Hugs,everyone!

I just re-read the IC thread (which was a blast! Everyone should do it once in a while! :) ) and I noticed something that troubles me a little..

All the Angels that we have encountered have Celestial names and Role names..

While it makes sense for the angels to think of themselves by their Celestial name, and possibly to introduce themselves to other angels with their Celestial names, while talking in public places, like the cafe, we should all be calling each other by our Role names..

It would be pretty problematic for Rina-el, for instance, to be remembered by other people (not Celestials) as anything other than Jasmine.. Otherwise confusion will prevail and that is likely to endanger both her "day job" and her ability to gather information..

So while I was probably just as bad as everyone else with this separation, from now on I will *think* using Celestial names (including speaking of myself as Rina-el thinks, etc) and *talking* using Role names (Rina-el turns to Shenmachel and says, "Why Gerhard, you have great legs!", etc)

Hugs! :)
