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.]

More codenames to an already tedious mission.

[mylawn]

Don't like dressing up?

[jk he also hates dressing up]

[raisedbybirds]

My idea of dressing up is not to the Aranean's tastes, I'm sure.

[mylawn]

Yeah, you don't exactly scream 'dress blues'.

[raisedbybirds]

Your unwarranted opinion is duly noted.

I find that kind of attire too restricting. Maybe it suits you better.

[mylawn]

Not at all. I did my time.

[raisedbybirds]

Too restricting? Or outgrew it?

[mylawn]

I quit.

[raisedbybirds]

Now you get to wear a new one.

[mylawn]

You'll be suffering with me. That's enough.

[raisedbybirds]

I'm glad to be in such good company.

I hope your new outfit doesn't hide your face.

[mylawn]

Well, now I'm gonna, just because you said.

[raisedbybirds]

You'll disappoint not only me, but also all those hungry spiders.

[mylawn]

I think they'll live.

[raisedbybirds]

I think you'll die.

[mylawn]

[This is extremely rude.]

Unlikely.

[raisedbybirds]

[This is how she shows concern. I think.]

Did you pick a stupid alias yet?

[mylawn]

Did you?

[raisedbybirds]

[So that's a no.]

Justus Deleevard is among the top contenders. I'm open to other suggestions.

[gerechtigkeit]

Tedious, but necessary. It was the same for Gallipoli.

[raisedbybirds]

Understatement. Perhaps all my creative energy went into "Justin Bailey" of 1915. May he rest in peace.

[gerechtigkeit]

I'm sure you're not the only one. But we can't give our actual names, there's too much risk for everyone involved.

If not Justin, then there is Justus, Iestyn, Giustino. Or we can do another name entirely.

[raisedbybirds]

Justus sounds like Justice. [She likes it, though it sounds like it'd make for a better last name. Begrudgingly she gives the BCE roulette a spin to see what else she gets.] I suppose Stella or Samantha Abel is about as unsubtle.

[gerechtigkeit]

'Justus' is actually German, but it sounds similar, yes. It can be a first or last name. And I would think so- the less similar they sound to our actual names, the better.

[raisedbybirds]

Justus Deleevard.
