Maybe it’s because Moustachio comes from a time when well-to-do parents dressed young children in frocks, regardless of sex.* Tip is male and he wears frocks; therefore he must be a small boy; therefore the correct form of address is “Master.”
*yeah, I stopped in the middle of typing a comment to fact-check this. It seems to have lasted into the 1880s at least.
Hey Sweetheart, Sweetheart, come and run!
We’re gathering the team at Annex One!
When Tigerlily asks if we’re lighting up the spot,
I tell her that an iPhone 4 is all I’ve got!
No signal on the roof?
I swear to taco, you’re such a goof!
No signal on the roo-oo-oo-oo-oof!
Hey, Tip!
I’m bringing pumpkin lattes in …
Hey, M!
I’ve got a brand new pop-corn tin!
My, my, my …
What a heartwarming cup of holiday cheer. Even at one half mojo power, Tigerlilly still has enough funk to kickstart Skinhorse – with or without government funding.
I think I’m with you on that. I like pumpkin spices in pumpkin pie and on sweet potatoes, but I got some “pumpkin spice” chai recently, and it was awful. It sounded like a good idea at the time…
I think the problem is that they only sell it seasonally. If it was available all year, people would still like it, but nobody would make such a huge fuss about it like they do now. Like chocolate. Everybody loves chocolate, but it’s just treated as what it is, a tasty food that everyone loves, and not the goddamned food messiah returned from the grave once more.
“We had a spotlight signal, but the budget was cut for it once we had to leave the building. It was part of a WayneTech contract; they seem to supply a lot of those for the various black ops agencies.”
Later than that. I’ve just seen a film clip showing the Tsesarevich Alexei Nikolaevich and his sisters, all wearing sailor dresses. He was born in 1904.
I wouldn’t have pegged Tigerlily Jones for a Batman fan, considering that he’s a white billionaire CEO who spends his free time beating up flamboyant criminal lunatics. Maybe she wishes she could get a chance to test herself against him.
Does that mean that Tip reattached Moustachio’s arms?
I don’t think he’s that crazy. Besides, Tigerlily is slapping his “hull”.
Holy gee willikers, Sweetheart, it’s the Skin Horse signal!
To the Horse Cave!

Is that what UNITY would say?
UNITY would eat the horse.
Happy Thanksgiving to all!
The team is almost back together!
=>D
Happy Thanksgiving to the other American Skin-Horse peeps!
aw- how come Tip isnt Dr. Wilkin? hes a dr. too, right?
come to think of it… is tigerlily a real doctor? and in what?
Doctor of Funk.
🙂
“Are you a doctor doctor or a Ph.D doctor?”
Its because Tigerlilly is Moustachios doctor
I’m pretty sure M considers “Master” to be a higher honorific than “Dr.”

Pumpkin n flavored rampage!
I look forward to the Skin Horse post-Thanksgiving reunion.

I was gonna guess “London Calling” as a starter.
I thought maybe “Spirit in the Sky.”
And the officially-disbanded team gathers with their former enemy, to choose a new mission.
I don’t think “enemy” is the correct term; maybe “client” is closer to the truth. Person of interest?
Consultant? Contractor?

Synergy – They are more powerful together than the sum of their individual abilities.
Much like a litter of kittens (or puppies, or group of small children) cause WAY more chaos together than they would alone.
Personally I think that’s why Helen (Beta) and Dave got along so well – stability and reinforcement at the same time.
Don’t forget to say “pumpkin spice” three times into a mirror before starting the meeting. That should bring at least one more outside observer.
Pumpkin spice is evil. And not the good kind either. – LAME kind. A fad that is past its time but gaining momentum anyway.
“No sky-signal, but yes pumpkin spice lattes. And they’re supposed to help me with my Mojo?”

Does that make Scary Spice appear?
Allegedly a white girl in yoga pants appears and tells you all her favorite things about Fall.
“Let me call up Sweetheart, she’s the one for you…”

Shaenon, I just found out you and Andrew are cat-sitting my friend’s cat!
