[It's that guy again! He still sounds pleasant at least.]

I wish to make a suggestion that we find ways to make ourselves... visibly identifiable even when in monstrous forms, as members of the convoy and thus ideally not a marauding wild beast even if we are acting like one. Something beyond our often hidden sigils, that an unthinking creature is unlikely to imitate. What exactly, I am open to recommendations for. I suspect friend-or-foe ID chips might be beyond what this place is capable of.

[The rest sounds extremely reluctant.]

I don't have as much control of the ... thing ... I become as I would like, and though I am reasonably sure I can keep from doing serious intentional harm to allies, I can't guarantee my behavior might not match that of a feral creature and thus seem to be a viable target for hunting. Especially as it seems intent on establishing a ... pecking order, and aggressively.

... I suspect I'm not the only one who has such concerns. These changes are uncomfortably unpredictable.

I love this idea~!

I'm just throwing this out there, and people can disagree. But they'd be foolish if they did.

We should all get ~FRIENDSHIP BRACELETS!~

You can thank me later.

[firstsoldier]

[His tone changed just slightly, almost amused but surely not as he has no humor.]

Not a terrible idea, but what would you suggest to make them easily spotted from a bit of a distance? And are friendship bracelets not covered in charms? We'd have to make them.

[guidemyway]

So we have to be a little creative here. But we're on a big road trip, and I'm pretty sure there's got to be some good high vis jackets and stuff hanging around. We use the reflective bits of those to make the bracelets.

As for the charms. I'm happy to get a group arts and crafts session started up. Or we use bits and bobs that we find on the road.

[firstsoldier]

Let's see what you come up with then. I've got a bit of reflector strip that can be removed from the side of my truck, it's not much use.

[guidemyway]

It's a start!

There has to be a few unused vehicles around here that might have some too. Or some safety vests.

I'll get to work as soon as I can.

[firstsoldier]

It's been suggested that we consider 'sports jerseys' instead, as a bracelet might not be visible from anything but short range. Would you have a color preference, if consensus is reached on that?

[guidemyway]

Team jerseys!?

Okay. I'm sold. This might be the best idea we've had yet.

I'm definitely a red sort of girl. But I'm open to other options as well.

[firstsoldier]

The only other suggestions so far are tablecloth checkers and blue, but not one specific shade of blue that is currently ambiguous.
