one 🦇 #00CCFF

[batsuits]

[ So, Bruce's color is #F6DB2C but this is actually coming from #00CCFF. Wonder who that could be!! (It's Damian's handle.) ]

After recent events, I think it'd be in our best interest to take a headcount.

Please reply to this post with your name and hex code.

If you could list anyone who won't see this post either, I would appreciate that as well.

The defense force will keep a list of everyone within the town and have it updated when people arrive and disappear. It'll be good for tracking patterns on how people are brought to the town and what colors are being emphasized in particular. If we're separated again we'll know just how many people should be present and no one is lost in the shuffle.

Another thing, I'll be working on a map of the town to keep in a public space (such as, near the well) for easy accessibility. I think it would be in our benefit to add a list of residencies along with it -- name and hex code included. It would be for those who need to meet each other but have only interacted on the forums, for instance. Being able to reference a map and find someone's home from there will be helpful.

This would be an opt-in practice, you would only need to publicly list yourself if you wanted to.

Any other thoughts and comments on these two ideas would be appreciated. Thank you.

[Alas, Bruce, that's the burden of being Batman and doing nothing all day but sitting around anticipating everything ever in advance of anything ever happening, ever.]

Good, I think something like this will make a fine contribution to the overall quality of life here.

And your name is, please?

[batsuits]

[ it makes him really stressed out :( ]

That's what I hope.

Bruce Wayne. Yours?

[unfatalist]

Ignis Scientia.

[Why are names from Eos such incredible bullshit, the world may never know]

Formerly Tellus Argentum — I used that as a pseudonym of sorts, early on, but the necessity of it is largely mooted now.

[batsuits]

Oh, what happened there?

[ yeah, your name is bananas, ignis. ]

[unfatalist]

When I initially arrived, I had reason to believe I had not been brought here by...shall we say, benign forces. I merely felt it prudent to play my cards close to my chest while determining which ones the other players were holding, as it were. However, by this point I've largely come to the conclusion that there's little need for that particular precaution.

[batsuits]

[ see, if bruce was a normal person or forthright at all -- he'd tell ignis that he thought the same thing. he thought it might be wise to go by a different name and keep quiet. perhaps use the more personable persona he uses back in gotham but it's just...

not useful. not right now, not here, not with the type of people here. clark said as much, even if it still doesn't sit with bruce well. so, he'll be bruce wayne, a fairly quiet guy.

but he's not that forthright, so his reply is a little more neutral. ]

That's understandable. The community is fairly tight-knit here, it's hard to avoid the truth coming to light in that sense. Well, pleasure to meet you, Ignis.

[unfatalist]

Likewise, Bruce. I'll admit, a valiant effort was made on my part, but in the end I was outdone by a well-meaning associate of mine who kept giving away my secret identity.

In retrospect the whole business is rather humorous, really.

[batsuits]

Reminds me of a friend of mine, though without the secret identity business. The well-meaning attitude, I mean.

Are you satisfied now, in being Ignis rather than Tellus?

[unfatalist]

Well-meaning friends are always a handful, I think. Is that friend here with you?

I don't know that satisfied is the word, but I do prefer it. As the saying goes, when one tells the truth, one never has to worry about keeping one's story straight.

[batsuits]

Yes. Clark Kent is his name.

You are correct. It's why I try to be truthful myself, less pain that way.

[ bruce!! you fucking lying liar!! your secrets have secrets, you turd. ]

[unfatalist]

Ah, your friend is Mr. Kent! How charming. He contacted me recently to see about getting a few public works projects off the ground, actually. Since then we've been collaborating on a few things, mostly pertaining to enhancing the farming practices of our community garden and improving the functionality of his soapmaking endeavors.

[batsuits]

That sounds very him. He has a farm back home, this type of thing is his bread and butter.

If you need any help, well, he knows to ask me but I'll also offer my assistance to you.

[unfatalist]

He does seem to be a highly knowledgeable fellow; it's a tremendous asset to us all, I think.

At present I'm attempting to work out a system to ensure easy and reasonable access to soap, if you have any thoughts on ways of streamlining a theoretical production process.

[batsuits]

Yeah, that's Clark for you. Knows a lot, loves sharing it.

Oh, Clark brought that up to me. Hard to engineer something like that here without the right metals. I'll have to think on it some, if you don't need an answer right now.
