Alright, then.

[Even without Crow's mask, Goro's demeanor has shifted, now that they're in the Metaverse. His posture is more relaxed, and even his tone is brighter and more casual...especially compared to how on edge he's been, since his post about Shido revealed a lot more to the station than he'd intended.]

And, a word of advice for the newbies among us: if you need to hide from something, just step behind cover or into shadows. Even without the experience that lets us Persona users do so in the real world, the Metaverse will let you hide perfectly with any sort of cover.

[misanthropicprinciple]

Haha, awesome.

[Junpei immediately checks that principle out, ducking into the shadows. Fwip. Now you see him, now you don't.]

Oh, man, I could get used to this place.

[meowna]

Don't get too comfortable; being able to take cover still relies on you seeing them before they see you. Shadows communicate with each other, too--if one of them spots you and has reason to be alarmed, then all of them are sure to get more wary and tighten security. The more defensive they get, the harder it'll be to get anywhere at all.

[Impromptu stealth lessons aside, though..... Mona looks to Joker questioningly.]

Before we find Crepera, though--do we need to assign code names? Or is that pointless, with our Palace ruler right here?

[beguiledcard]

Most of us already have those, so it shouldn't take much... Besides, I feel like it's more traditional than something out of necessity.

[ Glances around at the group, gesturing where appropriate. ]

I'm Joker, Goro is Crow, Kurama is Wild, Morgana is Mona...

[ That sure is a grin. ]

You guys can pick your own, or... I'll gladly pick one for you.

[ DON'T LET HIM DO IT. ]

[founderinglight]

...I mean, if it's tradition, then I have no objections. I do insist upon veto rights, however.

[promittere]

[The Rogue. Of course the secret back entrance is with the Rogue. Like most things Lucians do, it's incredibly on the nose.]

Nothing wrong with a little tradition.

[Or for having a ridiculous code name. Go for the gold, Akira.]

[byanyother_name]

If Joker is suggesting and Izunia has veto rights, we'll be here all day. Besides, we already have a King.

[Kurama was watching the ridiculousness which was codename distribution among the survivors. He remembers that. Akira will try to make them veto because that's the sort of person he is.

Mulling over what he himself knows of Izunia, though...]

If I may, I think perhaps Rook might be appropriate for Izunia.

[founderinglight]

That's perfectly acceptable to me.

[riderofcharlemagne]

[Astolfo enthusiastically raises his hand immediately after Izunia's codename is approved.]

Do me next!

1/2

[beguiledcard]

[ He approves of Rook.

Astolfo gets a small grin. Hmmm... ]

Pinky.

[ DEAR GOD WHY DOES ANYONE LET HIM SPEAK. ]

[beguiledcard]

[ But, okay, time to be more serious.

>Spark
>Blaze
>Glimmer ]

Blaze?

[ It might sound silly, but there's hidden meaning. His personality is like a powerful inferno that's capable of shining light into even the darkest of times. ]

[foolishjustice]

Fitting, given his Arcana.

[riderofcharlemagne]

[Pinky got a joking huff out of him, but Blaze...

...he grins.]

I like it!

[He doesn't quite get the meaning, but it feels bright, energetic, a glowing spectacle, and that's all good to him.

To Goro, he curiously tilts his head:]

My Arcana?

[founderinglight]

And I suppose we can always continue to call Ignis 'Specs,' since I imagine by now he's used to answering to it. That just leaves one.

[His eyes drift over to where Junpei was playing with the cognitive hiding.]

[misanthropicprinciple]

[Hey, he's also looking for the Rogue! It's not only playing. Just mostly.]

What? Me? I get one, too?

[Fun fact: Junpei explicitly gets locked out of having a codename in his first game. He thinks about it, hand to his chin, then suggests:]

How about Player?

[promittere]

Specs is more than fine. [Even though it's not as punny as he would hope. Someday, he'll get to go by something more clever.]

Player seems to fit the theme, if we're to be on the stage.

[And, you know. Meta, yadda yadda.]

[beguiledcard]

[ Does he seem to be glancing to the side somewhat awkwardly over that last codename?

... naaaaah... ]

All right, those work for me.

[founderinglight]

[It's okay, Akira, you can fight your issues another day.]

If that's settled, shall we go find ourselves a queen?

[byanyother_name]

[Maybe not just Akira, if the brief hint of too-neutral on Kurama's face is an indicator. But his voice is as steady as ever.]

Let's. I'm curious to see this queen you associate so strongly with sneaking in.

[Kurama -Wild- disappears into the cover of the statues with practiced smoothness.]

[beguiledcard]

[ And he doesn't hesitate to disappear right after Wild!

No outfit aside, he's very clearly used to rushing right on forth, all the while being stealthy. Let's do this! ]
