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!

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.

[sacredpenance]

But... you weren't doing anything wrong?

[Hint number one that something's not right. Luckily, she'll never figure it out.]

[second_star]

You never know. Nine times out of ten, I'll be wanted for something again in another hour.

[sacredpenance]

I highly doubt that.

[second_star]

And that's why you don't get your name.

[sacredpenance]

But there's nothing wrong with my name!

[Going in circles now.

Sobs, her name makes perfect sense!

She's just too innocent to see the amusement her mun has put into it.]

[second_star]

Heh. Never change, Estelle. [ A pat on the head. ] I guess you guys at least have better collective luck than the Lowell brotherhood over there.

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.

[ofthefullmoon]

We will be careful, Yuri. I promise you that!

[ He didn't ask for a promise, but okay, he's getting one. ]

[second_star]

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

[ofthefullmoon]

Huh? Why?

[second_star]

Just in case.

[ofthefullmoon]

That certainly doesn't explain much ...

[second_star]

Just trust me on this one.
