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.

Twenty-six letters? How gauche. You wound me, truly. I settled on Scanlan Keylethus Pikegratia Taryon d’Shorthalt-Grogson. Has a certain poetry, don’t you think? Rolls right off the tongue once you’ve lost the will to live.

And for the record, I would never choose a name that invited comparison to you. Dumbass deserves its own legacy.

[twin_blade]

I think you've managed to offend multiple people at once with that monstrosity.

[ Though Vax doesn't know who Taryon is, they are surely offended, as well. ]

[badnewsandshitlist]

I’ll assume they’re offended in spirit. They’re terribly consistent that way, even in absence.

You, however, are here- and you’ve always been quite talented at being offended on everyone’s behalf. I may as well tack your name on the end, like a flourish of indignation to finish the piece.

[twin_blade]

Great. Then I can be offended on my own behalf.

[badnewsandshitlist]

Splendid. Efficiency at last. One offended party doing the work of six.

Remind me to have a plaque made. “Vax’ildan: Consolidated Outrage.” It’ll look lovely in the hall.

[twin_blade]

Go fuck yourself, de Rolo.

[ His consolidated outrage is only for Percy. ]

[badnewsandshitlist]

And there it is. Music to my ears. I was beginning to think you’d gone soft. I’ll still have the plaque made though- “Consolidated Outrage,” in fine silver lettering. It will look perfect beside the one Vex keeps for me that says “Habitual Provoker.”

[twin_blade]

[ After a time, Vax shakes his head at Percy's nonsense. ]

I'd be shocked if she didn't have more than one. For both of us.

[badnewsandshitlist]

Then she’s far better prepared than the rest of us, as usual. I’ve seen the plaques she’s set aside for me alone. There’s “Percy’s Overthought Himself Into a Corner,” “Percy Built Something He Shouldn’t Have,” “Percy Insulted Someone Important,” and, of course, “Percy’s Been Kidnapped, But It’s Probably His Own Fault.”

She’ll run out of wall space before I run out of reasons to earn them.

[twin_blade]

Are you sure that last one isn't mine?

[ Vax has had his fair share of being abducted. ]
