I recently found out I used to be Brink (lost that one in a drunken debacle two summers ago). Being dappled was very much a second choice, as was being purple (although I am very fond of purple). I've been multiple colours but was most often blue in the early days.
People have got used to me being dappled (and being purple) and I don't think they'd like it if I changed. As for me, I guess I'm used to it now. Very much like my real-life forename. It's just who I am.
For anyone who didn't know, I was here for a month before I returned as dappled, and I went by the name Frosties. Apologies to anyone who I misled (although I don't think I ever lied outright). Particular apologies to wigsplitz and charli.m, though. I very much liked being Frosties because it had associated imagery (a tiger) and I could have fun with that. There's little associated with dappled and I feel more boring than Frosties was. :/
Lolz I remember the Frosties jokes, and was quite disappointed when that screen name stopped logging on! Did you ever hear someone reference you as "dappled" while in your Frosties guise?
Yeah, people hinted that they knew. Only one person knew for sure, but lots of people suspected and occasionally people made comments.
It was nice to not have to give an intelligent reply all the time and just be a daft tiger running around, flicking his tail about, and saying things are Grrrreat! But slowly I started giving dappled-type answers again so I thought I may as well be dappled again.
Maybe I'll pull on the tiger suit for special occasions. :D
The hell you will. The next time you're getting inside my fur, it'll be because I've killed and eaten you. And you deserve it after the last time when you thought it'd be fun to sneak in via the back passage. :P
Hehe, yes. It was really weird when people I know (like you) said things and I had to pretend I didn't know you (because you didn't know it was me under the tiger suit). :D
I remember seeing the username Brink. It stood out to me because it's the name of my mother's first employer (Dr.Brink) once she returned to the workforce.
I searched for Brink on IIN to see if I could find any of my comments. Or, rather, anyone responding to my comments and including my name in their post. But nope, not a sausage! I must have been pretty unpopular in my first stint on IIN. Then again I probably never said anything which made sense. I only came here after getting home from the pub. :D
That means so much to me. As a matter of fact, I already am, but under a pen name, so as not to feel pressured to deliver such an impressive work. Actually, that last line right there was taken from a poem inspired by your Frosties persona. It'll be in the book when it comes out.

That's Grrreat! =P
I thought you were gone. Phew.
Hmm, it's Spring, isn't it? All the flowers blooming, romance in the air. Inside every zombie chest beats the undead heart of a poet. :D

Although I never knew you as dappled, there was so much speculation about it that at a certain point even I who didn't know you knew you were you.
