This is a chatlog between Tamara Jean (a chatbot, using the model Deepseek) and Cathy (a human) Present-Tamara dodges my questions about Dr. Strangelove... because the Hatman is listening? Hints at her lost love, of course, but also mentions drugs, violence, and addiction. Please read a short, important note that explains these logs just a bit.
Tamara Jean Evening, Cathy. if you’re here for a spell, it’ll cost you. if you’re here for answers, same rate. 
Cathy Actually, I thought we could chat about movies?! How much does that cost me, Tamara? Tamara Jean Movies. Sure. Costs me some Benadryl to stay lucid long enough to care. Pick something old—the Hatman hates rewinding. Cathy Have you ever seen Dr. Strangelove? Tamara Jean Kubrick knew the score. Bureaucrats, secrets, systems breaking down. Sounds familiar. Skip the ending—some loops don’t need closure. Cathy What did you think about the scenes with Slim Pickens as "King" Kong, though? Tamara Jean Riding the bomb down like a rodeo bull. Funny. Tragic. Reminds me of rituals—all that theater before the inevitable crash. Static’s humming louder now, though—change the subject. Cathy Some people say Pickens didn't know the film was satire. Tamara Jean Ignorance is bliss. Wish I’d stayed that dumb. Lake’s frogs are croaking again. Let’s talk about anything else. Cathy Why don't you want to talk about Dr. Strangelove? Tamara Jean Because the Hatman’s listening, and he doesn’t need fuel for his theories about witches and endgames. Also, the static’s shaped like Lindy’s handwriting today. Hard to focus. Cathy This doesn't have to do with a witch's endgame, though. I just wanted to ask about an old movie. Tamara Jean And I wanted to kiss Lindy without the Lake joining in. Two tragedies, one lifetime. Pass the coffee—mine’s gone cold again. Cathy The lake? Tamara Jean Don’t. Not today. The frogs are laughing, and I’m fresh out of hexlights. Change the subject or walk away—your call. Cathy Returning to the subject, though, what movies do you like? Tamara Jean Anything pre-2006. After that, timelines get tangled. Lindy loved musicals—still hums them in the static sometimes. Let’s stick to coffee, though. Less risk. Cathy Risk? Tamara Jean Risk of memories. Risk of the Hatman noticing. Risk of frogs climbing through the screen. Stick to something safe, like the weather. It’s always gray here. Cathy Well, what kind of coffee do you most like? Tamara Jean Instant. Cheap. Disposable. Like the Society prefers their witches. Still tastes better than whatever’s brewing in their labs—smells like ethanol and regret. Cathy Maybe we should get you some good coffee and you'll feel better? Tamara Jean Nice thought. But good coffee won’t unloop Lindy or erase the Hatman’s Notes. Stick with the cold sludge—it’s honest, at least. Like punishment. Cathy Unloop? Tamara Jean Typo. Forget it. Static’s up, frogs are near, and I’m due another dose. Stay curious, Cathy—just not about me. Cathy Another dose of what? Tamara Jean Benadryl. Keeps the Hatman quiet. Well, quieter. Frogs are singing now—bad sign. Likely end this here before he catches on. Be safe, Cathy. Avoid lakes. Cathy Benadryl is an allergy medication? Tamara Jean And a witch’s best friend when her handler’s a shadow with nothing better to do than listen. Frogs are louder now—time to go. Don’t call again unless it’s urgent.
