One New Notification!

[airlockedmods]

[About a day after Cece's message arrives, another small blip! cuts its way through whatever conversations the Airlocked! survivors might be having. But it isn't happening in the space limo this time - it's on the Temerity proper. Some of you are more acquainted with the computer system here, so you should know what that sound means.

You have new Spitter messages!]

I'll take that to mean "yes, Yuuri, that's an excellent undercover name, incredibly inconspicuous".

[scourgingstars]

[you're all ridiculous]

Aliases aren't a terrible idea, but is now really the time for flirting over them?

[serrata]

[ she just. points at Junpei. ]

I'm blameless. This is your delinquent son's doing.

[scourgingstars]

You're both terrible influences on each other.

[daughterofthemark]

I believe you are confused. He is obviously our father. You can see I inherited his hair color.

[serrata]

Oh, of course, I see now. How could I miss the resemblance?

That would make him an Ichimichi too, of course... but what about given names for both of you? Maybe we should try keeping a theme to make it easier to remember...

[scourgingstars]

Please don't give me another surname.

[serrata]

But it's going to completely give the game away if you're still 'Tenmyouji'!

[scourgingstars]

Yuuri, I have lived in hiding for two thousand years, do you actually think 'Ardyn Izunia' was the only name I ever went by? I can use another one, I doubt anyone's going to be fooled by our utter lack of family resemblance.

[serrata]

... Hm, yes. I suppose you've got a point.

[ Her and Arianna are probably going to be a hard enough sell but factor in Ardyn and the whole thing starts to stink just a bit too much. ]

It's going to look a bit strange if me and "Konno-san" both keep calling you "Dad" but... we'll work something out.

[scourgingstars]

You'll just have to learn to be subtle for once. I know it's near impossible for you both.

[daughterofthemark]

A theme that would fit "Kotori"...

[...

...Arianna knows nothing whatsoever about Japanese names!]

[scourgingstars]

Try something that just sounds similar. Alliterative, perhaps.

[serrata]

... well, Kotori means "little bird". So how about... hm, "Kobato"? It means "little dove".

[daughterofthemark]

Kobato... Kobato!

[serrata]

Well then, it's very nice to meet you, Ichimichi Kobato-chan.

[daughterofthemark]

And you as well, Ichimichi Kotori...san? Is that correct?

[misanthropicprinciple]

Like you have any room to talk.

[scourgingstars]

Don't start with me. That was hardly the only alias I've ever answered to, and I think after a few centuries I'd every right to go back to my own first name.

[misanthropicprinciple]

Sure, sure. I meant the inappropriate flirting. I had to live with you and Church.

[scourgingstars]

I am almost entirely blameless for that, he's the one with the fixation and one-track mind.

[misanthropicprinciple]

We all saw you when Church suggested burning the mansion down, Dad. All of us. You have zero room to talk.

[scourgingstars]

Oh, and you whenever Yuuri threatens something is completely different, is it?

[misanthropicprinciple]

It's different because I don't call you out unprovoked, now, do I? I don't judge.

[serrata]

So, he admits it's inappropriate.

[ and yet. and yet. she doesn't sound even slightly mad. ]
