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?

Lost-in-spacians

[pushtheboundaries]

Ha!- Wait, no, I've got it-

We-dream-of-turtles.

[redlightgreenlight]

Oh!

[She looks delighted and claps her hands]

I have an idea!

What about just "Dreamers"?

[pushtheboundaries]

...only if I get to teach them how to play Imagine.

[YOU CAN SAY THAT HE'S A DREAMER, BUT HE'S NOT THE ONLY ONE]

[redlightgreenlight]

I've never heard of that game, how do you play it?

[pushtheboundaries]

It's not a game, it's a song. You can say that I'm a dreamer...

[he's not bad, but he's no John Lennon.]

[redlightgreenlight]

A song?

[Her eyes widen in delight]

Oh, your voice is wonderful!

[pushtheboundaries]

[WHELP NOW HE'S RED] Please, there's plenty who'd hit me for that butchery. I can teach the tune, at least.

[redlightgreenlight]

It's what in your heart that counts. After all, the heart is what makes things beautiful.

[pushtheboundaries]

Keep flattering like that and I may have to write down the lyrics for you.

[redlightgreenlight]

Is it still flattery if it's the truth?

[pushtheboundaries]

[pft]

If you insist it is, yes.

Besides, I'm not sure I can remember all of them.

[redlightgreenlight]

Will you sing what you remember?

[pushtheboundaries]

[ANOTHER PFT. but...after a moment, and him rubbing his face ruefully...]

...but I'm not the only one.
I hope some day that you will join us
And the world will live as one.

There's- ah- more, but. That's enough for now.

[redlightgreenlight]

It sounds like a lovely song.

[pushtheboundaries]

One of my mother's favorites.

[redlightgreenlight]

Oh, that's so sweet!
