Video | The Name Game

[Valdis is smiling, her braided hair hangs over one shoulder and you can clearly see that she is in the Hotel.]

I was thinking...

[She says, looking thoughtful, her eyes glazing slightly.]

We might not originally be from Keeliai, but we live here now and are doing our best to make it our home.

[She fingers the wolf pendant hanging around her neck absently.]

I don't think that we should call ourselves 'Foreigners' anymore, it gives the wrong impression and it continues to separate us from our neighbors.

[Her eyes focus again and she smiles at the camera.]

I think we should change our name to 'Planeswalkers,' because we've walked the three planes of Life, Dreaming and Death. It would give us a place, I think, and it gives off a more...settled feeling. Like we're a family or something.

[She sighs]

What do you guys think?

You're not concerned a name like "Planeswalkers" is going to sound a little arrogant?

[ He's... probably joking. ]

[redlightgreenlight]

Does it?

[Now she looks a bit worried]

I was just trying to come up with something that describes who we are...something apart from 'Foreigners'.

[denyamenti]

I was joking, khasphemet.

Why do you think the name should change?

[redlightgreenlight]

It implies that we will never have a place here and that makes me sad, because we do have a place here and we can contribute positively to Keeliai. I think it's time we all committed to do that, and we can show that by changing our name.

[ Bakura seems as if he's considering that, but ultimately shrugs. ]

Changing a name won't mean much if the kedan still think of us as outsiders. Have you asked any of them what they think we should be called?

[ Not that Bakura cares considerably for their opinions, but it does highlight the thought; if the kedan are going to keep thinking of them as Foreigners, the name change wouldn't matter, and if the Foreigners were going to think of themselves as part of Keeliai regardless of the kedan's opinions, why care what the name was? ]

[redlightgreenlight]

Oh, that's a wonderful idea!

[denyamenti]

[ She's so weird like this. ]

Well, there you go.

[redlightgreenlight]

So, who exactly should we ask? The heads of the families? Somehow I don't think that they care too much, and two thirds are just plain grumpy.

[denyamenti]

The family heads aren't the only ones here. Ask normal people what they think too, they're the ones you're going to be talking to most of the time. Mention in when you go shopping.

[redlightgreenlight]

Oh, you are brilliant!

[denyamenti]

Are you certain you're feeling all right...

[redlightgreenlight]

Yes?

[There's a slight hesitation]

Did I say something wrong?

[denyamenti]

[ he shakes his head ]

No. This will merely take some getting used to.

[redlightgreenlight]

I'm sorry...
