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.]

[cardinalrule]

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

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

[wilder]

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

[wilder]

[yeah Hunter was made for this plot really]

The sparkles are nice for flair, but not required!

[nefilim]

It sounds like a cheesy superhero name! I'll call you Phoenix, but that's it.

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]

We're going on a rescue mission, aren't we? That's basically superhero stuff! Might as well embrace it! But fine, fine! Phoenix will do.

And what's your codename gonna be?

[wilder]

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

[Zelos...no....]

[biothermal]

[She holds back a response to that, instead opting for something else.]

So, what gave you that idea, anyway? [The codename itself, not the whole codenames thing; that already was answered in the original post.]

[cardinalrule]

Good. I don't know how anyone would actually say sparkles like that out loud, anyways.

[He's pretty sure that several people here could figure that out, though.]

[wilder]

Well, like the mighty phoenix I too once rose from the ashes. And I got red hair!

[But also, Phoenix sounds like---]

[wilder]

Understandable. It does take having ✨pizzazz✨ to pull it off.

[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.]

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.]

[nefilim]

Look, there's no way I could call you that seriously and this is a serious situation! I'm not gonna say ✨The Rising Phoenix✨ in a middle of a fight!

And isn't Ana enough? It's technically not my full name, so it should be fine.

[Also she's just bad at names.]

[biothermal]

[She'll just assume that the first part of his answer there is something to do with things back in his own world. If there's anything else to it, it is currently going over her head.]

Well, okay, I guess.

[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? ♥

[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!

[missingache]

Superheros tend to have some kind of backstory that brought them into becoming that. I'm just a guy from an average family. If anything, my code name would just be "Average Guy".

[Call him that and he'll just ignore it.]

[thaumewturge]

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

[wilder]

Pleaaase, I've seen you fight. You got more than enough breath to say a long name!

What? No! What if they guess what it's short for? Or what if a shortened version counts as your true name? It's too risky!

[wilder]

Yep!

So what about you? You got a code name for us?

[nefilim]

Breath that could be used for more important things like "Watch out for that sword swinging at your head!"

And Anastasia isn't really a common name. But ugh, fine. I'm bad at this, so you can think of one for me.

[This is probably a bad idea.]

[wilder]

....I mean, if you want "Average Guy" to be your code name, sure I can call you that.

[Trust him, he will]

[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.
