( This is not Peter Graham, though of course, posting anonymously takes away that possibility. The user didn't want to use the boy's network handle, to inevitably be seen through the filter of "Not Peter."

The user is trying to define his own identity. )

why did you choose your title here on this THING
what is the meaning
?
?

( ...Texting is still something he struggles with, though the demon has been watching and learning and forming his own conclusions on how to do it. Autocorrect is a life-saver. Two questions get two question marks. ....Even if they go in the wrong place. )

i will grant you a
GOLDEN COIN
if you
RESPOND

( ...For those who know Paimon fairly well, that particular offer of exchange might betray who he is. But the demon of Knowledge is curious to hear reasons, and within them: perhaps stories, memories, self-perceptions. There is a meaning to everything, whether simple or complex.

And perhaps by the end of it, he will know what title he would give himself, here on the network. )

why did you decide to change it
do you identify as EAGLE more now than your name
?
?

It’s a reminder to act when I should.

( A reminder of something... He's seen a couple of others choose theirs based on the same kind of principle. A word, a concept, that means something... and of course, he's ever-curious, asking further— )

has it been working for you
have you been acting when you should
?
?

[grice]

I haven’t had to, yet. I hope I can when I need to. I don’t want to regret anything.

[possessum]

regret is not an emotion i under stand but i have seen it


wittle away at humans

[ ………… that sounds like paimon speak ]

Did you want a name?

[possessum]

yes i have been using anothers but i wish for my own
how ever it is not easy to create one

[grice]

Do you have a piece of paper?

[possessum]

( Paper...? He does, in fact! Given that he's sitting up in the attic, near his magpie's collection of crafting supplies... )

yes i have paper
many pieces
i also have a hot glue gun

( He just has to proudly mention it... even though this has nothing to do with it... )

[grice]

I don’t think you need a glue gun.

[ he’s imagining an actual gun that shoots glue. if only halloween crafts were earlier— ]

You can take all the suggestions or ideas you’ve had so far and write them down. Then you can choose among them.

[possessum]

( Oh — a list! While the concept isn't new to him, the procedure of actually doing it... is. Paimon doesn't usually write things down; words are strange and hard, and real life doesn't have autocorrect, but...

...it might actually really help, to see them written out? To feel the shape of them himself, to pick out what he likes. To choose for himself. Admittedly, that's new too. )

i see
a choice
of my own

i have not done that before
i believe i would enjoy that
thank you :)

( By now, he's... picked up on some emoticons and things... )

You’re welcome.
I hope you find what you’re looking for.
