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. ;)

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? ]

I'm certain of it as well!

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

[ 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?

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?

I'm ... not so sure about that. Do you really think this person is close enough to see such a thing, or do you think they would operate more behind the scenes?

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

It may be difficult, yes, but we can do it! No matter how difficult it is, we just can't give up! This is a matter of our identities!

Yes, you're absolutely right! There must be a way, and we will find it!

That's the attitude we need to keep! Now, we must think about this from all angles!

...

... Admittedly, this could take some time, if we want to plan it out thoroughly.

If only we were capable of reaching that button to create a new name ourselves.

[If only! But they're down here and it's up there! ~~And what is the 4th wall?~~]

I know! Maybe Ba'ul could give us a hand! Do you think Judith and Ba'ul would mind if he gives us some help?

I'm rather sure they would assist us if we asked. However we need to find them first. Perhaps they're here somewhere!

Yes! Shall we search for them?

Yes, let's do just that.

[Now where to find them...]
