Goodness no, but imagine the headlines! You don't happen to be one, do you?\" His smile is excessively broad and his eyes almost water with hope. \"You have no idea how brilliant that would be! A place like this admired through the eyes of a true stranger. No, no, no need to answer,\" he waves his hand, \"Shouldn't get my hopes up. I'll let your writing answer my question. Now, go out there, write your _self_down in beautiful prose, and put it in my letterbox when you've done so. Now! I'm afraid I've got some errands to run, so let's talk again later! Ta ta.\"\n\nYou are all but shoved out of his office.\n\n**Be polite and social.**\n\nYou decide to be polite and social. You look around the lobby of the **_Chronicle_** and see the wolf is still there. You approach the wolf.\n\n\"Oh. Hey.\" His attention is focused on his notebook. You spot a whole lot of writing and a couple of sketches. \"What's up? You got Quinn all excited.\" He gives you a half-smile. \"I'm Jake. You?\"\n\n**Be internally frustrated because you don't know your own name.**\n\nIt appears **names are important** if you want to be social. What a surprise.\n\n**Name yourself.**\n\nEven if just a nickname, it's time to add a moniker to your amnesiac existence. At least you can introduce yourself that way.\n\n_What is your name?\u0026nbsp;_\n\n* * *\n\n**HOW TO PLAY**\n\nComment below with suggested actions for\u0026nbsp;our hitherto unknown male Corgi-weasel\u0026nbsp;protagonist.
