i am going to FIGHT YOU

[kicksdogs]

You tried that before and failed so I don't see how that will work a second time.

You put in a good effort though. For a vampire.

[digiorno]

You text me at one in the morning asking me about changing your name, MAKING ME WORRY, without TELLING ME WHY, and then you CALL ME A VAMPIRE

UNBELIEVABLE!!!

[kicksdogs]

Stop worrying about me or else you'll get wrinkles and lose your youthful appearance. You won't look thirteen forever. [He Knows you're seventeen, Gio...]

Pick another name.

[digiorno]

You didn't like that one?

[kicksdogs]

I do, but I can't fathom why it reminds you of me.

[digiorno]

Because you make me feel warm and bright.

[kicksdogs]

Giorno, please.

[digiorno]

NOW WHAT DID I DO

[kicksdogs]

Take me seriously!

[digiorno]

I AM!!

I WAS BEING SERIOUS!!!!!!!!

[kicksdogs]

I want a new name and you're over here telling me to call myself a dying star in Italian because it makes you feel warm inside. I don't think that's being very serious.

[digiorno]

You make me feel warm inside. You wanted me to pick a name that reminds me of you, and that one does! If you want a name that sounds cool, go to someone else, especially if you won't even tell me why you want a new name! But if it was me, I'd want a name that felt like love feels, and love feels warm to me.

[kicksdogs]

Your opinion is the one that matters to me. I don't care what others think.

[A moment between messages.]

I don't know why. Or maybe I do, but I'm not sure how to explain it.

[digiorno]

You don't have to explain it. I just don't know what kind of name you want.

[kicksdogs]

I want a name that isn't owned by some creature in the future. A way to separate myself.

[digiorno]

Oh. Yes, I see. I think I understand.

Then — don't you think it's most important to name yourself how you see yourself?

[kicksdogs]

If I did that I don't think I'd come up with anything particularly decent.

[digiorno]

We'll work on that later, then.

Tell me what you don't like about what I said, and I'll come up with something better.

[kicksdogs]

I don't want to hear that name and think of something as large and bright as the sun. I don't feel like it fits me.

[digiorno]

All right. So . . . you want something that isn't quite so much of a big deal, but also not something that is how you really think of yourself, because that wouldn't be positive. Is that right?

[kicksdogs]

Yes.

[digiorno]

. . . Inizio. It means "beginning". Or Esordio — that's "debut".

[kicksdogs]

[A few minutes pass.]

I like Inizio.
