"I don't remotely care."

'Arc' and 'McLaren' exchange a look.

"Uh," says the one.

"But what if we kind of hate them," says the other.

"Well, I don't mind 'Red'," the third undistinguished Tony says with a shrug. His nametag updates.

"I mean," 'McLaren' continues, "not that I don't love the car, because I do love the car, but I don't want to be the car."

"And 'Arc' just sounds weird, I mean, it's an arc reactor, why not just call me 'Fusion', it's still dorky but it makes slightly more sense."

"Picky, picky," snorts Juliet. "Fusion's fine. As for you," she says to the one with the car-colored coin, "I'm out of other ideas."

"...I think it's your screwdriver, from your Games," Shell Bell realizes aloud to her Tony, frowning at his illusion square.

Permalink

"...You know what," he says, "Screwdriver's better than Aluminum. I'll take it."

Permalink

The car-coloured Tony shrugs. "Let's put the pressure on somebody else for a minute," he suggests. "Like, say, my Sherry." He points at the one with the sky-grey square.

"...Looks like a cloud to me," says Juliet. "How's Cloud? I'm starting to find it kind of miraculous that I kept the nickname my Sherlock gave me considering that there's so little overlap in taste, though, so I won't be stunned if you reject it."

Shell Bell glances at Iron Man. "D'you want to name your world? Or should I talk to Darcy about that instead?"

Permalink

"Talk to Darcy," he says, "I have no idea."

Permalink

"...So little overlap?" he asks. "How do you mean?"

Permalink

[Darcy, wanna name your world?]

Permalink

"My ideas are not meeting with much approval here. Of course no one should start going by a nickname they hate just to soothe my ego, but meanwhile I am... hmm... yeah, the only Bell known who didn't pick her own nickname, except Golden who was named by other Bells, and I like being Juliet just fine. Asymmetrical." She shrugs. "Not a big deal. Cloud or not Cloud?"

Permalink

"It is the Tonies who have been rejecting your naming suggestions thus far."

Permalink

[...Nine Realms?] says Darcy. [It's what the Asgardians call it.]

Permalink

"And Pearl over there," Juliet says. "It's not a big deal."

Permalink

[Is there a less - plural - word for it? That's kind of a weird name for one of many worlds.]

Permalink

"Well, 'Cloud' makes me sound like a pony, but I don't have a better option, so Cloud it is."

Permalink

[Not really. Asgard, Midgard - that's Earth - Jotunheim, Muspellheim, Vanaheim, Niflheim, Alfheim, Svartalfheim, and Hel. Nine realms, one universe.]

Permalink

"The best Darcy can do for your world is 'Nine Realms'," Shell Bell tells Iron Man.

Permalink

[How about Yggdrasil?] suggests Jane, to Shell Bell, Iron Man, and Darcy.

Permalink

"So, so tempted to call you Pony now," Juliet tells Cloud.

Permalink

[...It would be kind of like calling the solar system 'Gravity',] says Darcy. [I mean, to an Asgardian. But I guess if there's no Yggdrasil in the rest of the worlds, it's actually pretty good.]

Permalink

"Bite your tongue," he snorts.

Permalink

She sticks out her tongue at him in the course of biting it. "Cloud it is," she says. "And now you're the last one," she adds to Car-Color Tony.

Permalink

[Let it be so,] giggles Shell Bell.
