Everyone's got a name or at least something close to it. But do you guys know what your names actually mean, or the reason you were given that name? We give pokémon names to set them apart, but does the way you name yours mean anything special? I just named this guy Lemon Twist since he reminds me of striped lemon candy.

[It’s been a boring day, for once Killua didn’t feel like doing something insane. Instead he’s just laying on his Dunesparce.]

It's interesting when you think about it: someone or you yourself has been given this word to identify by and it could have some really deep mean behind it. It could be something that a person thought sounded cute but in the end it's pretty sucky for you. For example, someone could have named their kid after a word that sounds cool yet it could mean horse-shit in the language its from.

I sort of lucked out with the way my parents named me and my siblings, but it has me wondering about everyone else. So tell me what your names mean.

Oh, wow! That actually sounds like a lot of fun! Getting to travel and create new foods no one's seen before... wow! [ Huh. Possible new dream get? ]

What exactly do you have to do to become a hunter, anyway? You mentioned an exam? An exam where... people were trying to kill each other? [ Gulp. ]

The exam is different every year, so no one knows what the test will be. There are life and death situations, but they don't try to make you kill anyone. However, the first one I went to a had a guy going around killing contestants but that wasn't part of exam. That guy is just a twisted asshole.

There was other one that wanted new people to fail, he was an asshole but not as bad as the twisted guy.

[No one is as bad as hisoka except maybe Killua's oldest brother.]

L- life and death situations? [ Eep. ] And how do I know there won't be a crazy killer in my exam? [ Mimi shivers. ] Maybe this isn't the life path I should be looking at after all!

...Wait a minute. [ The gears are turning in Mimi's brain. ] I've never heard of anything like hunters before... Where did you say you were from, Killua-san?

I'm from Earth, though probably not the one you're thinking about.

[ A different Earth? ]

...How many Earths are there, exactly?

I'm not sure, I never got around to asking but it's probably a big number maybe even infinite.

Infinite? Wow! [ Mimi's eyes go wide as she pictures an infinite line of Earths stretching into the distance. ]

Asking who?

I guess you haven't been here all that long. But there are loads of people from different worlds. There is no telling where they came from without asking.

I kind of just assumed that most people were from the real world! My real world, I mean. [ Though as Mimi thinks over the list of people she's met, she has to admit that a fair few of them did seem to be from different worlds than her own... ]

So does that mean that even the ones who said they were from Japan - they might be from a different Japan than mine?

Exactly, the history could be similar be certain events could be completely different. This doesn't even take into account that the times people come in at will be different too.

For example, someone can come from the same place as you but be from several years in the future or hundreds of years in the past.

That's amazing! I don't know how this place does it, but it can really bring people together from all over, huh! Do you think there's any kind of pattern to who shows up here, and where and when they're from?

There isn't any real pattern, but if you show up here there is a chance someone from your world might. Sometimes a whole bunch of people come from the same place over time.

Oh, I hope you're right in my case! I really want to see my friends again... They're sure taking their time, though! [ That was supposed to be lighthearted, but it comes across as kind of sad. Mimi hastily tries to move the conversation forward. ]

Has anyone that you know shown up here, Killua-san?

Yes, his name is a Gon. We're traveling together right now.

Really? Oh, that's great, Killua-san! I hope you two are having a good time together!

[ Mimi means it, too. She may still miss her friends from home, but she's glad someone else has found one of theirs. ]

We certainly are, not to mention we're dating, so everything all good. [He's having a blast.]

You're dating! Oh, Killua-san, that's wonderful! Sharing your journey with the one you love... could there be anything more romantic? [ Mimi's gone into sparkle mode again. GOD I LOVE LOVE ]

[ ... ...Wait. ]

This person you're dating... He's a boy?

...If you say so.

[He should have braced himself for gushing she seemed like the type.]

Yeah, Gon is a guy.

...Huh.

[ Give her a minute to process this. She's a 10-year-old from 1999. ]

Boys can date boys?

Yeah, people can date anyone they want, in this case I'm dating my best friend Gon.

Oh.

[ ......... ]

Cool! You're so lucky to be able to date your best friend! I wonder if I could date a girl?

If you want to date a girl, go for it, it's all about love and caring parts really.

[ A whole new world has opened up for Mimi. ]

Thank you, Killua-san! [ Possible fantasy dating scenarios: increased by 100%. ] Maybe I will date a girl someday!

[ Let's recap: this conversation has gone from name meanings, to assassination, to career choices, to the existence of multiple worlds, to discovering bisexuality. This sure has been a day. ]

Good for you. You still need to find a girl you like though.

[These are normal topic transitions when you talk to Killua. ]

Maybe I will find one! Or a boy! In fact, maybe there already is someone I like! But that's a secret, hmm~? [ Mimi winks and puts a finger to her lips. ]
