Speaking as someone who’s had that sort of ridiculous depression, putting up walls of seeming happiness (or, in Baron’s case, glitz, glam, and snark) while inside I chained myself down, Baron’s desire not to be dragged kicking and screaming back into the real world is decidedly familiar.
Take these chains from my neck and set me free.
It’s been tough in this VR tapestry.
All my other selves have split, and it’s chafing just a bit.
Take these chains from my neck and set me free.
Take this fence from my pen before you flee.
In this mission, I’ve been an absentee.
If you wanna let me loose, so I can be of some use,
Take these chains from my neck and set me free.
Put my hooves in a pedi-bath, my plea.
Show this chained unicorn some sympathy.
Put that programmed cleaver down, just don’t leave me gagged and bound,
Take these chains from my neck and set me free.

I’m very suspicious. We’ve seen Baron delete the Crown out of Lovelace’s very hands! Even assuming something special imprisoning him in his own sandbox, why is he literally dragging his feet?
How eager would you be to confront your enemy if he was also your id?
I’m still of the opinion that Baron is having fun milking the attention of a cute female but the possibility that his enemies include him and his inner demons is one I won’t rule out. I wouldn’t rule out that some of his inner demons are stronger than him either. @_@
Baron may as well push his luck because it won’t move along on it’s own! ^_^
Pushing your luck is a terrible way to get exercise. Also jumping to conclusions.
Can she materialize a gag for the Baron’s mouth?
Maybe she can Matrix his mouth closed.
“What use is a VOIP call if you can’t… speak?”
That is sounding more and more like a good idea.
Don’t tempt her to emulate “The Godfather.”
There’s a pun in there somewhere about her creating a new file, but I can’t quite get to it.
Baron is such a wuss.
Why is Baron determined to stall?
Because it’s the best excuse ever to whine, and Baron whines like a champion.
Well, nobody in here is trying to kill him (yet.)

I see you. Stall….horse…unicorn…wait, what?
Can you make virtual glue out of virtual hooves?

That last panel is golden. Reminds me of Stitch throwing a tantrum after getting a lei hung around his neck.
The way I remember it, getting the lei hung around his neck was what calmed Stitch down.
Give this fella an Internet!

It’s not an exterior program, but internal demons that are keeping him in his garden.

I’d like to comment on how much I adore the angle in the last panel showing Baron head (and mouth) from below!
