Hey, quick survey.

Bats vs Spiders, which is better?

Alternatively, are superhero names really necessary?

EDIT:

Spiders: 9
Bats: 10
Cats: 3
Wolverines???: 1

That's fair.

[detectivedwloki]

As to your other question, I'm guessing some people have alternate names in order to have a secret identity, so in that way they might be necessary. For protection.

[squadgoal]

So I'm hearing. Is a mask really effective though? Won't people be able to guess?

[detectivedwloki]

Depends upon the mask.

[squadgoal]

Unless the mask can hide the overall shape of your head and disguise your voice, I guess that would work.

[detectivedwloki]

They gave me a name. It's in my file. But I'm no superhero.

And I don't wear any mask.

[squadgoal]

A name? Like a codename?

[detectivedwloki]

I guess so. But it's not very concise or sounds like any superhero kind of name.

[squadgoal]

What is it?

[detectivedwloki]

Seeker of Truth.

[squadgoal]

Isn't that a little . . . pretentious?

[detectivedwloki]

I didn't choose it.

Back home, I'm just a detective.

[squadgoal]

So this place chose it for you?

Can you unchoose it?

[detectivedwloki]

It's coming up on all my official records.

I suppose I could try to get the paperwork changed. but it isn't doing any real harm.

[squadgoal]

I guess not.

Though I hope no one goes around calling you seeker of truth.

[detectivedwloki]

Not yet.

[squadgoal]

Do. Do you want them to.

[detectivedwloki]

No, of course not.

[squadgoal]

Yeah. Probably for the best.
