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.

I'd be happy to talk about it any time, it has a very long history and some things that don't quite translate well into English.

[A pause, she twiddles her fingers awkwardly.]

Oh, come now, you don't have to say something like that. All of the ferry women back in my world are named after flowers.

I do know a few things already and i think our languages might be a little similar at this point. It doesn't hurt to know more.

[Fun fact Killua knows how to curse in Japanese, Italian and Russian. Being in this world has been a learning experience. ]

Why not, it's true. Besides out of all the death god and such I've met you're the most colorful.

Hmm, only because black is a boring color and I refused to wear that for my uniform.

[Yes she is implying that the pink kimono is, in fact, a uniform.]

...Although I have to say, I think you're one of the few people to never ask if my hair is dyed. [Which it isn't and how dare anyone insinuate >8|]

Black would give away what you are, wouldn't it. You can't have spirits flying off at the sight of you. [At least that his understanding of it.]

...Wait, that's not a normal thing? [This is new to him, hair comes in a rainbow of natural colors where he's from.]

Tell that to Yusuke, he got mad at me for not wearing black when we first met.

[A moment, she tilts her head.]

It's perfectly normal for me and the Spirit World. It's the humans that are unnaturally preoccupied with it.

Killua Zoldyck: What is going on[personal profile] killer_sweets on August 21st, 2014 09:57 pm (UTC)

I'm betting he'd still be mad even if you were wearing black, since you aren't scary. And tend to get pissed over weird crap.

[This is kinda blowing his mind.]

Back were I'm from your hair would be pretty normal. Mine is naturally white and if you take a really good look at Gon's hair it's actually dark green. I thought that was one of the few average things about my world.

Oh, yes, he was also mad at me for the following: Not being a skeleton, not having a scythe, not wearing a black robe, being a woman, and saying "Bingo!"

[He just likes getting mad, she thinks.]

I wonder if I should tell Yusuke that his gel makes his hair look green. Maybe he'd stop using it, then again green might be one of his favorite colors.

If you were a skeleton it would have been hard to tell what sex you were. I am not surprised at all that stuff pissed him off, he gets hung up on details sometimes.

[Which is weird because Yusuke doesn't seem to think about the details, so much as react to them.]

He wears a pastel green uniform, if he thing the gel makes him look cool he'll keep doing it. Which I'm fine with, it doesn't change the fact he looks like Gon's dad.

...Huh. Now that I think about it, he does look like he could be related to Gon, doesn't he?

We're just one big happy family, do you mind if I call your boyfriend my little brother as well?

Hmph you can go right ahead, he'd probably be pleased with that.

[Oh god it was like Gon and himself were married, as the sister in law. He's sort of pleased but mortified by his own thoughts.]

I'd be honored to be considered part of his family, just as I'm honored to be considered part of yours, Kil.
