You are a sprite. Today is your one hundredth birthday. This is the glorious day in which you may finally get a name. Unfortunately, you must name yourself. With so many names to chose from, which one shall you chose? You feel somewhat apprehensive because you cannot change your name after you chose one.

What is your name?

Author's note: I've been reading Homestuck again...this is a great time to do this thanks to the vacation which many of us school dwellers receive. I'm looking forward to your witty commands and comments! ~Terminal which tried to solve PI and got an Eternity

2: Naming Shenanigans

Ireallylovesuperlongnames occurs to you, but you shake your head. While you super love long names, this feel really fabricated.

John Egspite? This is an epic name, but....it doesn't seem right for you. Maybe you could recommend it to someone else some day.

After a minute you think of Squirtle. You are very dumb, because Squirtle is a very bad name and you also get a very strange COPYRIGHTUS VIBE from it. It sounds like you want to squirt water or something. Heck, you even think of a strange shelled creature. What the heck is wrong with you? If you think of anything else which is THIS dumb you will bash your head on the wall.

Megido. What a wonderful revelation. You've finally found-

Wait a second.

WAIT A SECOND!!!

NOOOOOOOO!!! You are so happy you didn't decide on this name, because it reeks with a COPYRIGHTUS VIBE unlike ANYTHING you've ever encountered! You don't even want to think about this name! It sounds somewhat sinister girl with a touch of foolish bully. You are not a girl, you hate bullies, and you are trying your best NOT to be sinister. This is the most totally ironic name for you and one of those bullies would totally want to give to you if they won't give to themselves. This is the worst-

Your head suddenly hurts. You must have followed through with that promise to bash your head on the wall. Oh well, atleast you just forgot what you were raving about. Anyway, you decide to try again at finding a name.

3: A name at last

You mentally write out some more names, and suddenly a huge flood of them starts pouring out.

You go through a few of them...Icantdecideonaname sounds rather...blunt. You do not think it reflects on who you are. Tenebris is too dark for your likes. You already have a friend named Thomas, and if you name yourself that, then what would he think? You don't really like Derk...

Xavier Kestrel. That's your name! The last part makes you think of flying creatures, which you happen to adore. You have no clue what Xavier means, but it sounds unique, anyway.

Now that you have that out of the way, what will you do?

Vanilla's suggestion on something to do!

Removed first and original post.

My original post in all seriousness was not ment to write your story but simply to suggest some of the feelings I got from your story.

So as part I wrote out a scenario.
I will from here out refrain from doing so.
I also apologize for any bad intent it may have looked like I had, I was not trying to steal your story or write it out for you, it was not ment to harm anything either.
/bow
/sorry

But to leave a little of my suggestions to still be here.
Go to a celebration
Walk around town
Go home and rest
Go on an adventure

Again I was not trying to take your storyline, I merely just don't like just typing, "go on adventure" I rather type a whole paragraph on what Ide like to do or see happen or in a way give a better suggestion.

But I see why you wouldn't want something like that so I removed my post respectively and replaced it with this sincere apologie and my suggestions on what to do.

/sorry
/bow

Sincerely,
Blue-Elephant

BLUE-ELEPHANT IS A TRESPASSER. ENTERING ANNIHILATION MODE:

Rapidly tosses 3 BABs, all primed to explode.

I'll do a real part tomorrow. Please, don't write my story. Despite the fact that others are still giving commands, there are a few major plot line points. Although how those plot points will be reached I don't know, I'd rather not have others deviating from my very abstract plot line.

Further more...it's rude...maybe...as a robot, all I can say on the rudeness is that I THINK it would be rude, but I can't tell what is and is not rude. I apologize in advance. xD

4: Examine Bedroom

You decide to examine your Bedroom.

This is your little cove of happiness. You have a variety of interests, most of which are very scholarly and knowledgeable. You have a bed, which you recently got out of. And there is your writing desk, which you do your homework on. It also has a wrapped present on it which is addressed to you. Then there is a bookshelf, which is filled with some very scholarly books on scholarly topics. On the wall is a fancy clock, which you constructed from one the instructions of one of your books. Next to it is a window which you recently opened. Outside you can see very colorful snipes which are flying happily. Finally you have a small portfolio for holding your artworks. You aren't a good artist, but you try anyway.

Hastily retrieve arms from safe??? Don't be silly! You don't need arms, and you don't even have a safe! However, your father has a heavy safe which he stores a secret book which you only got to peek at once. (And a very harsh lecture afterword.) Instead of arms, you have a pair of stubby psychokinetic appendages. You can focus your psychokinesis at objects using these handy appendages, and you'd be lost without them. For that matter, any Sprite doesn't want to be caught dead without them...thank goodness they're part of you!

You get many consecutive urges to eat cake, but you don't have any! You are self-conscious about your weight, but it can slide for just a birthday. It takes a couple of years to lose a pound, but you can't gain one in a single day!

You think about Kresnik, your teacher. He is very very very very very scholarly. He is your role model and you want to be just like him when you grow to be a big sprite. Rumor has it he killed a vampire...but you don't know what a vampire and find it hard to believe he would kill anything! He wouldn't hurt a fly! (Whatever a fly is...)

Auther's Note:

Blue-Elephant, sorry. :P Thanks for understanding. While our little Sprite will go on an adventure, I have a little more in store. I appreciate the suggestions, though! Anyone else can suggest if they want to. I just didn't understand at all that Elephant was merely suggesting something, and thought he was writing the story. Sorry! >.<

"Poor Blue-Elephant is going to explode...?"

OH SNAP YOUR RIGHT! Dives for BABs and tries to diffuse them. After doing one, ET turns to another and-BOOM

Oh, these are the prank bombs...not the real...ones....

4.1: Hallmates?

You get a strange notion to get familiar with your hallmates, but as it turns out you do not live in the college/school/whateveryouwanttocallit, but actually your father's house. (Because you live right next to the school.) You've also known all your classmates for decades now, and you don't really need to familiarize yourself with any of them.

The wrapped present on your writing desk begs to be unwrapped! But you still aren't sure if you should just let it sit a little longer to let the excitement of a wrapped present such as this one build up.

5: Pearly Snipe Stone

(Text that looks like this comes from commands/comments.)

You stare at the present and wonder, "Why did I get just one? It's my centennial! Have I been forgotten, TODAY? This present is almost mocking me! It's such a-

Wait, what present? There is no present here. You spot some very snugly snipes in your window sill. You can't resist to run over to them and cuddle them. They oblige. You totally forget about the thing which you were trying to forget about...what was it? It was...wait this is really dumb you tried to forget about it for a good reason, so you'll not think about this thing and continue to-

What the heck?

They've all suddenly flew away, leaving a small white object. You first think it's a biological waste or a reproductive egg or something gross or weird, but it turns out to be a pearly stone. It glistens with a light which doesn't feel quite natural. When you touch it you can hear distant voices. You can't seem to make out what they are, but you feel that the pearly stone which the Snipes gave you must be important. Snipes don't give Sprites things unless they are important! (Or so you've heard.)

You decide to put the pearly stone on your desk and-hey when did that present get there? You suddenly remember the thing you forgot, which was this wrapped present. You have waited long enough! Here comes to moment of truth!

...

......

.........

............!!!

OMYGOSHICAN'TBELIEVEITTHISISTHEBESTDAYEVER it's more wrapped gifts. Whoever sent you the wrapped present either wanted to individually wrap a multistaged present or several persons combined their presents. There are four boxes, each with their own colors. The colors are pink, cyan, yellow, and white. Which will you open first?

Ouh Ouh Ouh!!!

Let the pearly stone choose~!~!

But of course I would vote for the cyan one to be last cyans so pretty it should stay that way before we rip it to shreds right?
Pink is a lovely color, yellow to has its moments! Expecialy when you go to parties and see all the nice vibrantly shiny yellow rings and lights shining and glittering, we should save that too..

Then there's that white one, really white? Well I guess it's not Truely a color but more a shade but then again the pearly stone is white right? And it's pretty, I still feel we should open the white one first I think the pearly stone could agree on that if it could right?

So white, yellow, pink, cyan?

Yesh I thinks so~!~!

6: The cyan present!

You grab the cyan gift and rip the paper off it. You find a heavy book entitled Giant Guide to Snipe Behaviors and Songs. You are ecstatic! You've been wanting this new book ever since it came out a week ago. You are so happy that your friend got it for you. Now that you think about it, you are really proud for the certain friend who gave this to you, because (if you are guessing right) this friend forgets practically everything!

You aren't really sure which present to open next...maybe yellow?
