sleepover sleepover SLEEPOVER

[phantasmagorial]

[ With the handful of new Executors awakening after the first batch, Rei's starting to get a little bit dithery. They're getting to be a big group now and while she's more than grateful for the help (and the company), she still finds herself worried about the group's cohesion. After all, Lion had admitted that he'd lashed out when he'd first awakened, Kingslayer and Pariah were at each other's throats and Iris wasn't even sure she wanted to be here at all.

Not that Rei could blame her.

But if they're going to be a team, then they at least need to be civil with each other. And getting in a bit of bonding before they have to go down and potentially double-die couldn't hurt.

So Rei borrows one of the hotel suites – a 'luxury' suite, according to the receptionist but to Rei's eyes, it just looks tacky as all get out. But it's big enough for the whole group and after spending an afternoon dragging in all the blankets she can find (and a few mattresses – thank god there aren't any other actual guests here to complain about her pillaging their rooms), Rei makes one final trip to the conbini to get... pretty much everything she can carry. Alcohol is right out (sorry, wine grandpa) but she brings back bulging bags of sodas, sweet drinks of all kinds and pretty much anything that looks made to be chugged. After that comes everything vaguely snack and candy-like in the store and a few things that might not actually be good to eat, and Rei feels confident in saying she's done.

She'd mentioned to a few of the others that she was having a bit of a get together that night, so all she can really do is wait for them to show up. She's in her pajamas, she's looked up sleepover games in the library and snacks, there's a TV mounted on the wall and she has... never held a sleepover before.

This is gonna turn out just fine. ]

[ At some point during the evening when everyone seems to have filed in and settled down a bit, Rei speaks up just enough to be heard over the general group commotion. ]

Oh, um– excuse me! [ She is so obviously not used to addressing a group and it shows. God help her. ] I was just thinking, since we're all here, it could be a good time to talk about names, maybe? I know a lot of us might not remember our real names, but we definitely need to call each other something... or at least have something to call ourselves.

So maybe we could... I don't know. Brainstorm a bit? And see if we can come up with things we'd like to be called if the things we've remembered aren't such a good fit.

[ She's not saying "Pariah and Your Majesty" but She's Saying Pariah And Your Majesty ]

[emberserker]

Well, it's true some of us have more name-like names than others...

[schardynfreude]

I didn't pick it... [AHEM not that Wolfsbane is much better!!!] So we simply...make up names for one another?

[mementomoritz]

I like mine, but I guess it is more of a job title than a name...

[crypddyd]

I don't mind mine, but... I must admit there's some charm to having a nickname, isn't there?

[emberserker]

I'm not sure about charm, but at least we could come up with something for His Majesty so we don't have to go about doing that.

[phantasmagorial]

It's definitely too awkward to be calling someone "Your Majesty" on a daily basis.

[ CALL OUT POST ]

[crypddyd]

True... I am rather sure I was a noble of some sort in life, so I likely had a King or Queen already. So it's a bit awkward.

[alcahest]

[ she hadn't really thought about it until now, but— ] Magnum Opus is a little... awkward.

[ but coming up with a new name for herself is difficult. if becoming an Executor hadn't forced that name to the forefront of her mind, she's not sure she would have named herself anything at all. she thinks for a moment. ]

... What is a magnum opus?

[mementomoritz]

Ooh, I know this one! [Medic is actually waving her hand, like the nerdiest kid in class wanting the teacher to call on them.] It means someone's most important creation, like a masterpiece.

[alcahest]

[ 10 points to Gryffindor except we all know Medic is a Ravenclaw ]

A masterpiece... Like a famous artwork?

[seasharp]

Mine's already a name, so I guess I'm good. Ha ha, lucky me~

[mementomoritz]

It's a nice name. I wonder what it means, as a title?

[seasharp]

...I hadn't even thought about it meaning anything.

[phantasmagorial]

Mine is too, come to think of it... I wonder why? Nobody else seems to have remembered their names.

[seasharp]

Maybe we're just special! Or really lucky.

[morelikeisabeast]

Oh. Yeah that’s a good idea. I keep just thinking of myself as a jock and I don’t want to be called that!

[emberserker]

Well, is there anything that comes up for you?

[morelikeisabeast]

iunno

[Shrug.]

I know two things:

- I'm dead
- I like sports

[crosscutting]

[Thank you for not calling her out directly,,]

I don't know...for some reason the only thing I can really think of for myself is 'Creamsicle' right now, and I'm not going with that.

[mementomoritz]

Creamsicles do sound good right now, though... [Aw, now she wants ice cream.] Maybe another word for orange, or a different shade of it? Like ginger or apricot- wait, no, that's still food.

[She might just be hungry, actually. Hopefully there's more snacks around here somewhere.]

[crosscutting]

[That does sound good right now, dang.]

Ginger's...okay? At least that can be about hair color, too.

[pride_of_amarcia]

... The headband kinda makes me think of leaves, sorta. Maybe some kinda plant reference?

[phantasmagorial]

Maybe if you don't mind orange, we could name you after something orange...?

[ You definitely have An Aesthetic going on, is what she's saying. ]

[pride_of_amarcia]

.... Eh. Brainiac works for me, honestly, at least for now?

[Wolfsbane may not agree with that statement, even if by now the red-white has gotten the hint, showered, and found some pajamas.]
