If I could have a moment of everyone's time.

I learned not too long ago that there was a man calling himself Frankenstein here. I was wondering if anyone recalled him, and if so, could you tell me everything you remember about him? I would appreciate it.

Thank you.

Ah, so you're wondering if an alternate version of you is wandering around?

That's fair.

[jolting]

Well, no. I thought it might be my brother.

Though now I do wonder about the alternate version.

[luckyescape]

Well, technically, Frankenstein is the name of the scientist in the story; not his creation. So if you're Frankenstein, looking for Frankenstein, it sounds like you're trying to find yourself.

Why would it have been your brother? Is he also named Frankenstein?

[jolting]

Yeah, I know my own name, thanks.

Of course he is. "Frankenstein" is our last name.

[luckyescape]

How am I supposed to know that? Also why don't you go by your first name?

[jolting]

I do. Not many people remember it, as "Frankenstein" is much more iconic.

[luckyescape]

What's your first name?

[Quickly finds him on Friendr.]

Victor? That's a pretty baller name, I'd remember it.

[jolting]

[a shrug that she won’t see] Whatever works.

[luckyescape]

Do you not like the name Victor?

I named a voice recorder Victor.

[jolting]

I like it fine. It's just not what people normally call me.

[luckyescape]

Okay, want do you prefer to be called?

[jolting]

Doctor would be fine.

[luckyescape]

That's what you like to be called?
Okay, if you say so.
