    Yay! There’s hope for Baron yet!

    (I’m ashamed of myself for losing faith in him)

      I’m ashamed of you for having faith in him.

    Blue eyes, huh? Oh, man. I can’t wait for Nick to start doing this in meatspace.

    Is this gonna be that, they’ll all Baron like aspects of him or something? Cause that was my guess at the beginning of all this. On the other hand, this was probably a plot to keep them occupied.

      Hah! I thought he would escape via swap-in-place, but I like the idea that this is a shell-game, looking for Baron in side of Baron(s).

        Always remember, the dealer doesn’t win the shell game by convincing you the ball is under the wrong shell. He wins by convincing you the ball is still in play at all.

          Most perceptive, jdreyfuss.

          I wonder if Lovelace will turn out to be the true villain here?

    I’m still seeing the actual Baron in a back room somewhere, playing video games and eating virtual junk food.

    This is where Nick says, “Dammit Baron! Show yourself or so help me I will delete this entire city!”

      Q-Will the real Baron Mistycorn please stand up?
      A-I am standing!
      Q-Well…then wave!

        I’m Mistycorn / the others are just imitating / will the real Mistycorn please stand up / please stand up / please stand up.

      THAT would be awesome!

      And Nick could do it without collateral damage because it’s a sandbox.

    Okay, they’ve gone to the top and found only more illusions. Is the Baron actually in a basement somewhere stewing in his own resentment?

      I bet he’s the lounge singer that was shrouded in shadow when they first walked into the high rollers room.

    “It’s a hap-hap-happy day
    Toodle-oodle-oodle-oodle-oodle-ay
    For you and me, but mostly me
    All the clouds have rolled away

    It’s a hap-hap-happy day
    Toodle-oodle-oodle-oodle-oodle-ay
    The sun shines bright and the world’s aright
    Volumes Nine and Ten came today.”

    Yeah this guy didn’t have NEARLY enough papered-over self-loathing to be the real Baron.

      And also, from the moment Nick picked him up, he hasn’t had the right body language to be Baron.

    In the main VR-world, Baron’s an idealised, “realistic” unicorn, not the talking plushie that he is in meatspace.

    When they find the “real” him in the sandbox, I’m not sure what he’ll look like – VR Baron, plushie Baron, or something else entirely.

    For all my misgivings about Lovelace (she is, after all, an interloper in Aimee’s World), I confess to being intrigued that she is feeling “weirded out” by Aimee and Nick, considering her history…
