UN: Red Robin

[mostdangerousbird]

[ Tim has gotten his hands on a second earpiece, and he wants everyone to know. ]

I think everyone’s life needs more and less confusion. If you know me, I can be reached here. If you don’t, I can still be reached here, but I’m going to ask why.

I’m not that Robin, so don’t cross the streams. I’m the one who wears more color.

Literal or figurative?
I ask because I was prompted to find a bat for Aurora's scavenger hunt, and at first I thought it was referring to the literal animal, but now I'm not so sure, as they seem to be in short supply.

[mostdangerousbird]

I can't answer that question without puncturing the mystique.

[furiousfists]

Ah yes, more super-vigilante secrets...

un: robin

[brat]

Literal bats.
He spent the first thirteen years of his life inside a cave, going out only after dusk to eat insects.

[mostdangerousbird]

Its why the mask has lenses. Bright lights hurt.

Oh, and the cape hides the wings.

[brat]

Maybe you should go by "Batboy" instead.

[mostdangerousbird]

Ew, no. The Joker would abbreviate to B.B., and then I’d have to clean my own vomit off the suit.

[furiousfists]

I should have guessed you two knew each other.
Is there a whole party of Robin-related vigilantes out there somewhere, running about and fighting crime?

[brat]

No.

[furiousfists]

Then what? One of you decided to copy the other?

[mostdangerousbird]

Also no.

[furiousfists]

Complete coincidence, then?

[brat]

It's irrelevant.

[furiousfists]

Seems interesting, though.

But... If you say so.

Sorry - twas on vacation

[mostdangerousbird]

There's a finite number of nouns and adjectives that would make an interesting codename.

No worries!

[furiousfists]

What, not interested in neologisms or portmanteaus?

[mostdangerousbird]

You want something easy to say and remember. If it shortens into something more comfortable for your teammates to call you, even better. Something new is only going to trip people up.

It could be worse. I could be Kite-Man. Or the Condiment King.

[furiousfists]

PLEASE tell me those aren't actual people you know!!

[mostdangerousbird]

"Know" is way too broad, but I've apprehended both.

[furiousfists]

Brilliant. Does Condiment King have sauce-themed abilities?

[mostdangerousbird]

He carries twin guns of ketchup and mustard.

And hot sauce for close-quarters combat.

[furiousfists]

I love him already.

[mostdangerousbird]

I guess if you're going to love a villain... you don't have any allergies, do you?

[furiousfists]

Nope. Why, is there a Pollen King as well? Or a Peanut King?

[mostdangerousbird]

Not YET, but I think you've jinxed me.
