So

Her real name's Rose. :P *BUZZER*

[saleskitten]

Don't feel stupid!

My name is probably pretty cat-like and I might feel silly, too..

<3

[handy_psychic]

Hmmm, yeah. It's impossible to know what your real name is unless you're lucky enough to find out, so I won't worry too much about it.

[kanin_gitarist]

But you're nots stupid.

How dids you learns your name?

[handy_psychic]

Yeah, I suppose not. ^_^

I went to that big upside-down island in the sky, and it turned right-side up when I walked across the bridge leading to it, and I met a nice guy named Adam who apparently knows me. He kept calling me Bridge, and I made the logical connection.

Mother fucking Ping of all Pings

[redrobinhood]

Wha--

Bridge?

[ooc: huuuuuge inkblot. the pen has slipped from his nerveless fingers.]

[handy_psychic]

Ah, yeah...

Are you alright or did you just drop your pen?

[redrobinhood]

Ah..yeah. Sorry.

How did you figure it out? Where were you? Is Spike ok? What the hell is going on?!

Bridge. Bridge. Yeah. That's it.

[handy_psychic]

It's okay! I'm fine, he's fine, we're all alright.

I went to that big island in the sky. It's not aliens, it's a place called Rivelata. I met a nice guy named Adam who says he knows me personally, and knows of you and Spike. He kept calling me Bridge, and it suddenly clicked in my mind...

[inthecenterfold]

A name's not everything, you know. Gotta back it up with a person.

[handy_psychic]

Well, yeah. ^_^ Last I checked I was all still here.

[inthecenterfold]

That's not what I meant...

Like you're still the same person. Call yourself Daisy-pup for all I care, still the same guy.

I kinda like the idea that a name's something you should give yourself, not something someone else gives you.

[handy_psychic]

Ohh, I gotcha.

I like the name Bridge. I think that's what I'm going to go by from now on.

[lost_in_osaka]

Name's are just names, ain't they?

Could still call ya Brooklyn.

[handy_psychic]

Well, names ARE just names but they're still important 'cause without them we wouldn't know what to call each other, would we?

I'd actually like to be called Bridge from now on. I like it. ^_^

[lost_in_osaka]

That's what "Hey, you!" and "Mister" is for, I think. 'till we go n' make somethin' up or find out.

Could call ya BB. Like, Brooklyn Bridge. Could also call ya London Bridge, dunno why, but it makes me think I remember somethin'. But then again, maybe I don't, as I dunno what a London is.

[handy_psychic]

Hmm, that gets pretty confusing, though.

BB, huh? And London was a name I thought of for myself at one time, since it's also the name of a bridge and I named myself after a bridge at first... I also could've called myself Golden Gate or Sydney or Purple People...
