tune: “Love Boat” theme, Charles Fox & Paul Williams (yeah, that Paul Williams), performed by Jack Jones, 1977
(Go ahead, sing along, you know you know it. I’ll go you one better: Before the show was ever on TV, I took a cruise on that ship, the Pacific Princess, and found “love” with a charming purser. I also won a dance contest, doing the hustle. Could anything be more ’70s?)
Bees
Swarm known as Pavane
Funky bees
Coming from Lovetron
Yes Lovetron!
Ruled by the queen Tigerlily Jones
It’s Lovetron!
Where she sits on a spring-loaded throne
That Pavane is so righteous
You know that she’s right with us
Those bees
Tell it like it is
Open eyes
To A-Sig’s big lies
Either that or he’s a really good actor.
I suspect he could get things under control, but he’s still not really willing to believe everything weird in the Narboniverse is real.
So here’s an early morning thought: what if Pavane was really Gavotte? She wanted to help but knew she didn’t have Sweethearts full trust anymore, so she pretended to be the only other being she could pull off?
We learned in “Come Swing from My Branches” that Pavane is Gavotte’s daughter, a group of bees that “budded off” from her to form a separate sentient swarm.
I think Gavotte was only stupid when she was in mating mode. I’m thinking maybe by now she’s back to normal. And wherever she is, she is completely on top of things at the remains of Skin Horse. At some point, Sweetheart will look at her and find out this was her plan all along.
OK, the planet Lovetron comment simply HAD to come from Tigerlily. But Pavane HAS to be the mysterious daughter bee swarm. And how did either break into the virtual reality stream? I’m so confused….
See, I had assumed that was just Tigerlily, but… hmm.. Interesting. That said, I think he should go easier on the stress test.

If the cruise was to Fantasy Island you’d be Queen of the Seventies.
One suspects that “Mr. Green” doesn’t have things quite as well under control as he thinks.
Either that or he’s a really good actor.

To be fair the world of skin horse is pretty ridiculous.
So here’s an early morning thought: what if Pavane was really Gavotte? She wanted to help but knew she didn’t have Sweethearts full trust anymore, so she pretended to be the only other being she could pull off?
Can’t be, Gavotte was brain-drained. She’s still around, but she’s not that smart anymore.
Was she though? Or was it all part of her master ruse plan?
We had a timeskip in there, she could have restored her swarm by now.

So? Think tank jobs in the private sector pay better…unless you’re sweeping up after those guys…
The best defense is not existing. Second to that is being so absurd that no one believes you exist.
Skin Horse seems to have been built on that very principal. They wouldn’t be able to do half the things they did otherwise.
“It’s not my fault the world is ridiculous” is my new motto.
I kind of want that quote on a T-shirt now.

Okay, sounds like Pavane was ‘real’ and not part of the ‘test’

As Sweetheart herself pointed out not that long ago, it would be more convincing if she’d stopped before Lovetron.

Clearly Pavane and Tigerlily have worked together in the past.
Or maybe Lovetron isn’t so hunka-hunka out there as we believe…
Ya jig?
