[No Octopus suit for you this time, Tranquility. Instead, LB is in her typical silver plug suit looking down at the communicator, set on her bed. Hell yes, she was bored, but at this point, she was smart enough to not explore very far without supervision -- and supervision would make it all pointless anyway.
But hey, it's been a while since she's said anything on the network anyway -- odd, considering she felt more at ease on the network than dealing directly with people -- might as well have a little fun with it.]
Heheheh... so I've been here probably about a year? [Because with everyone apparently missing a jump, who knows how much time had really passed.] But I still never really get used to how peaceful this place is, compared to where I came from.
[Yes, really.]
That got me thinking, though. In my world, nearly every soldier was named after an animal their superiors felt represented them. Like -- eheheh -- someone who was swift and efficient might be called "Eagle" or someone who eats a lot would be called "Pig". Or if you were a really useful, sometimes they'd add something you're famous for before your title. Like, uh, Sniper Wolf and Vulcan Raven were legendary soldiers, were I was from. And me? I somehow got two with Laughing Octopus and Laughing Beauty.
[Her shoulders raise up in a shrug.] Don't ask me why they thought the second name was necessary -- eeheehee -- I'm not really sure myself.
But, anyway! If you had to choose your own name, what do you think they'd choose for you?
[LB sometimes liked to think of names for other people she knew, but she might as well open the floor to everyone else; get to know more people in the process.]

[SHE HAD VERY BAD EXPERIENCES WITH CULTS, THANK YOU VERY MUCH.]
audio
Yeah, for a while. It was just a bunch of bandits that were amazed I could scorch them into a pile of ashes in seconds.

[Trying to rationalize this so hard, because Lilith seemed pretty cool before this.]

[Because if nothing else, LB knew just how fanatical cults could get over the stupidest thing and you really couldn't gave any control over it.]
Firehawk, though? I guess at the very least, that is pretty catchy. Thought you'd be a Skag kind of girl, though.

Heehee! But seriously, you have wings of fire? That's pretty cool.
audio
Yeah, it comes with being a Siren.
audio
And there's only a certain amount in the world at a time, right? Hahaha -- so basically, you were probably like some sort of angel to these cultists. Guess it's not hard to see why they would worship something like that.

[Yeah, that was a little weird.]
Did that actually accomplish anything?

Ahahaha... well... at least you were able to get them in time. Hopefully that stopped them for good...?
audio

Still, hahaha. Must have felt good to at least stop a little bit of what they were doing.
