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!

Hey, that's kind of mean ...

[ She means yours. She can't say much about her own. ]

[naives]

[She's not so sure about yours either. Not something she really wishes to be affiliated with despite it also being very true.]

It makes me wonder what sort of amusement one gets out of this.

[ofthefullmoon]

[ Exactly why she really doesn't have much to say about it! Other her, you understand her so well. ]

I wonder that, myself. I also have to wonder if there is anything we could do about it ...

[naives]

I'm not entirely sure if there is.

[Huff huff, no not giving up.]

Perhaps there is a way!

[ofthefullmoon]

[ Right! There must be a way! ]

There must be a way! It is just waiting for us to find it!

[ Two Estelles, one mission: give themselves better online usernames. CAN THEY DO IT? ]

[second_star]

For the record, these both fit. And you're both stuck with them.

Enjoy.

[sacredpenance]

No, don't let them be stuck with them. I'm sure there are more kind usernames one could use for them!

[Too bad I've perverted yours to kingdom come, Estelle.]

[second_star]

You're not really in a position to say anything...

[sacredpenance]

I don't see anything wrong with mine.

[You're so cute, Estelle... and naive.]

[second_star]

Yeah, we should probably keep it that way. [ He's not explaining. ]

[sacredpenance]

Hmm?

[I could make a terrible joke here, but I shall refrain.]

[second_star]

Don't mind me, your highness, just being a good citizen over here.

well hi there. c:

[ofthefullmoon]

I ... I-I'm well aware of how fitting they are, Yuri! We can still try to think of a way to make better names for ourselves, though, right?

[ Awww, you made her all pouty, Yuri. :( ]

Yo~

[second_star]

Well yeah. Here, I'll help.

The possibilities are endless.

fancy meetin' you here ~

[ofthefullmoon]

[ Yeaaaaah, that pout's not gettin' any better. ]

Those are just as mean, Yuri.

[ Though she can't deny any of them are of the utmost truth. What is Estelle's liiiiiife. ]

I know, right?

[second_star]

yourmeanyuri is another good one. See? You're getting the hang of it.

right!

[ofthefullmoon]

[ FKNGKRNGKNRG YURI. She's a trite bit irritated, and she shows it in a sigh ... but she says nothing more about it. ]

But even if we wanted to use those names, the fact still remains that we are currently unable to choose our own. Which, of course, is why we have decided that we will find the person responsible for them, and talk to them nicely about it.

[ Because obviously that is going to make a difference. She seems confident in that, at least. ]

Now, we just need to find out who they are, and where to find them! That shouldn't be too difficult, right?

[second_star]

I have a feeling that's not how things work with muns, Estelle. Try not to get lost trying to find them.

[naives]

I wonder what we must do, then? I'm sure if we were given these names, then we simply must go through the process that whomever gave us these names over again!

[She makes it sound so simple.]

Perhaps we create a new name?

[ofthefullmoon]

Perhaps we could ... We were given these names when we were signed up for this service, however. There is the possibility of creating several more accounts until we have a name we enjoy more, however ... that would be inconvenient, wouldn't it? Not to mention we would have several unused accounts, and that wouldn't be fair at all.

If only there were some way we could find out who is giving these names to us ...

[naives]

Yes, that would be rather inconvenient, and the fact that we would be guilty of 'hoarding usernames', I wouldn't want to imagine what kind of punishment we would receive.

Though if we could find out who was giving such names to us, that would help a lot. Perhaps something could be done to either delete this name or even change it!

[Row row, fight da powah!]

[ofthefullmoon]

So then, it's agreed! We will find the one who is giving us these names, and make our case. I'm certain that if we are nice enough, we will be successful!

[ They have a plan now! Shall we high five on it? ]

[naives]

I'm certain of it as well!

[Because kindness always wins. Huzzah, high fives!]

[ofthefullmoon]

[ 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?

[naives]

I honestly have no clue. Perhaps if we waved, then would be able to see us and we could have a civil conversation with them?
