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.

Um, hey there. Ah, Ruby Rose, here. I'm new, but you probably figured that.
[Okay, she's definitely a little bit nervous. Ruby's not exactly what one would call a social butterfly - she definitely got comfortable enough with Beacon to make friends there, but that's not really relevant anymore. Once she had any downtime in Atlas, she didn't know what to do with herself. And now, THIS? Is a lot to adjust to.
She fidgets and clears her throat.] So, got a tiny question, here...
I think I kinda get the whole familiars thing, but mine is, well... it puts me in a bit of an odd place.
Basically, has anyone ever gotten anything that should be a soulless killing machine back in their world? That, I don't know, would've been born in power surrounding your world's greatest evil...? [That, back home, she has a power specifically meant to ERADICATE things like the Grimm, AKA the very form her familiar has taken.] Anything like that?
[She realizes she's being very specific here.]
Because I'll be honest, the fact my familiar isn't trying to eat me, or anyone around me, is almost more unnerving than if he was.

[The image of one Yang Xiao Long comes up on screen, but for those of her that know her, there's something obviously off about her. What, exactly? The chunk of golden-colored hair that's currently being held in her fist instead of sitting on her head, is what. What's more, Yang looks absolutely pissed.]
Excuse me... [She seethes through gritted teeth] But does anyone know who has a bug familiar with scissors for hands? I'd like to have words with them.
[She takes a deep breath, and then tries to speak more calmly.]
Also, is there anyone out there that can... [she motions to her hair situation] ...help me even this out? I'm new and not sure if there are any hairstylists in this city I can trust just yet.
[Note that there is now a fiery crater in the middle of a street somewhere.]

[This is a youth who has communicated over the network a handful of times; sometimes through writing, sometimes through audio, and even a couple of times through video. But, always without an account, and only once saying his name in the open.
But there are things one can glean from his voice even without digging and listening for anything that sounds like him. He sounds like a young boy — not overly young, but somewhere on the cusp of adolescence, only just starting to get that tinge of masculine tone, not having yet broken into the deeper notes of adulthood.
He also has a distinctively English accent. Received Pronunciation, in fact.]
I've been contemplating something for a little while now.
While there are weapon shops in Camelot, their range of wares is... shall we say, limited.
One sword, or knife, or whatever your choice of weapon isn't necessarily equal to another of its type in every given situation, especially when the supernatural is involved. Certain metals work better against certain enemies... at least as far as my experience goes.
It would also be nice if we could find a way to create a magic incendiary and put it in a bottle or something of the like for those of us who aren't able to wield fire magic on our own, as it happens to be the only known weakness of the Bear Firs in the Brocéliande. That may be tricky, though, since the Brocéliande can interfere and interact with magic in odd ways. But I imagine it would be a useful thing to have if the same creatures end up present in the Dusklight Woods, or any other area, really.
That being said, would anyone care to work together on weapon design and development?
