A few days ago we noticed we were getting veeeery close to having 100 people watching the comm. (YAY!) So we thought we'd write you all a little drabble (100 followers, 100 words, geddit?) in thanks when we'd cross that threshold.
So, um, we now have exactly 100 followers (not counting our own identities), and, well, you know our issues with word counts?
So here's what happened to our little drabble, which is sort of a quadrabble, to commemorate the '100 followers!' moment. :-) Consider it a little thank you note.
Word(s) Count(s)
"100 people are following my twitter now," Jin says.
Kame is unimpressed. "Jaejoong has 13,463 followers."
"Yeah, but he's tweeting under his own name, I'm coolyellowdude84!"
Kame frowns at Jin's avatar, which shows someone's middle finger. "So what do you tweet about?"
"All sorts of stuff." Jin shrugs, scrolling down the page. "Pictures of Tokyo sights." When Kame peers at him critically, he pouts. "I go loads of cool places."
Kame remembers Jin's last cell phone pictures. They were of people's feet in some fuzzy night club. "Uh-huh."
"Grrrl_brrrns likes my Tokyo tweets," Jin says, pointing. "She's in London. And StoopNoob likes the food stuff."
"Lovelassie, is that Pi?"
Jin sighs. "He thought PinkSenorita was too suspicious."
Pi, apparently, posts pictures of his dogs. Jin says that's okay, because of the low recognition factor.
"Hm," Kame says. "How long did it take you to get that many followers?" He finds it interesting. Merely interesting.
Jin's grin gets annoyingly wide. "Couple of weeks at most," he says. "Why, think you could do better?"
=-=-=
"Pradavictim," Jin says. "SappySamurai. Lipstickturtle."
"Are you ever going to shut up about that?" Kame says. He's putting up with Jin's weird inspiration because he's not getting any of his own. Jin laughed a lot about Baseballfan.
"Coffinboy."
"People will think I'm that sparkly vampire guy."
Jin blinks at him. "You were a sparkly vampire guy."
"Never mind," Kame says quickly. "I just think it would give me an unfair advantage." He feels vindicated when Jin looks like he's considering that point seriously.
"Darkroomdweller."
Now Kame blinks. He's fairly sure Jin's thinking of photography; he really hopes so.
"That might give people the wrong impression," he says while his ears turn pink. He glowers at the screen and doesn't ask how long it took Jin to come up with an acceptable online alias. It can't be that hard.
=-=-=
Jin is still giggling annoyingly when he hits send.
@lovelassie, chck out nu meat RT @iluvmydog1582 Hello! I'm new here, how are you doing? Nice to meet you. (^-^;)v
"It's common," Kame defends himself. "Inconspicuous."
"Yeah, you and 1581 other people," Jin says, hitting refresh twice in three seconds. "But, seriously, if you start with the dog pictures, too, I'm unfollowing you!"
Kame makes a sad face, which as always makes Jin scramble and recant, even when he knows it's just an act.
"I should call you Hairylegs," Jin sulks when they have made up sufficiently.
"I couldn't exactly be iluvcoolyellowdude84," Kame says, kissing Jin on the nose. "Now go introduce me to the rest of your friends."
END
ALSO! The first five people who comment with a prompt -- a word, a picture, an icon-as-prompt -- will get an actual drabble. If you want one. If you just comment to say 'yo, I'm hanging out here, just saying hi!', you don't have to get a drabble. *g*
Caveat: nothing in the Deep Water universe. It's too young for that. :-)

Date: 2011-03-27 06:58 pm (UTC)Jo sekritly suspects Kame would get very impatient with Twitter because everybody is so unfocused. And coolyellowdude84 would get into flamewars when people are mean to iluvmydog1582, and there would be a TV drama about it, srsly. (Solo thinks she may be projecting and that we can use the account names during the next great trending project...)
We're happy you liked it even though nobody is holding anybody down and trying to tie them up. ♥

Date: 2011-03-28 01:08 am (UTC)well yeah i mean, I was like why are people getting tied up with twitter instead of just getting tied up BUT OH WELL, I'LL TAKE WHAT I CAN GET :B
