[Roleplay - Drop-in] Our Avatars are Posting in a Forum Thread

not the weirdest name someone could give themself, tbh. i've seen weirder

[wingedcatgirl]

if you ask me i liked his old name better back when he was calling himself Hawk Moth

He didn't ask you.

yeah well if he ever does that's what i'm telling him

[MadameButterflyKnife]

Wouldn't you want to keep using the same name? Just because of the value of the name that you built up.

[wingedcatgirl]

hmm

i've actually had cause recently to think about such a thing myself but

That gets into secrets.

yeah

[MadameButterflyKnife]

Hm. If you're so focused on secrets, I will guess that "Jade" isn't your real name, then.

[wingedcatgirl]

define "real"

[MadameButterflyKnife]

This is a thing I have to do surprisingly often. Fitting I cannot escape it here.

I mean the name you use in your everyday life, by the way.

[wingedcatgirl]

yeah by that definition Jade is my real name

extra-real even, the rest of the system has to pretend to be me when we're talking to people who don't know

that's getting less necessary lately

that or being on the run is making it hard to talk to people generally

[KungFuCutbug]

there's no way "thunderbolt" is your actual surname, though, is it? sounds like you gave it to yourself to sound cooler, or if secret identities are involved maybe it has something to do with... i don't know, superpowers or something of the sort

[wingedcatgirl]

oh lol no

that's our system name

we don't use our real surname on the internet

[MadameButterflyKnife]

Probably for the best. You did say you were on the run. You don't usually want to give yourself away that blatantly when you are on the run and you do not have the resources to make your way out of the hole you dug yourself.

[KungFuCutbug]

figured. wasn't gonna ask you for your real surname anyway, since you said you were on the run and all. i mean, not like i could do anything with it, but

[wingedcatgirl]

it is technically entirely possible that [shadow moth] is lurking this forum lol

He reacted fast enough to Achille's evidencepost on the Ladyblog.

so you assume

... technically yes, I am making an assumption.

[MadameButterflyKnife]

Going off the reckless replicant, it seems that this thread's open to anyone from any time. Luckily, it doesn't seem too public. At least, I hope it isn't too public-some information was shared here that really should not have been. But at least-wait, question. What is the "Ladyblog."

[wingedcatgirl]

a blog about Ladybug, Cat Noir, and the other Miraculous-holding superheroes

and to some extent about Shadow Moth and Mayura, since they're the villains the heroes are usually opposing

makes sense you haven't heard of it ig, it's not really relevant outside Paris

[KungFuCutbug]

what is a miraculous

[Another post briefly appears, but then immediately gets deleted—this time, something about raising the dead.]

[wingedcatgirl]

magical jewelry that turns people into superheroes

or supervillains

the jewelry doesn't care about your morality probably because it's an inanimate object

[MadameButterflyKnife]

So you have some sort of magic powers.

[wingedcatgirl]

Well, we don't have any powers, but yes there are people running around Paris with trinkets that turn them superpowered.

(Through a heroic effort, Leo manages to prevent Jade from adding a post specifying "strictly speaking". The whole point of using exact words is to mislead people!)

[MadameButterflyKnife]

France seems interesting, to say the least.

[There is a bit of typing. Another post appears, but is quickly deleted: something about being unsure about telling a specific someone about these trinkets.]

[wingedcatgirl]

it definitely is that, yeah

[MadameButterflyKnife]

If it gives you any relief, you at least seem to be the most...adjusted French person I have met.

Yes Claire, I know you're still in this conversation.

[wingedcatgirl]

We weren't a few weeks ago 😛

? ... Gah, Le, you didn't tell me we got akumatized!

Did Isabeau not mention that during your catchup?!

... hehe, gotcha

:O Sneaky!

[KungFuCutbug]

If it gives you any relief, you at least seem to be the most...adjusted French person I have met.

Yes Claire, I know you're still in this conversation.

i am very well aware that if i were even an iota more well-adjusted, i wouldn't be dead right now

[MadameButterflyKnife]

If it makes you feel any better, Claire, you are arguably not the least well adjusted French person I know
