    Well, there’s at least one talking animal in the neighborhood. I’m not ruling out the Narnia thing.

      No kidding. Anything that creeps Unity out can’t possibly be good.

    Somewhere inside her, “Smile, Darn Ya, Smile” is playing… I LOVE her last-panel eyes, soon to be the spirals of cartoon insanity… All she needs now is the Ren Hoek maniacal laughter!

    As expected, Sweethart handles the reins of power with calm and even hand. 🙂

    I…can document on cue!
    I can fill out paperwork, something old and new!
    I can get a grande cup of name coffee brand!
    I can summon files, just by waving my hand!
    But my tenure isn’t all one big snafu,
    ‘Cause I can just excuse you!
    [Chorus]She can just excuse you, Babe!
    She can just excuse you!

    I can hire who I need or desire!
    Hey, I can fire anyone who wilts under fire!
    I can hold up citizens no matter what they need!
    I’m a thorough bureaucrat, full in word and deed!
    Most important are the petty things I do,
    ‘Cause I can excuse you!
    [Chorus] She can just excuse you, Babe!
    She can just excuse you!

    Uh…yah!
    Ooo-Ooo! Ooo-Ooo!
    Chica boom, chica boom!
    Chica boom, boom, boom!

    I’m the dog in charge of you, you better believe I am!
    I’m in charge of Skin Horse, I really give a damn!
    I have waited patiently to get my due!
    The thing I wanted most in life, I really get to do!
    Successful am I, with these powers I maintain.
    And we can prosper on this alternate campaign.
    Cause I…I can excuse you!
    It’s blowing my mind ‘cause I can excuse you!
    It’s back away from Babe time, ‘cause I can excuse you!
    Girl it’s power I crave, ‘cause I can excuse you!

    Wait…could it be the acting president of New York is this universe’s version of Sweetheart? Ruling with an iron fist (paw) and executions for parking meter violations? Sounds like a Sweetheart running wild to me.

      I’m betting it’s Mel, actually.

    Power corrupts, but usually not quite so quickly.

      In my experience, power corrupts *exactly* this quickly.

    I’m flashing to the moment in Waters of Mars when the Doctor declares that he no longer has to obey the rules of time….

      I’m flashing to “MY FLANNEL!! SOURCE OF ALL MY POWER!!!”.

    Ooookay . . . somebody cue the Carmen aria and call the exorcist. Sweetheart has tasted power and found it good.

    (Can a mad boy also be an exorcist? Just wondering.)

    Sweetheart, what is the law?
    “No spill ink. That is the law! Are we not Skin Horse?”
    “Not to mix business expenses with personal expenses. That is the law! Are we not Skin Horse?”

    200 Quatloos to anyone who gets the inside joke I’m going for here. >^_^<

    This will last until she realises that while she can grant them permission to be here, she can’t fill out the paperwork until they make it back home.
