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.]

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

[excelsus]

A youth culture, sounds like. You said you were part of it, have you outgrown it?

[inconstantly]

[What a question.]

it's something that always stays with you, at least somewhat. i no longer have any interest of being in a band but i still enjoy the music, react strongly against the idea of hierarchy, and wear combat boots under my trousers

[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.

[inconstantly]

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

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

[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.

you're right, sounds like my kind of lot

do you associate with any of them

[excelsus]

Of course I do, her name is Sera.

Can't say I particularly understand the way she thinks, but she does play a good and proper game of "your people are shit."

[inconstantly]

i likely wouldn't enjoy thedas as you say

but it's good to know that if circumstances were different we could still have our fun

pointing out your shit would never change, that much i can tell you

[excelsus]

I survive the political bullshit, monster hordes, and the freezing cold with aesthetic. Every now and then there is an oasis of beauty, and if you drink enough wine you can overlook the giants stomping all over it.

I never let the rot get in the way of fun though.

If you stopped giving me shit about my shit I would think something's gone wrong with our association. It's the reason I adore you so.

[inconstantly]

in my experience with enough wine you can overlook just about anything

you only like me for my mouth, how terribly disappointing

[If there were talking in person a wink would go here.]

[excelsus]

Whatever our differences, that is one thing we can both agree on.

[though the arguably agree on many things.]

I can only be honest, I do enjoy the lingually gifted
