UN: purrusu | day 4 POLL

[beguiledcard]

[ At the very top of the message, it does, in fact, say "POLL."

Also this is sent out like a mass text, so everyone can see everyone's messages. ]

I'm sure a lot of you have met our blue friend with the golden tassels by now. He says most people just refer to him as "Carpet."

Nothing against simplicity, but I feel like anyone with a personality and/or an obvious ability to feel emotions deserves a proper name.

{poll} What should we name the one formerly referred to as "Carpet?"

(1) Cordelia
(2) Alfred
(3) Poly Esther

... I'm actually going to let all of you toss out suggestions, and then we can just go with the one that seems most popular.


[ OOC: because of how this is set up, all threads are at risk of being threadjacked here...!!!! GO WILD, FOLKS. LET'S PICK THE BEST NAME!!!!

Why not just call him what he wants?

If his name is Carpet, isn't that what we should be calling him?

[This totally completely random message catches Ignis' attention for several reasons. One, because it just came out of nowhere, two, because it's a poll, and three, because apparently there's a blue, golden-tasseled individual who goes by the name "Carpet."]

Those are all very lovely names. However, perhaps he would prefer something more rugged?

fuwa-chan


[ Yeah. Fluffy. You read it right. ]

[ Really he agrees with the people suggesting that a sentient carpet might want to choose his own name. So he wasn't going to respond.

But this can't be allowed to pass unremarked. ]

Really?

[beguiledcard]

He specifically told me to call him whatever I want, then said that Carpet is what most people default to.

So, I figured why not make a team effort to pick something and let him decide which one's his favorite.

[ebonyengine]

Really what? Are you really so floored by the idea that he may want something that sounds a little less like it came from the royal court?

[a2brutus]

There's nothing wrong with a name that people default too. Besides, you shouldn't give someone else a name so easily!

[beguiledcard]

[ Since this already happened, he's not going to be as detailed. ]

Carpet is more of a lazy nickname than a name.

Careful. Add too many names to the list, and the whole thing could unravel.

[ You're rude and your mother dresses you funny. ]

I just don't want to see anyone sweep aside someone's right to choose their own name.

[ a... carpet. alright... ]

Should we not consider its feelings on the matter first?

[beguiledcard]

When there's no thought behind it, it takes the entire meaning of being given a name away, doesn't it?

[a2brutus]

Who gave you your name? Did you agree to it? How do you know there was much thought behind yours?

[countersway]

Still. We're not his parents. If he's comfortable with being called Carpet, that's good enough for me.

Matt!

I wanted to say something clever, but I think I'm blinded by how cute this is.

[thinhammer]

Oh my GOD

[beguiledcard]

[ HE AGREES SOME DIGNITY WILL BE GOOD, IN THE END... ]

You're right. A proper name is what I'd prefer to go with, in the end.

What kind of personality would you say they have?

[agonybolt]

What? Too many names can get confusing. I wouldn't want his nerves to fray.

[THERE IS NO ESCAPE FROM THIS, JOSEPH.]

[axecop]

It doesn't help if you keep adding to the pile.
