Thirty-first Lotus

[spandexisyouth]

My name is Gai.

You may use it or Youth as you would like. I have not been very youthful of late; Gai might fit better. But I will not be upset whichever one someone uses.

If anyone who is without their weapons needs assistance with the basics of hand-to-hand, I am available to instruct.

Hey, Youth--Gai now, I guess. Sorry, 'bout disappearin' durin' the reconstruction. Dere still any work to do?

[he hasn't gone up since his elevator debacle. He's also still fighting his writing in a funny stereotypical, Brooklyn accent way.]

[spandexisyouth]

Do not worry about it. I believe some of the extra Temporary housing could use assistance, though most places have been repaired.

[blacklegcook]

A lot sure can 'appen in a couple of days.

Ya wouldn't know a different way up da tree, would ya?

[spandexisyouth]

You are affected like Paladin, I see.

You are in the Wilderness? I am afraid there is only one way. I know the elevator is not always reliable, but it gets people to their destination more often than it traps them.

[feathered_earth]

Gai sounds like a good name. But I think you're still youthful.

[spandexisyouth]

Thank you, Krile. That means a great deal.

[ghost_of_00]

Can you be both Youth and Gai?

00

[spandexisyouth]

I can, 00. Especially for you.

[ghost_of_00]

Then I will use both names.

[...]

Why especially for me?

[spandexisyouth]

I will answer to both.

Because it is something that you have requested, and I enjoy encouraging you.

[weaver_girl]

I think they're both good names.

[spandexisyouth]

Thank you, Kagerou. And I am sure that in time you will find your name as well.

[weaver_girl]

I'm fine with this one, really, though knowing my other one would be nice.

I think Gai has a kind of jaunty ring to it, too. So you can be youthful with it, too.

[spandexisyouth]

Kagerou is a very lovely name.

Jaunty? I like that. Gai is jaunty.

[grab_my_bells]

I think the name is growing on me. It's better than Youth, at least.

[spandexisyouth]

I am glad it is growing on you. Though there was nothing wrong with Youth. I liked Youth.

[grab_my_bells]

Maybe if you're 12 years old or under.

[spandexisyouth]

I am not a child. Youth and Spring are noble concepts, and it was a fitting name.
