[ long pause. to appreciate the story, probably. ]

What was your name again, Messere?

[degenere]

Oh, Val de Foncé, of course. There is a great deal more to it, which I can give to you, but most of you--

[You, very inclusive: the non-Orlesian.]

--find it easier to be using the lopped off form of it, yes?

[justnice]

Don't hold back on my account, Messere.

[ the more details the better. that he knows he'll talk himself out of whatever petty revenge before its time comes around doesn't mean others can't be talked into it. ]

[degenere]

Very well, then: Valentine Nicasius Maxence Mérovée Olivier de Foncé.

[--All pronounced so very smoothly and (obnoxiously) Orlesian-accented.]

In the technical and on papers, I am not entitled to the use of all of these names, so of course they must be used, yes?

[justnice]

How'd those ones get picked?

[degenere]

Oh, the usual way. My parents collected the names of our most influential relations, and scattered them on a dart board, then took it in turns. Each direct hit was chosen--after a secondary review and a report from their most careful senior steward, of course.
