Pretending to be an Avatar You're Not

My Second Life avatar, Eureka Dejavu, with a friend request from Khannea Suntzu.

An avatar I've never met is trying to get me to agree to pretend I've been playing her all along.

This reminds me of the trailer that I just watched for the new Angelina Jolie movie, Salt, in which Evelyn Salt, a hard-edged interrogator, grills a captured Russian for intel. The link below is in Russian because the "official" trailer had embedding disabled.

Anyway, it sounds way more hardcore in Russian.

Here's all you need to know to follow along:

Russian: "The name of the agent is Evelyn Salt."

Angelina: "My name is Evelyn Salt."

Russian: "Then you are a Russian spy."

Inexplicably, Evelyn Salt then instantly flees to prove that she is not a Russian spy. It's worth a look just to see Angelina go back to brunette after the blonde intro.


Anyway, back to Keanna Suntzu, the avatar who has pinged me across multiple mediums to "enter into formal negotiations that you'd leak the rumor here and there that in fact you are 'my primary' i.e. you are the player of 'khannea suntzu.' The remarkable thing is we are spitting image duplicates. :)) You IRL (in real life) and me ISL (in Second Life)."

Wagner James Au blogged over at New World Notes about Keanna Suntzu back in 2006. She didn't look like me then although if I don't get away from this keyboard soon I might get glowing red eyes.
