Given the VR brings out one’s inner self-image (Baron Mistycorn being a noble stallion for example) seeing Tip revealed in all his glory is going to be so great!
That should be a meme:
WEAR _ALL_ THE PRINCESS THINGS!
Then you can draw The Hulk, Thanos, Batman, Darth Vader, and others trying to out-princess each other.
Honestly, I think for all eloquence is *handy*, there’s something to be said for bluntly addressing the core of an issue. Nick, for all his attempts to evade it, is… people person might be the wrong word here. Charismatic, I think, in his own way. ❤️
He’s perceptive and direct. And now he’s judicious about when to open his mouth. These qualities don’t take long at all to outdistance eloquence and charisma as people skills (as evidenced by Ginny’s preferences!)
But how does Tip and / or Nera get into the VR Whimsey World? They’re not connected to WiFi like Nick is. No plugs…well, none that fit into a USB port. (Lovelace had that problem with Dave as I recall.)
There were those drone-controlling helmets, but I figured Ira had them stripped out of Nick along with the comfy seats. Maybe Smart Unity can make some more.
The AIs, they need to persuade. Tip Wilkin’s not sure of this trade. But some Princess pretty gets to their committee, while adding a chance to get laid.
How does one wear _all_ the princess things? Can Tip be manifested in the VR environment with several hundred bodies? Could the VR environment possibly survive several hundred Tips?
Oh, dear. Or is that “Oh Dear!”
I hope Dr. Wilkin didn’t get whiplash in panel 4…
I can’t wait to see Aimee’s reaction when she pops in to welcome Tip to his “forever home”!
“You’re not one of us. And besides, there’s only one Princess here! Out you go!” -blip-

Wait, that didn’t come out right…
Hope he keeps his panties on.
I hope he keeps more than just his panties on.
You can pretty much hear the whip of his head turn.
Oh ye gods, Shaenon, what are you thinking?! [mad scientist laughter] I CAN’T WAIT FOR THIS!!!
I knew there was a reason Tip is my second favorite. (Nick is first.) That would absolutely also be my reaction.

You should look up the John Scalzi and Jim Hines impossible women pose photo gallery.
I found Hines’s poses. Absolutely genius! I must try this.

Gordian I guess? Or maybe Alexandrian?
Gordian to make the puzzle, Alexandrian to solve it.

They can make new ones. All they need is a colander and some wires
Nick is good at pushing buttons.
I was looking for the princess Godzilla cake for an illustration, and found this instead:

It looks like pretty much ‘the gang’s all here’… except for Tigerlilly and Artie. Waiting for their entrances!?
and this is the day Tip quit his meatbody to join an upload civilisation.
What if Tip’s True Inner Essence looks like a boxer with cauliflower ears?
LOL! I’m half expecting that – or maybe top hat, white tie and tails 😉
Chances his avatar ends up being the pretty werewolf?
That’d be an interesting twist: Tip secretly suffers from low self-esteem, and all his mojo is just an act. Kind of like Austin Powers?
Or worse.

Baron Mistycorn’s Vegas sim is about to get a whole new set of clones to populate it, all of them fabulous in their own special ways.
You know Nick has managed to surprise himself when he reacts by bringing up a standard wrongswear instead of a creative one.
