Inoue Orihime. Kagerou. Are they the same?

I like most flavors of ice cream.

[weaver_girl]

The same... Hmm. Inoue Orihime is who I was when I came here, though I didn't know me very well back then. Kagerou is who I decided to be here, but... I couldn't be Kagerou without also being Orihime.

It's complicated, you know?

Do you have a favourite?

[ghost_of_00]

Identity is very complicated. I didn't know who 00 or Rei was when I was born.

I like Kagerou. If you used to be Orihime, I think I would like her too.

[and now the DIFFICULT question.]

Vanilla. Maybe.

[weaver_girl]

But you've got to know yourself, right? I think that's all anyone can do.

I wish I could tell you more about her. Well, things that aren't sad or dangerous, anyway. I could show you my memories, if you wanted. The Theatre is open now.

Vanilla Maybe it is then.

[pimpcoatbankai]

Inoue. I knew that was you.

What do you want us to call you now? You still want to be Kagerou or do you want to be Orihime?

[weaver_girl]

Of course it was me. - Wait, you didn't know? Didn't I ever mention it? Oh, dear. Well, now it is clear, at least.

I think Kagerou is good at least until I'm a little more at home with Orihime, [tiniest of pauses] Kurosaki-kun.

[pimpcoatbankai]

Don't call me Kurosaki-kun. That's too formal. What's wrong with Toushi? I know it's not my real name, but it's friendlier than Kurosaki, right?

[weaver_girl]

That's just what I called you in my memories, but you're right, it doesn't really sound right.

I... know your first name, too, but I'll keep calling you Toushi if you want me to, of course.

[pompous_today]

Orihime is a beautiful name, but to me, you will always be my meimei.

[weaver_girl]

Well, that solves the problem of what you should call me quite nicely.

[pompous_today]

Yes, it does.

As to your other question, I do have a soft spot for donuts. And pork buns. Tea, too, of course.

[weaver_girl]

Donuts and pork buns? Not at the same time, though?

[grinninggrifter]

Orihime is one constellation I'm afraid I am not aware of. How is it pronounced?

As for foods... burgers are nice.

[weaver_girl]

Do you know Vega? They're the same thing, only in different parts of the world.

Umm. The stress is on the first syllable, OH-ree-hi-meh, something like that.

[grinninggrifter]

Ah, yes - Alpha Lyrae the harp, isn't it? A lovely name.

[weaver_girl]

I had to dig out one of Rosalind's Very Scientific Books to check, but yes, it seems so! And thank you very much.

[man_genius]

Helping? What? I really didn't do anything expect earn even more mental trauma and some admittedly awesome looking scars. Chicks dig scars right?

Orihime? How do I pronounce that?

[weaver_girl]

I wouldn't have got away without you. And then I couldn't have told Gai and the Watch where to find you guys. So I think that is an awful lot of helping.

I'm not sure! Maybe you should ask a few more girls, too? I'm perhaps not very representative.

[Then she draws an arrow along the margin to her response to Grift.] Something like this. I'll pronounce it for you next time we're on shift together.

[man_genius]

Your fairy things did all the work. I just got caught.

Great where's Fred when you need her.

Oh. Huh. Yeah. It's pretty. Visually. Got nice vowels and...actually yeah it's got a lot of vowels.

[weaver_girl]

Oh no, none of that. I wouldn't even have got away from that first monster if it wasn't for you.

I'll just... demonstrate, all right?
