Order Only: Private Message to Remus

[alt_sirius]

Have you packed in yet?

I think I've got a draft worth reading (finally). Unless you're too knackered? I'd like to finish it tonight if I can do.

It's not very fiery but I think it hits the strong points.

There's a section - I want to make sure it gets to what Alice and I were talking about, the manifesto of sorts.

Society for the Restoration of Human Rights.
Organisation for Democracy
Organisation for Freedom and Equality

Perhaps I can allude to an organisation without naming it for just now.

[alt_lupin]

Do you think the whole Order needs to agree to a false name? Or is it just that you don't like any of my ideas and want to get this posted so you can go to bed?

[alt_sirius]

I think if I go ahead and choose a name so I can get this posted, we'll wake up tomorrow hating it.

Or everyone else will do. And then we shall be stuck with it forever.

Can you imagine being stuck calling ourselves 'The Rebel Alliance' only to remember that's the name of the heroes in that film Lily made us all go see? Or that we'd decided on something Dora thinks is rubbish?

[alt_lupin]

I had completely forgotten that movie.

It's a shame, because 'The Rebel Alliance' wouldn't be half bad. But you raise a good point. Forget the name, put it up, and come to bed.

[alt_sirius]

Those all sound American, Moony.

[alt_lupin]

No they don't. It would be the 'OrganiZZZZZZZation for whatever' if it were American.

[alt_lupin]

Right, then, make it the People's Council. Then we'd sound Soviet.

Or wait, there aren't Soviets anymore, are there? That was one of the things that changed after the wards went up? It's remarkably hard to remember some of this.

[alt_lupin]

Liberty, Equality, Fraternity.

Then we'd sound French.

Doubtless your protege would approve.

[alt_sirius]

Hah-bloody-hah.

Actually the French are doing better than we are at the moment. Aleks mentioned that law proposal got voted down.

[alt_lupin]

Good for them.

Imagine if we'd had the chance to put any of this business to a vote.

[alt_sirius]

That's a whole other Grim Truth topic.
