    My immediate concerns are which bells Hitty was supposed to be hitting.

      or for whom the bell tones

        “…send not to know
        For whom the bell tolls,
        It tolls for thee.”

          Especially if you’re in Hitty’s line of sight.

        I feel that way with gaming references.

      Hitty is a lady still, but I don’t think there’s ever been a dance, as we think of it, in that old dame.

    Then we’ll outfox them.

    A-Sig doesn’t need help to outwit themselves.

    Ask not for whom thy hit the bells,
    Thou hit them for thee.

      yo do it to yourself

      (Ok I got late for the one you did, still did it, got no literary cred left, so now I’m doing as it was a music stint)

    I suspect Mustachio is being arch here (it’s _striking_?), but Sweetheart isn’t very good at recognizing dry humor.

      Y’know, Moustachio didn’t give her his right name when they first met.

    The start of her second hundred years?

    In war, victory goes not to the most brilliant, but to the least incompetent who makes slightly fewer mistakes. Given A-Sig’s brain trust let’s not rule outwitting out just yet.

      The real trick is to make fewer critical mistakes at crucial moments.

      Or as Keanu Reeves said it, “better lucky than good.”

      Or the overwhelmingly powerful.

      No matter _who_ was leading it’s army, Belgium in 1940 wasn’t going to stop Germany from going through.

      Fortunately,A-Sig doesn’t seem that overwhelmingly overpowered compared to the construct crowd: OTOH, after that performance with the atomic device, [1] I’m not sure about HT-Biomass.

      [1] BTW, found the scene from “Mars Attacks” that it reminded me of:

    Now I understand why, to non-human sapients, the Skin Horse robot is SANCTUARY!!

    Sweetheart could use some variation on Garfield’s motto: “If you can’t convince ’em, confuse ’em.”

      “If the facts are against you, argue the law. If the law’s against you, argue the facts. If they’re both against you, pound on the table and yell like hell.”

    Poor Hitty, she’s somewhat confused. Her name is Mehitabel—news. But the others thought “punny,” and the name came out funny. They’re lucky, she could blow a fuse.

      As long as she doesn’t burn the pie.

        Yes, no one wants Hitty to burn the pie.
