TEXT | un: purrsona

[purrtagonist]

[about four or so hours after the infiltration of the Mothership mission begins, a message appears on the network. it's in text, mostly because. . . uh. talking into one's magitek about an undercover mission while surrounded by enemy agents is probably not wise]

So has anyone come up with a code name for themselves yet?

[. . . yep. . .]

An undercover spy mission seems like a good chance for just that. Think about it-- you can finally be the person you've always wanted to be with the name you've always wanted to have. Viking. Sapphire. Velociraptor. I think the possibilities are pretty endless.

[THAT SAID]

Though it'd probably be nice to meet all of you without the mask of a code name, first. I keep running into people I don't know, and I can't tell who is an ally and who isn't.

[. . .]

I call dibs on the name 002.

[a very serious post during a very serious mission? also? help the new guy out by introducing yourself so he can stop freaking out every time he runs into someone new!!]

A username isn't the same as a code name.

["purrsona" is a GREAT username but a TERRIBLE code name]

You might be right.
But why waste the opportunity when it's handed to you on a silver platter?

[unholey]

It could be, if people didn't pick silly things like 'i can b ur daddy' and 'OHNO'. Or their actual names*.

Because it's pointless and kind of confusing? Code names only matter when your actual identity/reputation is at stake.

But I'm getting the impression you just want to use a code name because it sounds cool.

* Actual name usernames are superior to goofy joke usernames

[ex_mettacrusher33]

I'll take it.

[unholey]

It's still pretty lame. For the record.

But at least it's easy to identify. And I guess I can commend you for being dedicated to your brand.

[ex_mettacrusher33]

We have to be dedicated to SOMETHING, don't we?

[purrtagonist]

First off, actual name usernames are not superior to goofy joke usernames.
And second.




Yeah, maybe.

[at least he's honest]

[unholey]

Be honest with me. Is 'purrsona' really going to be funny every time you write a message? For however long you work for ALASTAIR?

Well...................................

At least you're being honest about it.

[purrtagonist]

Yes.
Absolutely.

[for reasons only he will understand]

[unholey]

Oh, no.

You're one of THEM.

A pun enthusiast.

[purrtagonist]

[oh NO]

Guilty as charged.
Are you going to lock me up for it now, officer?

[unholey]

No, you've got it all wrong.

I'm not the police. The police, even as a humorous concept, can go fuck themselves. I'm a vigilante, crushed under a regime of puns and terrible one-liners.

[purrtagonist]

This is a problem.
I, too, am a vigilante.
Fighting against the oppressive rule of haters of puns and witty wordplay.

[unholey]

Nah, it's fine. Remember: multiverse theory. That's how two vigilantes of opposing values can coexist.

[purrtagonist]

Hm.
I guess this means we don't have to duel it out after all.

[unholey]

Good news all around. In my experience, duels are a pain to clean up after.

[purrtagonist]

Depends on the duel.
I was thinking thumb wars, personally.

[unholey]

Oh, those are simpler. Down to the strength and speed of the thumbs in question.

[purrtagonist]

And the experience of the thumb-wielder.
I'm an S-class thumb wrestler, so you wouldn't stand a chance against me.
