Day 1

[faintwaves]

Everyone naming their goats is making me wonder something...

Do you ever wonder about your own names? Like...where they came from?

I mean, I'm Scottish, but my last name is French. And I don't even know what Xion is supposed to be. Sometimes I wonder what my parents were even thinking when they called me that.

Comments

Well, those are some deep thoughts, Tristesse.

I'm sure that when you name your goat, it will be very symbolic.

[faintwaves]

I'm not naming the goat.

And don't call me Tristesse, my name is Xion.

[luxextenebris]

I have no idea what my parents were thinking when they named me Roxas.

Or smoking as the case may be.

And, well, you know I'm half-Scottish half-Irish. My last name is related to a legendary medieval Welsh enchantress. Explain that to me :\

[faintwaves]

...What does smoking have to do with it?

[luxextenebris]

It's a Muggle saying.

Apparently to do something crazy you either need to be crazy or smoking and getting high to do it.

[faintwaves]

Oh, so you mean intoxicated.

...What do Muggles do to do that?

[Conversation: Derailed.]

[bonafide_divinity]

Can I name your goat?

[faintwaves]

...Well...

You promise not to call it Wanker McGee?

[luxextenebris]

Not a lot anymore, but some still do I think.

It was really popular back in the sixties or seventies, but my parents were born in the late seventies, so I don't think they ever actually did things like that :\

[faintwaves]

Hunh.

That was a long time ago.

Do you think they use ecklecity to get high nowadays?

[luxextenebris]

Electricity.

It doesn't work that way, Xion. And even if it did, getting zapped with enough electricity could get you killed.

[faintwaves]

Oh.

[Oops.]

Well, Muggles are always upgrading their ways of doing, I figured it made sense.

Sort of.

[bonafide_divinity]

And that's the only condition?

[faintwaves]

...Vulgar things in general.

[WATCHIN' U.]

[luxextenebris]

Upgrades usually happen because the technology's been old for a while. I guess that doesn't excuse Apple for the constant upgrades of iPods and things like that every other year.

There's been cases of people going into comas because of electricity zaps or being hit by lightning, but I still wouldn't chance it.

[bonafide_divinity]

Xion, I swear I would never even dream of giving your goat a vulgar name.

You have my word.

[Why? What could possibly go wrong?]

[faintwaves]

...Apple

pod




What are you even talking about?

Did they make an electronic apple??

[luxextenebris]

Oh. Er, Apple's a technology company over in the United States. iPods are music players.

[faintwaves]

[Because she don't trust his family name, yo.]

You can name it then, I guess. But why do you want to name it in the first place?

[faintwaves]

They called it Apple?

...Are the pods shaped like apples?

[luxextenebris]

Muggles are weird when they name things.

It looks like this



and you plug the headphones into the iPod to listen to music :)

[bonafide_divinity]

[What's not to like about his family name?]

Why wouldn't I want to name your goat?
If nobody gives it a name, it will be jealous of all the other goats. And sad.

You should name it Greg.

[fuckmackandme]

i dunno...
i never really thought about my name like that.

[faintwaves]

[Everything.]

I doubt goats have that sort of thought process.

[She's naive, but girl knows her animals.]

What if it's a girl?

[bonafide_divinity]

I don't know, Xion. I think goats are more sensitive than most people think.

And if it's a girl [pause] we'll just have to think of something else.
