[farr]

[ of course, rita sets up a visual because the starlet always wants to be seen (except when she doesn't). at the present time, she seems rather enthusiastic like she's fighting a proud grin, one that suggests she's ready to give herself a pat on the back at any moment. ]

Good evening, everyone! For those who don't know me, I am Rita Farr, your Team Morale Coordinator.

[ wait, who assigned her that position? ]

As you all well know, we have been joining mission after mission with the intention of collecting orbs to protect the world and save towns from devastation. In a way, you might say we're ... space-travelling superheroes!

And as any superhero would tell you, it's very important to have codenames for our mission. Obviously, we often obtain our very own undercover civilian names. But in the line of duty, when we're in the heat of the fight, we should just as well have assigned titles to continue preserving our identities.

As the Ximilia's Team Morale Coordinator — [ again, who voted her into that position? ] I took it upon myself to select carefully crafted codenames for each and every one of you.

[ she then holds up a sheet of paper, featuring a list of all of the orbers, each with another name printed beside them. ]

You will find this list posted in the Mess Hall. Please take a moment at your best convenience to study the list and memorize each of the names listed for future use. Though I worked very hard to select them — [ she clears her throat, brushing her hair back. ] I suppose that if you have any issue with the name chosen for you, we can discuss making possible changes. Though I don't see why anyone would want to.

( please note that none of the above is to be taken seriously and is in good fun! though rita very much likes to believe she has team leader qualifications and is entirely in her right to make assignments. but she's very bad at selecting names so if some of it seems nonsensical, it's on brand. she went by what she knows or assumes or whatever she likes. )

It's-- it's all right.

[It isn't visible, but his hand is still covering his face, like not looking at Newt will make this whole STILL PUBLIC conversation that much less embarrassing.]

Thank you. [Whatever, it's already out there. Why not.] While we're-- stating facts, you're not so bad, yourself.

[groupiedrifter]

[.............................]

Man. You really think so?

[Aw. He sounds kind of, like, surprised and touched here, dude.]

[softshoes]

Really. You have a sort of roguish charm.

[He means it!!!]

[groupiedrifter]

[Oh my goodness.



My bro...]

Roguish! Ha haaaa! I'll take it. Man, I am roguishly charming.

A super handsome doctor said it, so it must be accurate.

[softshoes]

[Yujin chuckles good-naturedly--]

I am right from time to time, after all.

...Just as long as you agree to use whatever my new codename is. [AND THERE IT IS.]

[groupiedrifter]

Okay, okay. I think that's something we can shake on.

... Uhhh, what might that new codename be, anyway?

Because I'm noticing 'stache daddy' is still front and center next to your name.

[softshoes]

[SIGH.]

It's a work in progress for now.

[groupiedrifter]

Maybe go for something super simple!

Like

The Professor

Makes you sound like THEE Professor!
Like how the Doctor was THEE Doctor.

[softshoes]

[Oh... uh... well.

The connotations on that one are unfortunate, through no fault of Newt's. Thank goodness he's only on audio; he can't hide the grimace that comes to his face at all.]

Unfortunately, a rather notorious criminal back home worked under that alias.

[Which is the most succinct and least insane-sounding place to leave it for now.]

I'd prefer to go for something else, if you don't mind.

oops newt went text mode for a sec there :')

[groupiedrifter]

Oh, c'mon! Criminals always take all the good names. That's bullshit...

Uh!

... How about 'The Thinker'?

[softshoes]

The... Thinker?

[--has not been sculpted yet, but it does sort of work? It's better than Stache Daddy, anyways.]

A little abstract, but I'd take it before the other suggestions. Good idea.
