""IAM [sic] STILL A TOUGH, HETEROSEXUAL MAN, DAMMIT"

- Chris, laying it down

The following is an exchange between Chris and Jackie from 1 July to 18 July 2010, wherein they rekindle their previous attraction and their honest love. We find out that Chris has posted an article on the CWCki with a fake troll account, which no doubt was some ingenious subterfuge that shocked and confused trolls. Surprisingly, we learn that this bit of sneakiness was at the request of Bob, who was frustrated by a Burger King employee, whereas Chris intended to eventually use the information posted here to "catch them in the act and take their photos, lecture them and/or kick their ass(es)". The plan was, predictably, unsuccessful.

Jackie is unimpressed with his Flipnotes
July 1, 2010 - 12:16pm Why exactly are you making a "shout out" to me in your flipnote cartoon? Why would you keep bringing me up given that you decided a long time ago that dealing with me was too much work for you?

For that matter, I wonder why you draw your silly Sonichu on these flipnotes, but when I asked you to work on your actual comic for me you ignored that too.

I just don't get why you would shout out to a girl who wasn't worth your time when you had her. I hope it isn't some ploy to convince other girls that you care about them, because they'll always be able to ask me if they want to know what your REAL priorities are. Hypocrite.

Sorry for being such a kind caring gentle person
July 2, 2010 - 7:04pm Chris,

I guess you're right. I'm sorry that I snapped at you. I guess emotions are just running high for me. I guess that's evidence that I just felt so torn by everything that happened. But I still think about you sometimes, and wonder about what could have been. How are you doing?

Jackie will be in town soon
July 7, 2010 8:34pm How sad! I'm so sorry things have been difficult for you. I can understand being wary of online relationships. You never really know what's going on on the other end. But you know Chris, while I am out of state most of the summer... I will, however, be in Charlottesville around the second week of August. I don't want to rush into anything, especially after our recent fight but… maybe you'd like to meet to talk or something? We could play it by ear and see what happens… :) I always did care about you Chris. I think… more then I ever have for someone else. I don't want to give up on you, on us. Just hanging out would be enough for me.

Chris offers to meet her at the mall, trolls unsurprised
July 8, 2010 - 8:53pm Great! I don't know all the details yet of my return but I'll keep you posted. What else is going on with you these days?

How are your trolls doing?
July 18, 2010 - 5:11pm

Hey Chris! I was wondering when I'd hear back from you. I'll attach a pic of me for you.

So what's been going on with you this summer? Been a while since we talked. I'm sooo glad to be done with school for the summer, I've been travelling around visiting some friends of mine in their home cities, driving cross-country, so on; it's hectic but a nice change from all that schoolwork. Like I said, coming back in early August (but still not sure on the day).

So what about you? What ever happened with that website about you? I figure they gave up and went away by now, you know those trolls have such short attention spans. What's going on with your comic? How is your family doing? Anything else going on?

The CWCki and the "coffee place"
July 18, 2010 - 6:25pm

Hey, Chris!

I went to look around at the cwcki. It looks like they've been following you at that Fridays After Five place? Seems weird that they want to just get pictures of you there. I did see the video they made where you're dancing to the music though, looks kind of cute :) But you weren't kidding when you said they're following you around everywhere - I saw they have an article on the "coffee place", the picture shows it's a Burger King. That is the one you go to! I can't believe they could sneak in so close to you and do that! Do you know who might have taken that picture?

I don't suppose you have an account there, do you? I think you can just sign up and they let you in. You could try removing some stuff that you don't like, or something, I don't know. Do you have any ideas?

It's good that you're cutting down on the video game spending, that stuff can suck you in if you aren't careful. But you're playing Modnation racers? I've heard of that game, but haven't tried it. You're making Sonichu-themed stuff in it? I hope that helps to give you inspiration for drawing. It really sucks if you can't go to Otakon, I've heard that's a fun place. Are you sure you can't go? I think it'd be a really fun experience for you. I'd love to hear about it if you did.

Like I said, I've spent the summer driving state to state visiting friends, I'm in Michigan right now. Never really done that, traveling so much like that, I'm glad I got the chance to. Working at the paper is fun but I'm definitely taking time off for now. That's great about applying at Wal-Mart, let me know how that goes!

This is nice, I like talking to you again :)

You totally have them fooled
July 18, 2010 - 7:44pm

Hey Chris,

That was you on the burger king thing? I had no clue. I get what you're trying to do though, nice and sneaky.

I agree with Rocky that just catching people taking photos wouldn't get anywhere, the police wouldn't be able to do anything. Honestly, I don't think the cops could do anything regardless, and even if you did get one photographer in trouble with the cops there would always be more with cameras. But I think there are some other things you can do.

Your secret is safe with me about JenkinsJinkies. I read the talk page, looks like you have them hook line and sinker. But it also looks like they're giving you an in, have you read it? That asperchu comic guy is making fun of you for taking time off of your comic for inspiration (now that I read more of his writing, he seems like kind of a major asshole), but also the trolls say that they're giving you an opportunity to get inside their hidden website and get all their codes and stuff. More than just that, you can get access to their plans. You know if you could get that stuff, you could probably nuke their whole website, without that the trolls would have nowhere to go.

Some guy named "canine" (who names themselves after a dog? How dumb) said that they want you to make a secret video for them, but since "JenkinsJinkies" says he is afraid of your wrath, they'll let you wear a mask, so you can conceal your identity!I kind of think that's the best way to go, because like I say even if the cops bust one troll there are a million more around the corner, but if you mess up their base of operations they'll all lose power.

I'll stay safe on my trip, don't worry :) I'm leaving Michigan tomorrow, going to drive through Canada for a little bit actually, go to Toronto. But I still get email on my phone so we can still talk. Write back soon :)
