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. ;)

That's what I'm trying to find out.

[He winces.]

There's a Heartless that's been following me around, but he always takes off before I can get a good look at him. Still, it could be him.

[If that's not horrifying...]

Know what I think you should do? ... Corner him with Kairi.

You know, that's not a bad idea.

[Then he'll have no choice but to stop hiding from 'em.]

We'll have to track him down first, though. And, trust me, he hasn't made it easy.

[Then again, Riku's used to challenges.]

He'd do the same for you.

[So.]

Of course he would. Sora's the biggest sap I know.

[Heh.]

I promised I wouldn't go home without him, and I plan on keeping that promise. If that means dragging him out of the darkness, then so be it; somebody has to keep him out of trouble, anyway.

[Nodding, smiling.]

Home wouldn't be much without him and Kairi. I got a funny feeling she can save him.

Hey, she is one of the princesses. All that light's bound to at least help.

[Plus, Kairi's persistent. She'd probably be able to talk some sense into him for good measure.]

And if it doesn't, you haven't lost anything. See?

[Halfway smiling.]
