internet, meet [insert title of glam's webseries]

[mxglam]

To Glam's continued delight, more kissing sessions happen on the following days (when they're feeling like a boy). They haven't met her parents as her official boyfriend or girlfriend or whatever yet, and don't mind it too much.

News about Purity's escape surprises exactly no one, but the Protectorate's reputation suffers a blow because of the attack; after all, the heroes were beaten on their home turf. The PHO forums are abuzz, though rumors of Glam's death at the hands of Hookwolf (probably started by same) prove largely unfounded.

And Glam really should get to their webisodes and start building a steadier rep. And that's (one of the reasons) why they're in Lorica's workshop a few days later.

"So what should I do? I haven't posted anything since Purity, should probably make this more of a habit."

"And that is kinda hot. Having invented a programming language, that is."

[thinkering]

"It's pretty typical for software Tinkers."

[mxglam]

"Maybe so, but I'm in love with this particular software Tinker, so. Hot."

[thinkering]

"I'm telling her you said that," singsongs the bot.

[mxglam]

"Please and thank you."

[thinkering]

It giggles Lorica's giggle.

[mxglam]

They hug the shoulderbot and wait.

[thinkering]

Eventually Lorica comes out of fugue. She laughs when the bot relays the assessment that her programming language is hot.

[mxglam]

"I gather it's told you?"

[thinkering]

"Yes. The programming language, like the bot, still lacks a name, alas."

[mxglam]

"Still hot. And speaking of names, I haven't actually thought of one for the webseries."

[thinkering]

"Hm. Would you say it has a theme of any kind? A public one, I mean."

[mxglam]

"Power testing? Power showing off? Practicing stuff so that it becomes good enough to murder Behemoth? I mean, there'll be that, and also commented footage of stuff."

[thinkering]

"'Kay. Tone?"

[mxglam]

"Me, probably. Light-hearted, somewhat whimsical- maybe you want to watch what I have so far?"

[thinkering]

"Sure."

[mxglam]

They grab their laptop and play the edited video.

[thinkering]

"Okay, well, we've established that I'm not very good at naming things, but you could just go with calling the series 'Glam'."

[mxglam]

"Glam dot com's taken, apparently. I would prefer Glam to be in the name or something, people looking my name up and finding the videos should be common."

[thinkering]

"You can call the series Glam even if you can't get the domain."

[mxglam]

"I gueeeeesssss. What would the domain name be?" They look at the robot. "What about Glam dot net?"

[thinkering]

"Open," reports the bot.

[mxglam]

"What's even on Glam dot com?"

[thinkering]

"A redirect to a fashion magazine website."

[mxglam]

"...hm. Could be worse. I wonder if they'd be willing to sell that domain."
