UN: Red Robin

[ 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.

Also no.

Complete coincidence, then?

It's irrelevant.

Seems interesting, though.

But... If you say so.

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

What, not interested in neologisms or portmanteaus?

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.

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

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

Brilliant. Does Condiment King have sauce-themed abilities?

He carries twin guns of ketchup and mustard. And hot sauce for close-quarters combat.

I love him already.

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

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

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

If speaking it is enough to make it true, then I hope you meet a new hero named Million Dollar Man.

Only a million? Aim higher.

The Trillion Dollar Triplets, then.

Too bad you can't abbreviate it to TNT. Then you'd be onto something.

Does your world have a currency that begins with the letter N?

The naira. There's also the nakfa, but I think we should stay away from Eritrean currency, unless they specialize in human rights abuses.

Mmm, maybe not.

Maybe the Billion Electrum Twins, so they could be BET.

No cap(tain)?

No, cap(italism).
