[ 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 too bad The Doctor was already taken. Would have been a good one.

[Switching to private.]

I don't disagree. On the other hand, I think the risk of anyone using these on a mission is slim to nil.

The fact it gets a response is the important part.

Oh, sure. On the other hand, we also have some who don't require any excuse to drive somethin' into the ground for the sake of their own childish amusement.

( well. less so now that certain folks are gone...

okay but now, constructively: )

...Rita and Yelena got to talking about small groups a bit ago. Might be worth getting her input on that again.

[deaddrop]

Revisiting therapy now? This post has everything.

[With humor. Mostly.]

It might be more productive than this, you're right. I get the feeling one or two people might be feeling a little dogpiled.

[homeostatic]

What can I say, I'm a predictable son of a bitch.

( it's a testament to rita's character, that she could endure terrible things and still try to be positive for the sake of others, and he makes a mental note to reach out to her once tempers have cooled.

for now, )

So what is it like, being a real life superhero? My frame of reference is all holodramas and children's books.

[Natasha hums at that, already regretting that she outed herself on that. It's not exactly how she'd choose to self-identify.]

Do you want a real answer to that or a pithy one?
