eight | what an event

[thneed]

The magnet guy is not going kill me?
And nobody that was kidnapped should be mad?
And nothing's really damaged?
Nothing got hurt for real.

It's okay because it was fake island stuff.

.....right?
How bad can I possibly be?

I'd never give anyone an embarrassing nickname!

[The face of innocence.]

Just to make sure... What would you consider embarrassing?

[thneed]

I'm not telling you. You might use it.

[alwaysimpure]

That's an unfounded assumption!

[thneed]

It's a safety precaution learned from years of living with my brothers.

[alwaysimpure]

The ones with normal names?

[thneed]

Brett and Chet.

[alwaysimpure]

...not saying they should have, but why in Merlin's name didn't your parents just call you, I don't know, Set?

[thneed]

My first name is supposed to be 'Once' and the first letters of my last name are 'Ler' and she signed the e with a line coming from it because she wrote it really fast so it looked like a hyphen and put part of the last name on the first line before realizing it and stopped and it just came out as one really big first name... A The got in there because I had a different name at first but it didn't get scribbled out all the way.

They didn't bother to fix it.

[alwaysimpure]

How about 'Rambler'?

Sorry. Lucked out in the parents department, hm?

[thneed]

No.

Don't joke like that. My mom is a wonderful woman.

[alwaysimpure]

No offense meant, I'm sure she is.

What do you do on the island?

[thneed]

I'm an entrepreneur. I make and sell things. I own the pizza place.

[alwaysimpure]

My friend and me are going to open a magic shop, so we'll be in the business of making and selling things soon, too.

[thneed]

You know opening a business is hard work. Do you have enough to get yourself off the ground? Did you pick a space for it yet?

[alwaysimpure]

We took a loan, so we should be fine. Already have a place downtown, so seems like we're mostly set. Working on manufacturing, advertising and research now.

[thneed]

Do you need any help? I'm pretty good with marketing.

[alwaysimpure]

Oh, a little help can't hurt! What do you have in mind?

[thneed]

Depends. What's the name of the place? You need a nice logo so you have a good sign on your place in good complimentary colors. And then we make poster-flyers. You never hand them out because that's just annoying and you place them strategically in places. A good one at eye-level can really get you noticed. Mmhm. Also catchy jingles. You can never ever go wrong with catchy jingles.

[alwaysimpure]

We haven't decided on the name or logo yet. But red and gold are the best colours. I like the idea of jingles...

[thneed]

You can't start on a jingle without a name. You have to talk that name one out. That's the most important part about these things. It's got to be something that sticks in the head and gets remembered easily.

[alwaysimpure]

I'll bring it up to my partner. Marauder Magic, maybe.
