If you know you're dying and won't be coming back, what would you die for?

I know I would die just to save one person. How sad it is that we don't have that choice here, yes?

Yep! But I'd rather people lie like that. Then at least I know who they are.

[justthedriver]

You can see lying people and know who they are? At least if people don't give names, you know you know nothing.

[whatsupcroc]

Still nicer to have the face of Nothing than just an anonymous idea!

[justthedriver]

Will a name do?

[whatsupcroc]

Yep! Doesn't even need to be honest. Just a name that's not an obvious joke, like "Nobody" or "Anyone."

[justthedriver]

You can call me Michael.

[ Headcanon: his full name is Nikolai Mikhailovich Luzhin. Mikhail is his dad's name, hence Michael. ]

[whatsupcroc]

In that case, thank you, Michael!

[justthedriver]

You really like that?

[whatsupcroc]

Mmm! Yeah. Why do you ask?

[justthedriver]

It's just a name. I've never thought it means anything. Or is it because I gave it to you?

[whatsupcroc]

You got it! It's because you gave it to me. That's what makes it nice.

[justthedriver]

[ There's quite a long pause. Nikolai is putting his face in his hands and laughing because he gave a fake name. Christ, Collette. ]

You should give me yours then.

[whatsupcroc]

( Like he's the first to have done that! Look, she wanted to date a guy working under a pseudonym. She even knew it had to be one! )

Collette. Like my tag says! Just Collette.

[justthedriver]

It's a pretty name.

[whatsupcroc]

Thank you! I think it's French, which is funny, because I'm totally not French! Mom was from England, and her dad was from India, so sometimes I think it has to do with my father, but mom never said.

[justthedriver]

You don't know your father to ask?

[whatsupcroc]

Nope! Never met him, actually. Makes it hard to ask!

[justthedriver]

He must have never met you then.

[whatsupcroc]

Other than when I was a baby? Nope, I don't think he did! His loss, though. My mom was a fantastic lady, and my brother isn't so bad, either!

[justthedriver]

Does your brother know your father?

[whatsupcroc]

Yeah, he was around until Phil was eight, right when I was born, so he knew him.

[justthedriver]

[ I apologise in advance. ]

Did he run away because of you?

[whatsupcroc]

( lmf don't even worry )

Sure seems like that was the case!

[justthedriver]

Good job.

[whatsupcroc]

I was a very ambitious infant.
