⇥ THE IM MEME ⇤



✔ Post your character.

✔ For this, you can either leave your comment blank or post with "[screen name here] has signed on". Feel free to make your screen names as ridiculous or as serious as you'd like.

✔ Either choose one of the options below or roll the RNG to choose for you.

➲
1 ↻ Under the Influence
Whether it's drugs, alcohol or just delirium from sleeplessness, you're out of sorts. What better time to talk to people?

2 ↻ Rant
Something completely pissed you off today. Open up your messenger and vent about it to a friend!

3 ↻ Confession
Have something to say to someone but can't quite work up the courage to tell them face-to-face? This is your prompt.

4 ↻ Secret
Some secrets are easier to type than speak out loud. Maybe you just typed it in the IM window and sent it accidentally, or maybe you've finally worked up the nerve to tell someone something that you've kept to yourself for too long. Either way, there's no time like the present!

5 ↻ BEST. IDEA. EVER.
Whether it was a genuine EUREKA! moment or the product of too much sugar/alcohol/caffeine/what-have-you, you're convinced you just had the GREATEST IDEA IN THE HISTORY OF EVER. Time to share your brilliance with those on your friends list!

6 ↻ Long-distance Smut
Maybe it's one of those nights and you're missing your significant other, but aren't able to communicate with them any other way. Maybe you just hit the "random" button, hoping whoever is on the other end is just as riled up as you are. Or maybe you got the screen name of a willing partner from a "casual encounters" website. Either way, this is your smut prompt!

7 ↻ Argument
Did someone do something so unbelievable that you can't wait until you see them in person to let them have it? Here's your chance!

8 ↻ Gossip
Did you see what Alice was wearing yesterday? Those shoes with that top? What about who Danny brought to the party? Oh, and did you hear the rumor about that girl from the thing? Talk about it all in the relative privacy of your IM window.

9 ↻ I LOLed and Thought of You
You just found something hilarious that reminded you of a particular person. Share and laugh until morning about something only the two of you get.

10 ↻ Free space
Do whatever you want, man! It's a free chat service!

➲

✘ Different fonts and color changes are encouraged. Learn how to do that over here! Rainbow text generator is here and a custom color faded text generator is here (Yahoo IM used to let you do that).

✘ As far as screen names, you can format them to be all one word, give them spaces and proper caps, or even all caps if you want. If it's something like Skype, you can even change your display name at will, so have fun with that!

✘ Both voice and video chat are available for anyone that wants to use them.

✘ There is a possibility that your character is so riled up from rage/nervousness/excitement that they type in the wrong screen name and get a complete stranger.

✘ This IM service also has a random feature, so feel free to try your luck with it.

✘ Be excellent to each other.

sun_princess: It doesn't?
sun_princess: Just joking.
sun_princess: I know it doesn't, but I'm not sure where my first idea was going anymore. It seemed like a good idea at the time ._.

[hackingyoursensors]

feelingasterous: Did it involve catching something?

[escapedprincess]

sun_princess: I think so.
sun_princess: Otherwise that would be just silly.

[hackingyoursensors]

feelingasterous: True.
feelingasterous: Was it an animal or a person?

[escapedprincess]

sun_princess: I think person.
sun_princess: Oh, maybe to help catch criminals!

[hackingyoursensors]

feelingasterous: Makes sense.
feelingasterous: We could fly above Gotham and drop nets on unsuspecting criminals below. :)

[escapedprincess]

sun_princess: Yes! That would work!
sun_princess: It would be an easy way for them to be captured quickly!

[hackingyoursensors]

feelingasterous: I think there might be a flaw or two in that plan.
feelingasterous: Like, nets won't work on Clayface.

[escapedprincess]

sun_princess: Oh that's true...
sun_princess: We'll have to think of something else for someone like that.

[hackingyoursensors]

feelingasterous: Electric net?

[escapedprincess]

sun_princess: Oh that might work.
sun_princess: we'd need different materials for that and a power source, but it should be possible.

[hackingyoursensors]

feelingasterous: We can have custom nets for every bad guy in the world.
feelingasterous: Efficient and smart.

[escapedprincess]

sun_princess: Yes! It would be very helpful!

[hackingyoursensors]

feelingasterous: Somehow I don't see Batman or the League going for this idea, though.

[escapedprincess]

sun_princess: Oh
sun_princess: No, probably not.
sun_princess: That would be a lot of nets.

[hackingyoursensors]

feelingasterous: I don't think that's the problem.

[escapedprincess]

sun_princess: Oh?

[hackingyoursensors]

feelingasterous: They'd probably question the practicality of a net. And worry that we might accidentally catch the wrong person. Dropping an electric net on a normal person wouldn't be good.

[escapedprincess]

sun_princess: That's true. Yes, that would be very bad.

[hackingyoursensors]

feelingasterous: We'll just have to tweak the design.
feelingasterous: Anything else going on where you are?

[escapedprincess]

sun_princess: Yes we will. Maybe we can still control it.
sun_princess: Not much here. Donna is out on a date. The boys are somewhere. Its quiet.

[hackingyoursensors]

feelingasterous: Sounds like a nice, relaxing night.

[escapedprincess]

sun_princess: It is. I think got bored though and drank too much coffee.

[hackingyoursensors]

feelingasterous: How much did you drink?

[escapedprincess]

sun_princess: However much is in one pot.
