    But what if the self-driving vehicles decide that they don’t like vermin either? o_O

      Then the humans will have to walk.

      It’s fine. The self-driving car is controlled by the brain of a very, very drunk Dave Prescott Davenport.

        All the self-driving cars are controlled by drunk brains cloned from Dave Davenport. They have wisely removed the helicopter option, but they left the armaments… for self defense, of course.

          Can Nick make his helicopter into a car? ‘Cause I’m sure that would delight him no end…

            A cyborg helicopter that changes into a car? Let’s see, it was Gobots that had organic origins I believe, but that does sound like Springer from the Autobots . . .

    At least Renard can reduce the amount of the tip…
    Which sounds like Tip…
    Which brings to mind Skin Horse!
    (but since they aren’t around, he’ll just have to start a thread on Nera and Jonah’s blog)

      Well, Renard could call Skin Horse for a pick-up, although he probably doesn’t know they have a walking building.

    For a moment I thought that speech bubble was coming from the car

      Same here. I think it’s supposed to be coming from Renard.

    ….for a second there, I could swear Renard had said something about a nonhuman commune “seomewhere in Kansas”. The I accidentally hit reload.

      I, for one, would like to see this in fanart as soon as possible.

      Or put on a hat, or something.

    Going from Greenback’s Hollow to the safe zone in Kansas will take them right by Carbondale and the Greater H. T..

    What they need right now is a trenchcoat, a paper plate, and a magic marker.

    (Tune: Another One Bites the Dust, Queen)
    (but actually Another One Rides the Bus, Weird Al)

    Tried to take the bus to the safety zone,
    Though awareness the driver lacked,
    I reserved a seat, but vermin are banned,
    He drove off and won’t be back.
    Cost me almost seventy bucks,
    But I couldn’t get in the door,
    One day a robot will have his job,
    And our species it will ignore,
    Till then,

    Dun, dun, dun,
    Nonhumans can’t ride the bus.
    Dun, dun, dun,
    Nonhumans can’t ride the bus.
    ‘Cos they won’t let us on, they won’t let us on,
    Nonhumans can’t ride the bus.
    Hey, foxes and turtles too,
    Nonhumans can’t ride the bus.

    Can they go down to Boston and get in touch with the guys in St. Charlie? ‘Cause they’ve got invisible flying bicycles.

    Is the driver incapable of seeing the silver lame jacket? Because I’d react more positively to a fox wearing a silver lame jacket.

      The fleas are the same whatever the coat.

      Mind you, Renard looks less like a fox than (for example) H.T.does. A different driver, even a different reality-blind driver, may have reacted more positively to him.

        I mean, my reaction would be more “hey, what circus did you escape from?” than “Aargh! Vermin!” But then I probably like animals more than that bus driver to start with.

      I’d give a fox wearing a silver lamé jacket a ride.

    This is where a tiny ski mask or children’s costume would come in handy.

      Also, *not* a vermin sir, foxes are canine.
