[freshtilapia]

Have you ever given yourself a new name?
Or maybe a nickname?
How did you choose it?
Does it have any meaning for you?

[freshtilapia]

And in what way, if you don't mind me asking?

[freshtilapia]

[Fish feels a smile creep on to their lips as they think of Mollymauk, but of course, but Connie doesn't see this.]

That will be easy! Do you see a symbol that's like a box with a circle in the middle? Try touching it.

This is a bit different. This world.... I shouldn't be here. I stopped existing before arriving here safe. It's a bit confusing.

[600kanandscrolls]

If you would prefer romance then I believe I can arrange that. After all, it would be a shame not to.
But to answer your question the answer is yes. I am one of the swords here.

[wildsorcery]

Okay, give me a moment

[ He fiddles a little bit with it. ]

Oh! I can see myself! It's like a mirror!

[lightthedarkness]

[For someone who has been surrounded by women and men in drag, you'd think she'd know what it is but nope.]

What's drag?

[freshtilapia]

Honestly, I'm confused darling.

[freshtilapia]

Well, basically it's people dressing as the opposite gender. But it's a lot more than that for me. How do I explain it... it's like I take on a different identity. It's a transformation into something more powerful and beautiful than I am.

That's doing drag for me.

[freshtilapia]

My, you sound like quite the charmer of a sword. But that name on you is a mouthful. Let's give you a nickname. How would you like to be called, darling?

[freshtilapia]

That's right! Now touch the big circle on one end of the screen. It should take your picture of you do.

[600kanandscrolls]

Whatever you wish to call me. I would be honored to carry a name given by you.

[wildsorcery]

I think I did it! Now how do I send it?

[freshtilapia]

Really now? Even without seeing my face? That's quite a lot of trust, sweetheart.

[cadeuces]

I'll be there for sure.
But you definitely need something flashier than "Fish", you're right!
Hmmm...

I've always appreciated names associated with the stars or historical gods and goddesses, so a few ideas would be things like Ophelia, Venus, Aurora, Cressida... Many of these are moons named after figures from classic literature and plays. Maybe Vega?

It's a start, at least, to find if you like the name of any! Aurora was a Roman goddess of the dawn, for example.
It feels appropriate! They're all quite grand names, which I'm sure you deserve.

[freshtilapia]

You can touch the strange square icon that kind of looks like a picture.

[wildsorcery]

Okay, let's see

[ It's a very blurry picture of his hair and half an ear. He tried! ]

[600kanandscrolls]

Well, we could change that part easily enough.

[freshtilapia]

You did it! It isn't the best picture, but it's a start, darling!

[wildsorcery]

Thank you so much! I really appreciate it!

[freshtilapia]

My, all those names are very beautiful. And I'm flattered you think I'm deserving of a grand name! And you haven't even seen me in full regalia much less me in person!

[freshtilapia]

I like the sound of that. Let's meet up then. There's a lovely cafe close to my apartment if you'd like that.

[600kanandscrolls]

That sounds perfect. I currently have plenty of free time on my hands. I can go there now if you've the time.

[freshtilapia]

No problem, sweetheart. I hope to see you in person soon. ;)

[wildsorcery]

That would be very nice, Fish. Thank you.

[freshtilapia]

You're in luck, so am I. I'll see you soon.

(( ooc: do you have a catch-all log? I've got one too if you want to tag into that. ))
