enjolras: We are not calling ourselves Apollo Booze.
enjolras: I refuse.
grantaire: This is a democracy, oh fearless leader. We'll vote on it.
grantaire: You know the wonderful thing about a vote? If you rearrange the letters, you get veto.
grantaire: Ergo, you can have one or the other. Not both. Because you don't have enough letters.
combeferre: Uh, R, we all veto things and vote on things all the time.
courfeyrac: I think he's being metaphorical. Badly metaphorical.
grantaire: Naturally.
enjolras: R.
grantaire: Yes?
enjolras: We are not calling ourselves Apollo Booze.
grantaire: But it works so well!
enjolras: It makes us sound like we're hipster micro-brewers.
courfeyrac: We're not?
enjolras: No.
prouvaire: Speak for yourself.
enjolras: Fine. None of us but Prouvaire are hipsters.
prouvaire: Thank you. I appreciate not experiencing hipster-erasure, oh fearless leader.
prouvaire: ...
prouvaire: Um, everyone.
grantaire: Stop looking at me like that.
combeferre: R, stop stealing Prouvaire's laptop.
grantaire: I was liberating it for the people. And the people's booze.
courfeyrac: I don't mind the Apollo, but I'm not sure about the booze part.
enjolras: I *do* mind the Apollo.
grantaire: Oh come on. That wasn't what you said last night. (Yes, actually.)
combeferre: Guys, I'm in the middle of class. You have to stop making me laugh. It's inappropriate.
joly: Stop checking your phone. That's really unhygienic
prouvaire: Aren't you guys in the same class?
courfeyrac: Combeferre, pay attention to your toads.
joly: It's not toads today.
feuilly: I don't even want to know.
enjolras It's nice to see someone in here being sensible.
courfeyrac: I resent that. I'm 60% sensible.
courfeyrac: 70% if I feel like it.
courfeyrac: 80% if combeferre is sitting on me.
laigleakabossuet: Which of you assholes set my phone to ping to Tik Tok?
laigleakabossuet: *begrudgingly wades through scroll-up* I see Grantaire's got something stuck up his ass again...
laigleakabossuet: are we REALLY still talking about names, guys?
laigleakabossuet: didn't we decide on it last night? (shut up R)
grantaire: *shuts up* *kinda* *okay not at all*
enjolras: YES WE DECIDED ON A NAME LAST NIGHT.
enjolras: IGNORE EVERYTHING GRANTAIRE SAYS.
grantaire: OUR FEARLESS LEADER HAS SPOKEN, DAMMIT. OUR FEARLESS LEADER HAS SPOKEN.
laigleakabossuet: R, what the hell is wrong with Les Amis?
grantaire: Other than the fact that it's a problematic article when trying to handle it as a name in English? Is it a full name or is the article included? Will we try to correct people who call us "The Les Amis" and is that really a headache we want? Personally, that is not the hill I want to die on (note: Prouvaire just kicked me and made me erase what the hill I want to die on is, but I think we all know anyway). Will our first product be A Les Amis product? We're gonna end up constantly dodging "The The Amis" or "A The Amis" all the damn time.
enjolras: That's... actually a good point. Why didn't you say that last night?
grantaire: I said lots of things last night.
enjolras: Why didn't you say *this* last night?
grantaire: How do you know I didn't and you weren't just captivated by my gorgeous mouth?
enjolras: Why do you think you're funny?
combeferre: E & R: some of us are actually busy with things that are not your terribly awkward flirting. Can we cut to the chase?
joly: Don't listen to him. He's making hilarious faces.
grantaire: Positive reinforcement.
laigleakabossuet: R, are you legitimately trying to veto Les Amis or are you just being contrary and nitpicking?
laigleakabossuet: B/c if this is legit, I am willing to be convinced.
laigleakabossuet: But if you're just trolling, I'm going to be very passive-aggressive on your drunken ass. We decided this shit last night, we're done.
grantaire: Does no one believe I can be serious?
enjolras: I believe you can be anything you want to be.
grantaire: That's so sweet.
enjolras: I also believe you have no desire to be serious.
grantaire: I am pouting in your general direction.
prouvaire: He actually is. I'll e-mail everyone the picture.
bahorel: I'm with E. Downvote to Apollo Booze. I do not look at Apollo Booze and imagine that we are going to change the world. Or the world of alcohol.
enjolras: Thank you. R, you're outvoted.
courfeyrac: R, I'm willing to go with a Greek god, but you can't just pick Apollo just because you're feeling romantic today. Be accurate and go with Dionysus.
grantaire: I'm the resident drunkard. I feel I should be getting two votes.
enjolras: Weren't just you lecturing about democracy?
grantaire: Stop using my words against me. It's hot.
feuilly: If we're really going to open up Pandora's Box and relitigate Les Amis, I still think it's not distinctive enough.
feuilly: I do not look at Les Amis and think "that's a great place to go on a Friday night with my friends and drink interesting alcoholic beverages and hang out with Prouvaire's hipster brethren and possibly change the world of club scenes for the better."
feuilly: Instead, I think it's just another Bel Ami knock-off.
bahorel: Sometimes I think we all watch far too much porn. And other times, I am sure of it.
enjolras: And some of us do not choose to partake in pornography.
grantaire: LAST NIGHT.
enjolras: THAT WAS DIFFERENT.
courfeyrac: I didn't actually need to know that, guys. Honestly.
enjolras: It was just some life modeling. It wasn't a big deal. R's just being R.
grantaire: You wound me in my beating artistic heart, Apollo.
laigleakabossuet: Who's up for calling this "give us money so we can send E and R to couples counseling?"
joly: ME.
prouvaire: This is relevant to my interests.
combeferre: +vote.
feuilly: Hell yes.
courfeyrac: Yeah, I'm on board with that, too.
bahorel: Majority wins.
