[ the feed starts abruptly with the corner of what appears to be a book covering a small portion of the camera. it shows a slightly awkward angle of Riku and the Replica tucked in a corner of the library, deep in conversation: ]
These books are stupid. These names are stupid. [ the Replica sighs, throwing another book on the desk while Riku continues to flip through his book. ]
What d'you want me to break out, kid's books? There's got to be a name you like somewhere in here.
Probably wouldn't make a difference. I don't want to be called Chris, or Mark, or Lucifer? What do they even mean?
Uh, let's steer clear of Lucifer. I don't know. I know 'Riku' means land. 'Sora' means sky... I think. 'Kairi' has something to do with the ocean. There's got to be something that says what they mean somewhere in here.
[ there's a moment of brief silence before the Replica snickers. ]
... Land?
Land, or earth, I thi--... what?
Nothing. It kind of works... you're stubborn enough, I guess.
Wouldn't that mean the same for you?
I never said I wasn't.
Maybe we should name you 'Volcano'. You're always ready to explode.
[ no sooner had Riku said it before the Replica grabbed a book and threw it across the table at him, aiming for his head. Riku barely even glances up and merely leans his head to the right as the book goes sailing over his shoulder. the Replica scowls at him. ]
Once a jerk, always a jerk.
I don't hear you rejecting it.
It's dumb enough that it shouldn't even be suggested, let alone be rejected.
At least I'm suggesting things. What about 'Virgil'?
[ silence again. this time the Replica seems to be considering it, head lowered a little in thought. Riku looks up from his page and quietly waits for his opinion. after a moment: ]
.... Does it mean anything?
[ there's a wry smile from Riku ] Strong.
Okay.
[ as the Replica (now Virgil) stands to gather up the books, he finally notices the tablet and quickly turns off the feed with a resigned sigh and a quiet groan.

[ taking shots at the Real Thing whenever he can is what he does best. ]
Yeah. He suggested it, surprisingly.

Surprising? What makes it so surprising?

He's pretty lacking in the creativity department. Comes with being a stick in the mud all the time.
[ which isn't... entirely true, but whatever. details. ]

[He wasn't helping the name thing either, is what he means.]
