      Nah, she’s just the beekeeper.

          As long as she’s not herding nerfs, she’ll be okay.

    No dancing?

    And where are they supposed to escape to? Going anywhere on the water would still be inside the VR!

    I guess that working on a common task is vaguely similar to performing the same actions in sync, so maybe that’s the real point. “Could you hand me that . . . Oh wait, you did. I mean, we . . . I mean, I did.”

    [twinkly]The real escape route was working together, and the real treasure was inside us all along.[/twinkly]

      I guess that’s a better moral than, “The real escape route was getting punched in the face by a woman in the same location in three different eras.”

    As any camper will attest, the ability to wring-dry underpants while wearing them is indispensable.

      Yes, I understand now. You mean ‘your own’. I was treeing up the wrong bark, there.

    So to escape DR. Lee has to get them to work together,make the beehive behave!

    If the beach itself is the hive, Ginny may escape extirpation AS BEES. Nothing more than a personality upload to an alternative (biological) platform, after all!

      In which case, she’ll presumably have to name herself after a dance.

      Polka? Can-Can? Jig?

        Surely the Virginia reel would be the obvious choice

    Gee, I thought Dr. Lee just went out to the walnut farm and had dinner.

      We don’t really know how much time has passed, either in reality or in VR. But you can learn a lot in a short period of time.

      That said, I would have thought Virigina would have learned how to wring-dry underpants while still wearing them at some earlier point involving Tip, Artie, and mojo.

        I suppose it doesn’t matter when she learned this trick—so long as we get to see her do it.

        The phrases “Tip, Artie, and mojo” and “still wearing underpants” don’t make any sense together. On the other hand, she might have learned how to cope with having put her underpants on in a hot tub.

      Farming walnuts in the walnut farm?

      They’re a bunch of WALNUT FARMING jerks who wouldn’t know their APPLES from a MUKLUK.

      Anasigma employees who have been extirpated – consigned to an eternity of harvesting walnuts (I’m not sure how the shea butter figures into all that). They don’t know they’re in a Virtual Reality environment. They only know they’ve been extirpated, and they woke up here.

      Funny thing about virtual reality… since your brain can think much faster than reality normally happens, if you’re completely immersed in a virtual environment, you could theoretically experience years when only a few weeks have passed (the same way you can have dreams that seem to last for days, but only take a few minutes while you sleep). So if someone is in this virtual environment for actual years, it really could seem like an eternity.

      Prisoners trapped in a VR world, and possibly part of a larger mainframe holding Anasigma accounting records.

        Wasn’t Nick’s whole social life, early on, a bunch of NPCs on an early Apple?
