^^===== This guy is the reason I had to have this discussion.

Oh. And if you see Pinnalia in the game, call her Yoshimi.

-------------------------------------------------------------

Yoshimi says in a very soft voice, 'Well, whoever complained is right.'

Yoshimi says in a very soft voice, 'My name is the name of a song.'

You peer around yourself intently.

You tell Vanisse 'Is it all right to go out of character in this explanation?'

Vanisse says 'Well...you could still be about a song, but with a different name...'

Vanisse nods.

Yoshimi says in a very soft voice, 'It's called Yoshimi Battles the Pink Robots.'

Vanisse blinks innocently.

Yoshimi says in a very soft voice, 'And a lyric in it is that she's working for the city.'

Vanisse says 'Pink robots??'

Yoshimi says in a very soft voice, 'Hence an application to Justice.'

You nod.

Vanisse says 'Pink??'

You nod.

Vanisse boggles at the concept.

You agree absolutely.

Yoshimi says in a very soft voice, 'It's a good song too.'

Yoshimi says in a very soft voice, 'Anyway. That's my namesake.'

Vanisse says 'Hmm.'

Vanisse falls down laughing.

Yoshimi says in a very soft voice, 'My pet is also along the same lines.'

You pat Zaireeka the white quartz tiger on its head.

Vanisse says 'A pink robot?'

Yoshimi says in a very soft voice, 'That's the name of one of their albums.'

Vanisse says 'Oh.'

Vanisse boggles at the concept.

You sigh.

Yoshimi says in a very soft voice, 'My friends thought it would be interesting if I made Yoshimi, applied to Justice and named my pet Zaireeka.'

Vanisse falls down laughing.

Vanisse says 'Well, you can keep the pet, but you'll have to get a name change.'

Yoshimi says in a very soft voice, 'Keira kept her name.'

You whine to anyone who will listen to you.

Vanisse says 'Wasn't me.'

DAMN! You snap your fingers.

Vanisse chortles mischieviously.

Yoshimi says in a very soft voice, 'Well. I think I'll disappear until whoever complained rage deletes and this all blows over.'

Vanisse says 'Don't worry, we'll have a note written to all so people will still know who you are.'

Yoshimi says in a very soft voice, 'Can I do that?'

Vanisse blinks innocently.

Vanisse falls to the ground and rolls around laughing hysterically.

Vanisse says 'No, unfortunately not.'

Yoshimi says in a very soft voice, 'It is quite probable that I will have to depart suddenly and without warning.'

Yoshimi says in a very soft voice, 'Such is the nature of my activity these days.'

Yoshimi says in a very soft voice, 'Could you at least tell me who complained?'

Vanisse says 'Aplaro'

Vanisse shrugs helplessly.

You sigh.

Yoshimi says in a very soft voice, 'I give him two weeks at most before he rage deletes.'

Vanisse snickers softly.

Yoshimi says in a very soft voice, 'Can't we wait til he goes away?'

Vanisse says 'That'd be against policy, and I'd be a very bad girl.'


Vanisse shakes her head.

You sigh.

You think long and hard about the issue.

Yoshimi tries to come up with a cunning way to get out of this predicament without getting banned.

Vanisse snickers softly.

Yoshimi says in a very soft voice, 'You see. The name fits me very well.'

Vanisse shrugs helplessly.

Yoshimi says in a very soft voice, 'It's like taking away the soul of a person.'

Yoshimi says in a very soft voice, 'Can't I appeal to your half-evlanity?'

Yoshimi says in a very soft voice, 'Half-elvanity rather.'

Vanisse blinks innocently.

Vanisse says 'I don't have vanity!'

Vanisse glares around icily.

Yoshimi says in a very soft voice, 'You know, like humanity except half-elvantiy.'

Vanisse says 'Oh.'

Yoshimi says in a very soft voice, 'I wasn't calling you vain.'

You sit on the soft cushions covered with books.

<HERALD> Odile the Crier gossips 'Cateroth has been barred for breaking the peace code of the tavern!'

Yoshimi says in a very soft voice, 'Is there any way at all I could retain my name?'

Yoshimi gossips: 'Good job Cateroth.'

Vanisse says 'You could keep it as a last name.'

You think long and hard about the issue.

Yoshimi says in a very soft voice, 'That's not as good.'

Vanisse says 'Compromise though.'

Vanisse shrugs helplessly.

Yoshimi says in a very soft voice, 'This is such a bother.'


Vanisse agrees absolutely.

Yoshimi says in a very soft voice, 'You know, someone once said that circumlocution is like the fig leaves that cover the disagreeable part of politics.'

A bolt from the heavens streaks past.

You cringe in terror.

Vanisse looks around and whistles innocently.

Yoshimi says in a very soft voice, 'What was that?'

Yoshimi says in a very soft voice, 'But as I was saying.'

Yoshimi says in a very soft voice, 'As you can see by my circumlocution, this is disagreeable politics.'

Vanisse says 'This isn't politics. This is me enforcing the rules of the realms.'

Vanisse says 'And you talking a lot to try to get out of it.'

Vanisse pats you on your head.

Yoshimi says in a very soft voice, 'Indeed.'

Yoshimi says in a very soft voice, 'How about this.'

You think long and hard about the issue.

Yoshimi says in a very soft voice, 'I have an idea for a compromise.'

Vanisse raises an eyebrow.

Yoshimi says in a very soft voice, 'I keep Yoshimi as my last name.'

Yoshimi says in a very soft voice, 'Choose another first name.'

Vanisse nods.

Yoshimi says in a very soft voice, 'And after this discussion get inducted into Heralds.'

Vanisse falls down laughing.

Yoshimi says in a very soft voice, 'What do you say?'

Vanisse falls to the ground and rolls around laughing hysterically.

Vanisse says 'Heralds?'

You agree absolutely.

Vanisse says 'Why Heralds?'

Yoshimi says in a very soft voice, 'Because I don't see Vhrael.'

Vanisse says 'I thought your whole life was about Law and Order.'

Vanisse says 'Bleh'

Yoshimi says in a very soft voice, 'When my first name was Yoshimi, it was all about Law and Order.'

Vanisse beats her head into a nearby wall.

Yoshimi says in a very soft voice, 'But changing a name is a big deal.'

Vanisse says 'And last name means time to write boring poetry?'

Yoshimi says in a very soft voice, 'Not boring poetry.'

Yoshimi says in a very soft voice, 'Why are you belittling your own coterie?'

Vanisse says 'It's the generic thing we get.'

Vanisse shrugs helplessly.

Yoshimi says in a very soft voice, 'That's my suggestion for compromise.'

Vanisse blinks innocently.

Vanisse says 'Why do you want to be a Herald?'

Vanisse says 'And, Heralds kind of needs active members, we're inactive enough as it is.'

Yoshimi says in a very soft voice, 'Because I wish to serve the city.'

Vanisse says 'They don't really serve the city.'

Yoshimi says in a very soft voice, 'Well, now we're just splitting hairs.'

Vanisse chuckles politely.

Yoshimi says in a very soft voice, 'Basically, I was never an orphan.'

Yoshimi says in a very soft voice, 'And I never broke the law and got talked to by a guard.'

Yoshimi says in a very soft voice, 'Now that my first name is Pinnalia, I was raised by two loving parents.'

Yoshimi says in a very soft voice, 'Who educated me in the way of the pen.'

Vanisse blinks innocently.

Vanisse beats her head into a nearby wall.

Vanisse says 'You can't do that.'

Cateroth yells 'MOO!!!'

Yoshimi says in a very soft voice, 'And encouraged me to become a Herald.'

Vanisse yells 'Poo!'

Yoshimi says in a very soft voice, 'Why not?'

Yoshimi says in a very soft voice, 'I just did.'

Cateroth yells 'Is ent dangeroos!'

Vanisse says 'You're the same person.'

You boggle at the concept.

Cateroth yells 'Is wants to be a Hoorald!'

Vanisse beats her head into a nearby wall.

Yoshimi says in a very soft voice, 'No I'm not. My name is Pinnalia.'

Vanisse says 'ARGH'

Yoshimi says in a very soft voice, 'The name is the person.'

Vanisse says 'Name change doesn't mean the person changes.'

Vanisse says 'You still have the same background.'

Yoshimi says in a very soft voice, 'The history is attached to the name.'

Yoshimi says in a very soft voice, 'Names are powerful things.'

Vanisse beats her head into a nearby wall.

Yoshimi says in a very soft voice, 'And you immortals are always messing with them.'

Vanisse says 'Now you're just trying to get me to leave your name alone.'

You are now Pinnalia.
