@ktcakes888:who posted all these links about Noah Landry qualifying for the Olympics last year?

@courtlandia:someone named @ninjaterrier, apparently

@nononycky:who’s @ninjaterrier?

@ktcakes888:a Noah Landry fanboy, obviously

@nononycky:Welp, that narrows it down

@nononycky:to half the country

@spinn_doctor:you’re still a mod, aren’t you @ktcakes888?

@spinn_doctor:you should know your own subs

@ktcakes888:um, I have a life

@ktcakes888:besides, last I checked, you’re still a mod too

@spinn_doctor:and I have two otherActiveservers

@nononycky:so that’s where all the far-right fringe theories are these days ...

@spinn_doctor:sure. since the far-left bought out mainstream media ...

@lululemonaide:what did you guys think of Rachel Vale’s book?

@lululemonaide:did anyone else read it?

@courtlandia:did you?

@lululemonaide:it’s on my dresser

@lululemonaide:but this semester has been crazy

@moonovermatter:I hear she got pictures from the Swifts

@ktcakes888:maybe we should all read it together

@lululemonaide:ohhh. Like a book club??

We agreed that yeah, sure. We could read it together, like a book club. But after finals wrapped up. After we finished our crit lit essays, our biology labs, our coding assignment. Maybe over the holidays, or after the holidays, which were always nutty.

We skirted uneasily around the subject that had made our server, broken it, and then brought us together again after all that time, verballysidestepping the topic of Lucy until the omission itself became a kind of presence. Finally Evie Grant spoke up.

@badprincess:did you guys see that post from Lucy Vale?

Just like that, the tension collapsed.

@lululemonaide:umYes

@lululemonaide:I almost died

@lululemonaide:she tagged Noah Landry !!

@courtlandia:Whichpost?

@courtlandia:I’ve seen like 20 accounts claiming to be her
