0180 : Beautiful
Last night was so wonderful!
I was scared at first because last time it was dark all day, I think there were bad things around - but maybe the bad things were only in my head, I don't always know.
But the lights and, oh gosh, everything were just so pretty! I went up to the roof of the Library and watched from there almost all night and then I was so tired I just went to sleep in the Greenhouse. It's nice and warm in there, so it was okay.
Did everyone else have fun?

But, I am glad to hear no one had been hurt when that happened.
Re: [Video]
Of course, lots of things are scary, I guess. I'm just not so brave, probably.

[The City always managed to find new 'scary things' to throw at people. Even supposed accidents like this could cause a scare. ]
It is a very good thing that you were only watching from a distance.
Re: [Video]
Told you I'm a scaredy-cat.
But I can be brave when I have to.

Excuse me, Ms. but what was your name again?
Re: [Video]
My name is Rain.

Re: [Video]
Oooooooooh... That's a wonderful name!
So sacred!
Did the ancestors give it to you?

People in Rayearth are named after cars. ^,^]
The ancestors? Well, no. I believe my parents were entirely responsible for it. Our last name is 'Vision', I never really asked why they decided to add 'Eagle' to that.
Re: [Video]
[She's a little sad about that, but well, that's okay.]
Eagle is considered a very sacred bird, so with the Lakota, if you'd been given the name Eagle Vision it would be considered a very powerful name.

Is it? Nearly everyone I have run into seems to think it is an unusual kind of name.
But, your people consider it powerful because of a bird?
[This is fascinating to Eagle! ]
Does your own name have a meaning too in that case?
Re: [Video]
[She blushes a little and smiles.]
Uh huh. I got it on my vision quest - when I went to cry for a name.
It started raining right away and it rained and rained for three days and no one came and nobody answered my call and I was so so sad, I thought, I thought that even the ancestors didn't want me.
I cried all the way back to my grandmother's and my dad was waiting and he dragged me away and I just cried till there were no more tears. And then somehow I just knew. They had answered me.
I was Rain.
[Video]
Your lucky you ended up with one that was well suited to you then.
Rain is a cute name after all.
Re: [Video]
The ancestors always know the right name for someone.
[Video]
[How could he? This is all very alien to him since he did come from another dimension altogether. ]
Re: [Video]
Well... I guess... You get a name when you're born. But then to get a real name you kind of have to earn it, you know? You have to cry for a vision and then the ancestors will send you something and that's how you find your name. The elders can help you figure out what it means.
[Video]
That is very different than my world. We don't chose our names at all. They are just given to use by our parents.
Re: [Video]
I don't want to be her ever ever again.
[Video]
[Difficult childhood maybe. ]
The future is a more appealing thing to fight for than the past anyway.
Re: [Video]
Mostly, I just hope I get to stay here forever. I have my little house in the woods and the greenhouse and the Library likes me and... And people are nice to me here.
