 [After talking to a certain anthropomorphic robot, Supey has been wondering about some things.

And like everybody friends with him or in his team knows, nothing good ever comes out of a curious Supey. Why would this time be different?]

This girl said... somebody 'named' her. Can people do that? I mean, naming things... and people.
[He isn't sure if

[Pausing, considering what to say in return to you, Supey.]

We're all named by someone. No one's just born with a name.

[Another pause. Very unsure about the second part.]

Not....sure. I'd like to think everyone does, but I dunno. [She doesn't...exactly have the best model relationship to learn from, after all.]

[seethemoon]

... I think Cadmus named me. But you guys... you have real names. Not just 'hero' names.

[He tilts his head, raising an eyebrow at her] You guys don't know? [He's honestly surprised by that.]

[greenarcheress]

Not me. [Just pointing that out. Her real name was her hero name.] Why not pick out a real name? Think you have the right to name yourself.

[She shrugs.] Haven't seen it happen. Guess it's possible, though.

...it doesn't feel right, though. Parents give their kids their names, they don't choose the name themselves.

[He wrinkles his nose, biting his lower lip. Sometimes he's an open book isn't he?] Are we too young for this? Should I wait to find the special someone that's just for me?

Well it is common for parents to name their children, and perhaps later in life people gain nicknames. I also hear that it has become common practice for people as they get older to create new names for themselves and change it as they wish. So, I suppose the simple answer to your inquiry is, yes Superboy.

[he pauses on the next question, looking thoughtful before speaking]

I believe they exist, but it is certainly something that has been debated by people for hundreds of years. In the ancient world it was not believed that you had a destined person...just that marriages were arranged by the parents in order to promote wealth and land or continue a line. However, I believe the more modern idea is that there is indeed a person out there for everyone.

[seethemoon]

[He ponders about it, wrinkling his nose. He had a name, he guessed. 'Superboy' worked just fine most of the time... but everybody seemed to think that was an alias, a name for his heroic things. And he was talking about a normal name, a 'human' one.]

So I can choose my name myself?

[He frowns at the second answer. He doesn't like the sound of that.]

Arranged marriage sounds like an order. I don't want that.

[video]

[acceptedburden]

[Somewhat surprised by this request, on the other hand he supposes that it would not hurt for him to have something else to go by]

Certainly. If you think you would like one. Did you have one in mind?

[chuckles]

The practice is mostly uncommon now except with royal families and some higher class citizens I imagine. Do not worry Superboy you will be free to choose who to be with when you find that person.

[video]

[seethemoon]

...No. I don't know much names, and most of them are already from people on the league Cadmus taught me. I can't use those.

[He nods]

Good. ...So I need to find them? How do I do that?

[video]

[likesyourtshirt]

Do... you want a name, Superboy?

( Hi, here's M'gann, being curious and all that. But wanting to be helpful all the same! )

If you would like, I can help?

( Oh... what is this second part he's talking about... M'gann catches all his little gestures, biting lip, neck scratching, glancing away... She's no stranger to any of that... )

You mean like a 'soul mate'? ( Yes, she sounds a little shy - and now she bites the inside of her own cheek, eyes looking off to the side. She's familiar with the human term of soul mates; is it the same with earthlings and martians? )

[video]

[seethemoon]

[He thinks about it for a while. It wasn't like he had wanted a name before... it hadn't even occurred to him that he might need it. He doesn't actually need it actually... yet...]

I think I do. But how can we choose something like a name?

[He frowns at the unfamiliar expression]

What's... a soulmate? I know what a soul is, and I know what a mate is... but...

[video]

[likesyourtshirt]

Maybe we can pick something until you feel you like it? Would that help...?

( He doesn't know what a soul mate is? M'gann feels a little warm in the face having to explain this to him and can't help but stammer along. )

A-a soul mate is ah - they are someone who you feel best connected to spiritually? There is a bond that runs deeper between you and them than... than anyone else.

[video]

[seethemoon]

I guess? I'm not sure what kind of names would fit me, though.

[He raises an eyebrow at the rise of temperature in her face, but doesn't comment on it. If only because it's cute how she's able to blush with green skin.]

...That's how Chii described 'the special someone just for me'. She said I'd be sad when they left my side, and happy when they close to me.

[grand_theatrics]

They already do that, don't they? People name their offspring, cities they've founded--[or conquered]--and other things.

Where did you think that names came from in the first place?

[But he's not getting into that love thing.]

[seethemoon]

[Well that's a change, everybody's been jumping on the love part like flies to honey]

I don't want to name any of those things. I want to name myself.

[grand_theatrics]

[He's not a good person to ask when it comes to love. At all.]

You want to name yourself? You don't have a name already?

video;

[seethemoon]

Kind of. It's more like an alias.

I'm Superboy.

[Voice]

[justabignobody]

Sure. How else would anyone get named.

[He pauses at the second question, mind flashing to Sora and Kairi and a certain picture in their secret place (and the way his heart tightened when he had seen in for the last time).]

I think they do... for certain people. [That certainly do not include Riku himself.] ...And I guess it's easier to see from the outside than when you are one of the people involved.

[Voice]

[seethemoon]

I wouldn't know, I have never seen anybody get named.

[...That... actually makes sense, judging by Supey's pasts experiences.] So I should... wait for people to tell me 'they are the one'? Not trust myself?

[Voice]

[justabignobody]

Almost all things generally get their names from someone else. That doesn't mean they don't get renamed on occasion.

[Or you know... take up an alias because they are just way too paranoid.]

That's not what I said. I think that sometimes people are blind to it, but if the feels right you should probably go for it.

[Voice]

[seethemoon]

...So I can get one? I can 'rename' myself?

[He hums, processing what Rikku said] ...how should I 'go for it'? What am I supposed to do?
