I understand some of you are reluctant to change your names or use a different moniker when we make the drop in 1916's Gallipoli. If you're not from a standardized Earth, I suggest you reconsider. If you need assistance, I'll assign you one myself. You don't have to consider them names but codenames to be discarded after we return to BASE.

An example of this: Rider is now Kale. I told him I would notify you all of this alteration.

Think wisely about the impact small things could have on a timeline. They add up and any amount of skepticism brought about by our foolishness is too much. Thanks.

Change it you idiot

[crownless]

whats your name gonna be, then!!

[handsomefoil]

henry mccauley
I've been blessed with a relatively classic first name
Also got a back story.
Want to hear?

[crownless]

huh, i'd buy that one

[he makes a mental note to, unfortunately, steal that for himself. they're not gonna be able to help looking like twins when they've got the same face and don't have fashion sense to distinguish them anymore.]

well go on, shoot

[handsomefoil]

Mccauley answers the call to arms in search for glory and purpose
He was already enlisted in the British Army, grew up in a military family
His brother followed, the propaganda of the war too enticing to ignore
Not to mention, if he didn't, they'd probably use some excuse to say that Ireland did nothing while the British army was out there defending their countries
Couldn't have that
And what could go wrong in having your literal brother fight by your side?

Mccauley had a reputation due to his levelheadedness
Friends call him Cooley

A simple and somewhat vague story but believable.
We're not the type to freely spill the details about our lives after all

[crownless]

[THAT certainly makes his life easier.]

Hell, I actually almost believed that
nice job, just vague enough for me

[Travis pauses to reread the whole thing over again-- it's quite good, really-- before, well, taking his chance to... nitpick...]

how come i'm the brother who followed you around huh???
make my half more badass

[handsomefoil]

Thanks I try

[ He expects this and he's already ready for this answer. ]

I figured it would be easier to remember, as it somewhat resembles our current situation
Not that you followed me in any way, but you certainly came into the business after
If you have something you'd like to change, come up with a backstory on your own time

[crownless]

Yeah, Travis Mccauley is the cooler brother
and he joined up because he's got balls of steel and not bc his twin brother did it first

[travis....]

[handsomefoil]

But the fact that he still joined after his brother still stands,
doesn't it?
But if that's how you want to tell the story, I'm sure nobody will question it
Could think you're just blowing steam out of your own arse

[ he he he, it's nice making fun of travis. keeps his mind off of other things. ]

[crownless]

[he's actually taking it in good humor this time...]

Yeah great. Even as a fake dude from the early 1900s youre still a killstealing fuck, Mr. Sir Henry Motherfucker lolol
i'm not the only one farting out hot air here

[handsomefoil]

My story is consistent and easy to remember by making parallels to my actual life :)
I've been doing this sort of thing a long time
I'm just much better at it than you
