    Leather plants? Or leather pants?

      We are in the realm of mad science here. It is entirely possible that some deranged biologist cotourier would create a plant to provide an unending supply of leather for his/ her designs. And that it would go sufficiently wrong enough to be able to engulf beings of the Baron’s size

    Wait. Is Nick implying he could cybernetically swap consciousness with an AI? Trade bodies with Mistycorn!?

      Nah, I just think he’s letting Baron Mistycorn do the makeover instead of Tip

        I agree the Baron would do a better job in Nick’s case! 🙂

      Baron’s mind moves to Nick’s body. Nick takes chopper, Lee takes Annex One. Hmm… looking at the board, I’d say, Mate in three moves.

        And then the pelvic thrust will really drive you insa-a-a-a-a-a-a-ane …

    Maybe the Baron is a vegetarian? A rather kinky vegetarian.

    NOW we slip into Shakespearean sex games. Nick trades consciousness with various AI persons…..and each woos Virgina, with varying degrees of success. Kinky.

      It’s only kink if Virginia knows it’s happening and agrees to it. Otherwise it’s rape.

      Fortunately, kinksters are just sex nerds, so I figure there’s a 50/50 chance she’d be all up ons if Nick made a good case.

      (Bonus points if anyone gets the pun in the last sentence.)

      I’ll admit it’s been a while since I read any Shakespeare, but I’m sure I’d remember if there were any robots or mind‐uploading in his work

        You’ve not read Twelfth Night recently, have you?

        Midsummer Nights dream transformations? No?

    Dammit, Nick. Even if you aren’t really good at processing the lust thing *try* to remember that people cared enough about you to save your life, OK? They value you, even if you won’t.

      Ah the thing about accepting the value others have for you is if you do not value yourself that really isn’t possible.

        Nick’s problem is not simply that he doesn’t value himself, which is passive. He seems to almost consciously, and therefore actively, hate himself.

        If Tip were any kind of psychologist – and if Nick didn’t hate him as well – he might be able to help Nick out.

          The sad thing is? This is honestly the most relatable Nick’s ever been.

    Next move for both of them…the VR singles bar.

      Nick: “*Gasp*”
      Lovelace: “There! I’ve sideloaded everything I know to you. Now, go get her, Tiger!”
      Nick: (phases back to Ring Zero)
      Lovelace: *sigh* “If you truly love something, set it free…”

    Wait… I just realized. This is ACTUALLY the A-plot for this arc? Bronycorn driving Nick’s meat helicopter around macking on random chicks and getting into shenanigains until Virginia either gets the wrong idea and overreacts or else instantly sees right through it because Nick’s not acting like Nick he’s acting like Bronycorn, which means one of three things and she’s already ruled out two of them, whichever is funnier?

      How much would I have to pay to never see the words “meat helicopter” again?

      Approximately $too much.

    *waves at Nick*
    Walk into this, lad; save me the effort.

    Look, first — and by no means easiest — step is just talk to her! Yeah, you might make a fool of yourself but, (a)so what? It should be familiar territory, and (b) you’ll likely be amazed at what she’ll be willing to overlook just because she wants you to talk to her. About anything!

    Besides, Dr. Lee is at least as much a nerd as you are; y’all will have plenty to talk about. ;-p

      That was actually working well until Nick brought up the X-Ray setting on Camera 3…

        Yeah, but if they had just kept rolling with it, they might have actually gotten somewhere.

    I’m pretty sure that Baron would find it easier to get human women in Nick’s body than his current one …but that’s a pretty low bar to pass.
