Muse's thoughts on being reserved at DDD; Canon is 'Lewis'

[justanothercop]

Ducks? Of all the places you thought of putting me and the one place you never considered is the one you're dumping me in - not to mention ducks. What do ducks have to do with anything?

I just don't understand you. Not in the least.

I think the ducks don't realy mean anything.

[justanothercop]

Then why even have it in the name?

[number1112]

I don't know. I didn't name it.

But it's a nice place.

[justanothercop]

Hmm. Well, it certainly looks nicer than the other places she was considering.

[number1112]

Some are awful.

[justanothercop]

So I've seen. Tell me, are you at this Duck place? I mean, I assume you are or at least were at some point.

[number1112]

Yes. I am. It saved my life.

[justanothercop]

Saved your life? What do ya mean by that?

[number1112]

I was trapped... somewhere. I wouldn't have gotten out without the community's help.

[justanothercop]

That right, eh? Oh. Should have introduce myself sooner - Detective Inspector Robert Lewis, Oxfordshire CID.

[number1112]

I'm 11-12.

[justanothercop]

Eh?

[number1112]

That's my name. I know it's unusual.

[justanothercop]

Oh.

[Dear. How to handle this?]

Do you have a preference on what I call you? I mean, some people call me 'Bob' and I really don't like that. I prefer 'Robbie' or 'Inspector Lewis'. How 'bout you?

[number1112]

I prefer my name - 11-12. Eleven Twelve.

A friend around the community calls me Eleventy though. And another one recently said I should be called Maverick.

[justanothercop]

Very good. 11-12 it is. I don't particularly like it when people don't call me by my proper name - least not if they aren't a friend.

[number1112]

Yes. But I've come to expect some odd comments about my name.

[justanothercop]

Sorry to draw attention to it. Bad manners on my part.

[number1112]

It's a natural reaction, away from my home.

[justanothercop]

[Shrugs] Still... Ahhh. Any ways, that aside - you like this Duck place. Anyone interesting there, 11-12?

[number1112]

Plenty of interesting people around there. You'd always find somebody to talk to.

[justanothercop]

Talk? I'm not really the talking type.

[number1112]

You're talking now.

[justanothercop]

[Of course, you'd have to go and point that out...]

I mean... be forced to talk. I understand that the way this place works is I have a device which pops up whenever it wants and after a while I don't have a choice but to talk so it will go away.

[number1112]

That's right. But I've never had that problem. I was happy to find other worlds.

[justanothercop]

Other worlds...? Really?

[number1112]

Yes. There's so many of them.

[justanothercop]

[listens to what the mun says]

She says the device lets you talk to all those different worlds if ya like. Is that right?

[number1112]

That's right. Just like this community does too.

[justanothercop]

Oh. Hadn't thought of it like that. Huh. But this community - I only have my words or voice on it when I want to. This Duck place is different. And... if she's going pull me from the spot in my timeline I think she is well - well, I really would prefer not to go anywhere.

[number1112]

It can be awkward with things you have to go through.

[justanothercop]

Yeah, awkward. I don't like awkward when it comes to my life.
