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.]

youd still die.

[ SO WOULD EVERYONE ELSE... ]

why should people listen to you anyway? i barely even pay attention to this guy. [ Siegfried... ]

[dorzalta]

I think you would regret it.

[ Calling you out ho. ]

You seem to have forgotten our most recent victory banked on you listening to me.

[bloodings]

i wouldnt.

[ Maybe. ]

and working with you was just convenient. i screwed up letting you think you were in charge.

[dorzalta]

Of course.

[ She's not buying it. ]

That's what happens when you bend the knee 🙂

[ Prompto would be so proud. ]

[bloodings]

[ POINTEDLY IGNORES THE EMOJI ]

it meant nothing. im a traitorous knight, remember? dont lump me in with whatever loyal sorts youre used to.

private;

[dorzalta]

I believe that you were traitorous. I question it now, ser.

[ Not that she thinks the best of anyone by default, but Mordred's earned her trust thus far. ]

I'm quite accustomed to betrayals. My own knight, in fact.

permaprivate etc

[bloodings]

maybe i want you to question it. harder to betray someone if they see it coming, right?

[ Wouldn't that be the long con... Mordred's playing 4D chess. Just kidding, she's too stupid even for normal chess. ]

anyway, you survived, so he obviously did a bad job. i bet he wasnt anywhere near as cool or strong as me. [ Priorities... ]

[dorzalta]

Easier when one starts anew. Either way, it sounds like an exhausting effort. Most certainly you deserve commendation for such hard work, if that's the case.

[ The likelihood of Mordred having the patience for that sort of ploy? Well, that's on Varys' level, isn't it? Even she can't be bothered. ]

It's more complicated than that. He survived. Not all betrayals must mean the death of someone.

[bloodings]

praise will get you nowhere.

[ Fuckin' lol. Praise will get her everywhere. ]

and youre a fool for letting him live, in that case. my father would never make the same mistake. [ Except he did, trying to preserve the lives of Lancelot and Guinevere until no other option was left. ] traitors either succeed, or get executed for their crimes. thats simply how the world works.

[dorzalta]

I don't make it a habit of offering praise easily, ser.

[ Perhaps she was a fool for allowing ser Jorah to live. She doesn't think so. ]

On that, I do not disagree. I've burnt traitors, beheaded them for breaking my laws. But there are sometimes circumstances where banishment is far crueler a punishment than death.

[ And maybe it's a sign of weakness on her part that she allowed a man so loyal to survive. But that loyalty saved her life. ]

[bloodings]

[ That last part actually does make her stop and think. After all, wasn't her father ignoring her a fate far worse than death? ]

i guess youre right.

leading a rebellion against you would certainly be interesting. perhaps ill get that chance one day.

[dorzalta]

[ Mordred agreeing with her? The surprise of that delays any amusement over the thought of them facing one another in true battle. ]

That is one betrayal I sincerely hope I never face, ser.
