"Helloooo! You've reached Jaune Arc! If I'm not answering, it means I'm probably off somewhere fighting monsters or... doing something really awesome like saving a cat, or the president's son! You know how it is, a leader's schedule can be really hectic nowadays, ha ha! Just kidding, I'm probably in school, but I'd totally do those things if I ha-- [BEEP]"

It's fine as long as we think of it now, right? Let's make some.

[.....also she has a guess of why he's asking her if she has a nickname but the only one she has is "Untouchable Empress" and no one is allowed to call her that except Hyoubu. Even then he's only allowed because she considers him as senile and Minamoto keeps saying they need to be nice to elders (or hey, just nicer in general).]

And not really. My code number back home was C-03 but I guess that doesn't really count.

[beaconed]

C-03? [ He had heard of code names, but code numbers? It sounds so clinical to someone from a world like Jaune's. ] ...Did you like that?

action

[good_ideas]

[She sighs.]

I don't hate it.

[Not anymore. It's a designation and maybe when she was little she would have hated it. But nowadays the people who use it don't treat her like a thing. And she's Shiho to them first before she's ever C-03.]

People don't really give me nicknames, you know? [It's either Shiho, Sannomiya, or "Please, please don't tell anyone about my embarrassing past."

Okay, and Kaz called her "Mimi".]

action

[beaconed]

Well, I can't call this gun C-03, so what should we call it? Remember, it's gotta be legendary!

action

[good_ideas]

[He's naming a gun after her.]

Legendary-

[But the only vaguely legendary name she can think of is that awful one that Hyoubu came up with and she refused to humour him. Or worse yet: Encourage him??]

...What's wrong with just...using my actual name?

action

[beaconed]

Nothing, nothing! I love your name! It would just... get kinda confusing... heh. You know, like... "I left Shiho on my bed to charge". Sounds a bit weird, right? Hence why I was hoping you'd have an alias...

[WHAT ARE YOU SAYING TO AN IMPRESSIONABLE HIGH SCHOOL GIRL, JAUNE]

action; 2/2

[good_ideas]

[No, be cool, Shiho.]

Well. Yeah. I-I guess.

...How about you just give me an alias or something, then? I'll use it.

[beaconed]

Psychometer!!!!

action; 2/2

[beaconed]

W-Wait, no, that's... that's a secret. Right.

--Oh! I know! Shiho, I have an idea!

action;

[good_ideas]

[He's lucky she spoils her friends otherwise she would have said something sarcastic about how she isn't the only psychometer here..]

Okay. Let's hear it.

action;

[beaconed]

Okay, check it out. You have the power to track-slash-read anything you touch, right? But it's also a secret, so we can't call it esper or psych-- you know what I mean!

So how about we call it "Tracer"? [ GET IT? ] That way, I think of you when I use this gun-- which I guess I already do anyway since I wouldn't have it if it weren't for you, so... so it fits! Right?

[good_ideas]

[Her eyes actually widen as he makes his suggestion and as soon as he's done she's smiling.]

That's pretty clever, actually.

[Not to mention legendary enough that even Hyoubu would approve.]

It fits perfectly. [She tries not to feel too giddy over the thought that he'd think of her whenever he uses the gun.]
