Underlit By Torchlight

Sweezus decides he should run through his AI idea with the boss.

What is it? asks Vello.

Ageless'll be doing the shipwreck scene, says Sweezus.

I know, says Vello.

But only the falling overboard part, says Sweezus.

Has he been practising? asks Vello. 

Yeah he has, says Sweezus. And Belle's making him padded trousers.

Excellent, says Vello. Does that mean Denis will also need padded trousers?

No I don't think so, says Sweezus. Belle's making them out of the red knitted sheep shorts, and the Old Lady's buttock padding.

Ingenious of her, says Vello. So why are you here?

I was thinking I could make Ageless look more like Denis using AI, says Sweezus.

That would certainly help, says Vello. How would you do it?

Just alter his face, says Sweezus. 

Yes that should do, says Vello. You have my permission.

Cool, says Sweezus. I'll start work on it now.

He goes back to his desk and computer. 

He calls up a picture of Denis's face.

And a picture of the face of a lobster.

And begins to combine them. 

It's not even that hard.

Meanwhile Vello is looking at the weather forecast for the weekend.

Heavy rain is predicted, and possible flooding. Thunderstorms too.

And they're performing Candide in the Piglet.

This could be a disaster! groans Vello.

What could? asks David.

The weather! says Vello. We're in an open air venue.

Don't we have insurance? asks David.

Insurance! says Vello. Too expensive!

Then we need to provide umbrellas, says David. 

And what if the power goes off? asks Vello.

Torches, says David.  The show must go on.

Vello is comforted, to some extent. 

Torches. 

A cheap solution. And they can be returned, if they're not needed.

Ditto the umbrellas.

Of course Sweezus's AI face won't work without power. 

But, underlit by torchlight, doesn't everyone look liker a lobster?
