    Such experiences are much more fun for a person who actually desires them.

    Should’ve pushed Captain Beyond in. It might have given him a level-up. He was doing pretty well with the pot.

      I’m not sure even Tigerlily Jones could handle a powered up Captain Beyond (would he be Commodore Beyond? Admiral Beyond? Or am I upgrading the wrong name and should he be Captain Above-and-Beyond?)

        Given the fact he’s be Captain Beyond AND high as hell, I’s go for “Captain Above and Beyond”.

        10 or 12 of those darts and Captain Beyond becomes “One with the Universe Divine,” whom Tigerlily would dig right down to the bone, y’all.

    Tripping while looking at mauve paisley on blue. That’s a NASTY bit of malice.

      I like the color combination. I guess that’s my 80s coming through.

    Unless the butler has some kind of refrigeration unit hidden about his person, that Chardonnay is going to be unpleasantly warm.

      Why a very small container of liquid nitrogen would be perfect for such a need.

      .
      Refrigeration unit indeed!

        And what respectable mad scientist DOESN’T carry around some liquid nitrogen? Ya know. Just in case.

          chrisn: While I feel liquid helium would give a more even effect, you’d be left at a risk of having wine which is unpleasantly cool either way.

          Far better to keep a few bottles of white in wine coolerspace.

    Wait…how do the darts STOP after someone got hit? Wouldn’t they just keep coming?

      I don’t think they stop. They do, however, remove the doctor from the competition.

      Maybe they ran out of ammo.

      Maybe they only fire when they detect somebody who is insufficiently hip, and the hallucinogens temporarily render a person hip.

      Or, maybe it’s a spring-powered laser grid, and once somebody’s fallen down, they aren’t detected as a target.

      Motion sensor?

    Huttj: Maybe they are that well trained. Or maybe the firing mechanism is. I think you can assume that it’s a lot more complicated than a pressure sensor or a camera.

    It is a good idea to test a hypothesis before you (meaning the non-specific “you”) rely on it, though. Even if it does somehow lead to someone else going ahead of you.

    Well, if the darts don’t work, there’s still the Chardonnay. And if the darts do work, there’s still the Chardonnay…

      I heartily approve this line of thought.

    I’ve changed my mind. Betrayal stinks.

    This might be the mad science equivalent of dosing a hyperactive child with ritalin.

    meanwhile, in the background “iago” is serving up the poisoned chardonday

    I believe this is the “Nodwick” method of trap removal. And working about as well on the cryptozoologist as it did on the original vic . . . , er test subject.
