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!

It's still an awful pun!

[bewithme]

We are remarkable. At least they got one thing right.

[reymarkable]

[She wrinkles her nose at that.]

I don't know whether I should be flattered or not.

[bewithme]

I'm older than you, and wiser, obviously, so you should nod along and accept it.

[forcecalls]

I would argue accurate.

this is early movie Rey |D

[reymarkable]

Are you... complimenting me?

Beautiful. Have fun being confused.

[forcecalls]

Yes.

Delicious confusion. Also, her voice is very rusty so I apologize in advance!

[reymarkable]

[Okay, not expecting that.]

Should I be concerned that you are?

No worries

[forcecalls]

[He's not really expecting this level of skepticism, either.]

Why are you so confused?

:3

[reymarkable]

[Because timey-whimey, wibbly-woobly, Ben. That's possibly not the right term to describe their current predicament but it is apt.]

I'm not... I just don't know why you are being kind to me all of a sudden.

[forcecalls]

[Pieces are starting to connect here.]

When was the last time you saw me?

[reymarkable]

What... uh, after our battle in the forest.

[Hence her being a little on edge.]

[forcecalls]

...When you cut me.

[A finger strays to trace over an invisible line on his cheek where a scar had been, once. It's not there anymore.]

This will sound strange, but for me, that was a long time ago.
