Part 3: Exchange
The bad news came on November 9th, 2012. TM was fated to shut down. In an email, I read the apology to all users, an apology that was about a paragraph long saying a short farewell and thanks to all its remaining supporters. I immediately signed on as Priestess, going into Selfy Town to see those supporters talking about the news. The topic in my group was non-stop about the closure of TM, leaving us with about a month left to say goodbye to your friends.
Having made a separate email for this occasion, I began to ask the group if we could keep in contact after the site closed. To my surprise, all them agreed. Quickly jotting down their emails, I would later add them to my contacts list in my gmail.
I began exploring Selfy Town, looking for more users who hadn't abandoned the site. Looking, I suppose, for people whose friends had abandoned them. After all, I knew the feeling of being abandoned on TM and wanted to make sure those people could have a friend to talk to about the site. If they wanted a friend, that is.
While searching, I came across many people that I also added to my contacts list. My general theory was that if I approached them nicely; I could ask them if they wanted to exchange emails. Most people responded positively, having never thought of keeping in touch after the site went down.
That's when I met him.
Leaving Selfy Town, I noticed an active profile page. I guess what attracted me to his page, amongst others, was his username and the unique way he had dressed his selfie. His name, "Inugami", roughly translated to "dog god" suggested to me his interest for anime and the Japanese culture. His casual style of mixing and matching the popular clothes with the newbie pack of clothes showed me that he didn't like to follow the crowd. While he could be spending his remaining time in Selfy Town, he was online, but not interested in following the crowd. He was independent, and I knew right then that I wanted to make him my friend. I just hoped he would be okay with it.. So I sent him a private message, it read:
"Hey! My name is Priestess. Would you like to be friends? I'm making new friends and exchanging emails. Would this interest you?"
Almost immediately, he replied back with, "haha sounds fun. Yeah, we can be friends. What's your email?"
And so, that's how we became friends. In the month that we had left, I spent most of it with my group at ChibiPet Area, roaming the now empty Selfy Town and private messaging my new friends who had exchanged their emails with me. I was super confident for the closure of TM, which finally took place on December 10th, 2012.
