...Don't use your real names. Come up with nicknames. For the rest of the Jaunt, as far as you know, I'm Valerie Halle. If anyone asks for your name, be sure to say "People call me blah" and use the nickname.
Polite names they accept are The Fair Ones or the Good Neighbors or the Shining Host.

...my "roommate" is super freaking out that I knew her real name on account of it being my real name, so. Let's not spread our true names around, OK?
