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.]

It's funny but I'm also imagining
A sheep
Besides how do you know I don't wear any frills?

[ DO I KNOW YOU... DO YOU KNOW ME... MYSTERY. ]

Please no god

[lefthandfree]

Because I do? They’re not your style.

[If only you knew who the fuck would have a name like @BUCKET. Wow, what a mystery.]

Well, with a name like McKormick, you gotta be a Mickey at least.

[handsomefoil]

You think so huh?

[ Bucket...mysterious bucket. ]

Well, I can accept Mickey at least

[Unfortunately, Bucky here has no idea why he's being so curt with him now when their usual conversations tend to drift and flow all on their own. It's a jarring change. But through the hours of conversation they've had since meeting, it's slipped him by entirely that he never gave Henry his BCR username. So. Here we are. Bucky confused as to his rather close friend's suddenly cold disposition toward him when things have been fairly par for the course for them recently.

Well, with one small exception...]

I know it’s not. And you know it’s not too. I don’t get why you’re being so difficult right now.

Is something wrong? Is this because of the other night?

[ Squints into the screen. Other night? What does that mean, who did he see the other night? Maybe it wasn't the exact other night, maybe it was two nights ago, maybe it was-- ]

Other night?

[ Of course it's always when he first submits something that he realizes who it is. Without fail. Always makes shit awkward, whoops. He'll have to properly apologize to the guy. This was probably the only other person he could think of that he had an encounter with of any sensitive nature (though not really in his book), and there were only so many people he had those with. Not to mention he already knows Arthur's UN.

Then again, he had no idea this was James!! ]

My tone must've seemed very off-putting just now, didnt it.

I'll be honest
I thought you were a troll
So to speak
If you've caught up on any modern lingo, anyway
I'm sorry about that
Didn't realize it was you!

[lefthandfree]

[Well, the suspense probably could have killed him if it lasted long enough. Like. Y’know. If Henry never replied after that, which could very well have happened if he had somehow rubbed Henry the wrong way suddenly without realizing it (people are fickle after all). But it’s good that even though there was a wait anyway that the sudden succession of replies probably means he’s not in the doghouse or whatever.

Actually, the way Henry replies is kinda cute. Guy’s properly embarrassed, and Bucky can’t even think of when he’s even seen the guy even a little bit flustered. He smiles to himself as he replies.]

Sorry. I thought I’d mentioned my username to you before, but I guess I hadn’t. We talk about too much, haha.

That’s one of those people that just writes stuff to upset people, right? I dunno about you, but I’d like to hope nothing I said really bordered on that. I’m just teasing, y’know.

But, yeah, hey. It’s me, haha. Sorry for the mixup.

[handsomefoil]

[ He's just not used to always being caught off-guard like this. He's mistaken people before in the past, especially when there was no face to match with a nonsensical username, but never over something like this. Whoops...

Alright, lets regain some composure here.]

Yeah thats right
I mean, it could've been taken as low key trolling at its worst
But trolling nonetheless if you were someone other than
well
you
So
Yes, I realize this now.

No worries.
So, why did they chose Bucket for you?
Do you know?
