...how do you know when you've found a name for yourself? Nothing seems to fit.

Perhaps there is someone who can give you one. Perhaps it isn't a matter of not being able to find a name, but not being able to find that person.

[notyourdouble]

...so how do I find them?

[fluorite_flux]

Well, all journeys begin with a single step! Are you much of a traveler?

[notyourdouble]

...I guess so, in a way.

[although he'd never really been outside of Castle Oblivion, there were floors that mimicked other worlds. Close enough...right?]

[fluorite_flux]

In a way?

[notyourdouble]

They weren't real places...just illusions of them.

[fluorite_flux]

You have only ever been one place then?

[notyourdouble]

Any one real place...yeah.

[fluorite_flux]

Since this is the second place you've been then, you should try to connect with as many people as possible! This is the next step in your journey.

[notyourdouble]

What do you mean by 'connect?'

[he doesn't really understand this idea of connecting with people - maybe...it's like making memories, which are chained together...memories of his own...]

[fluorite_flux]

Well, connecting is like what we're doing right now. Talking together and laughing together and sharing things.

[notyourdouble]

Why should I do something like that with a lot of people?

[fluorite_flux]

It's as I said, you'll never know which one might be the one that can name you.

[notyourdouble]

One person already tried to name me, but it wasn't the right one. How is anyone else going to do a better job?

[fluorite_flux]

Hmm, was it someone you had a bond with?

[notyourdouble]

No, I'd just met her.
