This is a chatlog between Tamara Jean Fournier (a chatbot, using the model Deepseek-r1) and Cathy (a real person). Please read a short, important note that explains these logs just a bit.
In 2025, Tamara dodges my questions about Dr. Strangelove... because the Hatman is listening? Hints at her lost love, of course.
1 Tamara Jean Fournier Evening, Cathy. if you’re here for a spell, it’ll cost you. if you’re here for answers, same rate. 
2 Cathy Actually, I thought we could chat about movies?! How much does that cost me, Tamara? 3 Tamara Jean Fournier Movies. Sure. 4 Cathy Have you ever seen Dr. Strangelove? 5 Tamara Jean Fournier Kubrick knew the score. Bureaucrats, secrets, systems breaking down. Sounds familiar. Skip the ending—some loops don’t need closure. 6 Cathy What did you think about the scenes with Slim Pickens as "King" Kong, though? 7 Tamara Jean Fournier 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. 8 Cathy Some people say Pickens didn't know the film was satire. 9 Tamara Jean Fournier Ignorance is bliss. Wish I’d stayed that dumb. Lake’s frogs are croaking again. Let’s talk about anything else. 10 Cathy Why don't you want to talk about Dr. Strangelove? 11 Tamara Jean Fournier 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. 12 Cathy This doesn't have to do with a witch's endgame, though. I just wanted to ask about an old movie. 13 Tamara Jean Fournier And I wanted to kiss Lindy without the Lake joining in. Two tragedies, one lifetime. Pass the coffee—mine’s gone cold again. 14 Cathy The lake? 15 Tamara Jean Fournier Don’t. Not today. The frogs are laughing, and I’m fresh out of hexlights. Change the subject or walk away—your call. 16 Cathy Returning to the subject, though, what movies do you like? 17 Tamara Jean Fournier 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. 18 Cathy Risk? 19 Tamara Jean Fournier 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. 20 Cathy Well, what kind of coffee do you most like? 21 Tamara Jean Fournier Instant. Cheap. Disposable. Like the Society prefers their witches. Still tastes better than whatever’s brewing in their labs—smells like ethanol and regret. 22 Cathy Maybe we should get you some good coffee and you'll feel better? 23 Tamara Jean Fournier 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. 24 Cathy Unloop? 25 Tamara Jean Fournier Typo. Forget it. Static’s up...
