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.]

The last three missions have been on Earth, so I think about it a lot.

Sorry.

[lonelywar]

I believe it is probably safer to assume it is a great deal of danger.

Our interference in their plans so far is certainly not something they will treat lightly.

[lonelywar]

[It is certainly within Ryuji's right...

...though it will never be so simple or easy for Ashitaka to accept that so readily.]

I do. I will have to be more cautious in the future. We all will.

[Says the guy not bothering to use a pseudonym in this next mission, but, like he said, they know literally everything about him, as far as he can tell, so it's all a pretty moot point in that regard.]

Please let me know if you decide to act upon this. I will want to at least be at your side.

[Because he's definitely not going to let Ryuji spearhead this alone.]

[excelsus]

Good luck with that then, though I'm certain they would find eradicating my ancestors to be more trouble than it's worth over a name.

They certainly found the attempted kidnapping of me to be a bit more than bargained for.

[excelsus]

[One would at least hope you outgrow the hair, because that's a crime against nature.]

Some might call that a form of intellectualism, well the strong reaction against the idea of a social hierarchy anyway. It sounds like you'd find yourself with the Red Jennies where I'm from.

[dorzalta]

It's faster than ravens to communicate. What do you use?

[ Well... she's glad someone else appreciates the name. ]

If you're not laughing, do you truly find it funny? It seems like you're lying, then, if you say lol when you're really not.

[ Omg more words Prompto why she's still a newb. ]

I see. And how is one expected to respond to tldr?

[bivariant]

"Kel" is not a surname, it denotes factional belonging. You could always say "fuck convention", especially now that we're in a hierarchical food chain -- where you owe me no respect.

Be a little cautious. You're not as safe as you may hope, as your rank means that you are the most tantalizing target for any Aranean who wishes to test her mettle. I'd hate for something to happen to you.

[bivariant]

[ that's some tsun shit if you were actually a tsun ]

By all means, then. Is it a given name, or a surname?

[omniavincit]

I couldn't figure yours out. I still can't figure yours out.

It's a children's book. The spider spins messages in her web, trying to save the life of a pig. It's been a long time since I've read it.

[omniavincit]

[ Logan would. Stripped of his surname, Logan would be an entirely different person.

But he doesn't have to think about that anymore. ]

I think a name can give you permission. If that's what you need.

[inconstantly]

there's nothing simple about the name, man

but i'm hoity mctoity now anyway so what does it matter

[gerechtigkeit]

It's more of the matter that I don't see much use for being in court compared to being out in the fields as a knight. I'm familiar with the lifestyle and have been since a young age, as it was required of me since I was a boy.

I'm hoping it won't come to that, but it may have to.

[thoughtimight]

I don't much care for it.

She talks to the pig? That's a strange friendship.

[inconstantly]

[Nah, he was more about the Sid Vicious look.]

if they're any kind of anarchists it's likely a safe bet

[jailbirds]

what, just "cheris" ?
don't think even i've ever called someone older than me by their first name lolol
i don't really have a problem with it tho

[ also the fact that she used Minatsuki's speech patterns to make her argument is definitely endearing. ]

awwww how sweet of you
but i mean it
i'm nothing but a liar by nature after all
i'll fit in there just fine

[thoughtimight]

Will you act differently?

I don't mind.

I'd just rather know.

[desynched]

That's one way to put it. At least I've gotten a few good laughs.

Wow really?

Your identity is safe with me, Iosef.

I'm already famous back home but I figure they'd have to know where and when to look.

I hope. :/

[omniavincit]

You don't?

[desynched]

It's ok.

We can be paranoid together.

[thoughtimight]

No.

I know you.

[mylawn]

Be careful. You don't want to end up like me.

[excelsus]

[It could be worse.]

Something like that. The Friends of Red Jenny generally punch up at the upper class when the upper class punch down on the little people, revenge schemes essentially. It's a leaderless resistance.

[mylawn]

If they can hack into our network, then yes. We need to be fixing that.

[widow_of_the_crag]

Your name is a mouthful, my lady. It's pretty, but quite a bit to say.

[widow_of_the_crag]

There is always resistance before every mission, I imagine. They will grow used to the way of things soon enough.

Help me choose a name.
