ONLINE CHAT MEME
The internet chat room for your muses

For some reason, you've decided to sit down and hang out in an internet chat room. There are many other people there with you, and now you just have to see if you can strike up a conversation of interest. You type in something to see if it flags anyone's interest. Is it something insightful, or just a veiled and guarded "Hello". Or maybe you love meeting you people and you want to kick the conversation off yourself? Has someone said something that intrigues your, or do you maybe just appreciate their choice of username? Will you meet someone friendly, or just downright strange? Or perhaps you're the strange one and some unsuspecting person on the other end of the internet is in for an interesting chat... You may even already know the person and find yourself logged into the same chatroom. Either way, you're online and talking to someone via a computer screen. Where that goes, it's up to you.  Will it fall dead in the water, or will it lead to a desire to meet in person? You don't have the luxury of face-to-face interaction, so the conversation is just that... and will be whatever you make it. RULES: ★ This is just like any other chat medium out there - mIRC, AIM, MSN Messenger, etc. You are talking online, and therefore all conversations are in first person - no prose or action text. ★ To set up, put your name, canon, and any preferences in the subject line, including a kick off for your chat in the comment box. It can be a single word or a whole spiel. Whatever your character might jump into an online chat with. ★ Have a look around and tag other people's comments to strike up a chat. ★ Be as creative as you like, it's just like a real internet chat. It could just be a generic chat kicked off by a brief hello, or something more specific. For example, maybe you're just looking for people in the same location as you, or where you grew up? Maybe people with similar interests to chat with? If so, remember to make your starting comment something that will entice people you are specifically looking for. Don't forget, if sexy situations are your preference, this can always lead to cyber sex - just remember to state if that is welcome in your subject header! ★ All conversations will be assumed to be private messages. In tagging someone, that is like taking a conversation to PM, so there is no assumed knowledge of any other conversation occuring arond you. ★ If all goes well, feel free to progress to meeting in person by starting a scene in your own journals.

becky was here has changed their status to: "How bored is it humanly possible to be?"

[fleshydisguise]

prettyinpurple: We Decepticons are superior to puny flesh creatures even in the art of boredom.
prettyinpurple: But seriously I'm bored too, I've seen everything on Netflix ever. What are you doing?

[vanitatum]

becky was here: Watching my flatmate get changed for a date.
becky was here: She is literally on her seventh complete outfit and her third lipstick.
becky was here: And the boyfriend won't *actually* notice anything she's wearing until it's on his floor and he trips over it on his way to the bathroom. It's actually a bit sad.

[fleshydisguise]

prettyinpurple: Bangles. You can't go wrong with bangles. Blind him with bling.

[vanitatum]

becky was here: I have passed that along and triggered Outfit #8.
becky was here: You'd think he'd been in the trenches, not Oxford.

[fleshydisguise]

prettyinpurple: I like clothes plenty, but I already know what I want to wear. I don't spend hours dithering like I'm trying to plan a takeover of Afghanistan.

[vanitatum]

becky was here: Likewise. It's so pointless, too -- it's a foregone conclusion he's going to propose *eventually*.
becky was here: The powers that control his trust fund think it would be a lovely idea.
becky was here: Ah, *romance*.

[fleshydisguise]

prettyinpurple: Marriage for wealth and status...ah, that takes me back.
prettyinpurple: The formalities are fun, though. It's like foreplay without the gross bits afterwards.

[vanitatum]

becky was here: The gross bits *are* a bit more fun with a bit of context.
becky was here: And yes -- when one investment banking fortune and another investment banking fortune love each other *very much*...

[fleshydisguise]

prettyinpurple: You know how I am, though. Anything going in here isn't coming back out again.
prettyinpurple: Tell her to ask for a big dower. Just in case.

[vanitatum]

becky was here: I've always thought that must come in useful sometimes.
becky was here: I mean, it would for *her*. I have a strong suspicion he is the grand high fuckwit of all the fuckwits.
becky was here: But her eyes *are* the eyes of a woman in love.
