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.

To that end, I wish to open discussion.

For those who have chosen a name, please respond with what you have selected, that we may know what to call you.

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.

You refer to cars?

[rudelanguage]

Yeah, yeahyeah that, those. Yeah.

[oblige]

With their aversion to metal, I should imagine they would not favor such transport.

[rudelanguage]

Cars made of, of rocks? Maybe? I dunno. Maybe that's too stupid. But it's like! Hard to be sure? With fae, I mean. They're weird as hell.

[oblige]

Are they truly so unpredictable?

[rudelanguage]

I, I mean--it's...like the whole thing. Their rules aren't our rules. But, but they have rules? But tacking it down is like...I mean...it's like a set-up, y'know? Just opens you up to getting messed with.

It's just. Messy.

[oblige]

What a curious society, though I suppose they might say the same of us.

[rudelanguage]

Engh. I dunno. Who cares what they say, anyway!

[oblige]

We shall have to for five weeks.

[rudelanguage]

[loud disgusted noise, deflating.]

Five... Five weeks...

[oblige]

It strikes me as a lengthy duration as well.

Perhaps Aurora means to grant us as much time as possible to find those like us who have been left there.

[rudelanguage]

[a withered, squeaky noise.] Weeks...

[oblige]

[ There there, Antigone. ]

We need only remain vigilant.

[rudelanguage]

[I'm gonna fuckin' die.]

For five weeks.

[oblige]

Please notify me if you find that you could use aid during that time. I respect your independence, but this mission may prove taxing.

[rudelanguage]

I...how? Everyone's gonna be-- the whole point is t-- [she flubs the thoughts mashing together, huffs.] Like, what? Hand signs? A cant?

[oblige]

We shall still have our devices, will we not?

[rudelanguage]

How...how are people gonna be discreet with that?

[oblige]

We should ensure we are alone, at the least.

[rudelanguage]

At the least. [she groans.] Five weeks...

[oblige]

...Are you going to be all right?

[rudelanguage]

[No. No nope no no nope nuh uh no way no. Fuck no!

after a sick-sounding gulping noise:] I'll make it work. I mean--don't...expect? To hear from me, probably? This is--fae stuff's like... [she makes a pained noise.] I can't explain it good, andandAND I'm not spitting it out where everyone can hear! [cadence picks up when she remembers oh FUCK she's just talking to the air that apparently everyone can hear?!]

[oblige]

...Are you in your...residence presently?

[ With respect for her need of privacy. ]

[rudelanguage]

No. I'm walking to the stupid library to find out about a stupid spyglass. And hey! If that thing's legit, y'all won't need me around anyway! Good news for me!

[oblige]

I see.

Though I've no doubt you can manage on your own, would you care for any assistance?
