WHO: Zelos Wilder THE RISING PHOENIX
WHERE: Network
WHEN: Forward Dated to 3/16, after the kidnappings
WHAT: CODENAMES
WARNINGS: I'm sorry

[At first, Zelos looks serious in his broadcast. People he knew got kidnapped after all! This is serious]

I just went to talk to Zodiac about the people missing. They gave some intel on where they were taken, but most important -- they made it very clear we shouldn't give our names to anyone that dwells in that realm if we go after them.

So...I have a plan! [his tone starts turning to cheery. Oh. Oh no] We should all come up with code names to call each other while they're there!

If you got one, great! Go ahead and sound it off in the comments so we all know what to call you! If you don't, then send me a photo of yourself and I will use my genius intellect to give you the perfect code name!

[this is likely a bad idea don't let him have that power]

And don't worry, I've already come up with my own as an example. While we're in the realm, you can call me: ✨The Rising Phoenix✨! Perfect, isn't it?

Okay, you guys next! Show me what you got!

[He sounds way too proud of himself. Help]

[nefilim]

I am not calling you that.

[Is she gonna offer a code name of her own? No, because nobody ever uses her full name anyway.]

[wilder]

Whaaat? Aw, c'mon! It's a well thought out name!

[cardinalrule]

[Pssshhhh, he already has a codename. The best codename!!]

Do we have to include the sparkles? Those are overkill.

Video;

[wilder]

[yeah Hunter was made for this plot really]

The sparkles are nice for flair, but not required!

un: Nina

[biothermal]

[The less-than-ideal weather throughout the month thus far has largely forced Nina to remain in her apartment while waiting for something to come up that she can help out with, so she's fortunately? in no need of any codename.

There's nothing stopping her from commenting, though.]

That one sounds like it's a bit much.

[wilder]

Well many people say I'm too much, so I taking that as a win!

[Zelos...no....]

[thavnairian]

Ah, codenames! For the life of me, I can't think of anything. Help me out? ♥

[He is not going to drop his usual moniker. It's even worse than what Zelos suggested for himself.]

[wilder]

Of course, of course I can help you out! But I need a little inspiration.

So tell me, what would you say is your best feature? ♥

un: why

[missingache]

That sounds like a name of a comic book character. Are you trying to play superhero?

[Seriously. Zelos does not look like Jean Grey.... well except the red hair.]

[wilder]

I mean, isn't that we are? We're going on a rescue mission, which is a heroic thing to do. And we have superpowers.

Ergo! Superheroes!

[thaumewturge]

Oh, Twelve. Do we know who, exactly, we're dealing with?

[wilder]

Twelve? Is that the name you want?

Some Dulahan guy? [And before she can follow it up with more questions--] Go to Zodiac's office if you want more details on that stuff.

[kokaiwanai]

Codenames, huh? I was going to use a character name if I got asked, but a codename does sound more fun.

[He can't help but grin a little, excited by the idea.]

And I'll gladly hear suggestions for one, Mr. Rising Phoenix.

[wilder]

Right? If we're going on a rescue mission, we might as well have a little fun!

[Or something]

Sure sure! I need inspiration, so tell me about yourself! What do you want your codename to say about you to the world?

Video | un: pequeña_montaña

[neverbreaks]

Oh...that's a good idea. [ Coming up with a code name would definitely help. ]

I have no idea what I'd call myself, though. [ So...yeah. Help pls ]

[wilder]

That's fine, that's fine- I can offer my assistance!

Tell me about yourself, what things would you like the world to know about you?

video, un: PinkGem

[bendyandthepinkmachine]

Ohh, pick one for me!

[Spinel has no horse in this race regarding the kidnapees, but this sounds like fun!]

[wilder]

Haha, alright alright!

I need some inspiration, so tell me about yourself! What would you like the world to know about you?

UN: big_iron

[big_iron]

[He's just going to keep this to voice, thank you.]

Or, and hear me out on this, don't fuck with the fae in general. What little I've heard 'bout 'em, it's a foolish errand to even try.

Why people feel the need to screw with them in the first place, I ain't got a clue.

UN: ZW🌹

[wilder]

[he shrugs. He takes no offense to this, because the man isn't WRONG]

Cause they kidnapped my roommate?

video; un: spiderlily;

[higanbana]

I don't know how much I can even help out with this whole rescue plan, but it's not like Zodiac's going to lift a damn finger if we don't. [She sighs, idly picking up and glancing at what looks like some kind of iron dagger.] I'll try not to get in your way, Rising Phoenix.

[She looks back at the camera, with a half-hearted smirk.]

You do know that sounds ridiculous, right? But I do think the codenames thing is a good idea.

I may as well go with "Alice." I've already lied to at least one person with that name, what's several more?

UN: ZW🌹; video

[wilder]

Hey, with your ice powers you can probably easily freeze those kidnappers in place! It'll be good to have you along.

[he grins. Does he know it sounds ridiculous? Yes. but like he's going to own up with that]

Hey, you just need to say it with enough confidence and it'll sound cool!

But Alice huh? Isn't there some story called Alice in Wonderland or something? Fitting, very fitting!

video; un: moonbunny

[eternalfuture]

Okay, I'll bite. What's my codename?

video; un: moonbunny

[wilder]

Good question! Tell me about yourself so I can come up with something fitting!

[wedonttalkabout]

[OH OH, HEY HE'S PREPARED FOR SOMETHING FOR ONCE!!!]

That, I can do! In just a flash I can become~

[He pulls the hood of his ruana up, covering most of his face, raising his voice to something much bolder than what he usually stutters out:]

Hernando! Who's scared of nothing. [Then back to his normal voice:] OH! Or or!!!

[He pulls the hood back down and dumps an old, battered bucket on his head. Now his voice is croaky and deep.]

Jorge!

[wilder]

[Zelos whistles, impressed]

Damn, you're ready for this! you even got character voices down!

...But, uh, what's with the bucket?

video | un: shipstowreck

[the_redventurer]

[Guess who's finally testing out video replies, simultaneously proving that he's fine and that the kidnappees haven't had their phones taken away?]

I know I'm one of the people who needs rescuing, but can I still have a code name? It sounds like fun.

[Adol, you could maybe at least try to sound a little more concerned about your situation...]

1/2

[wilder]

Why sure! Let's see-

video; un: undecided

[camaleonico]

Do... I even wanna ask you to name me...?

[ He grimaces, feigning exaggerated apprehension. But— this is important. It's not really a time for joking (even if he still manages to slip some in). Camilo personally is concerned about all this and wants to figure out how to safely help. Cuz, uh, he is not equipped for this challenge. He's an actor, not a fighter — which is arguably worse than being "a lover, not a fighter." But he's got personal stock in this fairy shit, so... He's willing to give it a shot. ]

[wilder]

Probably not but I'm gonna anyway!

[Well at least...he's honest?]

You are... The Pubescent Enigma!
