A young girl stands in her bedroom. It just so happens that today, October 5th, is nearly completely inconsequential, as April 1st is her birthday. Though it was thirteen years ago she was given life, it was a few months ago that she was given a placronym and a name, last week she lost the name and the placronym it was engraved on, and only today she resigned herself to not finding it again and having to carve a new one! Well, she'd better get on with it, no use dilly-dallying now. Don't want to come off as a dumb Dora, now do we?
What will the name of this young woman be?

Dora Dumb? Anna Louise? Sarah McCal? April Fool? Dora Dumeas?? Who'ven coming UP withs e these names, anyway?!
...Though you must admit, Sarah McCal does sound oddly appealing.
In any case, there's no two ways around it. You'll just have to go with the name you were given, no matter how bland you may perceive it to be.
Your name is ROXY HARLEY. You have an affinity for MOVIE STARS of DAYS LONG GONE, particularly RUDOLPH VALENTINO. In fact, you love DAYS LONG GONE in general, and can recite whole scenes from movies like THE CABINET OF DR. CALIGARI and NOSFERATU from heart. However, one aspect of your life you KEEP AS MODERN AS YOU CAN--your COMPUTER. After all, you LIVE ON AN ISLAND with your CARETAKER, so it's your only way to keep in touch with your friends. Speaking of keeping in touch with people, your chumhandle is gruntledGnostalgic and you think everything is just the bee's knees!!! T:D
What will you do next?

You look out your window. Nothing much to see here, just the same trees, same bushes, same building, same sky that has greeted you every time you've looked out the window every day of your life. Except--Oh! Someone's in the yard!

Get his attention by calling out to him/her. How can you call out to someone without knowing who they are first?
You look down and see that it's your gardener, Mr. Slick, mowing the lawn.

You wave and call out to him, saying, Hey, Mr. Slick!, but he doesn't respond back. He never does. But that's okay, because you know he heard you! Also because he's one of the only people you've got for company on this island and don't want to risk pissing him off because boom there goes any chance of a one-sided conversation for the better part of the day and most likely the week as well.

Sure thing.
Your name is SPADES SLICK and you are currently QUESTIONING THE LIFE DECISIONS that LED YOU TO THIS POINT, namely, MOWING A LAWN on an ISLAND in the ASSHOLE OF NOWHERE while a BRATTY KID screams at you from ABOVE, and the LAST THING YOU WANT is for someone to BE YOU.
You are NO LONGER MR. SLICK.>Put on the the greatest of plays. Something from the days of yore where your movements enlighten a world. You can't do that...
...but you can put on a puppet show!
This incredibly silly and you enjoy it immensely.

You open up your laptop and the sweet smiling visage of Rudolph Valentino greeting you on your wallpaper immediately makes your day a million times better. Oh, Rudolph. Dear, sweet, precious Rudolph. But your (semi-disturbing) fawning over a dead movie star must come to an end because, lo and behold, you have a message!

You open up Pesterchum and respond to your friend. No doubt they have something interesting to say. Sarcasm intended.
