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]

I don't know if I have enough control to try that last one without putting the rest of you in harm's way. That does sound like something fun to practice, though...

[She can't help but laugh a little hearing her own fake name.]

Glad to be part of the team, Phoenix.

[wilder]

Practice away -- though I'll be sure give you a wide berth when you do.

[Getting impaled feels like it'd be bad!!]

[higanbana]

I appreciate that, honestly. I'm not exactly looking to skewer one of my friends.

I'll see what practice I can get in before we head out, though. Just let me know, I'll be there.

[He pauses ever so briefly. Was that the F word?????]

[wilder]

[As usual, he recovers quickly]

Haha, sure sure! I'm looking not to get skewered.

I heard from Adol and he said they were being treated pretty well, so we don't need to rush in. Let's just spend today preparing and head out tomorrow morning.

[It's brief, but Ris is attentive, and that pause is noticed.

Did she do something wrong? What did she say that he didn't like? "Friend?" But she really thought they were getting along well...

She doesn't let it show in her own expression for more than an equally brief moment. Two can play the "everything is fine" game.]

All right, sounds good. See you then. I assume we're meeting up at the gate?

[wilder]

[No Ris you did nothing wrong he's just crazy and very unused to having friends]

Yep, by the gate! It should be in Brick Alley from the sound of it.

And hey, thanks Ris.
