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!

That sounds terrible... those poor dragons, not having a soul to try and understand them!

[Wibble, wibble. If someone like Lord N was around then surely, others would be willing to understand a dragon!!!]

Do you think so? I have no idea why we're called Team Plasma, but I'm sure there's a good reason behind it! ...maybe!

Which leaves me to constitute the Opposition.

[population_ctrl]

It's a step up from what I'm used to, anyway.

[insertworstpuns]

It's the different kind of "screentime"! Ah, whoops. Perhaps Misaka should've said "pages" instead.

[unreadability]

If so, it shouldn't pose a problem for you - to exercise your power in a context where you've been given the mandate!

[population_ctrl]

... what?

[unreadability]

Keep your house in Parliament.

[population_ctrl]

Naturally.

[Chuckle.]

Are you feeling underfoot?

[unreadability]

The population you're controlling doesn't exclude me, Jean Louis.

[population_ctrl]

Harsh.

[unreadability]

Yes, isn't that so?

[population_ctrl]

Sometimes, yes. That's life.

[unreadability]

What we make of it.

[population_ctrl]

True.

Ha ha ha ha ha-- wait, you're serious.

Look, I'm a growing boy. I need donuts. To live. So quit nitpicking and fork 'em over, if you have them.

Never underestimate the power of alliteration.

Dull. Boring. Predictable.

[And completely false, not that he'd ever admit that out loud.]

[dynamic_exit]

It certainly leaves more of an impression. And I kind of always knew I'd be more likely to go out with a bang than a whimper.

They'll be fine, we've dealt with tyrant commandants, global apocalypses, and extremely bad diarrhea.

A trifle uncreative, but to the point, which is certainly something.
