Horrible Name Lad chimed in.  "I think I can help with slogans then! 
'Merissa:  Running into the ground to meet the LNH where you are!'"

Merissa considered.  "Obviously if I use the *opposite* of your slogans, 
it could work...  'Merissa:  Running to take the LNH into the sky!"

Occultism Kid responded, "But what's that even mean?"

Painful Pun Person chimed in... "Doesn't matter!  It sounds good!"  Then 
he inserted a particularly painful pun.

As everyone else groaned, Marvel Zombie Girl said, "Thank you for doing 
that off-panel."
