Chapter 74: Names and Things

Candequeen:

Did you guys see Vert's announcement?

The message appeared on Dylan's computer just as he finished up his workout for the day. It had been a few weeks since his face-off with John, and Dylan had spent all his time in game hanging out with his new friends. Dr. Zlo immediately went to work crafting his Zlobots and finishing the levitation engines. Along the way, Rampart and the rest of his team joined up.

The team of heroes joined up with Sweet Dream to make an entire slew of videos for their new channel. Now all it needed was a name. The whole group was going to get on later to discuss that part of the channel, though Dylan expected either Dextra or Riptide to have the best answers. He learned Dex was a pro at finding a good name for things, while Riptide came up with off-the-wall ideas that stuck for longer than they should.

Dylan leaned into his chair as he read his friend's message, and the message that came after.

Surfsup26:

I heard something about it, but didn't see it

Candequeen:

They teamed up with the big three consoles.

Dylan's eyes widened in surprise.

Superfan39526:

What?

Surfsup26:

Dude! No way

Candequeen:

Yes way. The VIS is now compatible with the other consoles.

Mintendo even announced its working on a Xelda game for it

Superfan39526:

Aw, not Netroid?

They haven't announced a new one of those for ages

Surfsup26:

Dude its a new XELDA GAME

IN VR

IM SO PUMPED AAAA

Candequeen:

But you know what this means right?

Superfan39526:

What?

Candequeen:

We're going to get a lot of new players.

Which means we need to get our video out.Geett the latest novels at novel35.com

If the new people see the vid, maybe we can get enough for a petition with Vert

Surfsup26:

Dude, yeah!

I've been thinking of names

But couldn't get anything good

Dylan had been thinking of names too, but there were never instances of heroes and villains working together in comics. Well, there were, but not for very long. Not enough to create a team name.

"Rampart said he's a few minutes out. Thanks for making all the gear by the way."

Dylan shrugged, "It wasn't hard once you got all the stuff."

"Still," Thomas said. "I know your whole thing isn't being a crafter. So I appreciate you going out of your way to help."

Dylan squirmed a bit, unused to the direct praise. "Did you think of any names for the channel and faction?" he asked, changing topics.

Thomas nodded, "Somewhat. But I don't want to say anything until the others get here."

Nodding in understanding, Dylan joined the others to wait. True to his word, Rampart appeared a few seconds later with his team in tow. "Everyone here?" he asked.

"Still need Riptide," Sweet Dream said.

A sea-blue blur whipped by the group and smacked into the wall. Dylan groaned as the structure cracked under the strike. Bits of the building fell down, covering the arrival with a cloud of dust.

Riptide sat up and exclaimed, "I'm here, dudes!"

"So we see," Thomas smirked. "But, you should work on keeping your destruction to a minimum."

"Will do, dude," Riptide replied. He brushed dust off his shirt and pushed between Sweet Dream and Nikola to sit.

"Alright, did anyone come up with a good name?" Thomas started.

Dylan shook his head, "I tried to see if there was anything for heroes and villains teaming up, but all I got were fanfictions, a lot of them bad erotica."

Sweet Dream snorted, "I coulda told you that. But I've got nothing either. My mind kept circling back to candy-themed names, which isn't what we want."

Merla spoke up, "I was thinking something like menagerie. Since everyone can join regardless of morality, the word seemed fitting."

"That's not bad," Nikola said. "We are a collection of players."

"I was thinking we could try to do something with power, or superpower," Oro said. "Since we're all powered individuals."

"I don't know, dude," Riptide said. "I don't think we could find something that rolled off the tongue with powered."

"I wanted to ask," Titan said. "Are we a roleplaying guild? I know Dr. Zlo and Dextra roleplay, and you all know I do as well."

"That's a good question," Merla said. "I'm not really here to make a character."

"Zlo and I were talking about that earlier," Thomas said. "Right now, places like the Ooc Lounge are specifically out of character. You can talk in character, but don't expect others to follow along. There will be areas in the future that are roleplaying only, mostly cafes and the like. But to answer your question, this faction is mostly to convince Vert to let us influence the world. Roleplaying can be involved, but the guild isn't a roleplaying guild."

"Then, I think we should actually split things up," Titan said. "Have a hero and villain guild united under the same banner, with each of them having sub-guilds. That way we can have something for everyone."

"How would you deal with villains controlling the city?" Dylan asked.

Titan waved a hand, "Just, use your secret identity when running the day-to-day."

"That was my answer," Thomas said. "I do like the idea of splitting the guild into their own sub-guilds. But we still need an overall name."

"Well, you haven't said anything yet, and I know you have one," Rampart said.

"What about, The Revue?" Thomas inquired.

"What, like a game review?" Merla asked.

"No, like a show or performance. But I will admit the name is a double meaning for both types. We're going to be putting on a show for others, hence the first part of the name, but we're also planning to critique Vert's choices. Therefore, why not use a word that could mean both."

"I like it," Dylan said.

"Yeah, it fits pretty well," Sweet Dream agreed.

"I dunno," Oro said. "It seems a bit too focused on the performance aspect. I think Merla's name is a better fit."

"I like both, dudes," Riptide said.

"Let's put it to a vote then," Thomas said. "All in favor of Menagerie?"

A few hands went into the air.

Thomas counted the hands then spoke, "All in favor for the Revue?"

Another group of hands went into the air.

"Well, that settles it then," Thomas said as he finished counting.
