text; un: 0123

Those of you with familiars, I have a question - how do you name them? Did it give you any trouble?
What happens if they don't like it?

It doesn't feel like naming a pet, or some future family member. Waiting for inspiration to strike hasn't worked yet.
And now I'm starting to feel like I have to give this phone a name, too.

[Jeez, he's also a fake and he's right here, don't confuse him like that! But he gets the idea this time, thankfully.]

OK, then I'm not using those names for sure. I have someone waiting back home.
What you're saying is, it's fine to just let the phone talk without naming it anything?

[hey man, he doesn't know your life.]

Uh huh

Whatever you want to do. It's not like you naming your phone is any of my business. My phone isn't chatty.

[scension]

Yeah, until a little while ago, mine wasn't either. It would be less of a headache if it went back to that.

[awooligan]

Weird.

Hey is it reading this?

Yo phone, what's up? 0123 wants you to be quieter

But in the meantime, you got ideas for your name, phone? What about for the familiar? Make those words count.

Ever the optimist, Sagi puts the phone down and watches it expectantly for a good couple of minutes. It does nothing. It's a phone. It wasn't even talking in the first place, that was just the only intuitive description of whatever it started doing recently he can think of.]

I waited for it, but I guess it can't read after all. Or type.

[Too bad.]

[awooligan]

That's probably for the best. You called it a headache, dude.

[scension]

Almost literally. I'll try to ignore it from now on.
