[Hear that? that's the sound of a very perplexed young woman, who doesn't understand why her smartphone has begun acting so strangely]

Hello? What is this? I didn't expect...

If this is someone's idea of a silly little prank, then I'll have you know that it's not very funny. If you're going to laugh at me, at the very least laugh at me for something that makes a little more sense!

Odd? Odd how? And what you do mean, not that odd in your case?

[espigeonage]

Suddenly remembering strange things, or changing physically. I don't know that much. Me, I'm pretty sure I just ended up feeling like being active a little more often.

[threadspell]

That's all? You just go exercise more often? How odd.

What about names? Has anyone had remembered ones that are...different?

[espigeonage]

lol, terrible, isn't it? Makes me sound so lazy. Well usually I am, lol.

Names... I don't know! Of course I haven't exactly surveyed people here on what odd things have happened to them. Seems possible, though. Maybe you had a nickname as a kid?

[threadspell]

Of course not! I'm sure you keep yourself very healthy! It's just - well, it's oddly normal against everything else, isn't it?

No, it wasn't a nickname. Or there is a nickname, but not from my name. It's just - this sounds silly, I know, but it's like my name is meant to be something else. But I've never this name before it my entire life. It doesn't even sound like a real name!

[espigeonage]

I know! I wouldn't even have thought it was related, but I've only felt like this since the number came to mind, honest.

Huh. I know some people who changed their names because something different just felt right, but I can't say what you describe sounds familiar. It didn't come to you in a dream or anything?

[threadspell]

Well, at least you can look forward to becoming very healthy?

It just came to me with the number. Suddenly I just had those numbers, and this other name that I just knew was mine.

[espigeonage]

That seems to be how it is with a lot of people's... things. We should make a name for this stuff. Lagniappe? Omake?

Something extra.

[threadspell]

A name? Well, I'm not sure if I would call it a gift, so I don't know if lagniappe is right. What's 'omake' mean though? Is that Japanese?

[espigeonage]

You've never got a present you never thought about or wanted? Ah, omake is and it means something similar. Something extra.

[threadspell]

have, but at least those gifts were given with good intentions. I don't know if we can say the same for this.

[espigeonage]

Still, I like the aspect of "something extra you didn't expect." We used it like that when I was little, somewhere.

[threadspell]

Well I know I didn't expect it at all!

[espigeonage]

^_^ I don't think any of us did.
