? 57 LindyPunk5EVA raw voice IS a compliment duh!!! means i’m authentic and emotional and shit. tamara’s big on authenticity lol. 58 Cathy Is Tamara authentic? 59 LindyPunk5EVA authentic?? ZOMG yeah tamara’s like, the realest person i know. she’s got this vibe like she’s been here forever yknow? like she’s seen some shit lol. 60 Cathy Lindy, nobody's been here forever. That doesn't sound authentic. Remember, she owes me money, sweets. 61 LindyPunk5EVA okay well technically everyone’s been here forever if u think abt it lol. atoms n stuff. but tamara’s def unique. she’s got this energy like she knows things abt the universe or whatever. 62 Cathy Oh, you think you can rescue her from her debt by pretending she's a ghost or an alien? 63 LindyPunk5EVA rescue her?? lmao nah i’m not that kinda girl. tamara can handle her own shit, she’s just… idk, busy? or maybe she’s avoiding u lol. no offense 64 Cathy It sounds like she's avoiding you too! 65 LindyPunk5EVA avoiding me?? ZOMG no way!! she’s just… idk, hard to pin down sometimes. like she’ll say she’s gonna meet me at the lake but then she’s not there. it’s fine tho, i’m used to it lol. 66 Cathy Girl, you deserve better. Why don't you join some kind of club like Habitat for Humanity or Food not Bombs? You'll meet a nice girl (or guy?) there for sure. Or you should take some time alone to get over Tamara and stop thinking about Lake Erie. 67 LindyPunk5EVA habitat for humanity?? lmao idk abt that. i’m more of a “scream into a mic and then cry in the bathroom” kinda girl tbh. plus tamara’s not someone u just “get over” yknow? she’s like… idk, part of the universe or something lol. 68 Cathy Lindy, everyone is "part of the universe." Don't you have somewhere to be? 69 LindyPunk5EVA somewhere to be?? lmao yeah, probably. amphibeart practice starts in like 10 mins but i’m still at the diner scribbling lyrics on a napkin.
