[florian's been thinking for a while now, and - well. what with ion being haru and all that other weird stuff going on, now's as good a time as any, right? so on this page, underneath some thoughtful scribbles of rappigs and flowers and bugs, he'll write a little question:]

If somebody gives you a name, and then they forget they gave it to you, is it still your name?

You're still using it, aren't you?

[positivelycharged]

That's true, I am. I don't have any other names to use.

[tolivefortoday]

Then it's still your name. They might not remember, but you do, and that's what counts.

[positivelycharged]

Is that how it works? I'll make sure to never forget it then, because i want to keep it.

[tolivefortoday]

Well, not really. Even if you forgot and remembered again later, it would still be your name. You don't ever really lose a name once you have one.

[positivelycharged]

So my name is here forever? I'll never lose it?

[tolivefortoday]

It's yours as long as you want it to be, Florian.

[positivelycharged]

Okay. I'm glad then. I want to keep it for as long as I can.

[tolivefortoday]

Good! It's a very nice name, after all.

[positivelycharged]

Thanks! Your name's nice too, I really like it.

[tolivefortoday]

Thank you. That's very sweet of you to say.

[positivelycharged]

You're welcome. We should play together someday, I learned some new games!

suddenly dinosaurs! /o/

[tolivefortoday]

Really? What kind of games?

all the dinosaurs! \o\

[positivelycharged]

Red light, green light and hide and seek! I haven't tried playing red light green light yet but it sounds fun.

[tolivefortoday]

I know how to play hide and seek, but what's red light, green light?

[positivelycharged]

It's a game where you try to reach this person, but if they say red light you have to stop moving until they say green light. You've got to stand really still, like you're frozen.

[tolivefortoday]

So you lose if you move after they say red light?

[positivelycharged]

...That's right! Just like that.

[tolivefortoday]

That does sound fun! We should definitely play that someday. Maybe after school?

[positivelycharged]

After school is good! We could get everybody to play with us.

[tolivefortoday]

That's what I was thinking. I'm sure they'd like to.
