Chapter 22 p15 – It’s all in the hips

Cohen, Miranda, Sparrow: . . .
Cohen: My name is Stu Cohen.
Miranda: I know, Dad. None of them are good at faking you.
Cohen: Do I really look like that from the back?
Miranda: Pretty much. Although this guy has better posture.
If you’re a visitor I’m expecting, I’ll let you go. [runes]
His name is Stuart Cohen, though. Double bluff?
Nah, beings can’t actually say, “My name is…”
Every time the name thing comes up in comic, I keep thinking, if I got a Being? One of the first things I’d do would be to ask them, “What would happen if I commanded you to say your name?”
If I would get a Being I would try to not break it immediately. Just asking is probably safe, but they wouldn’t know, never tried.
Yeah, I wouldn’t want to break it either, but it’s hard to resist the urge to poke at the edges. Just have to control my curiosity and accept “I don’t know” for an answer…
90% they’d just respond along the lines of…
“I don’t HAVE a name. I am known as , or , but those aren’t My Name.”
I am known as the [Beast Type] or [name you gave me]*
