[ A rather tidy scrawl appears. But it's unsteady at the same time, unsure. ]

What's so important about a name? People seem to get upset if you don't have one. I do not, but I have no need for one. My purpose has been served, and I am a mere doll. A doll doesn't get a real name, just a role.

Why are names so important? Why? Why is it not okay that I don't have one? I'm a doll. I don't need one. I don' even exist.

I'm not important.

Am I?

If your task in your world was completed, this place taking you will not change that; you may move on from it without worrying about it - it is complete, and you are now free to find another reason to exist.

[personal profile] sky_sharkling 2016-01-06 07:27 am (UTC)(link)
It won't. It's not how this place works. Whatever you did before now will stick. Or if you going back to that world will undo it, it's possible to change where you would go back to. Someone told me once that people had gone back to worlds that weren't their original world. So you might be able to create your own life, and eventually live it on a different world. It's up to you and what you want to do with your life.

["Tonight" is a mess. First running headlong into his feelings about Van, now this?

Asch doesn't like replicas, or anything like them. And there seem to be a number of them here, which sets his hackles up, and he doesn't know who any of them are because the handwriting is anonymous.]


A name distinguishes you from others. If there was someone born in the same way as you, people would want a way to tell you apart.

Perhaps we should find a name for the lost little doll - something to give a definition of self.

[There's a patch under it with messy scribbles where it's like he's trying to write with something interfering horribly with his pen; somewhere outside on a weird corner of the town wall Spade is throwing all four pounds of feather and claws that he is now at Mukuro's hand, having an argument to the tune of "THAT'S NOT A NAME" "OH LIKE YOU WOULD DO ANY BETTER".]
bloodyashes: (Just another lurker lurking)

[personal profile] bloodyashes 2016-01-06 08:11 am (UTC)(link)
A name that isn't anyone else's.

[On the surface, it might seem like Asch is trying to say that giving her a name that belonged to someone else might hinder her developing sense of self. Really, he's just angry about his own problems.]

I would hope so.

I don't suppose there is anyone named Cornelia about?

Or Amalthea?
sky_sharkling: (Switch peek)

[personal profile] sky_sharkling 2016-01-06 08:18 am (UTC)(link)
I have an idea. Something simpler.

Hope.
shuttersense: (nope)

[personal profile] shuttersense 2016-01-06 12:11 pm (UTC)(link)
Maybe not Hope.

[Her words are written quickly in her haste.]

There might be books in the library that could help. It should be a name with meaning, that feels right, shouldn't it? A name is a reflection of the self.

another? [ Written next to the scribbled area. ]


Yes, but that is not what Mother I was created to be.

There should be no Fate Testarossa, only Alicia Testarossa.

[personal profile] projectnamed 2016-01-06 07:01 pm (UTC)(link)
I had all of my original's memories and physical traits...

It makes no sense that Mother's my creator's daughter is not speaking to you in my stead.

and if I had not been a failure, Mother and Lynith would be alive

You do not need a name to exist but it looks like people are going to give you one anyway. Don't worry about it. It's convenient for them.

[Sam hasn't really gotten much of a chance to talk to this particular member of his room. --He seems to be surrounded by kids this time around.-- But he still has an answer for her.]

Well, even if you don't think that you need one, it's something that people are used to. And we tend to consider it rude to just shout 'Hey, you!' at others around us.

I've been in this place before and...I don't think it pulls people here that aren't important. To somebody, at least.

[Another distinct writing form appears a while later, cursive lettering spreading neatly and slowly across the page.]

Names are a way of showing that thought was put into your existence. That is why they are important, and I'm fairly sure that's why other people are upset when they find out you were never given one.

Do names that are only the name of the project that birthed you count?
projectnamed: (Sad▾受け止めたその手は冷たく)

[personal profile] projectnamed 2016-01-12 03:36 am (UTC)(link)
Does it really differentiate you from others if it's only a designation of what project and experiment series led to your creation?

I care because if I accepted that kind of logic, I would've lost my brother long ago. He believed he was born to protect me, and once I no longer needed him, he'd die. That's why I care, because I believe there's more to life than just fulfilling some purpose that's set for you. No-one should be just tossed aside in the end.
angel_of_death: (Scrutiny)

[personal profile] angel_of_death 2016-01-12 05:57 am (UTC)(link)
It makes me think that more thought was put into the project that birthed you than you. I wouldn't count it.

[It sounded like something done out of convenience rather than any thought for the person. Like affixing a label instead of really naming something.]

Just because someone wants you to fulfill one purpose doesn't mean you have to. You're your own person no matter what.

[ Fate is going to take a... while to respond. She's trying to get her composure.

She didn't mean for Dan to see any of that. ]


sorry....

If what is said here is true, all your creators were selfish fools.

[Oh Fate. His heart. Written carefully but very soon after:]

It's not like I'm mad at you. I just worry about you.
