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!

You don't know that. And I wouldn't allow it, anyway. I won't.

I'm tired of people I care about dying, Ben. I don't want to lose you. Not again.

[forcefullyunstable]

Do you? What am I, if I can’t be called a Jedi? A war criminal?

[bewithme]

I know that's not what you want to be. I know you regret it.

[forcefullyunstable]

You know as well as I do that regrets can’t change what happened.

[bewithme]

Your actions can. Come with me.

[forcefullyunstable]

You truly mean that?

[bewithme]

Of course I do. I wouldn’t trick you, Ben.

[forcefullyunstable]

I want to be with you. More than anything.

...but are you prepared to face the consequences of being wrong?

[bewithme]

I'm here. I've been waiting.

Are you prepared to be proven wrong about yourself?

[forcefullyunstable]

... No. I’m not.

I’m afraid of being proven right again.

[bewithme]

You have little faith in yourself.

Let me help you.

[forcefullyunstable]

No, I just have a long history of being proven right.

At least, about that. Not so much in other ways.

[bewithme]

You'll never know unless you try.

[forcefullyunstable]

... for you, I’ll try.

[bewithme]

Thank you.
