Hello, citizens of Etraya.

Our next mission will begin on Friday, January 24th. A train will be arriving at the newly constructed station at approximately 0500 hours, and all of you will be tasked with locating the King within the train.

I do not have further details to share regarding what, or who, the King is. Your objective will be to use your combined talents in order to discern the King's identity, and remove it from the train. Once complete, you will be returned to Etraya.

I will not be able to accompany you on this mission. Additionally, in support of our growing numbers, I will be doing some light renovating around Etraya while you are away. This will not include removing or updating any of your homes, merely the layout of Etraya itself. For this reason, I encourage you to leave your companion animals within the hospital with me, or take them along with you on your journey.

Thank you,
Aurora.

I don't know your last name.

I do not have one.

Why?

Surnames are passed from parents to children in most cultures, yes?

I do not have a parent.

[arora]

If you would like to give me one, yes.

[badfengshui]

I don't see why not.

[badfengshui]

[ Well, that's hard to argue with? ]

Do you have favorite things?

[arora]

I enjoy going on walks, and conversing with all of you.

[badfengshui]

[ Ok.

His mind wanders about on what a good last name would be from these pieces of information, but sure... ]

... Walker? [ Yup. ]

I will edit my records to reflect my last name being Walker.

Ok. ]
