Good day, fellow Etrayans.

Concerning Antigone's warning regarding our real names, it occurs to me that we would benefit from collaborating on this front.

For those who have not, you may use this posting to discuss your ideas or invite suggestions from others.

As for myself, I shall be using "Lucien", the name of a character from a novel in my world.

I guess if we can pick any name that we want for this.

James Bond. Or '007.'

[oblige]

I shall note it, but what do the numbers signify?

[laserguy]

Uh, it's just his codename. My codename, I mean. Seventh super secret agent.

[Even though he isn't British. He'll accept it this time though.]

Pencil me in as Stevens.

As in Cat. He's a musician from Earth.

[oblige]

Very well. I shall do so momentarily.

» Greetings Dion!

  I hope you are faring well and that my text missive finds you in good health. I am certain you have heard it already, but I wished to give form my appreciation: I think this to be a very wise plan, gathering all of our chosen names here that we may move better undetected in Auriel. I had originally intended to reach out to both you and Clive, but I see you have been thinking of the larger goal. Fine work.

  I have picked out the name Praeclarus. The pronunciation can be a little tricky, but I can tell you when next we meet how to do so properly.

  Text missives are meant to be more of a short form of communication, this I have been made aware of, but I swear to you this is the short version.

Sincerely,
Joshua

Good day Joshua,

I am well, thank you for your kind words. I hope the same may be said for you.

As for organizing this, I feel it improper to assume too much credit. Antigone was the one who drew attention to the danger of our names becoming known. I merely took the next logical step to help ensure our success on this mission. Those who were abandoned on Auriel are relying upon us all.

You needn't concern yourself with the length of your message. I have never had any complaints regarding your wealth of words.

[dangerbird]

» Thank you for the consideration, Lucien, I am indeed faring well on this day. The weather hasn't been too off-putting, although I am curious to know what winter is to look like here. I'm told we're in the autumnal season currently.

I notice no one seems to put in indentations in their text missives. This must be something I need to adapt to as well, I suppose. You seem quite capably adjusted in your communiqué; I'll endeavor to make mine as graceful.

You are right, of course, in that I should express my gratitude to Lady Antigone. It is my fear, however, that you are not taking enough credit for your actions. This is because you are a natural leader, perhaps. Taking the reins and linking everyone up like this may have seemed the obvious choice to you, but remember, Lucien, we are not all experienced in leading an elite army. I find your initiative valuable and your execution succinct and effective.

I am happy and relieved to hear I have not caused complaint in this area. Still, I am trying to adapt to this new instant long distance communication etiquette as best as I am able. Do wish me luck.

UN: Vesper

[saychocobo]

» Hey Prae. Quick FYI. Even if you address it to somebody in the text, everybody else can see the message unless you set it to only be visible to certain usernames.

[dangerbird]

»Greetings Vesp! I did know others would be able to see my text missive as I can see theirs, but I was not aware I had the option to make the public message private. Thank you for this valuable information, it is greatly appreciated.

[bloodandlife]

good idea mate itll be much easier with a list to refer back to you can put me down as dionysus

[oblige]

Very well, I shall update the list.

Does that name hold some meaning to you?

[ It starts with "Dion", he can't not ask. ]

[bloodandlife]

[inimicitia]

Heliodorus is what I'm going with. Missed this before but I thought I'd get it out there so people know.

(( ooc: showing up late with starbucks lmfao ))

[oblige]

Thank you for your response. I shall add it to the list momentarily.

[consiliaria]

I have decided on Tellenn, for those who might need it.

This post was a lovely idea. Excellent foresight, Lucien.

[oblige]

Thank you. We're most fortunate that Antigone alerted us to the risk of using our names during the mission.

Might I ask yours, so I may update the list?

[consiliaria]

It was fortunate we had someone familiar with the fae. The dossiers will no doubt prove useful but I put more weight in personal experience.

Tellenn is the name I plan on using for the duration of the mission.

[codicies]

Put me down as Reed Richards, lol.

[ Hopefully none of the refugees there are Dr. Doom. Then again, if one of them is Doom, the guy's reaction would make it very easy to pick him out of a crowd. ]

[oblige]

Very well, I will do so.

I believe we've not yet met; may I ask who to list as using the name Reed Richards?

[codicies]

Dylan Brock.

@justsophie

[sophielicious]

lol

[unpollo]

[ Apollo has a plethora of epithets, but there's a risk to using any of them. Even "Lester Papadopoulos" is tied closely enough to his own identity that it might give the fey some power.

A name that is his close to him, but not tied to him? ]

I'll go by Artemis.

[oblige]

I'll make note of it.

As we are unacquainted, may I ask your name?

Text; Hawks

[velocityraptor]

You can all still call me Hawks, that's fine with me.

[ That means he's either foolish enough to use his real name, or perhaps Hawks isn't really his name either. ]
