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!

Oh...okay. But I still don't really understand. Keyprise, what's it even supposed to mean?

Affirmative. You do not seem to be a horny killer queen.

[second_star]

Glad I don't.

[ex_maebara873]

Ufufufu. Clearly you aren't aware of just who you're talking to.

I'm the one and only Magician of Words, Keiichi Maebara! To put me on the same level as a peasant is like signing your own death warrant!!

Kyahahaha!! It's a joke, it's a joke! Misaka finds it really clever!

[naives]

Would we have to call out to them, then? This is perhaps more complicated than what we thought.

Well yes, I suppose it fits, and I have no complaints. But it's hardly clever enough!

I... [She's stammering now.] I thought that was rather elegant and dignified for a hero of your standing.

I think I'm gonna need an insurance policy on that promise.

[spiria]

Mine could have been better, but I'll live with it.

... You really don't get it?

[saudadist]

Shut up.

[bestevolving]

A little party, huh?

I don't think that will get us better usernames.

[ Just think of all the good times they could have together... ]

[glassworkgenius]

Right! And I know Tenma, he wouldn't whisper; he would talk normally to soccer! Or even loudly!

[keyprise]

[ ugh. DO I HAVE TO EXPLAIN EVERYTHING TO YOU. GOD, VENTUS WAS SMARTER. WHAT THE HELL EVEN HAPPENED IN THOSE TEN YEARS? GOSH, SORA. ]

If you don't get it, then I guess you're too stupid to not see it.

[maskedhumanity]

Just calling it as I see it.

[ Blink, well okay. ]

Brilliant observation.
