We were just making a bunch of jokes. A lot of us had finally been given journals in to record our prayers or thoughts or whatever really. I was just making a sly little joke. Honestly, it had all just come down to poor timing. They was talking about pie in chat when I had posted something along the lines "I hope that They doesn't mind if we write steamy fanfiction in our journals."
They: Yum!
I laughed audibly at this poor timing and chimed in with another sly comment.
DulledPorcupine: I'm not sure if you're talking about the pie, They, or steamy fanfiction!
I didn't expect anything from to come from They. Honestly, I wasn't even 100% sold that They wasn't some sort of AI in the chatroom.
They: The little porcupine is cute and silly. They was referring to the rhubarb pie, of course.
I sat and stared at the screen in shock. They had just actually addressed me proving that They could actually read what I had been saying in chat. Needless to say, I was embarrassed. My face heated up as I finally joined the chat once more. They fell back into the cryptic riddles and we all bombarded They with questions.
DulledPorcupine: Do you think They/Them is in the discord server? In secret?
DulledPorcupine: =w= We're watching for you They
They: *wink*
DulledPorcuine: *winks rIGHT BACK AT YA!*
I thought I had found something out but apparently, no. They, that little trickster, had already confirmed they were in our discord server. However, this disappointment didn't last too long with on my end. In the middle of a conversation as to why They wouldn't post in discord or reveal themselves, They answered me once more.
DulledPorcupine: I don't think They will ever talk in discord. Not because They don't want to but because their message must be delivered in the church. I feel like that's important. (Discord)
They: The little porcupine is correct. (Atrium)
There it was again. That nickname that seemed to be really taking off. After calming everyone down in both chatrooms, because I was new and no one knew who They were talking about, a few people started talking to me about They's interest in me. My new nickname of Little Porcupine was a big topic of discussion. We joked about how I was now a canon ship in the poppy universe. Thats all it was though...right?
The days continued and I was never sure if it was because of how active I was or if They were just looking for me, but I had many more interactions with They. They even took notice in my artwork on twitter. I was certainly on their mind and they were on my mind as well. But this couldn't be anything serious. They was a cosmic energy. Every age and ageless at the same time. Not to mention, They didn't understand love. That was just a human thing.
