deal with it, rock

[hippopotamus]

You know, just because a username that would be good for me isn't taken, doesn't mean that it's a good idea to take it. Especially if you already have a username for me.

You're never going to let me live this joke down, are you..

[Ha ha. That's all Barrett has to say about this subject RockHippopotamus.]

[hippopotamus]

[ Yeah, Rock should've seen this coming.. ]

[brightestbat]

[But he didn't, did he?]

[hippopotamus]

[ Just. Get out. ]

[brightestbat]

[nope.avi]

Problem, Hippopotamus?

[hippopotamus]

I don't think it's funny.

[ This is what karma feels like, Rock. This is why you don't take advantage of gullible NPCs. ]

[brightestbat]

You should've thought of that before telling folks your name is Hippopotamus.

[Barrett has no trouble being a helper of karma, in fact he'll enjoy that duty.]

[hippopotamus]

I-It's not even my fault!!

[brightestbat]

But you did it, don't deny it!

[hippopotamus]

My mun made me.

[ Which clearly doesn't count. ]

[brightestbat]

Now you're just shirking the responsibility.

[Barrett does not approve]

L-Look, I didn't think they'd believe me! I honestly was just trying to make an innocent joke!

[brightestbat]

Uh-huh.

[This is his "not believing that crap" face.]

[hippopotamus]

I'm serious!

[brightestbat]

[Yeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeah.

Nope.avi]

[hippopotamus]

[brightestbat]

[sucks to be you, Rock.]

[trap_phantasm]

[...Mega Men.

She's not sure if she wants to know.]

[hippopotamus]

[ She's probably better off this way. ]

[trap_phantasm]

[But then again, the blue ones are so fun to mock--]

...Why are you named after such an organism...

[hippopotamus]

I-It's... there's a joke in one of my games. Where you can.. introduce me as "Hippopotamus".

... My mun does it every time.

[trap_phantasm]

... [Could that be a smile?]

I fail to detect a resemblance deserving of the introduction...

However... it's a shame it did not carry on to the other Mega Men...~

[hippopotamus]

Y-Yeah, I don't really get it either...

[ Wait wait wait back it up ]

... W-Wait, what other Mega Men?

[trap_phantasm]

...In a reality far away... or perhaps not... Chosen Ones with powers much like yours have been fighting...

[hippopotamus]

F-Fighting for what?

[trap_phantasm]

The power to change the world...

[hippopotamus]

Huh... this must be really important to them then, right?

[trap_phantasm]

All Mega Men have... their own cause to fight for...

Some desire peace... others, justice... or a new world altogether...

However, in the end... only one may have what they truly desire...

[hippopotamus]

It must be sad though, to have to fight.

[trap_phantasm]

[She nods, though she doesn't look too concerned with it herself. Or capable of much emotion to begin with]

Many have been lost... in turning the wheel of fate...

[terraformagica]

It sounds really cute!

[ possibly not what he wants to hear ]

[hippopotamus]

Um... t-thanks?

[ Okay that's kind of a first. ]

[terraformagica]

You're welcome! And it's even one letter shorter than my username, so it's not unmanageable.

[hippopotamus]

W-Well, the length of it isn't.. really the problem...

[terraformagica]

It isn't?

[hippopotamus]

I-It's just-- It's supposed to be a joke from back home...

[terraformagica]

Oh! Then it's good that you have a memento, right?

[moodmaker]

Face it, you could have been given a username far worse.

[Be thankful Hippopotamus has an adorable ring.]

[hippopotamus]

I-I don't.. really doubt that. But this is still kind of embarrassing...

[moodmaker]

You'll grow use to it in no time, I'm sure.

[lareina]

My mun says you remind her of an old RP buddy.

[hippopotamus]

Really? [ Blink. ] Who?

[lareina]

She's laughing. She just checked your profile and she's all, "YES IT'S HIM I KNEW IT, THERE CAN BE NO OTHER ROCK." Or something like that. She's being incoherent.

Mun's name is Kazie, if that rings any bells to your mun?

[hippopotamus]

Oh! He remembers her, yeah! He actually got really excited just now!

[lareina]

She actually just got back to having an online life - something about RL being terrible (which was) and conveniently going on hiatus to straighten things out. And by "got back" I mean just this week. She'd heard about the migration and now she's finally here. With me. But you know her, she grows muses every day like a garden.

... That was a compliment, mun.

Anyway! Hi. I'm Nausy.
