Yes, it is getting quite complicated. Red Arrow and Question Lad are heroes, but they are very Post-Watchmen and Post-Starman. I go out of my way to write three-dimensional characters.

I suppose "Love's Labour's Lost" has been taken, but something similar would be interesting. "Love, Labor and Loss" or "Love, Loss and Liberty" perhaps?

I vote for "Love, Loss and Liberty" because that is what it is all about.

After I logged off I was thinking "Seeds of Destruction". The reason I like this one is because every single plot element is about some things from the past coming back to bite the LMB in the ass! In some cases it's long-simmering plots. In other cases it's backstories of the characters suddenly coming to a boil. And a lot of it is simply character flaws. I suppose you could argue that's true of many of our major roleplays, but it seems especially true of this one somehow.
I suppose whether the "Love, Loss and Liberty" name is perfect hinges on whether the romace/love aspect is as key as I perceived it last night. There were a number of quiet scenes last night that struck me that way.
Of course a more catchy name might be "Bees, Bots & Despots", which would encapsulate the threats pretty well. (Kinda like that one the more I think about it! ) It's kinda on the whimsical side but also entirely appropriate.
(If everyone's in love with the LLL title, though, I'll shut up!)

If you use "Bees, Bots, and Despots" can I have Question Kid mock it? He is (if you couldn't guess) highly based on Steve Ditko's creations, and getting increasingly angry with the management decisions of the Security Office.

Rather then send individual PM's I wanted to just give a heads up that I think I have to bow out from the remainder of this roleplay. I was pretty excited about hopping in at the beginning, but due to other commitments, haven't been able to contribute as much as I would have liked.
At last writing, the "Ex" character was felled by the Red Bee and shipped off to the hospital, so I think it best to just leave him there for a while. I'll pick up his story at a later date. It's a bit hard to accomodate a relatively low-powered character into action-based stories anyway (which just totally raises my respect for writers who are able to use Legionnaires like Dream Girl and Matter-Eater Lad well).
That being said, I do think this is one of the best RP's I've seen in my time here, and I'll be reading along. If I get a vote in the name, I dig "Bees, Bots, and Despots," as well... it sounds like a riff on "Bee Bop A Loo Bop".
