Nope, Baron is horrible with women, as seen with Dr Lee. Baron is nice to Aimee because when he’s in VR, Whimsy Mind Control Software turns him into a gallant steed, who is still a jerk really, but is a lot more polite about it.
I think he might stay friends with him because Nick has been in the space where the Baron is and feels that abandoning him as a friend would not only be a shit thing to do but also would make Baron actually worse.
At some point, Nick’s going to run into something he can’t hack
I know, I know, it’s pretty much a Hollywood convention that once you can hack one thing, you can hack anything, but this universe is ruled by rule of funny
Whatever Baron is up to, it’s shocking enough to momentarily distract Nick from his quest to learn what happened to Dr. Lee.
Good thing VR time is compressed so only minutes will have elapsed in meatspace.
It’s not distracting him – he’s looking for Baron specifically because he thinks Baron might know where Virginia is.
The question is: Do We REALLY Want To Know The People We Know?
Are they entering Mabeland?
No, fewer demons around. They may find one or two inner demons, but not the “devour your flesh” kind.
I want to make a “toys in babeland” joke, except Baron is the only one that could be classified as a toy and they’re probably leaving babeland.
I’m sure there are other toys. I have no doubt that at least the little vampire life-sucker – what was its name? Cali? – ended up getting assimilated.
Camazotz, which is either a Mayan bat god or the planet in A Wrinkle in Time.
I meant of the four of them.
Is Baron nice to them because she is a chick?
Nope, Baron is horrible with women, as seen with Dr Lee. Baron is nice to Aimee because when he’s in VR, Whimsy Mind Control Software turns him into a gallant steed, who is still a jerk really, but is a lot more polite about it.
It’s also possible that he’s got older Whimsy programming having to do with virgin princesses.
Actually, VR Whimsey World under Aimee’s rule is free of mind control. Baron’s gallant magnificence is a reflection of his own self-image.
Although I must admit I fear the worst…
Huh, I’d forgotten about that.
Well, Baron M. and Nick do seem to be best friends.
Well… as much as Baron can possibly muster. I think Nick stays Baron’s friend only because he knows that no one else would.
Nick’s been the absolute edgelord bastard with no friends.
Exactly…and having been saved by grace, Nick wants to give his old partner-in-crime the space and chance to, I dunno, become a good guy?
Might be sizing him up as a possible Best Man…
I think he might stay friends with him because Nick has been in the space where the Baron is and feels that abandoning him as a friend would not only be a shit thing to do but also would make Baron actually worse.
Some people you remain friends with because you’ve always been friends, even though if you met today you’d hate each other.
Moustachio is the only choice for best man. I don’t even want Baron reformed.
Thought of him for Father of the Bride, if Dr. Lee’s parents disapprove enough not to show.
As long as Hitty isn’t the ring bearer
Hitty could be flower girl. I mean, the petals are already flat anyway.
I was thinking Unity for flower girl. Tip for Matron of Honor.
Are you kidding? One, Nick hates Tip. Two, Virginia has slept with him.
That’s why he’s on the bride’s side of the aisle.
Just keep him away from the man-portable fusion pies!
