Chapter three:
Entering the chat room she gave the username she had used last night.
User name: Curiouscat
Chloe was quick to type. She was used to it now. It was kinda nice talking to total strangers. Though normally she wouldn't have done such a thing. But she felt like she could do it now. That she had tried to once. For now, she could be herself without pretending.
Lincoln47: Like I said, it was an accident.
Galatia: Yeah right. That's what they all say.
Curiouscat has been added to the conversation
RicheyRich: I doubt that he really meant it. Hey 'cat. Good to see you came back to haunt this place.
Curiouscat: I couldn't stay away after our last conversation. Hello Lincoln and Galatia.
Galatia: Hi Curious. You know, reading your name reminds me of the old rhyme. Very funny. Good choice.
Curiouscat: thanks. I do try.
Lincoln47: I bet. If you want to get anyone to notice you.
RicheyRich: So, anyone see a good movie recently?
Curiouscat: Yes, but it's an old one. 'Dracula; night of living dead' or something like that. Popcorn goes great with black and white movies.
Galatia: I bet. I saw 'Freaky Friday' kinda sad huh?
Lincoln47: very much so. Me...Lord of the rings. All three of them. And they were the extended versions. Very long.
RicheyRich: Well you're all lucky. I'm too busy to ever sit down and watch a good movie.
Curiouscat: Really? That sucks.
RicheyRich: Yep.
Galatia: Aww crap. I gotta go. Deadline for a report tomorrow. Evil teacher. May she burn in the ever lasting fires of hell. See ya guys.
Galatia has left the conversation.
Lincoln47: Nuts. That reminds me. I have a huge history exam tomorrow. Gotta cram and get a little sleep. 'night y'all.
Lincoln47 has left the conversation.
RicheyRich: and once again we're alone. I think that you and me have no lives.
Curiouscat: that's not true. I do have a life. Just not a very exciting one. Well mostly anyways.
RicheyRich: what do you mean? That you wander around here just because you're bored?
Curiouscat: So? I've heard worse. Its kinda nice I mean. It's a great escape from the worries of life.
RicheyRich: yeah. I guess so. Maybe that's why I keep coming back.
Curiouscat: I think it is. So tell me Richey. Why here of all places? I mean I know that you're older than the rest of us by at least a few years.
RicheyRich: I don't know. Maybe because I can be myself without pretending eh?
Curiouscat: Hey! That's copyrighted! My idea!
RicheyRich: well it's a smart one. And true.
Curiouscat: I know. Its different in real life. I mean when I talk with my friends. With each one I have a...different mask.
RicheyRich: oh? What do you mean by that?
Curiouscat: have you ever felt trapped by life? I mean there are things that which we all can't escape. And we must cope. By putting on, armor to protect us from others. Get what I'm saying?
RicheyRich: very much so. I understand completely. I go through that throughout my daily life. I live among sharks and blood seekers. I guess that's why I escape the anonymity of the internet.
Curiouscat: same here. Well, except for the people I have to...'live' with are more ignorant and not so blood thirsty.
RicheyRich: So tell me 'cat. What are some of your favorite hobbies?
Curiouscat: Eh...I don't know. Reading?
RicheyRich: you don't know what you is your favorite thing to do?
Curiouscat: Hey, I'm trying here. Um, I think I'd have to say that I like to go exploring.
RicheyRich: Really? Where exactly?
Curiouscat: anywhere really. The woods, the city. As long as it is new territory. Where no one knows me or judges me. You?
RicheyRich: I like to play games.
Curiouscat: Games?
RicheyRich: Yes games.
Curiouscat: okay... what kind of games?
RicheyRich: any really. Depends on the person.
Curiouscat: so you like to play mind games?
RicheyRich: yeah I guess that's one way to put it. I like to test someone...to see how good they are. Or smart in some cases.
Curiouscat: interesting. I've never really met anyone whose really interested in the mind. Or how to manipulate it.
RicheyRich: Well lets that its something that my family does very well. I got used to doing it so much that sometimes I forget that I'm doing it.
Chloe smiled. wishing for the hundredth time that she could meet this, RicheyRich character. He was quiet amusing.
Curiouscat: I bet. Well, its getting really late and if my dad hears me tapping away on this computer I'm dead. Good night Richey.
RicheyRich: Night 'cat. Sleep well.
Curious cat has left the conversation.
