Before Gallipoli, it was discussed that we should come up with aliases to call each other, and have backstories to speak of while there was downtime in the war. At the time, we knew the Regency was there, but they wouldn't be so visible. It was enough to not be asked too much by the natives of the time, and allowed us the conditions we needed to blend in as a unit of reinforcements that was beached at the wrong location.

The situation may be different here, but I'd suggest we come up with different aliases from before, considering we'll be facing the Regency out in the open. Using your actual name isn't suggested- it could cause problems and endanger the rest of this cell if you do so. Try to pick something you'll remember easily enough.

Feel free to suggest names and ideas for yourselves, or help others. The BCE has a list of them you can pick from. The sooner we can compile a list, the easier it will make it for all of us to recall while in the middle of the mission.

[Boy, talking like this is a reminder of speaking with soldiers before battles. That was a long time ago, and he's getting back into the hang of it. Also, guess who's bad at suggesting names? THIS GUY. Thankfully, the BCE has a posh name generator that can be found here.]

[thoughtimight]

I won't. Thank you.

[excelsus]

I suspect they'll eat you alive for mixing up the salad fork with the dinner fork, my dear.

[excelsus]

Punk?

[Yeah, he's pretty sure you mean something different from what he's actually thinking.]

Suppose I'll just have to whisper it in your ear then.

[desynched]

You're right. I should go with Annabelle Bentley.




But idk do you think I could pull off Laura?

[inconstantly]

i know better than that

i may not be a gentleman but i am exceedingly good at pretending

[mylawn]

I was going to say you look like a Laura, but that might just be because it's close to your real name.

[desynched]

It makes it less suspicious if people slip up.


What about you?

[excelsus]

How are your dancing skills holding up?

[inconstantly]

punk is a form of counterculture where i'm from, typically made of people who see no future for themselves within the current framework of society. punk is angry and bleak, but also full of energy and careless humor. instead of just being angry people acted out to facilitate change, typically through music or political demonstrations. there's a whole aesthetic associated with it too that i'm sure you would hate

this is very much the condensed version

[inconstantly]

passable

[excelsus]

and how did this counterculture turn out?

[excelsus]

you took to the gamboling dances they were attempting to teach?

[inconstantly]

like i said, passable

not the best but i can fake it well enough

i was a musician in a past life after all. it's not too far of the mark, if not exactly what i'm used to

[inconstantly]

don't you dare insinuate that punk is dead, raisin

[excelsus]

i've nothing with which to compare, except for you.

[excelsus]

really? like a bard, without the whole assassination association?

They teach us that growing up as well, my education was somewhat expensive. You sing, play the lute or some other instrument, learn to waltz, but most importantly you learn your family tree all the way down to it's dankest nethers.

[omniavincit]

Sure.

I like your name, by the way. Not ridiculous in the least.

[millimeter]

mind ravens??
omg is that what you guys call the network???
that's so good wtf
MIND BIRDS!! i kinda want to call it that now
but we don't have anything like this exactly
the bce is WAYYY more advanced than what i'm used to tbh

oh, yeah they're there to convey emotions and tone through text!
it just doesn't have to be EXACTLY what you mean
like if you find something funny you say lol but you don't have to literally laugh you know??
sometimes it's p awkward if you're standing around irl and suddenly you laugh at your texts lmao

[NOT THAT PROMPTO HAS ANY EXPERIENCE WITH THAT...]

and yeah, usually you say it when you wanna sass someone bc they wrote a lot

[mylawn]

76.

[inconstantly]

like the leader of a rowdy band that demanded attention

you have to know that leads me to ask: how is your singing, dancing, and lute playing?

[inconstantly]

its first iteration mostly just transitioned into other genres and movements, then came back again 20 years later which is what i was a part of

currently punk less widespread but it still has its circles of subculture

[desynched]

:|

[mylawn]

It's an alias. It's more of an alias than all these other names.

[desynched]

It's related to back home.

[mylawn]

Yeah, and nobody knows who I am back home, either.
