TEXT | un: purrsona

[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!!]

[he is like the very opposite of broody]

Extremely.
Is there any other way to be cool?

[argenteums]

sure there is there's being BADASS like a SUPERHERO

one that doesn't brood and sit in the dark under the rain

that's SO last year! and boring

unless they have a cute animal sidekick that offsets the BROODY. You got a sidekick?

[purrtagonist]

If I called him my cute animal sidekick, he might riot and demand a renegotiation of our working contract.

[Morgana has his PRIDE, after all]

That is to say, the position is open if you were thinking of tossing in an application.

[argenteums]

HEY

[ Come to think of it- ]

I'm no animal but I've already got a sidekick of my OWN you know

He's a brooder. I'm his sunshine and joy of course. Together, we make a kickass team!

So what's your "super power"

[purrtagonist]

I would never say no to my sidekick having a sidekick.
For what it's worth.

And I haven't decided yet.
Which do you think is better: the power of flight or super strength?

[argenteums]

well I guess that's okay then

[ Wait- argh! He's about to protest in text back but the next question makes him think. ]

I'd say flight. you can fly down real fast and knock someone out, super strength packs itself into the momentum on its own, yeah? why, you can pick?

[purrtagonist]

[heh]

Well, you know.
Why not?
If I'm picking a code name and a backstory.
I might as well pick my superpower, too.

[argenteums]

then I want a kickass superpower. like warping! damnit, my best buddy can warp but he doesn't share that with me. his dad shared it with his friends, I don't see why we couldn't.

barring that, super speed. they'll never see me coming!

[ :) ]

[purrtagonist]

[DAMN IT PROMPTO]

Maybe he just wanted to be special?

But super speed's not a bad alternative.
You'll be every enemy's last surprise.
