23. You can hide beside me, maybe for a while//And I won't tell no one your name

[handy_psychic]

So.

Ah.

You guys know how pretty much every time someone new comes here I talk to them, as you do, well I don't really mean talk I mean talk as in talking to them over the journals which I still count as talking even though some people don't because it's a good way to communicate and sometimes they explain why they chose their name to me and I figure that it's only fair if I do the same to them and I tell them that I picked my name because in my dream I heard the word "bridge" several times so I named myself after a bridge because it seemed like a logical thing to do, yeah?

Turns out my name is Bridge.

... I'm just gonna curl up on my futon and feel stupid now.

Her real name's Rose. :P *BUZZER*

Don't feel stupid!

My name is probably pretty cat-like and I might feel silly, too..

[kanin-gitarist.livejournal.com]

But you're nots stupid.

How dids you learns your name?

Mother fucking Ping of all Pings

[redrobinhood.livejournal.com]

Wha--



Bridge?

<3

[handy-psychic.livejournal.com]

Hmmm, yeah. It's impossible to know what your real name is unless you're lucky enough to find out, so I won't worry too much about it.

[handy-psychic.livejournal.com]

Yeah, I suppose not. ^_^

I went to that big upside-down island in the sky, and it turned right-side up when I walked across the bridge leading to it, and I met a nice guy named Adam who apparently knows me. He kept calling me Bridge, and I made the logical connection.

[handy-psychic.livejournal.com]

Ah, yeah...

Are you alright or did you just drop your pen?

[inthecenterfold.livejournal.com]

A name's not everything, you know. Gotta back it up with a person.

[handy-psychic.livejournal.com]

Well, yeah. ^_^ Last I checked I was all still here.

[redrobinhood.livejournal.com]

Ah..yeah. Sorry.

How did you figure it out? Where were you? Is Spike ok? What the hell is going on?!

Bridge. Bridge. Yeah. That's it.

[inthecenterfold.livejournal.com]

That's not what I meant...

Like you're still the same person. Call yourself Daisy-pup for all I care, still the same guy.

I kinda like the idea that a name's something you should give yourself, not something someone else gives you.

[handy-psychic.livejournal.com]

It's okay! I'm fine, he's fine, we're all alright.

I went to that big island in the sky. It's not aliens, it's a place called Rivelata. I met a nice guy named Adam who says he knows me personally, and knows of you and Spike. He kept calling me Bridge, and it suddenly clicked in my mind...

[handy-psychic.livejournal.com]

Ohh, I gotcha.

I like the name Bridge. I think that's what I'm going to go by from now on.

he's in the batman log, its incomplete

[redrobinhood.livejournal.com]

Rivelata eh? Yeah I met some folks from there. They were kinda weird.

Wait. He knows me? Like he's from our world? Our past?

[inthecenterfold.livejournal.com]

Your choice man. Just don't think it's stupid if you like it that much.

[handy-psychic.livejournal.com]

Oh, really? I didn't know that.

He knows of you, yes. And yeah, I think he's from our world, but every time he talked about it, I couldn't hear a lot of what he said. Bastet said that's happened to her before, too.

[handy-psychic.livejournal.com]

Oh, I don't find my name stupid, I was saying I feel stupid for hearing it in my dream and not realizing it was my name.

[inthecenterfold.livejournal.com]

Dude if that was the case, then I could be Pervert, Lech, Now, Che, Living, Just...

Get my point? Names are weird things.

... Don't know your family do you?

[handy-psychic.livejournal.com]

Hmm, yeah. Still, that was the ONLY word I heard in my dream... but oh well, it's immaterial now.

And no, I don't remember my family at all.

[inthecenterfold.livejournal.com]

Huh. For some reason I felt like you shoulda' learned something about your family along with that. I dunno why.

[lost-in-osaka.livejournal.com]

Name's are just names, ain't they?

Could still call ya Brooklyn.

[blondsambitions.livejournal.com]

Bridge, huh? You wants me to calls you dat now?

And don'ts be a crybabies. Has a drinks or something.

[handy-psychic.livejournal.com]

Probably 'cause Bridge is kind of an unusual name, hmm.

[handy-psychic.livejournal.com]

Well, names ARE just names but they're still important 'cause without them we wouldn't know what to call each other, would we?

I'd actually like to be called Bridge from now on. I like it. ^_^

[handy-psychic.livejournal.com]

If you don't mind! Of course, like I told Bastet, I'm not expecting everyone to remember it right away.

Huh, I was actually thinking of going to Smoke's for a while today. For some reason, getting my name back is something I feel like I should be celebrating.

[lost-in-osaka.livejournal.com]

That's what "Hey, you!" and "Mister" is for, I think. 'till we go n' make somethin' up or find out.

Could call ya BB. Like, Brooklyn Bridge. Could also call ya London Bridge, dunno why, but it makes me think I remember somethin'. But then again, maybe I don't, as I dunno what a London is.
