18. The Name Game

[handy_psychic]

... You know, it never occurred to me before now that I need a name for Robodog, since you gotta name all of your pets even if they are robots. Now that he's REALLY close to being done (in fact, maybe even later today!), it's time to pick one!

Anybody got any suggestions? ^_^ I was thinking "Junk" except that's not a really nice name for a pet even if he IS made from stuff I found in the Scavengers' Yard...

And just how are you able to construct an animal purely out of scrap parts? Certainly, it would not have any form of intelligence?

[handy-psychic.livejournal.com]

The parts all seem to match one another, though. And I got a Memory Crystal a few weeks ago that showed me I've built one before. So I'm pretty confident that it will work. ^_^

[extsviet-shelke.livejournal.com]

How interesting. And you are able to craft something with AI just out of scrap parts? You could probably make a profit if you figured out how to make something more useful to the population, such as computers.

[handy-psychic.livejournal.com]

Yup! Of course, seeing my memory really did help- it was a little strange, since I couldn't hear anything, but I could see and touch.

Hmmm, I'm not sure I could build a computer, but now that you mention it... I should keep a lookout. Being a Scavenger can be useful sometimes!

[extsviet-shelke.livejournal.com]

Given the right tools, I am pretty sure I could make a basic Operating System, should you ever get the chance to build the physical computer.

[handy-psychic.livejournal.com]

I'll keep that in mind, thank you. :) That's a useful skill.

If it ever happens, it might take some time, of course- it took me a month to find all of the parts for Robodog.

[extsviet-shelke.livejournal.com]

I could temporarily pick up the job for a scavenger and aid you in finding such parts. It seems that my request for another job was rejected due to the current events.

[handy-psychic.livejournal.com]

Oh, that'd be great! I mostly work during the day and early evening, myself, so if you want to stop by even before then...

What job did you try to apply for, if I may ask?

I wonder what he's expecting... |D

[extsviet-shelke.livejournal.com]

I will stop by whatever time is convenient for you.

Hatchery Guard.

He HOPES for a lot, but doesn't expect much XD

[handy-psychic.livejournal.com]

Ah, that makes sense. Wouldn't want to accidentally let an evil double into such an important position... those guys are freaky.

Any time is convenient for me! Except if it's not but if it wasn't I wouldn't say so so- yeah.

Haha, so not even a supposedly 9-year old would surprise him? 8D

[extsviet-shelke.livejournal.com]

I have signed up for the position. I will contact you once I get a response.

However, if the Junkyard isn't limited to just Scavengers, we could schedule a meeting earlier than that.

Whoops, I thought you were referring to what they'd find in the scrapyard XD

[handy-psychic.livejournal.com]

Sounds good!

Yeah, it's open to everybody; I just find stuff for people for a living, and end up fixing a lot of it, too. We can meet sometime this week, if you want!

oh lawlz, and a Tuesday is fine, later if you want, and then we can just backdate or somethin'

[extsviet-shelke.livejournal.com]

Tuesday, then?

Sweet!

[handy-psychic.livejournal.com]

OK, I'll see you then!

[shiro-yasha.livejournal.com]

If you're gonna name a dog "Junk" it'd better have the goods to back up the claim.

[redrobinhood.livejournal.com]

HA!

[shiro-yasha.livejournal.com]

It's a bad name, no one deserves such a thing.

[handy-psychic.livejournal.com]

... wait, wha-

....... Oh. OH! Ah, ah...

[shiro-yasha.livejournal.com]

Seriously, think about these things first. Do you want to have to tell people you need to go clean up after Junk? Or maybe you have to wash your Junk?

[handy-psychic.livejournal.com]

I think it'd be pretty funny myself. ^_^ But, you do have a point. Maybe I'll name him something more sensible like Murphy...

[shiro-yasha.livejournal.com]

Oi oi oi! There are kids around here too, right? It'll be funny until some angry parent complains about things.

Murphy? You're willing to deal with all the crap that's going to go wrong?

[handy-psychic.livejournal.com]

Uhhh, that's true.

... Man, I really suck at this. I'm someone else can come up with something better, though.

[shiro-yasha.livejournal.com]

Use the first name of your first pet and the name of the street you were born on. Easy way to come up with a name.

[handy-psychic.livejournal.com]

Hmmm, except I can't remember either of those, unless I wanted to name him after Spike's cat and it would be confusing if we had two Toms in the same house. Blood said Barky von Barkenstein... I don't think there's anything too awfully wrong with that!

[redrobinhood.livejournal.com]

You're almost done? Woah. I wanna come see it, Brook.

Ah...I dunno. Spot? Rover? Spike Jr?

[handy-psychic.livejournal.com]

You're welcome over any time! I am SO PSYCHED for this to be done. ^_^ I was hoping I could've gotten it done sooner, but of course our evil selves had to come in and wreck it...

Hmmm... Spike Jr., huh? Or how about London, since I keep saying I could've named myself that? I'll have to think about it some more.

you know, they're edging on a ping

[redrobinhood.livejournal.com]

Heh. Naming things for random cities?

We should really ask Blood, she's the great namer. Hmm..Zap? Sparky? Tin?

[handy-psychic.livejournal.com]

Yeah, I'm not very good at naming stuff... heck, I named myself after a bridge.

Oh, that's a good idea! I like Zap, but I'm sure she can come up with a bunch of different ones.

[pinkhairedchild.livejournal.com]

Barky Von Barkenstein!

[kanin-gitarist.livejournal.com]

I likes that one.

[pinkhairedchild.livejournal.com]

Ain't is awesome?

he is so amused by his 'family'

[redrobinhood.livejournal.com]

Heh. Its a long name. Longer than all three of us.

[handy-psychic.livejournal.com]

Oooohhh, that's kinda cute! ^_^ I can call him Barky or Von or Bark or... Arky for short.

[pinkhairedchild.livejournal.com]

Yeah! I also like Ruffles though!

[handy-psychic.livejournal.com]

Even better! Unless I get any more suggestions, I think I'll settle on Ruffles.

ping ping ping

[susstraumen.livejournal.com]

Junk?

That'd be a perfect name for a horrible little creature like a dog ~desu.

[handy-psychic.livejournal.com]

Hey, dogs aren't horrible! Especially not this dog- he's really cute! For a robot, anyway...

[lemonshine.livejournal.com]

What about Logan?

[handy-psychic.livejournal.com]

Ohhh, I like that one. ^^ Logan McRuffles!

[lemonshine.livejournal.com]

McRuffles? Where'd McRuffles come from?

[handy-psychic.livejournal.com]

Blood suggested "Ruffles" for a name and it sounds better with "Mc" in front of it if it becomes his last name. ^^

seriously, keep making her laugh! :D

[lemonshine.livejournal.com]

It's so silly but it works! :)

Gladly <3

[handy-psychic.livejournal.com]

Well, and Kitty suggested Sparky or Sparkster below and now I keep rearraging those...

Sparkffles McLogan? McSparky Rufflogan? It's making my head spin.

bless the dorks! <3

[lemonshine.livejournal.com]

What about Sparky Logan McRuffles?

[handy-psychic.livejournal.com]

Yeah, I think that sounds good. ^^ I still can't quite believe he's almost done...

[lemonshine.livejournal.com]

So I can see your robodog soon?

[handy-psychic.livejournal.com]

Of course! Believe me, I'll be spazzing all over my journal when he's done and I'll let people come over to take a look.

TEE HEE OBSCURE GAME REFERENCE IS GO

[saleskitten.livejournal.com]

Sparky!

...Sparks? Sparkster?

8D

[handy-psychic.livejournal.com]

Sparky Logan McRuffles!

Or Logan Sparky McRuffles... or Sparky Ruffles McLogan... or Ruffles McSparky Logan... or... McRufflogan Sparkles?
