- Probably not, but the offer is appreciated.
Fall - *Opens a portal and waves goodbye before walking in.*

@Stabby

*Sighs and glances around for a moment before disappearing into a rift myself*

Flicker and Fall: See ya around then?

@Stabby

I suppose so, if you don't need a hand with anything else right now.

Myriad Reality

<Snipped quote by Revolutionary>

- Well, I'm going to be moving my civilian home and reorganizing a few things.
Fall - And I'm probably gonna see what info I can get from establishing contact with the amaranthine originator, if I can track them down. Information is power after all.

@Stabby

So we've all got something to do then, huh. I have a lot of reparations to make after the volume of what I lost.

Myriad Reality

<Snipped quote by Revolutionary>

Flicker and Fall: *We look at each other and laugh.*
Fall - I'd never thought the original naming convention would actually come full circle.
- Same.

@Stabby

So what's the plan now?

Myriad Reality

<Snipped quote by Revolutionary>

Fall - *scratches the back of my head.* There isn't except for the cases where me and my other self are in the same room.
- In which case we want to avoid what confusion we can.
Fall - Exactly. I'm liking the temporary name idea though, so I'ma gonna go by Fall now then. Thanks for the help. *Smiles and fingerguns.*

@Stabby

Yeah, no problem. Flicker and Fall, the iconic duo.

Myriad Reality

<Snipped quote by Revolutionary>

Flicker - Fair point.
...
In fact that's a very good point. I might just put it aside for now, since nothing is currently coming to mind.
- Probably the best course of action at this rate.

@Stabby

There's nothing really wrong with continuing to call you Flicker though, I feel. Or maybe I could call you "Fall" just since it's the part you're sure about right now.

<Snipped quote by Revolutionary>

Flicker - For the last half of my title name yea. Any other ideas for the first half?

@Stabby

I just provided words that would've rung similarly to the original for the first half. To try and suggest anything different wouldn't be my place, I feel. You know yourself best of all, and it should be your right to choose. Even if it isn't immediate.

Myriad Reality

<Snipped quote by Revolutionary>

- True, but personally there's a bit more meaning to it on my end than that of its more obvious definition.
Flicker - Plus, those all sound a bit too girly for my tastes. Thanks for the ideas though, reminds me that I should think about word variety for this process. Hmmm.... Something different from Flicker-Fall.
*Looks down and puts a hand to my chin.*
Kinda want to go a darker thematic route with this new title name, given the whole 'infected' status of mine. Flicker itself has a bit of implied persistence/resistance, so something of a similar tangent might fit. I'm definitely keeping the second half of this the same tho.
- Keeping the impending impact connotations, I like it.

@Stabby

So you want to keep "Fall"?

Myriad Reality

<Snipped quote by Revolutionary>

- Thanks.
Flicker - I can do that with some things, but others would take a while to get back to a similar level of progress. It would be like, ummmm, losing access to the internet when half the things you do require it.
- Fairly accurate. So what things do you want to discuss or negotiate?
Flicker - Well, I know you're not gonna just kick me out of the base until I can work towards making my own, so that's not a real concern. The main things I'm worried about are contacts, locations, and housing in the long term. Because it's either you end up moving Kate and those we care about to new locations, or I willingly/unwillingly erase that information from my memories. Losing direct access to them will suck, but I can't say for certain that this infection of mine won't have me turn on you and them in future circumstances.
- Riiiiight, that. Ummmmmm... Key locations like main housing and otherwise will probably need to change on my end, but you will probably only need to forget about the alternative locations. We'll keep in touch with the delta contact, but you'll need to figure out another title name by then. I ain't giving up the name Flicker.
Flicker - *Groans.* But I don't wanna give it up eeeeither.

@Stabby

Glimmer, Shimmer, Sparkle and Twinkle would be optimal replacement names that wouldn't surrender the meaning... Er, by my estimation, of course.

Myriad Reality

<Snipped quote by Revolutionary>

- Not just food, but housing, information, contacts, materials, and things of a much similar fashion to your facility.
Flicker - Yea. I've got, well, technically might no longer have, my own base of sorts where a lot of such things are stored. And that's not even touching upon memories stored in the brain. Sure, there'll be stuff like passcodes and otherwise that my continued self can change, but information of locations and other private weak points are kind of a big deal, especially if those I care about come into danger.
- Oh, and just a heads up, a lot of this is stuff I'm keeping secret in and of itself, so consider it as a fumbling attempt at having some honor for having learned of the facility because of the situation.

@Stabby

What if the new you just bunked with someone else while you sorted it out? And I got it, my lips are sealedamundo.
