[text] @clickfly; I have received a fortune message [open]

[theimpatientone]

I am Merwen, for those whom I have not yet shared meeting.  I am hoping to share knowledge.

I received a message from an unliving doll. I thought it was meant to be a prediction, but it seems to be more a description of a place.

If you've got things you want to get rid of or you want to look for treasure among what others have left behind, there's a place where you can refuel in between two places where both actions can be done.

I am still recently arrived, and I do not know Beacon well enough to think where this place might be, or if this is a place I should seek out.

[They pause at the idea, looking maybe a little startled by it.]

Wasn't planning on changing it again, really... I don't know what else I'd call myself. I can't. Hear my old one anymore.

[(Y'do still freak out a little at this one, champ. Just the once. Yeah, well, it's still somethin' to think about.)]

[theimpatientone]

[She shakes her head, still smiling.]

I know. No one is asking you to change anything.

[worthallthis]

How does that work, then? Do you. Keep the self-name part even after you've outgrown it? Or does it come off to be replaced by something new?

[theimpatientone]

Most Sharers keep the same selfname throughout their life. Most selfnames are the sort of thing that you can never truly outgrow, and you carry them with you your entire life. They are things intrinsic to who you are.

[Merwen shrugs a little.]

[worthallthis]

[Well, they suppose that makes sense. They nod a little.]

Okay. We're on borrowed time, anyway. Might not have time to outlive a name.
