"Are you planning to stop coming here?"

My friend, who is a fellow Nuffian, asked.

"No? Why do you ask?"

"I didn't see you there recently and you said that you're too busy irl, so I thought pethaps you'd like to move on."

"I'm really busy irl, but I guess I'll keep finding time to come here." I replied with a grinning blob.

"Well, in case you decide to leave, can you hand your account over to me? I'll just add it to my rp accounts." Promptly came the reply with a smirk (of course, another funny blob)!

I replied with a :blob_thor: and laughed heartily. But this DM just reminded me how transient our online identities could be. I had once compared our relationship with our NUF user accounts with that of a hermit crab and its shell. Just like a shell, a user account is an empty place. A hermit crab may live inside it for some time and then may decide to leave. Then another hermit crab may choose to live in that same shell and the process can go on. Who will notice the difference? If a user never chooses to make close friends online and uses the account only for rp, then no one will ever notice it.

I'm personally attached to this account, so if I ever leave, this account will just go dead. But I've come across users who come here just for rp and not any kind of serious attachment. If they ever become the object of someone's personal affection they just ignore it and move on.

Not that I blame them for it. Each to his or her own path in life. Respecting that personal space is what growing up is:LOL:

      Haha Nyan @Nyan sempai, they didn't mean anything rude. We talk a lot in Disc and perhaps I can call us buddies? Idk though.
      I suppose they meant real time rp. Haha

      :blobhyperthink::blobhyperthink::blobhyperthink::blobhyperthink::blobhyperthink::blobhyperthink: *lists the users I know*.... There are too many...

      But why would they PM you of all people... You hardly seem like a rper... :blob_thor: I would have reported them if they dared say such stuff to Nyan!!!

      (But ofc I don't mean you should do it as well lol)

      *Huggles Forest San* Some dumb rper can never replace the Forest san I know ...

      @villainess, your reply is a living proof of what you say:blob_grin:

      *hugs back*

      I do think more people might notice than you think.

      and some people are more affectionate than they show.

      so maybe in some circumstances it might be a little to early to let go.

      actually what I want to say is that they might miss you more than you know.

      x3
