It has been brought to my attention that I failed to introduce myself properly to the network. This is what happens when your sole contact in town was raised by wolves.

Good morning. I'm Daniel Arlington, usually called Darlington to differentiate me from the four previous Daniel Arlingtons. I am recently assigned to the Special Collections department at the Great Library, which I've learned still includes making people wear gloves before handling fragile texts, but also includes preventing them from being bitten by particularly aggressive literature. Pleased to meet you all.

A question, while I'm here: do those of you who used magic in your worlds of origin find that your magic has altered at all since coming here?

[Filtered to Stern]
There is little more humbling than attempting to look up local history, finding yourself bereft of any context, and discovering that you need to start in the middle grades section of the library. I was able to move through it quickly, but my ego may never recover from the initial shot.

Have you ever had people sing "Danny Boy" at you?

Stiles, Darlington. Darlington, Stiles. You both hyperfixate over random shit. Play nice.

You'll like him. Or you won't.

Yes, it's usually one or the other.

Can I get that on a card? I think I need that on a card.

By all means, make yourself a card.

You don’t really have a sense of humor do you?

Maybe I don't care if you think I'm funny.

Also, fuck you, I'm hilarious.

Yeah you’ve got me in hysterics with your introductions there. I’ve got soul mates I confide in less.

I figured you'd be self-explanatory.

Okay that’s probably fair.

Uh huh. Darlington was my-- student advisor at Yale. Expert in all things spooky that go bump in the night. Research, research, research.

Loving the subtle hesitancy via typing there. That’s very clever.

I’ll have to quiz him on a few things then.

Why would people do that, my name isn’t Danny.

Fair enough, man. I don’t use my name either. Not that it’s a song.

How did you end up with Stiles as a nickname?

My last name is Stilinski.

Makes sense.

I wonder if anyone's ever done a study on the propensity of Polish surnames toward being primary forms of address.

I usually took pity on teachers trying to read my name. But mostly I just prefer Stiles.

I don’t know. Sounds like an exciting study though dude.

Someone in sociolinguistics ought to look into it. Or maybe not; it might be my imagination that surnames ending with -ski are more frequently latched onto than others.

Maybe it’s just that catchy as a name. You know, like how pet names so often end in “ee” sounds?

That or our first names really just terrify people.

I suspect they are catchy. I just can't help but wonder what the catch is. Multiple syllables? The aforementioned -ee sound? And what about the human brain likes it so much?

People like diminutive sounds. You know, “cute” words. Bunny, sunny, funny. All that.
