Sure the world is ending. Some one from are home dimension’s life is depending on us. We may never be able to get back home. And we are going on an insanely dangerous adventure that will almost definitely kill us, but can we have fun in the process? They remind me of D&D player characters.
Oh gods, this is an ironic wish fulfillment universe. Everyone got what they think they want.
Tip actually is a girl.
Sergio is respected and listened to. When he says, “hey, that’s a bad idea,” people stop.
Unity combined with the Biomass to become the greater unity, a smart amoral all-consuming killing machine.
And I’m betting sweetheart is the president or something. Somehow she’s evil and in charge, and is having the time of her life bossing people around even if everything is going to hell.
“Actually, you can call me –” Tip shut up. He’d only started being Tippi recently, and mostly in his head, and it occurred to him that this might not be the best opportunity to break out the new name. It’d be a heck of a thing to get kicked out for saying the wrong thing just before the final test.
Besides, he wasn’t sure about the name. He wasn’t sure about being a woman. He wasn’t sure about being a man, either, which was the whole problem. There was only one thing he could be sure about, which was that he looked fantastic. He clung to that sole certainty like a man, or possibly a woman, clutching a rock in a storm.
It is entirely possible that Tip’s got a better handle on gender now. Or that the sexuality issue kinda overwhelmed it for a while. Or that it’s just very well repressed by the chaos of current events.
S’mores always make the end off the world better!
I’m gonna go with “Sergio was a Venture Scout”, for 100? (I mean, not all that likely, which is why I’m only going for 100, but MAYBE…)
He could have also been an explorer scout, a Boy Scout, or a Cub Scout
Probably other local scouting organizations I’ve never heard of
What about a Weird Scout or a Blood Pact Scout?

Wow that’s very true
Speaking as a player, this is not a bad thing. Might help keep them alive (or slightly less dead in U.N.I.T.Y.’s case) out there.
Maybe they can put on a show in his father’s barn…

Good thinking.
We already know that Sweetheart got a high leadership position, but I think she was more incompetent than evil.
We know he is a crossdresser, but is Tip actually transgender?
I doubt it. He’s veeeery secure in his masculinity. He just happens to like fashion. 🙂

A lot of us are assuming that she’s the Acting President, at least after the parking meter strip.

Sergio is taking this way too well
That’s one of the things I’ll miss about civilization, when it ends; plenty o’ chocolate. That and toilet paper, but not much else.
