    I’m eager to see Tigerlilly’s reaction to Pavane!

      “Ouch, that stings!”

      “Honey chil’, do you dig my spring-driven bees?

      “What do you mean you’re from Lovetron? Sweetie, if you think you’re from a planet in my delusions, you’re crazier than I am!”

        I’m hoping Pavane takes one look at Tigerlilly, exclaims “Your Majesty! You have returned!” and curtsies.

          And now I’m dying to know, how does a swarm of bees curtsey?

            LOL! Perhaps the swarm could assume a humanoid shape, tracing the requisite motions?

            I’m sure Jeff would delight in encouraging Shaenon to figure it out! 😉

    They could use the Clone-O-Mat they used to clone Nick, but it’d probably come out looking like him. Then again Aimee does look like him, so maybe it’d work.

      As long as the clone just uses a female Nick source for the genetics, since adding Mell’s would be hazardous to all.

    And thus, Tigerlily’s hypocritical tyrannical dogma rears it’s ugly head yet again.

      Ugly head? Oh, that’s just Baron Mistycorn.

      Oh, wait… you meant that figuratively, didn’t you.

      I don’t think anyone ever claimed Tigerlily Jones was nice. She is a mad scientist, after all. She can be nice, and even helpful, when she feels like it, but you can’t really count on anything when you’re dealing with a Mad.

      No-one who would do that to a piranha could claim to be nice. But Baron is a robot. While this resembles a way to torture humans, all the locals are doing here is preventing him from wandering around until Tigerlily is ready to see him.

    So the server is in Tigerlilly’s hands.

    Does setting a kingdom on your mantle count as conquering it?

    Is that a robot holding a Rod of Attitude Adjustment?

      Looks more like a lightsaber.

        I was hoping someone would say that! 😉

    Why did Aimee choose Baron Mistycorn to be her sole meatspace bodyguard and emissary again? He’s unreliable, easily distracted, and has the social skills and physical prowess of a 12 year old gamer with no other hobbies.

      he may be horrible and have no verbal filter, but he’s loyal…. aaand one of the few left with a physical body.

      Does Aimee even know what Baron is like outside the box? She only ever sees his VR persona. She has figured out that he has no concept of security, but other than that, what does she really know about him?

      The enchanted kingdom has a strong hiring program for the disabled, and the Baron has a serious disability: he can’t keep his mouth shut.

        There’s a subtle distinction between a disability and an inability.

      So I’ve forgotten: is Mistycorn animatronic, biological, cyborg, or what? (Any reference to the appropriate historical documents would be appreciated.)

        He is officially a “robotic unicorn”.

    Everyone is missing the most important point:

    What DID he say about flared pants?

      Maybe the censors cut it, for good reason?

      …we can assume it wasn’t complementary.

      It was probably similar to – but more crude – what anyone born after 1980 says about flared pants.
