[bakaomi]

That's kanji.

[ he pulls a pen out of his pocket ]

Give me your hand.

[divus]

[ambition shakes her head]

You want to write on my skin? Ridiculous. Utterly ridiculous! [she reaches into her sleeve and pulls out a scrap of paper.] Write on this like a civilized person instead.

[bakaomi]

It's called using soap.

[ binch

but he will write out the word ambition in kanji and then shows her ]

[divus]

[


yeah she's never gonna remember that, but she nods]

[bakaomi]

That's your name.

[ he figures he should

point that out ]

[divus]

Oh.

[squinting behind the mask]

How is it pronounced?

[bakaomi]

Yashin.

[ the time between you sending this tag and me replying was googling ]

[divus]

[motherfucker did i seriously pick sincerity's icon instead of ambition's]

Huh. I guess it could sound worse.

[bakaomi]

[ i'm gonna be honest i somehow didn't question it ]

It's not that bad. [ ... ] Why did he want to name you after Bambi, anyway?

[divus]

Something about the first part of my name reminding him of that movie.

[bakaomi]

... ambi?

[ squints ]

[divus]

Yeah. [She shrugs.] He seemed to like it, so I let him go with it.

[bakaomi]

He's definitely done worse.

[ see: every name he has for taka ]

[divus]

Yeah, like what?

[bakaomi]

Bakaomi...

[divus]

What's so bad about changing one letter in your name?

[she doesn't speak japanese, b-baka]

[bakaomi]

Baka means idiot! It's an insult!

[divus]

[ambition cracks up laughing, sorry]

[bakaomi]

Oi!

[ FUCKIN RUDE ]

[divus]

[I MEAN...]

Why haven't you just changed your name? Then he can't use that nickname for you anymore.

[bakaomi]

...

It's normally not that easy?

[divus]

If you know the right people, it's the easiest thing in the world.

[can't relate]

[bakaomi]

But that's a lot of trouble just for that.

[divus]

So you're just going to let him call you stupid all the time? Ridiculous.

[bakaomi]

If I change my name just for him that makes it feel like he won.
