the USERNAME meme

Journal names. They're something we all think about, and that we often try to make as fittingly torturous to our characters as possible. Isn't it nice that our characters never have to know they're wandering around with that horrible label attached to them?

...wouldn't it be fun if they did?

RULES

1 Your character is communicating with others through a journal community, just like how we're using them, and they are perfectly aware of that fact. Whether they think that's normal or not is totally up to you.

2 The also know that when they signed on to this community, they were automatically assigned a name that supposedly has something to do with their personality and/or history. They didn't have any say in what that name was going to be, they're just stuck with it.

3 Make a post with your character's reaction to seeing what their own username is. Do they think it fits? Do they hate it with a passion? Are they downright confused?

4 Comment to other people's posts with your character's reactions to everyone else's usernames. If they know the other character, they might have good reason to laugh at them or feel sorry for them. If they don't, this could lead to some pretty interesting first impressions, don't you think?

5 If you want to use a name that's different from your actual journal name, just mark that in your post. No need to create a whole new journal just to make your character's life worse for one meme. ;)

6 PROFIT!

But...

[Mrphl.... she knows there's some hidden meaning now. That much she's caught on to.]

What's wrong with my username?

[And she likes the usernames the 'Lowell Brotherhood' have!

Now, if only she could see her icons, this would be a totally different story.]

[godsholder]

Unless this comes from you, they aren't that meaningful. Think about a good one.

[She nods encouraging him to think and ventures a tiny smile. She knows all of them of course. But she wants to hear his opinion more than people who thought they knew him thousands of years ago.]

[ SURPRISE, SORA. 8D ]

It's stupid and unfunny.

[hopeofzaphias]

Now that we've established that...

Tavern, anyone?

[saudadist]

...like I'd let a skinny little wretch like you near me anyway.

[ex_maebara873]

Look... it's just a story about some girl shacking it up with a vampire. A vampire that-

A. Doesn't dry out in the sun. His skin shines.

B. Is way too emotional for his own good.

C. Basically suffers no drawbacks and has no side effects of being a vampire.

Plus, he's a complete stalker.

[ The sign of victory! Oh wait, they aren't victorious yet. ]

Now comes the hard part! How would we go about searching for this person?

[billiardsplz]

Maybe a little party can help spice things up.

[and he hastily adds in case there are any Silvers lurking around] Their imaginations I mean.

[heartisabattleground]

[NO, THIS ISN'T WHAT HE WANTED FOR A CHRISTMAS PRESENT, SANTA! TAKE IT BACK!]
I still don't get how it's either.

[riastrad_ridire]

...Okay, you're right, this isn't funny. New subject?

[nesthair]

Nope! Most people my age where I'm from are already going off on their own. Parent's don't worry, since we have protection with us.

[secretmagic]

[Oh totally]

You could always have 'merlinshutup' as one too.

[individuate]

Guess I'm the odd one out.

[He's keeping his cool, mostly. Darn it, Xion.]

[seducingurmenz]

[She is all the unsure about the name.]

[ex_maebara873]

[Jesus, the aura he's getting from her.]

Ah c'mon! Don't start straddling the high horse. You're not just speaking to some commoner y'know!

[outsidematters]

But isn't your dad some kind of...

[ Wavy hand gestures. He was gonna say idiot but. That would be too rude even for Ruby. ]

[oursomalink]

I like yours too!

... even if I don't get it.

[butt_accomplice]

I will never let you two live this down.

[inheritedlight]

[ Even if you're not her Sora, you're sure as stubborn as he is. ]

Always the same, huh?

[ She'll giggle. ]

[billiardsplz]

What do you know, I wholeheartedly agree!

[skyboner]

[NO CHISATO NO...]

Not at all! --Wait, why are you taking that out..?!

Misaka #9982 | To Aru Kagaku no Railgun

[trainharder]

"Training harder would not have prevented Misaka from being crushed by a train," Misaka states since whoever assigned her this name was clearly confused by the different definitions of these similar sounding words.

[munajjima]

[ She . . . actually has no beef with her name. ]

Haseo | .hack//G.U.

[betterlogoutand]

... What the hell is that supposed to mean?!

[vigilantic]

Looks like lady luck shone down on you!
