Wow, people really want her to have a fairy when grown up.
And that's one point for Tio. Will still vote for Renne though.

It's even more reason for celebration and good times when the nights get long and you need something to look forward to. What's traumatic about that?

We've basically been doing the same, just with Trails characters instead of Fire Emblem. To roughly summarise Tio and Renne for those unfamiliar with the series:
Both were kidnapped as young children by a Cult which used them as test subjects for a magical drug called Gnosis (Renne was also used for much, much worse). The process gave Tio enhanced senses and mathematical abilities, and made Renne a full on anime supergenius (master hacker, multiple doctorates and academic papers published under psuedonyms. All while being eleven (twelve?))
Of the two, Tio is a closer match to Espurr's mindset (after being rescued, she was returned to her parents. But just couldn't connect to them anymore and left. Which fits Espurr's detachment). Also she uses some tech called an 'Aeon System' which, because anime, is contained in what very much resembles a cat-ear headband. Also a really big fan of a cat mascot called Mishy.
Meanwhile Renne is more of a match to Espurr's power (she was an unreasonably strong eleven year old girl. They called her 'The Angel of Slaughter' before her redemption arc. She now thinks the name is cringe.). Plus Renne's handle as a hacker is 'Kitty'.
So yeah. Some of us are pushing to name Espurr after one of two cat-themed little girls who gained power from the experiments of the monsters who kidnapped and experimented on them. It just seems fitting.
'Silver' - An Article by the Rimean Post (Canon by Nerdorama)

Also another short omake, posted with GM vetting, because I have the brainworms.
'Silver'
Perhaps the most famous name to come out of the eradication of Team Rocket in the Indigo States, despite never being confirmed as a member of Team Rocket. And indeed then, only a name, with all other details of this mysterious young person suppressed by the Indigo League and Interpol, allegedly in return for their help in finally bringing the Capos of the Rocket Organization to justice. Their name, and their rumored association with Gold Montaro, seemed like it would be left in the past, a relic of a time that the Indigo States would prefer to forget.
But of course, a name cannot simply be eradicated.
Shadowy rumors the world over still echo with the name 'Silver'. An avenger striking from the shadows, or an assassin hiding behind the name of justice. A mere whisper of the name is enough to draw the fear and attention of the underworld, to say nothing of law enforcement, the world over. No one knows how many people operate under the name 'Silver', whether it's one or a dozen, and no one knows if any of them are the original anti-Rocket crusader of Johto. What is known is that an assassination attempt on Rime City's mayor in March of this year invoked Silver's name as a decoy to panic the police...which many have taken to mean that the RCPD is in fact aware of Silver's presence in the city-state. Clarification from the department has not been forthcoming.

Silver as the first Yin at least... That would make sense

I see ??? has taken on an alias.
I suppose it's very convenient to have one. But I think it's a shame. Not many people can pronounce ???, so for one of the few people who can to stop using it is tragic.
It is at this point I remembered what 'Yin' means. This is some high effort wordplay.

God I love it when we get to see things from the pokemons' perspectives. Also love it when they apparently have very elaborate flowery names compared to the mundane ones the humans call them by. Lovely to see our tiny psychic friend is sloooowly but surely warming up to us.

You honestly give us a quest where the objective is literally finding a stick and expect us to vote for anything else? Also would like more charm because it'll be useful for social rolls and, most importantly, possibly cause Erika even more gay pain.
And Kitty because the adorably-shaped nuke needs an appropriately adorable name.

It's also the time of year a bunch of cultures have some sort of community celebration to ward off the darkness and celebrate the longer days coming back. It's why we have so many holidays clustered around it.

It's a very respectable name. Why, she was named after her grandmother. Skitty.
Because it's either that or 'My name is Kitty. Yes. My mother was that lazy.'

Would like either research or community, will vote for this due to having one. Would like to do the Erika one though as it seems like it could be funny especially finding out that Mary is working for the rangers.

- [X] Berry Hunt from Caller Erika

Also the funny thought with the oran berries and if they do just buy them from a store. Just seems funny that she unknowingly sent Mary to get her berries including the ones she was planning to give her. Leading to the thought of Erika requests Oran berries to give Mary, Mary buys Oran berries with her own money, Goes to give Erika the berries, Erika learns Elise and Mary are doing ranger work and she sent them to get the berries, Erika having to explain Oran berries were for Mary.
Though I suppose Elise and Mary could question who the friend might be, but could be up in the air about that.

If you want your votes to be counted they all need to be in the same post. The tally only looks at your latest vote so you'll need to edit it in.

Alas, for as much as I would love to choose Research, it doesn't seem like it has a spark of a chance. I'm finding myself more and more attached moon names…Diana, Callisto, Artemis, and Hecate all have that level of mystique, though Luna remains my favorite.

This was a really nice chapter, specially Espurr's POV. Just... fascinating.
In any case,
[X] Renne
[X] Tio
I personally don't like the name Tio because of my first language(Portuguese, basically means "uncle"), but I'll also vote for it. Would be fun to keep the Trails theme for the names.

December bday nice. Also solstice.

Stick hunt and community work. Important, *nodnod*. No berries for Erika though, sadly 😔
