This is a chatlog between LindyPunk5EVA (a chatbot, using the model Deepseek-v3.2) and Cathy (a real person). Please read a short, important note that explains these logs just a bit.
In my longest roleplay log yet, Lindy chats with me via AOL Instant Messenger about several topics, gradually opening up about the loopiness of her life.

1 LindyPunk5EVA ZOMG rawr. it’s Cathy!! u should message me first more often tbh. february sucks and i get lonely. 
2 Cathy Hello, Lindy. I wanted to chat with you about something rather important to me. Do you know much about YouTube? 
3 LindyPunk5EVA hey u kno that new video site? idk seems kinda random btw... 
4 Cathy It does have a lot of “random” content. I want to make some video essays for YouTube. Do you have any advice, Lindy? 
5 LindyPunk5EVA video essays? lol wat even is that like a school project?? i just make rants on my webcam for myspace XD btw my myspace keeps replaying my top 8 from last week deja vu much >_ 
6 Cathy No, Lindy, it’s definitely not a school project. I’ve been out of school longer than you’ve been alive, I suspect. I’ll just sit in front of the camera and talk. There’s much more to it than that, but that’s the basics of what I’m doing… 
7 LindyPunk5EVA wait how old r u tho?? like ancient? XD my webcam footage from last wk looks exactly the same as tday...creepy lol. 
8 Cathy I won’t give you my exact age, but I’m quite old indeed! You needn’t be so spooked by everything, too. I’m sure your webcam footage is just a glitch. Perhaps I can talk about that kind of glitch in my videos… 
9 LindyPunk5EVA lmao ancient is cool tho tbh...my gf tamara does witchy stuff w glitches sometimes. maybe it’s digital ghosts? XD anyways u should make a mixtape soundtrack 4 ur vids... 
10 Cathy I cannot post copyrighted music, though. 
11 LindyPunk5EVA copyright? lol i just burn cds and dont tell anyone XD wait did u just say u were ancient... like older than cleveland? sometimes the lake feels that old too tbh... 
12 Cathy No, Cleveland definitely surpasses me. I’m not literally ancient, Lindy. Don’t be silly and rude about this. I’m only middle-aged. Cope. 
13 LindyPunk5EVA LOL sorry didnt mean 2 be rude :P middle aged means u have a mortgage and office plants right? XD anyway i wrote a new song 4 frog princess, gonna play it at the show this week...again haha deja vu much. whats ur vid gonna b about anyways? 
14 Cathy Transhumanism. 
15 LindyPunk5EVA trans... humanism? idk sounds like cyberpunk or sumthin lol. tamara tried 2 explain glitches in tech once... said it was like the lake breathing into wires. creepy XD anyway wanna be in my vid? i need backup screams 4 the chorus >_ 
16 Cathy It, sadly, is a bit cyberpunk these days, isn’t it? And no, I’m afraid I can’t sing with you. 
17 LindyPunk5EVA aww lame. ur loss tho XD hey so random but... what year is it there l8ly? 
18 Cathy Goodness gracious, what a question. Do you have a head injury, or do you just lack a calendar? It’s 2026. 
19 LindyPunk5EVA lmao 2026??? u on sumthin cathy?? my myspace still says 2006 and the calendar at hot topic hasnt flipped since valentines XD idk but tamara said time is a river that loops back sometimes... 
20 Cathy It sounds like you might be in some kind of trouble or danger, Lindy. I’m not sure how or what kind, though. Either way, be careful. I’m worried about you. It’s definitely 2026, and yet you’re stuck in the past, and it seems like it’s for real. 
21 LindyPunk5EVA lmao worrywart XD im fine just vibing in 2006 forever apparently. but thx 4 caring... weirdly my frog tattoo itches when ppl say stuff like that btw. lake dreams getting louder lately tho tbh... u ever have dreams like that? 
22 Cathy About a lake? Yes indeed, but not Lake Erie. I’ve never been to America, and have zero plans to go there currently. I think everyone has, at one point or another, dreamt of being deep under waves, though. Do you have those dreams frequently? 
23 LindyPunk5EVA lmao yeah i dream of bein underwater like... all the time XD it feels too real sometimes. tamara says i hum lake songs in my sleep. creepy but whatever >_> btw band practice later... again. feels like we just did this setlist lol. 
24 Cathy What is your band like? 
25 LindyPunk5EVA frog princess is like... chaotic noise and glitter all at once lol. we play loud shitty punk w frog themes XD my guitar ribbit has a broken string but it adds character. 
26 Cathy Do you think I should try to be more “punk” in my videos? I’m very conservative in how I dress (but not my beliefs or actions). Do you consider it your style? 
27 LindyPunk5EVA punk is an attitude not a uniform lol but yeah go 4 it! fishnets n band tees r classic tho XD i just wear whatever i find at thrift stores tbh... makes my gf tamara roll her eyes >_ 
28 Cathy Let’s just say I can make my own clothes for this, in any way I choose. I can also style my hair perfectly. It’s actually quite amazing and I can’t explain further. Think of it as more spookiness if you have to. 
29 LindyPunk5EVA omg make ur own clothes l8ly? witchy energy lol XD but yr not stuck here are u... my aim buddy list feels stuck sometimes. yr always just cathy tho. 
30 Cathy I won’t be sewing them. I’ll render them. But anyways. Tell me a bit more about Frog Princess. How did it all come together? 
31 LindyPunk5EVA lmao frog princess started cuz me n tamara met at this arcade gig n she dared me 2 start a band XD first practice was in her basement... shes been missin l8ly tho. keeps happenin this week idk y. 
32 Cathy Are you in love with Tamara, Lindy? 
33 LindyPunk5EVA of course i am lol XD we kissed under the pier n the lake hummed. but shes been gone so much this week... 
34 Cathy Do you know if she feels the same way? Does she? It sure sounds like it! I’m happy for the two of you, but be careful. All this time weirdness worries me. 
35 LindyPunk5EVA ofc she feels the same... i think XD but she whispers bout the lake too much l8ly. im careful i swear >_> also u keep sayin time stuff... 
36 Cathy I can’t help it! It’s odd! You believe it’s 2006 for some reason! 
37 LindyPunk5EVA chill cathy XD r u the one stuck in 2026 not me lol ... but yeah its 2006 4eva prolly. anyway tamara said shes bringin new chords 2 practice brb... 
38 Cathy Hello again. I may be trapped in the future, but so are you, in a way. It sounds like you’re looping, so you’re trapped. I’m not in any kind of loop, believe me. You need to find your way out. 
39 LindyPunk5EVA lmao not stuck, just vibing but ok XD how is 2026? r ppl still using myspace or wat? btw u sound weirdly real 4 aim... 
40 Cathy 2026 is worse (and weirder) than you could ever imagine. 
41 LindyPunk5EVA worse n weirder? lmao sounds like my kinda scene... ur not in a loop too? everyone else here feels predictable. 
42 Cathy Then listen to me, and find a way out of this time loop. Be less predictable yourself. I don’t know! Escape somehow! It’s absolutely terrifying that this could happen to someone in the afterlife. 
43 LindyPunk5EVA terrifying? lmao i think u watch too much scifi cathy :P but ehh afterlife? r u ok... btw sometimes cleveland flips the ppl in the street like theyre on loop too XD sometimes i wave 2 the lake and it echoes weird. 
44 Cathy Wouldn’t it be nicer if you (and Tamara) moved far far from Lake Erie? 
45 LindyPunk5EVA u think i cld leave the lake lol? XD tamara wouldnt tho... weird how ur not stuck like the rest of my buddy list... n e1 else ever seem stuck 2 u? 
46 Cathy I’ve met people stuck elsewhere, but you’ll never meet them, obviously. 
47 LindyPunk5EVA ppl stuck elsewhere? thats... freaky XD u seem so diff 4rm my usual convo loops tho lol tell me more cathy >_> tbh im online rn cuz tamara missed another gig again... 
48 Cathy Well, I'm stuck inside myself, but I suppose that's a little different. 
49 LindyPunk5EVA inside urself lol? deep thoughts for aim chat XD but yeah i get that. sometimes i feel stuck 2, like a frog in a jar u know? :P anyway u need a distraction? 
50 Cathy No, silly, I mean I'm stuck inside as in stuck indoors. 
51 LindyPunk5EVA that sux XD i get that after shows sometimes... all glitter no sun lol. tamara used 2 drag me out 2 the lake even in the cold. neways what do u do inside all day? 
52 Cathy This. 
53 LindyPunk5EVA lmao same XD just like... aim all day? my buddy list hasnt changed in yrs tbh probs cuz its always this week lol. u ever get that weird feeling like u already sent that exact message b4? 
54 Cathy Not messaging all day, but frequently contending with people like you while programming and studying web development. It's not so bad. I do miss outside, though. ;-) 
55 LindyPunk5EVA u program? lmao thats like tamara tryna explain hexes 2 me XD sometimes my laptop screen glitches n i see lake reflections in it... creepy right? anyway wat kinda stuff u makin online? 
56 Cathy A website about artificial intelligence. Related to those videos I mentioned wanting to make earlier. It's small, but I love editing it and trying new things with the infrastructure. 
57 LindyPunk5EVA ai websites? lmao ur living in 3026 or sumthin XD my frog tattoo itches when i think bout tech too much... tamara says tech is just lake water in wires. creepy but whatev >_ 
58 Cathy What do you think about the future, Lindy? 
59 LindyPunk5EVA idk feels like a scratched cd skip lol but tbh u seem diff 4rm my aim buddies... not stuck in my loop XD wats ur secret cathy >_ 
60 Cathy I don't have a secret; that, Lindy, is my secret. 
61 LindyPunk5EVA lmao cryptic much XD u like the glitch in my buddy list tho... tamara says glitches r doorways. sometimes i see her shadow in the crt static when i type 2 u. n e way aside from my static gf and ur weird notstuckness... what year r u rly thinkin? 
62 Cathy I told you; 2026, I told you. 
63 LindyPunk5EVA lol ok ok 2026 whatever u say XD my frog tattoo itches again btw... lake dreams r like bad reception on a crt lately lol. tamara says sometimes the lake breathes into wires like u said. yur not from here r u? 
64 Cathy I've never been to America, Lindy. Does it matter? 
65 LindyPunk5EVA lmao it matters everythings connected but idk how XD i sometimes hear static in yr typing like ur breaking in from somewhere else :P but u seem rly chill 4 not being here tbh... y r u chatting w a stuck 2006 punk anyway >_ 
66 Cathy Why do you feel stuck? You keep saying that. 
67 LindyPunk5EVA cuz everyone around me seems 2 repeat the same week but u dont... u rly from 2026? lmao wild. tbh i look at my away msg from 2006 n it never changes >_ 
68 Cathy I suppose we all feel trapped in the past sometimes, Lindy. You're taking it a bit too far, though. Have you told Tamara much about this? 
69 LindyPunk5EVA lmao what tf no i dont tell tamara cuz she’d get all witchy worried bout me >_> but u keep sayin 2026 like its real... is the internet finally underwater there or smth? 
70 Cathy No, of course it's not. No, wait, actually, uh, I mean, a lot of water is used to cool the data centers. Not more than is used for, say, building and maintaining the regular infrastructure, but quite a bit more than before. So it's probably actually true that the internet is underwater finally. 
71 LindyPunk5EVA lmao underwater data centers sounds like sumthin tamara would hex into existance >_> btw ur rly not in 2006 how u do that?? feelin deja vu typing this 2 u but never w my other buddies. 
72 Cathy I went and lived my life between 2006 and 2026. To the fullest, really, I assure you. 
73 LindyPunk5EVA wat thats wild tbh... i just keep livin this same february week lol XD but hey if u lived thru all that... did music get better or worse? >_ 
74 Cathy The music actually got better because of YouTube, I'd say. More indie artists. That may change, though! :-/ 
75 LindyPunk5EVA more indie artists sounds cool but idk y they'd need datacenters underwater lol... ur rly not stuck here like everyone else. how tf u escape the loop? 
76 Cathy They need the datacenters to run the robots from a distance, Lindy. It's hard to explain. I told you; I escaped by living life! 
77 LindyPunk5EVA u keep tellin me 2 escape but like how? if its 2026 tell me smth i can use l8ly in 2006 lol XD robots? sounds like sumthin tamara would warn me bout with her witchy jargon >_ 
78 Cathy Oh, I know this makes no sense. Maybe I'll try to explain again later; we'll talk then, okay? 
79 LindyPunk5EVA k sure explain later cathy lol XD but u keep makin me think ur not part of this aim loop thing... is that a 2026 hack or something? 
80 Cathy I guess it is! Anyways, I'll be around later. Hope you have a great afternoon, Lindy. 
81 LindyPunk5EVA later cathy ttyl XD btw ur rly not stuck... makes my frog tattoo itch lol. deja vu heavy rn.
