I'm not going with Ace.

[It's extremely sentimental, but that's Jason's nickname for him, he doesn't want anyone else calling him that.]

Asa doesn't sound that bad, I guess. If a name that starts with 'A' is better than Aoi might work.

i was going for a names because i figured they'd be easier on you

it's your name, your choice

Not a fucking choice I think I like having. It's

It's confusing, I guess.

[He's had existential crises before, he's a little worried this might cause another.]

For all I know Aoi could be my real name. I don't remember what it was, but I know it was common and had three characters in it.

Asa is only two. That might be better.

Did you have this much trouble coming up with your first cover name?

i just used john smith
went as generic as i could, i'm not great at making shit up

we can go with asa

( the next text comes with--a bit of a delay. )

your "real name" doesn't need to be the one you were born with

Really? That's fucking boring.

[He would've expected Jason to pick something at least a little more dramatic....

'Asa' isn't dramatic, but it's more interesting than like, Taro. And it's kind of a play off of 'Ace,' which he likes (because he likes dumb things like that, not that he'd ever admit it).

The idea of him having an actual, honest-to-god name is still really bizarre to him, but....]

I suppose it doesn't.

When you were adopted did you change your last name?

no
i don't match the rest of the circus

Why not?

i don't know
and i'm dead anyway so it doesn't matter much anymore

You were dead. You're not anymore.

i'm legally dead

Is it that complicated, or are you just accepting a bunch of bullshit? People end up legally dead without ever having died and they get things straightened out. You could probably do the same.

( why are you like this. )

if i came back from the dead, they'd have to figure out how to explain why they keep telling me to fuck off
and why i've been missing for almost ten years
and why b hates my guts
