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. ;)

I...was not telling you to do so.

Oh.

Well... good, because maybe I don't feel like it yet.

It is a strange username. Unusual.

It's a stupid username, it has nothing to do with me at all.

Perhaps you can change it to something more suitable to your liking?

If I could just change it, I would've done that already.

[ She goes quiet a moment to think on what to do. ]

Perhaps your hacking skills are not of the caliber needed to change it. I could perform such a task if you wish.

... Wait, can you actually do that?

Yes, my professor taught me much about hacking. It might take a few minutes, but it can surely be done.

[ Provided this thing isn't built like the Moon Cell, i.e. indestructible. ]

Seriously? Well go ahead if you think it'll work, this name is just plain stupid. Anything would be better than this.

[tempting fate]

Very well.

[ Commence chanting!

...is that an earthquake? That can't be any kind of good. ]

... Is that supposed to happen?

I believe it is a reaction based on the firewalls put in place. This might not turn out as I had hoped.

Since when does trying to hack a firewall do that? What the hell are you doing?

[ That's a good question, Haseo. ]

Ceasing attempts. Repercussions would result in too much collateral.
