Part 1: How Clamp gets the idea for character names:

Nanase: "ARGH. I have NO IDEA what to name this person!"
Mikku: "Hm… how about, 'dog girl'?"
Nanase: "No… that won't work..."
Mikku: "OH! Just use my name!"
Nanase: "…Mikku?"
Mikku: "Hm… what about 'Nekoi'?"
Nanase: "Oh well, its not like the readers will notice the difference…"
Mikku: "Mrow?"
Nanase: "What about this girl?"
Satsuki: "Hm… 'digital girl…'?"
Nanase: "No…"
Mikku: "Oo! Just use Igarashi's name!"
Nanse: "Igarashi?"
Mikku: "No, no! Satsuki!"
Nanase: "… Now that's weird…"
Satsuki: "No way! No one will notice!"
Nanase: "…"

Part 2: How Clamp came up with the title "X":

Apapa: "This new manga is going to be great! But I wonder what we should call it…"
Igarashi: "Hm..,. how about, 'End of the World'?"
Okawa: "Uh… too general. Something else…"
Mikku: "AARGH!!"
(everyone rushes to see what had happened)
Apapa: "WHAT HAPPENED?!"
Mikku: "THE CAT!! LOOK WHAT IT DID!"
(everyone stares at wall)
(large scratches on the wall)
Okawa: "Hm…"
Mikku: "'Hm'?! How could you say a thing like that? That wallpaper was expensive!"
Okawa: "You know… 'X' has a nice ring to it…"
(everyone stares at the "X" scratches on the walls…)
Everyone: "…"

Part 3: How they cleaned up the (ahem) pieces of Saya-san and Tokiko-san:

Apapa: "Boy, that scene came out great!"
Okawa: "But our floor is so … stained,"
Apapa: "You'd think the police would be suspicious of us?"
Okawa: "Well, there has been a report of a serial killer out there…"
Apapa: "… Get a broom and mop."
