Since we're all from different worlds and cultures I think there are a few things we should probably get sorted out as a group. First thing should probably be how to address each other. Go ahead and write your name/title/what you want to be called, your gender identifier if that's important to you, and pronouns to use for you.


Kai, he/him

[The writing is, as per usual with him, in the runic glyphs of Nostraman that the library helpfully translates.]

My name is Night Haunter. I identify as an imminent threat. Pronouns are irrelevant. Are titles necessary?

[goodtobebad]

"Night Haunter" sounds like something a twelve-year-old would call himself in a video game. You know that, right?

[curzed]

You may file your complaints with the people who named me.

[goodtobebad]

You mean to say that someone else named you that? Presumably an adult person thought "ah yes, Night Haunter, what a great name, very cool, very evocative"?

Seriously?

[curzed]

Completely seriously. What kind of people would name a child that? I suppose in fairness they did not know I was a child at the time.

Still, it's grown on me over the years. I will answer to no other, if I have a say in it.

[goodtobebad]

Really? You like it?

All right then. Far be it from me to judge.

[ That's a lie, he's going to judge. ]

[curzed]

It's the first thing anyone ever gave me. Why wouldn't I like it? I could choose some other name, but it would simply have some similar meaning when translated back to its original language.

[goodtobebad]

Someone gave me a name once, too. And a Purpose. I didn't like either, much. So now I'm just Crowley.

[curzed]

Did you pick Crowley?

[not_scrap]

I mean I thought Murderteeth was also a good one.

Guess that landed in the reject pile. [Boooo, tossing out her great ideas like that!]

[curzed]

It would likely count as a title.

[not_scrap]

Okay
Okay.

Hear me out.

Night Haunter von Murderteeth. [Yes? or HELL YES?]

[curzed]

I like my name as it is. Although I will inform my sons they must now call me Lord Murderteeth as soon as the opportunity arises.

[not_scrap]

I mean, it's a good name.
Evocative

Good ring to it.

Terrifying yet also, you know, grim.

Kinda goes against the fruit loving soft interior though.

[curzed]

Everyone's interior is soft, once you get past the ribs. Does the evocative nomenclature require carnivory?

[not_scrap]

[Hahahaahahaah this guy is so terrifying she's glad there's a noteboard between them. Even though (for once!) she's not being deliberately aggravating.]

You know I bet your sense of humor makes you really popular where you're from.


Also, those ain't the teeth of a fruit eater. I went to school! [Fool her? You cannot!]

[curzed]

It does, in fact.

The teeth are a cosmetic modification.

[A note appended to this. Not in Curze's probably spiky handwriting. Titles ARE necessary! Accuracy matters. ]

Also known as the Primarch of the VIIIth Legiones Astartes, the Night Lords, and the Dark King of Nostramo.

Everything else is accurate.

[curzed]

It was already accurate. Are titles necessary?

[angel_of_baal]

They are honors you have earned.

Necessary, no, but not something to hide, either.

[curzed]

I did not earn two of those, they were handed to me.

[angel_of_baal]

Handed out of respect and honor. [He presumes. He didn't name himself the Great Angel. That would be narcissism. It was given to him and he accepted it as the tribute it was.]

Shall I also refer to you as Night Haunter while here?

[curzed]

[His preferences haven't mattered since the Emperor arrived on Nostramo, why would it matter now? Records will always carry that second, unwelcome name.]

Do as you please.

[angel_of_baal]

In this matter,
at least,
I would rather follow your will.

[curzed]

[It takes HOURS before the next response is written. In gothic instead of Nostraman glyph.]

Then you already know what my name is.
