⇥ 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.

feelingasterous: Kori, that's, like, eight cups.

sun_princess: It is? That's a lot.

feelingasterous: Yeah. Are you feeling okay? It's a lot of caffeine.

sun_princess: Yes, just very awake. I'm not tired at all.

feelingasterous: Yeah, caffeine will do that to you.
feelingasterous: Haven't had coffee before?

sun_princess: Yeah I have. Just mainly in the morning.
sun_princess: I guess Donna will have to keep the coffee away from me next time she goes it.

feelingasterous: She doesn't like people drinking her coffee?

sun_princess: She doesn't mind. I meant so I won't drink that much at one time again.
sun_princess: Since I will probably be up all night now.

feelingasterous: But think of all the things you can get done.
feelingasterous: Or all the bad TV you can watch.

sun_princess: Oh. There is a lot. Everyone would be asleep.
sun_princess: Or I could get stuff done while I watch bad TV!

feelingasterous: That sounds like the best of both worlds.

sun_princess: It sounds like it too. The most amusing shows are on late.
sun_princess: Until they turn into, I think Vic called them info-mercials?

feelingasterous: Infomercials, yeah.
feelingasterous: IDK I find it funny to watch guys cut dictionaries in half with kitchen knives.

sun_princess: Oh, those ones are funny. Like chainsaws that they say are so precise they can cut jigsaw puzzles.

feelingasterous: Who comes up with these demonstrations anyway?
feelingasterous: It just gives people stupid ideas about what chainsaws can do.

sun_princess: It does.
sun_princess: It's amusing, but I wouldn't do that with a chainsaw.

feelingasterous: Good call.
feelingasterous: I wonder if I could get paid for coming up with stupid ways to test something.

sun_princess: Maybe. That would be an interesting job to come up with those.
sun_princess: "It can dice a tomato, but is also tough enough to cut through a tire"

feelingasterous: As flexible as rubber.
feelingasterous: But tough enough to be run over by twenty garbage trucks.

sun_princess: These things humans have to do to prove that something is good. It's so strange.

feelingasterous: We're a strange species, that's for sure.

sun_princess: At least some humans are.
sun_princess: Not all of them. :)

feelingasterous: I'm not exactly normal as far as humans are concerned.
feelingasterous: Most people don't wear capes and a mask and bound off of rooftops for great justice.

sun_princess: No you aren't, but that's okay.
sun_princess: It's more fun than just walking around.

feelingasterous: Exactly!
feelingasterous: Why walk when you can swing?
