To Cyrania de Bergerac:

Sorry to have run over your characters! I was grabbing time between a meeting and the appointment to get my new glasses. Yay, goodbye migraine!

No, I like Blaine Vernet very, very much. I don't know why I glitched on AL. Was Hercules in the Odyssey? I didn't think he was. I'll check.

Dump Coal. Blaine Vernet has to be represented in the team name (B or V).

Some of our choices are going to have to keep the color rules in mind all the way. We've got Blaine for yellow, AL for gray/silver, Father Brown and Nick/someone Charles/someone for two other colors. I wasn't sure that giving Father Brown his own name would be too much of a clue, but it might work if people ask 'Did Father Brown have a first name?' and tend to answer no, and delete that idea from their minds.

I know what you mean about finding colors for O and B. The best I could come up with were opal and oxblood. We can't have opal; it doesn't represent Blaine Vernet. Oh, wait, Perry isn't in the lineup, Alvis is! Man, do I need sleep! Oh, well, working this out is a delicious challenge and I'm still having fun!

Going back to run my quill pen through my idiotic ideas and do some searching. Does it matter that we're picturing Nick and Nora as in the movies, comedic, and the rest very serious? Just asking. Nick wasn't actually the Thin Man, it was the villain, you see. But the movies liked The Thin Man as an easy way to introduce the movie. The story isn't comedic. Family relationships go boom.
