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!!]

[Why Are You Like This]

[purrtagonist]

[I]

[well]

[okay]

On the bright side.
Your enemies won't realize they need to take you seriously until it's too late.

[digiorno]

you know i never considered that

[he lies]

[purrtagonist]

[an amused snrk, because somehow, he doubts that]

Tell me Ladybug's story.
Who are they, really?
What makes them tick?



And what's their favorite flavor of ice cream?

[digiorno]

a good cover story deviates significantly from one's own personality so that one doesn't get too invested in one's false identity

which means that i should say something disgusting like vanilla, but that would be compromising every principle i have

i realize i'm getting hung up on the ice cream thing but i foolishly did not consider that aspect until just now

[purrtagonist]

[oh NO]

[he's laughing a little bit now]

I'm happy I could help.
Count on me to ask the questions that seemingly don't matter.

[digiorno]

you have caused me a genuine existential crisis and you're not even sorry

anyway, why 002? do you have some kind of numbers thing

[purrtagonist]

Not even a little bit.

[YOU WILL SURVIVE GIORNO]

Not really.
I've just decided my character works for a spy agency that names their agents after numbers.
