[ ooc: this is related to harry's new power and questions will be relegated to the mods for answers. there might be a response delay while I wait for the mods to respond so just keep that in mind! ]

then why isn't it that?
did you hit the 'enter' button before finishing?
that happens to me a lot if im not careful.

Tell me, have you yet to encounter the very frustrating problem of a ‘character limit’?

i have not!
and i must say, character limit sounds very bad.
there should never be limits on the number of characters!

Indeed there should not! Why is there any sort of restriction at all? What sense does it make, to tell me that there is only limited room when it comes to my "name", but unlimited space where messages are concerned? Why not use the same system?

It is due to this strange, paradoxical problem that I have been robbed of my "ctive"!

maybe you should shorten it?
take "british" out of it?

But I am British. And great, and consulting.

yeah but you need to prioritize!
let go of british or consulting.

[But... no.]

How am I supposed to choose which to discard, like it were little more than trash? That is like a parent deciding which of their children should be sent away because there are not enough rooms in a house.

No, for now, I impress it upon others to infer the rest. "Dete" is enough to go on.

sometimes short and sweet is more of a punch!
anyway who needs to know you're british?
sounds made up.

Other British individuals! Those who hail from my Earth. I must establish connections where I can, and it is much easier to do so when I can bolster that connection with familiarity to start.

Moreover, it is part of the established introduction. "I am a great British consulting detective, the only one in the world!" It is contesting for a spot as my proper catchphrase.

im going to take a very wild assumption here and say this:
i think anyone could tell you are british if they know what british is by looking at you.

Now that is quite the assumption! And based on what? Do you think I walk about with the flag draped across my shoulders?

you are dective sholmes, right?
when we met i noticed you had an accent.
it sounded similar to the vespertines of my world.
surely people will be able to surmise your nationality based on that.

I admit you have me at a disadvantage. Have we met before? When was this?

ahaha!
see
a mystery for you to solve

[Hm.

Scrolls up to the first message.]

Harry.

no.

No, I think I am right! Mystery solved! And in a matter of seconds, as expected of a great British consulting detective.

dont you mean greatbritishconsultingdete

[Hngh.]

And another problem with your logic! Did you not say my accent is similar to a Vesper? Vespertine?

correct!
as a detective myself i will deduce that you have never heard of vesper because it does not exist in your world.

And that would be a correct deduction, though it does not completely nullify my original point. All the more reason to keep "British" in my name, otherwise I may be mistaken as a Vespertine, instead.
