the ONLINE CORRESPONDENCE meme

Our characters are best friends, close acquaintances, or even lovers! But there's a catch...they've never met in person! Be it skype, AIM, plurk, livejournal...they know each other only through the internet and that's the only way they are able to talk. Some might say internet friends aren't real, sometimes the distance hurts, but you wouldn't give them up for anything in the world. Post your characters below, roll a scenario, and start that video call!

1. A/S/L? - You've only just met and are working through that awkward phase of getting to know each other.

2. Tough times - It's late at night and you can't stop crying...they're the only one you can turn to. You only hope they're actually there.

3. Video date - It's the weekend and you want nothing more than to spend the night with the one dearest to you...by which you mean booting up Skype and starting a video call.

4. Where have you been? - They've been AFK for a long time and you were almost worried they'd forgotten about you...or worse, something went wrong.

5. Closing the distance - You've known each other for years, the cards are looking good, and you want to pop the big question...do you want to meet?

6. I wanted it to be you! - You never knew specifics about them, and never knew until now that they were somebody you already knew in person. What an unexpected surprise!

MorningWoods: No, but considering your conversation partner I thought it'd be a helpful clarification.

ClosedButtercup: True enough, I suppose. He did have a lot of stories about the places he's been, though.

ClosedButtercup: How did you meet him?

MorningWoods: Actually, one of my other friends put me in touch with him, while I was studying his particular kind of magic. We had a few good talks, I got some great notes, parted as friends.

ClosedButtercup: Oh, that's good. He does seem really nice. I hope I'll get to see him and Ember more too.

MorningWoods: Yeah, Trym's awesome. Can't go wrong with that guy.

ClosedButtercup: Yeah. Hopefully you'll get to meet Ember sometime, too. She's really interesting.

ClosedButtercup: So how much longer will you be away?

MorningWoods: I hope so! I'd like to.

I'll be away for a few more days, at least. It's my uncle's birthday Saturday so we're gonna throw a big party. I'll be back after the weekend.
