Who: Our Lady of Peace & War and YOU hopefully
Where: Alfred Tea Room
When: 138, afternoon

[ IT'S A LIVE WITH A NEWBIE ON TRR. She is dressed quite cutely (though in more of an aqua-ish color than the purple) and has a little array of small sandwiches and cups of tea. ]

I apologize for the lack of a proper setting, but I'd like to hold a naming ceremony regardless. Please join me for my first naming celebration as a new member of your community.

So, what would make you feel more comfortable?

I feel as though names might be important, but the one proposed to me felt a little distant. So I would like to be able to introduce myself and share a drink or something. . . Mm, I hadn't thought this through yet, but since our 'Lives' would also fall under this, two birds with one stone seemed easiest. . .? I might have been too ambitious. . .

I assume you're not interested in going by your profile name.

Were you hoping for someone else to suggest something better? Or do you think the suggestion will feel better once you claim it a bit?

Is it too inconsiderate if I say that I wasn't sure? I figured I should jump into things as fast as possible, hesitating seemed like it would only confuse me more.

That's fine, but if you want suggestions, I think you'll have to ask for them.

Oh! I completely forgot somehow, you're right.

Mm. A name is something pretty significant... some people won't feel comfortable offering one without an invitation. Especially when you're having a whole ceremony for it.

. . . I seem to have done the thing I was trying to avoid, but you're right about that as well. I'll have to think these things through a little more.

...It's fine. You're new, right? You don't have to do everything right right away. Even if there was a right way to do these things.

Just arrived earlier, actually. Thank you for your patience.

...

[snorts a little]

I'm actually not sure I've ever been thanked for my patience before.

I hope you're not offended, but I appreciate it still.
