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

[heavyhitter]

hell yeah, i did both
why, name shopping? want some suggestions? i got a million

[freshtilapia]

Impressive!
I'm shopping around for a new stage name, actually. I think I've outgrown my old one.

[heavyhitter]

ok no sweat i got this, just 3 questions
1 what’s your name-name
2 what’s the performance
3 what’s the old stage name

[freshtilapia]

1. Do I really have to tell you? Most people just call me Fish.
2. I'm an acrobat. I also sing and dance. I can play instruments, but that isn't what I'm paid to do now. And I do it all in drag.
3. Whorelyn of the Depths

[heavyhitter]

1 no not really just wanted to see if you would
fish is good
2 what direction is the drag going
3 wtf that’s good, what do you wanna change it for

[freshtilapia]

1. Glad to know, darling.
2. I prefer to style myself glamorously-- serve a full feminine fantasy, in other words.
3. Really? You think it's good? All this time, I was thinking it had a lot of spite behind it...

[Fish had a lot to unpack behind why that was their drag name. But they don't really want to go into it with a total stranger.]

What's your name?

[heavyhitter]

ok this list bullshit served its purpose. and idk i like it, it makes it sound like you go down on everyone but like, mysteriously. i can get behind that.

ana ramir. like it? that’s the one i picked. got the whole short and stylish going, plus i go by just ramir. double style points.

[freshtilapia]

[.......................... out of character, I'm really floored by Ana's assessment of Fish. I spent a good few minutes screaming and laughing.]

Me? Go down on everyone but mysteriously?
Wouldn't you like to know, darling? ;)

Ramir, huh? That's pretty charming. You already sound like someone I'd love to meet in person.

[heavyhitter]

[ bless u, bless u......... ]

if i did, it’d spoil the mystery

and yeah, i probably am. are you buying?

[freshtilapia]

Oh, you know I'm in the market for it, darling.

[Fish... actually doesn't know what the fuck they're even saying, but they just think it's the best way to reply!]

[heavyhitter]

[ allow her to elucidate, very enthusiastically because someone just agreed to give her free booze: ]

that colorful bar with all the neon green down on mayview, you know it? level 3. how’s tonight?

[freshtilapia]

I definitely do, darling. ;)
I took my time getting to know the place while I was job hunting.
And tonight is good— now that the beasts from the Lightless have been tamed, going down to that level won’t be a problem.

[ Time for a log? ]

[heavyhitter]

the what from the who now
also who am i gonna be looking for?

[ sounds good! i can put it in my open log, unless you'd rather :] ]

[freshtilapia]

I’ll explain it better when we meet.
I’m a very tall merfolk with violet skin and red fins. You won’t miss me.

(( I’m out right now and phone tagging! So if you could start it off in your open log and link me, I’d be grateful! ))

To a Log!!
