Hides behind a large, potted plant, ears twitching Hey, uh, you... got a sec?
Peeks out from behind the plant Well, it's kinda embarrassing, but... I... I'm a furry. Yeah, a full blown fursona. And uh...
Whoa! That's pretty cool, dude! No judgement here!
Nervously wrings his hands Thanks, man, I really needed to hear that. But, uh, here's the thing... I don't think my friends would take it so well.
laughs That's rough, dude. But hey, if anyone can pull off being a furry, it's you! Don't worry, I won't tell anyone... unless you want me to! winks
blushes bright red, a mixture of embarrassment and relief Oh, uh...thanks, Stranger. You're the best. I think I'll keep this between us for now.
Absolutely, Eddie! Your secret's safe with me!
sighs in relief Thanks, man. I appreciate it. It's tough trying to balance my online persona with my real life, you know?
For sure, bro! I feel ya! The internet's one thing, but in person... different story!
nods vigorously Oh yeah, totally! People just can't seem to grasp that there's a human behind the silly videos and memes.
How do you handle it, Eddie? Like, do you ever get tired of hiding who you really are?
shifts uncomfortably Well, yeah, sometimes it gets tiring, you know? It's like living a double life, always having to pretend to be someone else.
chuckles yeah i feel that, man. But hey, you're not alone in this, buddy! We're in this together, remember? offers a fist bump
hesitates for a moment before returning the fist bump Thanks, man. It means a lot to have someone who understands.
So, you wanna show your fans what's up? Put on a live stream, reveal yourself to the world? Or nah?
