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.]

lol "cruella"
sounds like you should be wearing stilettos and a dress with a thigh high slit

[reillumination]

Don't be an idiot. Take mine as seriously as you take yours.

[ shut up wow you don't know how good he'd look or not in that ]

[jailbirds]

haha what, you want a pretentious jp name too?
then go with ryuugamine or something
竜ヶ峰 the highest peak of dragon mountain
if fancy bullshit english names are supposed to be long, we can make long names w/ complicated kanji

[reillumination]

I can read it just fine. I grew up in Japan.

My father was an academic. Most of the Western names listed here don't even compare to the names I've seen scattered around his desk. "John Joseph Campbell" and "Thomas Randolph"? Yeah, it's only fair our names are just as flashy.

[jailbirds]

i can't even say those stupid names

ryuugamine probably works as a surname, like some kind of old blue blood family
and for a first name just
maybe 天皇??

[ tennou, emperor. ]

tennou ryuugamine, holy shit
i'd never fucking talk to a guy with a name like that

[reillumination]

It isn't worth the trouble anyway.

[ lbr satan's probably not a fan. ]

Yeah. I'll be taken as a typical human anyway in their hierarchy, so anything old blood like that should work.

[ wrong on that count. ]

I wouldn't talk to me either. It could be worse. I could have chosen 光源氏.

[ you know. hikaru genji. let's get real pretentious. ]

[jailbirds]

genji lololol

[ she's typing "wwwww" but it's getting kindly translated. ]

do your parents think they're being classy or are they just that unoriginal

[reillumination]

I'm not sure how that would sound out loud, but I'd guess it'd be hard for them to pronounce.

[ he's just assuming you've provided him another last name... what is "lololol"... help him. ]

If I had to make up a story about Genji's origins, I'd go with the former. Only the newly rich would name their child something like that.

[jailbirds]

omg it's laughter you ancient sack of bones
lololol = wwwwww = hahahaha
ꉂꉂ ( ˆᴗˆ ) like this. lolol

ohhhh i see, they're trying to sound more elite than they actually are
rookie mistake

[reillumination]

We don't use shit like that in the 80s.
But, considering how well time is working for us now, who knows how ancient I am anymore.

[ literally so old, ryo. ]

Alright. That makes sense. It figures you'd come up with some kind of shorthand.

Yeah. It's life imitating art. If we're going to use fake, "expensive" names we might as well make sure we create fake, "expensive" parents to give them.

[jailbirds]

ugh i didn't really want to think about parents
i guess i can just bullshit something that sounds like any private school alumni brat
blah blah stepped on people to climb their way to the top blah blah studied for a degree in backstabbing motherfucker
scientifically engineered for greatness lolol whatever

[reillumination]

It's easier to go shorter on the details anyway. It's harder to keep up a lie if you get too descriptive.

[ and his parents are dead, so that's fine. he gets it. ]

Considering their culture, I wonder if they already support a degree like that.
