[Yeah! It's fine! Everyone should listen to what Scaramouche says is important because clearly a god would only care about important things!
Anyway, he looks satisfied enough with that and decides to leave furthur teachings of torment on hold for a moment. First, because he knows how people are:]
[He just SIGHS and rolls his eyes like sasuga humans tbh.]
People always feel the need to name the nameless. [And then, gesturing to Nameless:] Give naming yourself a try. A name that you give to yourself is something no one can take from you or hold over your head.
There are several ways you could say it in my language, but most are homophones for other things... [Considering fantasy Japanese is just regular Japanese.]
[me just like WHAT IS HAPPENING WITH THIS POOR BOY HELP ME
Scaramouche just nods, though! Hell yeah! Being a quitter is good sometimes! He quit having gross human feelings and he quit the Fatui and he quit not being a god, he's been quitting his wholeass life.]
It's not a bad thing, to quit what you're better than and leave it behind.
[HELP DON'T JUST QUIT BEING ALIVE even if that's what they all did... It's fine, at least he's in good company.
Also that is A Question, and it's only because Scaramouche has decided that he finds Nameless acceptable that he doesn't immediately say some rudeass shit about it. He even gives his answer a moment of contemplation! After all, it's a complex headache, as most things are with him.]
You could say that. I did in any way that matters.
He just hums in response to the thanks, though. Unfortunately he appreciates being thanked in situations where thank yous aren't necessary.
After Nameless tests the sound:]
What do you think? Does it feel like it fits? Does it sound good to your ear? If it doesn't, you can always find another. That's your right in choosing your own name; change it however many times you want until you're satisfied. If something no longer fits, then change it again.

Okay. I'll remember what you teach.

Has anyone tried to give you a name yet?

no subject
The names he's heard so far: Everybody in hell. The demon's work names. Rider. Archer. Caster.]
My own name... [The first two words he ever managed to say were Straße/Gehen.] Gehen?
no subject
His head cants to the side, somewhat curious since it's an unknown word to him.]
What does it mean?
no subject
It has a many different meanings. The common ones are "to go" or "to leave".
no subject
Do you like it? The sound of it, the meaning.
no subject
[It would've been nice, if he was able to leave where he was.]
I don't know about the sound.
no subject
Hm. There are plenty of ways to say "to go" or "to leave" in other languages. Do you know any? One of them might sound better to you.
no subject
No. It's the only language I've heard.

no subject
Can I hear them anyway?
no subject
Nokosu. Saru, tachisaru. Idetatsu. Mikiri - that one has a meaning closer to quitting or defecting rather than walking away.
no subject
[He considers each of them.]
I like Mikiri, but I don't like the meaning. I don't want to say I'm quitting.
no subject
no subject
He shudders.]
In context I do like it.
no subject

no subject
Nameless quit his entire life, but absolutely not on purpose!]
Did you also quit something you were "meant" for?
no subject
Also that is A Question, and it's only because Scaramouche has decided that he finds Nameless acceptable that he doesn't immediately say some rudeass shit about it. He even gives his answer a moment of contemplation! After all, it's a complex headache, as most things are with him.]
You could say that. I did in any way that matters.
no subject
Anyway.
He considers that answer too. Scaramouche has more experience with leaving than he ever has.]
Thank you. [Because he does appreciate it, when somebody answers his questions. He's aware there's no obligation.]
Mikiri... [Testing out the sound of it once again.]
no subject
He just hums in response to the thanks, though. Unfortunately he appreciates being thanked in situations where thank yous aren't necessary.

no subject
He does like the sound of it. But as for something that "fits", that's hard to decide on when he hasn't existed for very long.]
It can be changed. [he's not a traded Pokemon! He can pick what he likes.]
For now, I think it satisfies both conditions.
no subject
But! He nods at that! He's not a traded pokemon nor is he bound by 2x namechanging scrolls, he is Free.]
Then use it if you'd like, and change it when you want. A name is often the first step toward carving your own path through the world.
no subject
Nods to himself.
He doesn't really mind a lot of different names, it means he can test them out.
There's something almost funny about being able to carve it in hell, but such is the ay of the world.]
