Poe

Poe is a college student from the Phone Fling Update, who somehow manages to contact you while he is attempting to make notes on his phone. He is unlocked when you reach the Friendzone with Garret.
Poe was chosen as the winner of Vote-a-Fling Season 1 and is the first Phone Fling guy to be turned into a fully Date-able guy. To unlock him as a full guy, you have to complete all 3 of his conversations with you and get 14 stamps on LTE event or purchasing the Poe Bundle. He is the fifteenth guy in the game's main tab, but he is not part of the main story and you do not need to unlock any other guys to obtain him.
You first meet Poe in person after he is transformed into a magpie. While walking through the woods, you find a stump with murky leaf water, and when you're about to take a sip, he stops you.
Personality
[edit | edit source]Poe's update describes him as a little dark, a little damaged and a little moody, a mixture of pretentious and conscientious.

SFW Version
[edit | edit source]Poe believes he's making notes on his phone and getting responses from Sirina. How long will it take him to notice he's actually texting you?

|---|---|---|
| 1/35 | Is there anything more dull… | |
| 2/35 | Than forcing nonsense into my skull? | |
| 3/35 | My eyes start to droop; | |
| 4/35 | Read a line in an endless loop. | |
| 5/35 | I haven’t slept in days; | |
| 6/35 | The world around me fades... | |
| (A) | Not to ruin the lovely poetry but, you really should sleep. | |
| (B) | You sound super cute; and you’re a poet to boot. | |
| 7/35 | Sleep is for the weak. | That rhyme was basic, phone. Do I need to upgrade you or something? |
| 8/35 | I thought you only corrected typos, phone. But I guess now you give advice? | |
| 9/35 | Well, far be it from me to be impolite. Hello phone. | |
| 10/35 | What wise words of wisdom have you come to impart on me? | |
| (A) | You texted me. | |
| (B) | Nothing rhymes with orange. | |
| 11/35 | That’s how I write notes in you, phone. I didn’t set up this arrangement. | Not exactly wise. |
| 12/35 | Where do I disable the “poetry critique” option... | But a good thing to keep in mind if I’m ever depressed over fruit. |
| 13/35 | Phones are getting too smart. Inverse to people. | |
| 14/35 | I guess this is like a Sirina thing? You type back? | |
| 15/35 | Hey Sirina, what’s the meaning of life? | |
| (A) | The meaning of life is 42. | |
| (B) | Changing animals back into boys. | |
| 16/35 | Of course it’s a Math thing. Math - not even once. | Hmm. Biology answer. Science isn’t my thing. |
| 17/35 | I’m an English major. | |
| 18/35 | As in, ‘English is a major downer because every literary person ever was a hack or depressed or both.’ | |
| 19/35 | It’s magnificent. | |
| 20/35 | But what’s not magnificent is reading an essay on how the use of punctuation gives us a window into the hidden social injustices of 14th century candle makers. | |
| 21/35 | Why does that need 728 pages to explain? Why is bull poop so long winded? | |
| (A) | I can tell you’re very passionate about this. | |
| (B) | Are you sure you don’t hate what you’re studying? | |
| 22/35 | Yes. | I loathe the “people” far more than the subject matter. |
| 23/35 | It gets under my fingernails the way some people think they can say “this is good” and “this is trash”. | |
| 24/35 | Especially when they say it about what I’m writing. I’m like, “There’s only one trashy thing around here, Trashy McTrashface.” | |
| 25/35 | Hmm. Interesting. I’m going to put you to the test, Sirina thing. What’s my favorite poem? | |
| (A) | Roses are red…? | |
| (B) | Alone - look into a mind that doesn’t like the same things as others, despite being raised the same. | |
| 26/35 | Hmm. You’ve failed me worse than my father, Sirina. | Hmm. Can relate. |
| 27/35 | Just kidding. But I’m afraid I actually detest that poem. | I particularly love the ending of the metaphorical interest in view. |
| 28/35 | Not because it’s simple. But because violets aren’t blue. They’re violet. | And the lack of doing anything to stop it. |
| 29/35 | But that’s not my favorite. | |
| 30/35 | Trick question. Don’t have one. | |
| 31/35 | Favorite is a strange idea. How can you love one thing above all others? | |
| 32/35 | How does a new favorite replace an older one? Is there a finite time that “love” fades into “like”? | |
| 33/35 | Take myself, as the example. | |
| 34/35 | Am I “favorite” material? Or, likewise, am I only enjoyable to one type of person? | |
| 35/35 | [Poe Photo 1] | |
| (A) | You’re definitely enjoyable to me. | |
| (B) | I’m a sucker for cute boys in chokers. | |
| 1/70 | Flattery will get you nowhere. | Okay, phone. |
| 2/70 | Such a weird phone feature. | |
| 3/70 | Where did I deactivate the “flirt with me” option for you? | |
| 4/70 | Hmm. I probably shouldn’t have taken that selfie. Apparently it activated “thirsty mode” or something. | |
| 5/70 | Oh damn. | |
| 6/70 | I really am texting someone. New phone, new icon, ect. | |
| 7/70 | Damn. I’ve been pouring my cold dead heart out to someone I don’t even know. | |
| 8/70 | So I did just send you a photo, huh? | |
| (A) | And a very nice photo it was. | |
| (B) | You did. Side note - I like that you know what you like. It’s a rare thing! | |
| 9/70 | Well… | Good to know. |
| 10/70 | Thanks? | You’re a rare breed. |
| 11/70 | I think? | I tend to get shut down in conversations. |
| 12/70 | Not used to compliments. | Teachers don’t like it when you disagree with them. |
| 13/70 | Introductions. | |
| 14/70 | That’s what people usually do. | |
| 15/70 | I’m Poe. | |
| 16/70 | And I would love if the abyss swallowed me whole right about now. | |
| (A) | Wouldn’t recommend. The abyss has a terrible reception. | |
| (B) | At this point, I’m hoping you’ll just call me “muse”. I’m digging this poem/convo. | |
| 17/70 | Ha. | So mysterious. |
| 18/70 | Yeah, that’s probably right. | I can roll with that. |
| 19/70 | You’re interesting. | |
| 20/70 | Truth be told, mixing curiosity with genuine mystery is… tempting. | |
| 21/70 | I now have questions... | |
| 22/70 | And yet… | |
| Pause | 12 hour pause | |
| 23/70 | Hey. Sorry for the dead silence. | |
| 24/70 | Passed out. Rolled off my bed. Two days without sleep makes for an abrupt conversation. | |
| 25/70 | Not gonna lie, it was needed. | |
| (A) | No bumps or bruises? | |
| (B) | Thankful for the nap but you didn’t injure yourself, yeah? | |
| 26/70 | Nothing that wasn’t already there. | Just the usual emotional scars. Oh, and I hit my funny bone. |
| 27/70 | I landed safely in a pile of books. | |
| 28/70 | The only real fallout were the dreams. Lots of weird dreams last night. | |
| 29/70 | Some nice, some not so nice. | |
| (A) | Sweet dreams are made of these. | |
| (B) | Care to elaborate? | |
| 30/70 | Who had a mind to disagree? (Lame. But I had to finish that.) | Geez, trying to remember dreams is like trying to grab naps. |
| 31/70 | I’ll tell you about some of them though. | Not sure where the handles are. But I’ll try my best... |
| 32/70 | Yes, that’s it. Books trying to devour me. | |
| 33/70 | Fictional crushes coming out of books. | |
| 34/70 | Poetry chasing its own tail. | |
| 35/70 | A person with a phone for a face. | |
| 36/70 | Bleh. Utter nonsense. I need to stay away from caffeine for a few days. | |
| (A) | Fictional Crushes…? | |
| (B) | Phone for a face sounds like it could be a metaphor for… | |
| 37/70 | Ugh. You know the type. Characters who are written to be manipulatively nice. | For not drinking coffee with maple syrup before bed. |
| 38/70 | Uplifting. Enthusiastic. | Dreams are dumb. And utter madness. |
| 39/70 | Mary Sues and Marty Stus made to make you adore them. Bleh. | Which means they can be fun, but you probably shouldn’t dwell on what they mean. |
| 40/70 | You’re nosy by the way. | |
| 41/70 | I like it though. Speak your mind. | |
| 42/70 | Actually, perhaps you could help me out a bit? | |
| 43/70 | There’s this book that we’re reading and we have to analyse the main romance. | |
| 44/70 | So…. I hate it. So much hate. | |
| 45/70 | Main character is this annoying broody moron who can’t see that the other person likes them. | |
| 46/70 | The romantic interest is this bubbly helpful idiot who sticks around and deals with moron’s personality defects. | |
| (A) | So you hate the main character? | |
| (B) | So you hate the love interest? | |
| 47/70 | Of course I do. | I hate that they keep trying. |
| 48/70 | They’re a stereotype. They have no depth. | The idiot is a lost cause. |
| 49/70 | Just a ‘poor me, life sucks’ character. | Move on. |
| 50/70 | My point is that there is no way that this could work. | |
| 51/70 | Pure fantasy. | |
| 52/70 | My professor… Loves this garbage. Thinks it literary gold. | |
| 53/70 | We’ve been studying this all semester. | |
| 54/70 | Frankly - I don’t know why she’s teaching us at all. She’s a science teacher who moonlights as an English teacher? | |
| (A) | I think you’re projecting. | |
| (B) | Maybe you’re jealous of the main character? | |
| 55/70 | On what? The main character?! | Of what? Their relationship to the love interest? |
| 56/70 | Please. They’re a moronic waste of space who should just leave. | Jealous that they found someone so perfect to deal with their drama? |
| 57/70 | It’s completely contrived that their friends even stick around at this point. | People like me don’t get people like that. |
| 58/70 | If they could get out of bed for once… | *like them. Damn autocorrect |
| 59/70 | Oh. | Oh… Damn. |
| 60/70 | Epiphanies suck. | |
| (A) | What I’m hearing is that you do actually enjoy it but you don’t want to admit it. | |
| (B) | Nah! You’re being too hard on yourself. I like you just fine - no drama. | |
| 61/70 | Tell no one. | Yet… You sound like the love interest. |
| 62/70 | If I admit to liking a sappy romance, I'll lose my goth credentials. | I really hope you’re intentionally making a point here. |
| 63/70 | They’ll take away my combat boots. | Otherwise this whole thing just got a bit too meta for my liking. |
| 64/70 | How does that expression go? If you see jerks everywhere you go, then you’re probably the jerk. | |
| 65/70 | Yeah. I miss my night terrors from earlier. | |
| 66/70 | I kind of feel that I’ve accidentally exposed myself to you much more than I intended. | |
| 67/70 | So… | |
| 68/70 | Why not? I’ll complete the mistake. | |
| 69/70 | This is Poe. He is not very self aware. | |
| 70/70 | [Poe Photo 2] | |
| 1/50 | Hmm. For some reason I feel quite a bit better suddenly. | |
| 2/50 | Like when something you don’t understand just sort of ‘clicks’. | |
| 3/50 | Though that probably just makes me much more weird. Bleh. Rigged game. | |
| (A) | Sound like you might need to vent some more? | |
| (B) | You okay man? Tell me things. | |
| 4/50 | I… uh… um… | Ah. Yeah. |
| 5/50 | No, I’m okay. | Sorry for the depression spike. |
| 6/50 | It’s nice to hear that someone cares. | I’m fine - and thanks for asking. |
| 7/50 | Even if you are a complete stranger. | Got a little too comfortable. |
| 8/50 | It’s… a nice feeling. | You feel really trustworthy. |
| 9/50 | I’m enjoying this conversation. I feel like I could stay up all night chatting with you. | |
| 10/50 | Saying whatever I want… | |
| 11/50 | Complaining about dumb romance books. | |
| 12/50 | Actually, speaking of which, I’ll explain a little more about what’s bugging me about this book I’m reading. | |
| 13/50 | Specifically the assignment I need to do. The Prof wants us to write a new scene, using the characters as inspiration. | |
| 14/50 | Fanfiction. She’s getting us to write fanfiction. She’s insane. | |
| (A) | Best. Profesor. Ever. | |
| (B) | Writer’s block? | |
| 15/50 | I respectfully disagree. | I have plenty of ideas but none I’d feel worth writing. |
| 16/50 | I’m garbage for that kind of expositional nonsense. | Plus I don’t want to write something unbelievable. |
| 17/50 | Not to mention the schmaltzy tone I’m supposed to ascribe. | I don’t have a lot of ‘romantic’ experience. |
| 18/50 | I just - how am I supposed to write this? | |
| 19/50 | I don’t connect with the subject matter at all. Even if I want to. | |
| (A) | Your poetry’s on point. Why not use that as the starting point? | |
| (B) | Pretend I’m the love interest. Write to me. | |
| 20/50 | That’s… Dumb enough to work. | Hmm. You really do remind me of them. |
| Pause | 24 hour pause | |
| 21/50 | Okay, I’ll give it a try. | |
| 22/50 | You’re a nice person. Caring. | |
| 23/50 | I like talking to you. Sharing. Baring myself. | |
| 24/50 | Having fun, making one two three memories, just to please these subjects. | |
| 25/50 | I connect. I respect. I start to expect that… | |
| 26/50 | (Damn, this is so cheesy.) | |
| (A) | Keep going! | |
| (B) | The cheesy romance was within you all along. | |
| 27/50 | Really? | Bite your tongue. |
| 28/50 | This feels like Cringe City, but I’ll keep going. | But… Maybe you’re right. I must embrace the cliches. I must become them. |
| 29/50 | I see us talking music. Hear us staring. | |
| 30/50 | Swapping terrible horror DVDs so we can start scaring. | |
| 31/50 | Wearing each other’s jewellery. For foolery. We bling. | |
| 32/50 | Trading meaningless dreams with each other. | |
| 33/50 | Sharing poetry. | |
| (A) | I’m really digging this. Keep going! | |
| (B) | I don’t want to jinx you. Keep going. | |
| 34/50 | (Okay…) | (I’m still not convinced this isn’t mega cringe, but as you wish…) |
| 35/50 | Our eyes are open in a dream. | |
| 36/50 | Yours are drinking mine, unseen. | |
| 37/50 | My lips are trembling, wordless whispers. | |
| 38/50 | Thoughts are ringing, mindless espers. | |
| 39/50 | Your words are hands now touching me… | |
| 40/50 | (Bleh. This is fun, but I feel like a hack…) | |
| (A) | No no! You’re almost there! Finish it! | |
| (B) | Would you just finish the damn poem? | |
| 41/50 | (...Okay. I’ll bring it home) | (Hahaha! Okay. But only because you asked so nicely.) |
| 42/50 | So are we star crossed, or tempest tossed? | |
| 43/50 | Are we doomed to love and loss? | |
| 44/50 | Do we care? Whether love is fair or a momentary flare? | |
| 45/50 | Well, I don’t. | |
| 46/50 | I don’t care how others may compare. Who stops and stares. | |
| 47/50 | Whether it’s trite or not, I only see you. Hear you. Love you. | |
| 48/50 | That’s all it needs to be… And no matter what... | |
| 49/50 | It’s still a joke, and here’s the butt. | |
| 50/50 | [Poe Photo 3] | |
| (A) | And a nice butt it is. | |
| (B) | Not the ending I was expecting… | |
| 1/∞ | It’s a rare sight. | Yeah, I realized that I hadn’t finished the novel yet, so I wasn’t sure how to end the poem. |
| 2/∞ | Normally it’s hidden under an obnoxious coat. The best kind of coat. | So I used my end. Ba dum tish. |
| 3/∞ | What a strangely productive day. | |
| 4/∞ | And here I thought I’d have to fake a disease to get out of the assignment. | |
| (A) | Let me know if I need to be your love interest again. | |
| (B) | A creative block is the worst kind of disease for an artist. That and smallpox. | |
| 5/∞ | Don’t think you’ll ever stop… | Hahaha. |
| 6/∞ | I mean. | I don’t think my professor is so pompous to accept that. |
| 7/∞ | You’re good inspiration. | But I like your thinking. |
| 8/∞ | Yeah, that’s it. | Keep doing that. The thinking. |
| 9/∞ | Anyway. | |
| 10/∞ | I’d love to continue being inspired with you. | |
| 11/∞ | I have class soon. | |
| 12/∞ | Thanks for being both fun distraction and necessary inspiration. | |
| 13/∞ | It’s been… Interesting. | |
| 14/∞ | Take it easy. | |
Uncut Version

| 1/70 | Thanks? | You’re a phone but sure. Whatever. |
| 2/70 | Such a weird phone feature. | |
| 3/70 | This is wigging me out a bit. Are you horny, phone? | |

| (A) | Unsolicited. But appreciated. | |
| (B) | Your intent was pure. No worries on this end. | |
| 9/70 | Sorry. | Still a bad move. |
| 10/70 | But you’re welcome? | All of this was a bad move. |
| 11/70 | I guess? | Should pay more attention. |

| 44/70 | So…. I hate it. So much hate. | |
| 45/70 | Main character is this annoying broody moron who can’t see that the other person likes them. | |
| 46/70 | The romantic interest is this bubbly helpful idiot who sticks around and deals with moron’s personality defects. | |
| (A) | So you hate the main character? | |
| (B) | So you hate the love interest? | |
| 47/70 | Of course I do. | I hate that they keep trying. |
| 48/70 | They’re a stereotype. They have no depth. | The idiot is a lost cause. |
| 49/70 | Just a ‘poor me, life sucks’ character. | Move on. |
| 50/70 | My point is that there is no way that this could work. | |
| 51/70 | Pure fantasy. | |
| 52/70 | My professor… Loves this garbage. Thinks it literary gold. | |
| 53/70 | We’ve been studying this all semester. | |
| 54/70 | Frankly - I don’t know why she’s teaching us at all. She’s a science teacher who moonlights as an English teacher? | |
| (A) | I think you’re projecting. | |
| (B) | Maybe you’re jealous of the main character? | |
| 55/70 | On what? The main character?! | Of what? Their relationship to the love interest? |
| 56/70 | Please. They’re a moronic waste of space who should just leave. | Jealous that they found someone so perfect to deal with their drama? |
| 57/70 | It’s completely contrived that their friends even stick around at this point. | People like me don’t get people like that. |
| 58/70 | If they could get out of bed for once… | *like them. Damn autocorrect |
| 59/70 | Oh. | Oh… Damn. |
| 60/70 | Epiphanies suck. | |
| (A) | What I’m hearing is that you do actually enjoy it but you don’t want to admit it. | |
| (B) | Nah! You’re being too hard on yourself. I like you just fine - no drama. | |
| 61/70 | Tell no one. | Yet… You sound like the love interest. |
| 62/70 | If I admit to liking a sappy romance, I'll lose my goth credentials. | I really hope you’re intentionally making a point here. |
| 63/70 | They’ll take away my combat boots. | Otherwise this whole thing just got a bit too meta for my liking. |
| 64/70 | How does that expression go? If you see jerks everywhere you go, then you’re probably the jerk. | |
| 65/70 | Yeah. I miss my night terrors from earlier. | |
| 66/70 | I kind of feel that I’ve accidentally exposed myself to you much more than I intended. | |
| 67/70 | So… | |
| 68/70 | Why not? I’ll complete the mistake. | |
| 69/70 | This is Poe. He is not very self aware. | |
| 70/70 | [Poe Photo 2] | |
| 1/50 | Umm… Please excuse the… Explicit nudity. | |
| 2/50 | I was trying to be a bit artistic, but got a bit… | |
| 3/50 | Dick pic-ky there. | |
| (A) | Of course not! You’re excited, I can get behind that. | |
| (B) | I see nothing to be concerned about. This is all good stuff. | |
| 4/50 | Promise? | Thanks. |
| 5/50 | About the “get behind” stuff? | I’m just a guy taking photos and I happen to be naked. |
| 6/50 | Haha. Sex joke. That’s about the limit of my comedy. | Geez, that sounds super ‘fuckboy’. |
| 7/50 | Real talk though - I kind of like freaky. | No more dick pics. I promise. |
| 8/50 | Makes me feel alive. | Unless you ask, I suppose. Different story. |
| 9/50 | I’m enjoying this conversation. I feel like I could stay up all night chatting with you. | |
| 10/50 | Saying whatever I want… | |
| 11/50 | Complaining about dumb romance books. | |
| 12/50 | Actually, speaking of which, I’ll explain a little more about what’s bugging me about this book I’m reading. | |
| 13/50 | Specifically the assignment I need to do. The Prof wants us to write a new scene, using the characters as inspiration. | |
| 14/50 | Fanfiction. She’s getting us to write fanfiction. She’s insane. | |
| (A) | Fluff or Smut? | |
| (B) | Need someone to be your “inspiration”? ;) | |
| 15/50 | They didn’t say. | What, like roleplay a fantasy? |
| 16/50 | But handing in a sex scene doesn’t seem like the best idea. | In that case, I’d only know how to write an electronic relationship. |
| 17/50 | What if I arouse my teacher? Ew. | Though… I suppose those are pretty real. |
| 18/50 | I just - how am I supposed to write this? | |
| 19/50 | I don’t connect with the subject matter at all. Even if I want to. | |
| (A) | Your poetry’s on point. Why not use that as the starting point? | |
| (B) | Pretend I’m the love interest. Write to me. | |
| 20/50 | That’s… Dumb enough to work. | Hmm. You really do remind me of them. |
| Pause | 24 hour pause | |
| 21/50 | Okay, I’ll give it a try. | |
| 22/50 | You’re a nice person. Caring. | |
| 23/50 | I like talking to you. Sharing. Baring myself. | |
| 24/50 | Having fun, making one two three memories, just to please these subjects. | |
| 25/50 | I connect. I respect. I start to expect that… | |
| 26/50 | (Damn, this is so cheesy.) | |
| (A) | Keep going! | |
| (B) | The cheesy romance was within you all along. | |
| 27/50 | Really? | Bite your tongue. |
| 28/50 | This feels like Cringe City, but I’ll keep going. | But… Maybe you’re right. I must embrace the cliches. I must become them. |
| 29/50 | I see us talking music. Hear us staring. | |
| 30/50 | Swapping terrible horror DVDs so we can start scaring. | |
| 31/50 | Wearing each other’s jewellery. For foolery. We bling. | |
| 32/50 | Trading meaningless dreams with each other. | |
| 33/50 | Sharing poetry. | |
| (A) | I’m really digging this. Keep going! | |
| (B) | I don’t want to jinx you. Keep going. | |
| 34/50 | (Okay…) | (I’m still not convinced this isn’t mega cringe, but as you wish…) |
| 35/50 | Our eyes are open in a dream. | |
| 36/50 | Yours are drinking mine, unseen. | |
| 37/50 | My lips are trembling, wordless whispers. | |
| 38/50 | Thoughts are ringing, mindless espers. | |
| 39/50 | Your words are hands now touching me… | |
| 40/50 | (Bleh. This is fun, but I feel like a hack…) | |
| (A) | No no! You’re almost there! Finish it! | |
| (B) | Would you just finish the damn poem? | |
| 41/50 | (...Okay. I’ll bring it home) | (Hahaha! Okay. But only because you asked so nicely.) |
| 42/50 | Your lips on mine. | |
| 43/50 | Awkward urgent limbs entwine. | |
| 44/50 | Climb on top. Make me your pet. | |
| 45/50 | Tease me. Deny me what I need to get. | |
| 46/50 | Press inside me. Kiss my mouth. | |
| 47/50 | Break my choker. Grip the south. | |
| 48/50 | Make me scream, and no matter what... | |
| 49/50 | It’s still a joke, and here’s the butt. | |
| 50/50 | [Poe Photo 3] | |
| (A) | Things got a bit… Interesting at the end there. | |
| (B) | Well, now I can’t help imagine all the things I want to do to you. | |
| 1/∞ | Truthfully, I was getting a bit turned on. | That’s the idea. |
| 2/∞ | So I needed a bit of humor to bring it back down. | I want to be unable to form coherent speech. |
| 3/∞ | What a strangely productive day. | |
| 4/∞ | And here I thought I’d have to fake a disease to get out of the assignment. | |
| (A) | That last part was definitely just you pretending to be the main character. | |
| (B) | If I was next to you, there would be absolutely no productivity. | |
| 5/∞ | Uhhhhhh. | As if I wasn’t horny enough right now. |
| 6/∞ | Yeeeaaah… | I like the idea of you teasing me while I work. |
| 7/∞ | Just getting in the headspace. | Or at least, I try to work. |
| 8/∞ | I go the extra mile in my work. | But then I can’t take it anymore and we just fuck on my desk. |
| 9/∞ | Anyway. | |
| 10/∞ | I’d rather stay and get hot and heavy through texts but… | |
| 11/∞ | I have class soon. | |
| 12/∞ | Thanks for being both fun distraction and necessary inspiration. | |
| 13/∞ | It’s been… Interesting. | |
| 14/∞ | Take it easy. | |

|---|---|---|
| 1/∞ | Hello. | |
| 2/∞ | It's me, Poe. | |
| 3/∞ | I wanted to apologize for our last conversation. | |
| 4/∞ | I think I may have made an ass of myself. | |
| 5/∞ | Literally. | |
| 6/∞ | (This. This is why I hate myself. Why am I the way that I am?) | |
| 7/∞ | Ugh. | |
| 8/∞ | Normally I don't give a crap what people think of me, but for whatever reason, I just keep remembering you. | |

| 10/∞ | So yeah. | |
| 11/∞ | Sorry for being weird. | |
| (A) | Who is this again? | |
| (B) | No need to apologize! | |
| 12/∞ | ... | Well. |
| 13/∞ | Right. | I'm doing it anyway. |
| 14/∞ | And now I'm going to take a long walk through the sketchiest wood I can find and, with any luck, dissapear forever. | It wasn't the first impression I would have chosen to give off, if I'd thought it through a little more. |
| 15/∞ | Because clearly, I wasn't thinking. | |
| (A) | I'm weird too, Poe. You can tell from the jokes I make. | |
| (B) | You might need to take things a tad less seriously... | |
| 16/∞ | Oh. Okay, I see how it is. | Oh, I never take anything seriously. |
| 17/∞ | So... | |
| 18/∞ | We're good? | |
| (A) | Yeah, of course! | |
| (B) | Yes. But we'd be even better if we got to know each other a bit more! | |
| 19/∞ | Okay. You do seem exeptionally easy-going. | Yeah? You wanna, like, be friends? |
| 20/∞ | I wouldn't mind talking with you more... | |
| 21/∞ | But anyway. | |
| 22/∞ | I'm looking through my window right now and there's an ominous fog rolling in. | |
| 23/∞ | I really can't resist an old-fashioned walk through a creepy forest in unsettling weather, so... | |
| 24/∞ | I'm gonna go do that. | |
| 25/∞ | Talk later? | |
| (A) | Understandable. Enjoy, and let me know when you're home. | |
| (B) | Umm... Please be safe? | |
| 26/∞ | Home is just a body. | Are we ever truly safe? |
| 27/∞ | Carrying our spirits through the physical world. | In these fragile, mortal bodies? |

Dialogue List
[edit | edit source]First Meeting
[edit | edit source]- You're enjoying a stroll through the woods when you find a hollow stump filled with murky leaf water. It looks a lot like free soup, actually, and you're pretty hungry...
- Just as you're about to take a sip, a magpie flies into the side of your head, shrieking, "Don't drink the haunted tree water! You'll be so, SO cursed!"
- Wait a minute, that's Poe! And it looks like he's speaking from experience. At least this explains why he never texted you back...
Adversary
Pop-up Dialogue
[edit | edit source]- Look away! Avert your eyes, I beg of you! This is so. Dang. Embarrassing. I'm...I'm a MAGPIE? How stupid is that!?
Talk
[edit | edit source]- Quoth the magpie... Ugh, never mind.
- Can't talk right now. Too busy wallowing in self-pity.
- How could this happen to me... I made a mistake... I don't know the words... I just know this sucks.
- I'm glad you found me. I'd just like to apologize in advance for any "fowl" language that comes out of my mouth. Um, beak. Aha... Frick, I was trying to be funny, but this is just depressing.
- I don't know why I transformed into a magpie. I don't even like pie! Okay, blackberry pie is pretty good, but that's it. I don't like any other pie! I know I'm not making sense, just... Let me be upset. Ugh.
Poke
[edit | edit source]- *KRACAAWWW* Dust and ashes, did that sound come out of me?
Upgrade to Acquaintance
[edit | edit source]- THERE IS A BIRD SKELETON INSIDE OF ME.
- Sorry. I keep forgetting, and then suddenly remembering, and it freaks me out every time.

[edit | edit source]- Why is a raven like a writing desk? Hmm. Well, I might know the answer to that... IF I WAS A RAVEN!
Talk
[edit | edit source]- *Panting* Oh man. I saw something really shiny just now, but when I went up to grab it I saw my reflection and scared the crap out of myself! Err - by the way, if you find a weird splotch on your car, it... Wasn't me.
- Oh how I miss you, my darling platform boots. I miss your towering height, the music made by your buckles and chains... Wait a sec. I just had a great idea for a business. Ready? Shoes for birds. It's too dumb to fail!
- I flew face-first into a window today. Explain to me why society needs so many gigantic, obnoxiously clean windows everywhere? There's more to life than a streak-free shine, people!
- All you ever hear is "quoth the raven" this and "quoth the raven" that. Well, did anyone ever think to ask the other corvids what they had to say? No!
- I sure am craving a nice cup of dark-roast coffee... Wait, how can I drink coffee? I don't have any lips! Okay, you can stop laughing now. This is a serious problem.
Poke

Upgrade to Frenemy
[edit | edit source]- You look concerned. Is this more than you bargained for?
- I get it, and it's cool if you can't really help - I know how to keep my expectations low.
- [With 'Friend' picture] While strolling through the brightly-lit park, Poe gives a heavy sigh. "WelI, I guess it's less likely we'll encounter any cursed trees in a place like this. You must be one of those 'good influences' my mom is always on about. At least she'll be glad we're friends."
Frenemy
Pop-up Dialogue
[edit | edit source]- Oh hey. I was just lamenting over my new feet, and the fact that they no longer fit into shoes. Sigh. Well, at least I can perch with these. Imagine being a flightless bird, like a rooster or something? That'd be SO sad.

Upgrade to Friendzone
[edit | edit source]- Well, at least one good thing to come out of this is that we got to meet in person. Wait, can I still say "in-person" if I'm a bird? Eh, who cares. Friends?
- Cool. So as a friend, would you mind helping me paint these talons? I just really miss my black nail polish...
Friendzone
Pop-up Dialogue
[edit | edit source]- I brought this on myself. I should have known the ominous fog and creepy silence were portents of something horrible to come. Not to mention the "Free Tree Water" sign. Ugh - NOTHING in life is free.
Talk
[edit | edit source]- What do you wanna do today? I was thinking I could hang out in your backpack making snarky comments and throwing eggs at all the people we dislike.
- My nickname in high school was "Poe-ser". Like poser, but with my name in it. Anyway, all my bullies work at the mall now, and I'm a freaking magpie. Joke's on them, right? Riiiight?
- I made you a nest. For some reason. I know it's weird. I don't know why I did it. I'm sorry I even told you at this point. But if you do happen to want it, it's just over there. In a tree.
- Life is a tragicomedy. The glass isn't half-empty, it's broken. And there's milk spilling everywhere. And that's a valid reason to cry because milk is expensive. Also, did you know cows have best friends?
- What if I'm stuck like this forever? Will my human memories fade as the bird-brain takes me over? Actually, that might make a good short story. Grab a pen and scribe for me, will you?
- I wanna apologize for being so... Melodramatic. Earlier. Turns out being a magpie isn't all that different from being a raven. And anyway, there's something to be said for the lack of "celebrity". Aren't all the best artists underappreciated?

- All right, well... I'm trusting you.
- [With 'Kiss' picture] "A kiss, a kiss, to cure what's amiss..." You lean in and give Poe a gentle peck on the tip of his beak. A ghostly glimmer, bubbles that shimmer, and the ancient curse is almost entirely shattered!

[edit | edit source]- Behold! The curse is... Mostly broken. Well, my mind and soul are mostly broken too, so that's cool I guess.
Talk
[edit | edit source]- The scariest monsters are the ones that lurk within our souls. My ol' pal Edgar said that. Smart man. So anyway, here's a list of stuff we'll need for the DIY exorcism I've been planning.
- Wanna wander around aimlessly with me? We can talk about all the bad decisions we've made, or the terrible secrets we keep... Y'know, whatever gets us questioning each other's moral compasses.
- You're not so bad, you know. I mean, you're weird and your life seems a bit "bats in the belfry", but I dig it. It's like every day is Halloween.
- There sure are a lot of weirdos around here. That's cool though. I myself am strange and unusual.
- Was just thinkin' I might head to a poetry slam later. It's an underground thing, pretty low-key. You can come if you want. But remember, if you like something, the accepted practice is to snap your fingers. Unless you can't, in which case... Just do what I do and pretend like nothing impresses you ever.
- I had one of my weird night terrors again. This time it was a giant marshmallow trying to eat me. And... I kind of liked it. What do you think it means?
- I hate when people are all, "Does this shade of black match this other shade of black?" Like, black is literally the absence of light. If you're THAT worried about it, just close your eyes! Tada, nothing changes!
- One of my professors absolutely INSISTS on mispronouncing "Bildungsroman". It used to drive me crazy, but learning to let things go has been a real theme in my own personal coming-of-age experience.
Gift
[edit | edit source]- But what does it mean?
Poke
[edit | edit source]- That feels strange. But nice. Like the mournful caress of a ghost. Reminds me of this time I was using my spirit board and I felt these unseen hands and... Well, you know how one thing leads to another. We ended up making pottery!
Upgrade to Crush
[edit | edit source]- How's that rhyme go? One for sorrow, two for joy... I mean, it checks out. I was kind of a wreck on my own, but since we've been hanging out, I guess I feel pretty joyful.
- Huh. Jooooyyyfull. That word tastes weird in my mouth hole.

Talk
[edit | edit source]- I'm really good at chess. Like, really good. So when the time comes, I plan on challenging the grim reaper to a game of blackjack.
- I'm craving a PB & J, but I don't have any peanut butter. This is like the worst thing that's ever happened in the history of terrible things, and I wish I'd never been born. I'll be in my room, sulking for a minimum of three hours. Farewell.
- The moon. Alone in a swathe of darkness, silvery cold, so beautiful and strangely sad... Is it just me, or does it look a bit like a marshmallow puff tonight?
- Soo... Wanna go make out in an old cemetery or something?
- Yeah, I know sleeping too little has a negative effect on my well-being. What, are you gonna start, like, I dunno... Reading to me in that calming voice of yours in an effort to help me drift off into a healthy REM cycle...? I mean, it's not like I could stop you, even if I wanted to...
Gift
[edit | edit source]- Where is the value in a gift? Is it in the essence of the object itself? In what it cost? Or is it the thought that counts? If such a thing as a "thought" can have any inherent value at all... Huh, I'll probably be up all night contemplating this.
Poke
[edit | edit source]- Ahaha, how ominous. I wonder what your intentions are?
Upgrade to Lover
[edit | edit source]- Oh look, it's my favorite dream. Hmm? You're really here this time? Oh, that's so great...
- *Yawn* Sorry if I seem a bit slow. I'm probably sleep deprived from staying up all night thinking about you.
- [With 'Transformation' picture] Poe gazes longingly into your eyes, twining his fingers in yours. "Not kissing you is torment," he murmurs, leaning closer. As his mouth meets yours, a magical explosion occurs! The great literary tradition of True Love's Kiss has been upheld, and the curse is broken.
- [With 'Lover' Picture] "I finally understand why so many poems are about love. I think every poem I write for the rest of my life might be about you." Love, Poe

[edit | edit source]- The sparkling still taunts me. Only now, it's the sparkling of your eyes...
- Shall I compare thee to a summer's day? No, but to the longest winter's night - The only thing that provides me a sense of belonging.
- Sometimes I wish I was still a bird, if only so I could fly up into the sky and bring you back a star...
- You're my everything. And if we get to grow into cute old people together, I'll die happy. But if you decide to leave me, then I'll die of heartbreak and become the tragic literary-esque figure I always dreamed of being. So either way, I'm cool with it.
- I've never been afraid to die. But because of you, I'm no longer afraid to keep living.
- (Naked) Oh, hey. I'm just hanging out, trying to catch a deathly chill.
- (Naked) Yep. I've got piercings now. You're welcome.
- (Naked) I like to do my thinking in the nude. But I'm sure that comes as no surprise to you.
Talk
[edit | edit source]- I hear there's a storm in the forecast. I was thinking we could go for a late-night drive through the countryside... Maybe we'll run out of gas and have to go spend the night in a creepy old castle on a hill or something.
- I hope I get to meet my Doppelganger someday. They say it's a bad omen and stuff, but I mean how cool would that be?
- I would fight an eldritch abomination for you. I'd probably lose. But then I'd haunt you forever because I love you so much.
- It's official. The road I walk isn't lonely anymore.
- Should I get a haircut? I've heard good things about that barber shop on Fleet Street.
- I'm so goth I got kicked out of Hawt Subject for bringing down the vibe.
- I adore you. And it's not just a phase. Gawd.
- I still can't believe I transformed myself into a magpie. That was super Kafkaesque. But then you saved me, and that was more like a rom com. Not sure how I feel about that, but either way... Thanks.
- Sorry for staring. You're just so beautiful... Like a marble sculpture, or my favorite word, or rain on the sea... Don't roll your eyes, you knew I was into poetry.
- You rule my roost. What? Not every declaration of adoration needs to be so completely verbose and grandiloquent. Lawl.
- I'm thinking about getting a heart tattoo with your name on it. But like, an anatomical heart. Just for the irony. Because iron is an important component of blood, and blood is an important component of you.
- My favorite color is checkerboard. Ha, you thought it was going to be something else, didn't you?
- Turns out that whole thing about magpies being thieves and liking shiny stuff is a myth. So... There goes my excuse, I guess. I'll have to go back to buying my trinkets and baubles online like a respectable person. Ugh.
- (Naked) So where do you think I should put my next tattoo? I'm thinking either my forearm, my chest, or my left buttock. Any preference?
- (Naked) I ache to be defiled, my beautiful moonchild, so elegant and wild, I saw you and I smiled... Oh, hey. I just brainstorming out loud.
- (Naked) Skyclad is the best clad.
- (Naked) Are you an abyss? Because I'd love it if you swallowed me whole right now.
- (Naked) I just finished reading this totally unhinged novel filled with monastic debauchery, cosmic horror, and the most depraved characters imaginable. So yeah, to say it made me horny is an understatement.
- (Naked) Life is hard. And so am I.
- (Naked) Like a good poem, there's more to me than meets the eye. So go ahead. Study me. What's your interpretation?
- (Naked) Remember when I said I didn't have a lot of romantic experience? Yeah, so that includes... This. Would you enlightenment me?
- (Naked) This is comfy. Unlike participating in mainstream society, which is a constant struggle.
Poke
[edit | edit source]- What's with that mischievous smile? Oh! Ahaha! Aha!
- Ohoho no, don't you dare. I can't think straight when you touch me like that! Aww, so much for the poem I was writing in my head.
- Is that the cold hand of death I feel? Oh, it's just you... Haha! I'm only teasing. Come here!
- (Naked) Ahaha, that's nice. Carry on...
- (Naked) Mmmm. Hurts so good.
- (Naked) You're weird. And that's a turn-on.
- (Naked) I might still have a few feathers laying around, if you wanted to try tickling me with those...
Gift
[edit | edit source]- You really get me. Like no one else ever could. Thank you - I really, really love it.
- Stop spoiling me. You're making it hard to feel sorry for myself.
- You really didn't have to go to all this trouble. Next time, just give me a copy of your favorite book - with your most-loved passages underlined, and your musings written in the margins.
- Time is the only thing we can ever own... And it's the only thing l'll ever need from you.
- [Boxers] What do you think? Am I an adorable little ray of pitch black or what?
- [Birthday Suit] I hope to leave this world the same way I came into it. Nude and screaming
- [Spooky Outfit] I decided to dress up as a mime. It's perfect - I'm so pale I don't even need to buy white face paint, and if we go to a party, I have the perfect excuse not to talk to anyone!
- [Butler Outfit] I am going to pay so much attention to you. Probably too much. So this is just like every other day, haha.
- [Masquerade Outfit] Wearing a mask makes me feel like I can truly be myself. But maybe that's how everyone feels? Sometimes it's hard to tell which experiences are purely "Poe" and which are just part of regular ol' human condition.
- [Kigurumi Outfit] This is dumb. These spikes aren't even spikey. They're friggen'... Smooshy! Ugh. Smooshy... hehe. Smoosh smoosh smoosh... AH! I didn't know you were still here!
- [Summer Outfit] Uuugh why is it so hot out? I'm sweating my eyeliner off over here. You know what, I'm gonna go find a shady spot in the woods to hang out... Maybe throw myself into a creek in an effort to escape my own descent into unfettered madness. Wanna come?
- [RPG Outfit] Pssst. Wanna do a morally-questionable side quest with me? There's this village that needs rescuing from the clutches of a bloodthirsty phantom, BUT - if we help the phantom instead we could get ourselves some sweet demonic powers in return. Thoughts?
- [Kimono Outfit] Is this my burial shroud? Can it be? I'm going to say the answer is yes.
- [Pirate Outfit] Alone, alone, all, all alone, alone on a wide wide sea... I pity the ancient Mariner. Will you come sit in the crow's nest with me?
Upgrade to Lover+ (Endless)
[edit | edit source]- Ugh. This is the epitome of a sappy romance. I kind of hate it, but at the same time I totally adore you, so it evens out.
- It's you and me versus the world, yeah?
Date Dialogue
[edit | edit source]Animal Version (Adversary to Friendzone)
[edit | edit source]- [Dinner] It's not the first time someone's told me I eat like a bird. Usually it's a simile, but I guess this time it was just a factual observation.
- [Boat Ride] Wow, an adorable pink flamingo boat. That's not at all ostentatious, I wonder why nobody wants to ride around in an ostrich? Oh riiiight, it's because people prefer birds that are perky, glamorous, and widely celebrated in the media...
- [Coaster] I wasn't screaming. I was imitating the screams of everyone else on the ride. Honestly, magpies are excellent mimics. Look it up!
- [Carnival] So it turns out carnivals are kind of great when you're a bird. There was so much free food on the ground! And did you see those people's faces when I pretended to be part of the spooky ride? Hahaha!
Hybrid/Human Version (Awkward Besties to Lover)
[edit | edit source]- [Dinner] Hey. What does a vegan emo eat? Melancholy flower. Melon...cauliflower. Yeah, I told you I was a lost cause.
- [Boat Ride] That was... an afternoon. Now, imagine if we did the same thing, but at night. And if the cutesie boat was a creaky raft instead, and we were being ferried by a mysterious cloaked figure. Now that would be something to write about!
- [Rollercoaster] That drop was intense. I was straight up mentally preparing for death's embrace. But the actual odds are about 1 in 750 million, so we'd have to go on that date like... A lot more times. I think. Is that how statistics work?
- [Haunted House] I'm going to tell you this right now. I would give anything - ANYTHING - to live in a haunted house. When can we go back?
Unlocked at Lover Level
[edit | edit source]- [Masquerade] The danse macabre unites us all. But tonight, it's you and I who'll be as one.
Dialogue about Cole
[edit | edit source]- They say don't judge a book by its cover, but, like, if the book is moldy and on fire - there's a problem.
- Cole has a terrible secret. I just know it. Everything about him just screams "Byronic hero."
- Cole seems like someone I might want to be friends with, if it wasn't for the constant shade he throws. Jeez, what'd I ever do to him?
- Advice from beyond the grave is probably trustworthy, right? Okay, so an apparition of a skeleton came to me last night and warned me to stay away from Cole. It might have been a dream, but like... It also might not have been.
- The eyes of that painting over there... Do they seem to be following us?
- Someone wrote "I will end your life" in red paint on the wall in my dorm. Joke's on them - I don't have a life. Ha!

Trivia
[edit | edit source]- It's unclear how Poe first manages to get your number (and somehow mistakes you for Sirina).
- Poe's name and parts of his dialogue reference famous writer/poet Edgar Allen Poe, author of 'The Raven', among other works.
- Poe's name was originally "Serral" before Trash Panda/OjiPanda changed his name several hours after his debut in Beta.
- The meaning of life being 42 references The Hitchhiker's Guide to the Galaxy.
- "Sweet dreams are made of these; who had a mind to disagree?" is a misquotation of the Eurythmics song 'Sweet Dreams (Are Made of This)'.
- Along with Ferris, Poe is one of two guys with visible earrings.
- His line "Why is a raven like a writing desk?" is a line from the Hatter in the book, Alice's Adventures in Wonderland.
- His Achievements are (almost) all related to real books such as Brave New World and 50 Shades of Grey.
- His dialogue about a barber from Fleet Street is a reference to the play Sweeney Todd.
- The "cursed free soup" tree stump from the intro is likely a reference to a Tumblr post.
- "It's official. The road I walk isn't lonely anymore." is a reference to Boulevard of Broken Dreams by Green Day.
- "There sure are a lot of weirdos around here. That's cool though. I myself am strange and unusual." The last sentence of this line is a direct quote from Beetlejuice's Lydia Deetz.
- His birthday is a reference to Edgar Allan Poe's date of death: October 7, 1849.
- His gift preference for watches is likely due to the fact that birds like shiny objects.
- His full name is Poe Smith, revealed in a book titled "My Life As A Magpie by Poe Smith" in Sad Panda Studio's Soul Mates.
Speculation
[edit | edit source]- Poe's English teacher is possibly Miss Desirée – a science teacher whose third photo indicates she's teaching English.
- His original name, Serral, is possibly a reference to Saeran from Mystic Messenger.

This is Poe. He is not very self aware.

It’s still a joke, and here’s the butt.
