[007] I have a pet

[esperboy]

A few days ago, Murata-san and I went out running. ^_^ After a certain close encounter with a dog from his neighborhood, he gave me a pet fish. This is him (or her, we aren't quite sure yet):

Goldie!

S/he is very pretty.

[dee_um_ee_um_el]

goldie's real name is irving.

[naniwa_loverboy]

Irving isn't a goldfish name, though. It sounds like the name of a middle aged man going through a mid-life crisis...

[dee_um_ee_um_el]

irving was goldie's name before goldie was named goldie. and you only think that's what it sounds like. :) :) :) :) :)

((ooc: this is actual Sandman canon, btw. Abel wanted to name his baby gargoyle Irving. Cain killed him and said that gargoyle names must start with a G. So Abel decided to name it Goldie, because it was gold-colored.))

Fishstick.

[esperboy]

Isn't that something you eat, Ranma?

[hydrophobia]

Exactly.

[esperboy]

I'm not planning to eat her, Ranma. ^_^

[takisntaregular]

Shouldn't you give them an asexual name if you're not sure of the gender? Like... Goldie or Fishy or perhaps Dori? :D

[naniwa_loverboy]

I already suggested Goldie, copycat! :P

[kidoban]

...great minds think alike? ^_^

[naniwa_loverboy]

But my 200+ I.Q makes my mind greater!!! ♥

[dee_um_ee_um_el]

it's a her. i can tell by her singing voice. :) :) :) :) :)

um. you should name her carlotta monstravoggle.

((ooc: Koizumi has a fish. ... ... ...you're doomed now. Very doomed.))

[esperboy]

Oh? You can hear her sing?

That's an exotic name, to say the least. ^_^ I'll consider it.

((ooc: Is there a joke I'm missing? ;o;))

[dee_um_ee_um_el]

all fishies can sing. it's just that most people, and non-people, can't hear them. but i can make that possible. ^_^

yay!

((ooc: I don't know how familiar you are with Sandman, but this is Delirium. She is often seen with fishies, and she can become fishies as well. The way Joan and I play Delirium, we place a bit of emphasis on her fixation with fishies and doggies. Brawl characters who are or have fish or dogs are about ten times more likely to be targeted by her. She gave Oishi the gift of hearing his fish sing.))

[esperboy]

You seem quite convinced, Delirium-san, so I believe you. ^_^ I shall give her a feminine name.

Can you? I'd love to do that. ^_^

((ooc: ...I kinda want to read Sandman now. XD That is soo cool, though!))

[kidoban]

Congrats on the new fish. He looks like a Colonel Mustard to me. ^_^

[esperboy]

Thank you! And Colonel Mustard is a great name. ^_^

[kidoban]

You're welcome. It sprang into my mind out of nowhere.

Maa... I started watching your show. Certain things, some of which was referenced last weekend, make a bit more sense now. ^_^

[esperboy]

Perhaps you have been playing board games recently? ^_^

I see. Hopefully you'll understand my concern about the situation, then.
