Everyone pay attention. This is important.

[ The background to this late-evening message is a bit of wind, a bit of snoring from something with lungs bigger than a human's/elf's/etc. The accent is a little unusual—predominately Rivaini, but with a touch of the Qun in the vowels and an echo of elven lilt. The speaker is not identified, because if people don't know her by now, that's their fault. ]

We need nicknames. We can't be a motley collection of rogues and renegades without nicknames.

[tadpoled]

My name is short enough without a nickname.

[biggame]

[ Whining—because she’s had to clarify this a few times already and she’s boooored of explaaaaining— ]

Not that kind of nickname.

[tadpoled]

[Oh. Well then he’s not sure what to pick because his mind immediately flits to m u r d e r.]

Suppose ‘Herb’ would be fitting, as I’m the resident herbalist.

[biggame]

Sure. Herb.

Until I know more about you. Then I get to choose.

[tadpoled]

You don’t want to get to know me better.

[biggame]

[ With that kind of attitude— ]

Probably not.



[ (Sorry.) ]

[tadpoled]

[And yet there’s an urge to at least apologize.]

Sorry.

[biggame]

What?

[tadpoled]

[Does he explain or no.]

I’m usually chatty, so I’m sorry you’ve got this side of me.

[biggame]

Me too.

[tadpoled]

You seem quite chatty, I would have assumed you wanted the full life experience, issues, that sort of thing.

[biggame]

You think I personally want to know all the issues and experiences of someone I've never spoken to before so I can give them a nickname?

[tadpoled]

[Let the himbo think for a moment.] Isn't that how you give people nicknames?

[biggame]

Sure, over time. As you become friends. I'm not going to interview you.

[ who do you think she is, bastien???? ]

You can stay Herb for now. That's better than Mopey Weirdo.

[tadpoled]

[in his defense, bastien is like his only friend okay]

I can survive Herb. But now I need a nickname for you.

...

Weeds.

[biggame]

Weeds?

[tadpoled]

Because you may at first dismiss them, but they can contribute the most if you spend time with them.

So, Weeds.

[biggame]

[ Okay. Less insulting than she expected. But, ]

You're still weird.

[tadpoled]

I would expect nothing less.

Should you ever need my assistance, I am typically found in the garden, as you might imagine.
