the plural of mice is mices
the plural of mice is mices is a project in the remix tree, and the nineteenth in the main branch. It is notable for revealing the name of Paula, as well as both her and Ian's last names.
Along with several other projects, its plot was included in Avocado Ian's rant in a nüeu paradigm of remicc!, [a.s.m.r. eliminated].
Summary
The player must complete a captcha that says "if there was no insanity it would be necessary to create it," and are not let through unless they have a high enough typing speed. A cutscene plays with Toast, Ian, and Paula, where they reënact a scene from the Deus Ex Malkavian Mod, with audio sentence-mixed from various Half-Life characters. Ian takes the place of JC Denton, while Paula takes the place of Paul Denton, and Toast takes the place of Lobster. After that, the player gets to walk around the room as Ian. If the player walks up to the toaster in the room, it suggests that Ian should go to Toast to make a silent takedown. Doing this plays a Fire Emblem–style combat animation in which Ian shoots Toast with a GEP gun, who cries "friendly fire, friendly fire!" turtlehat's silhouette giving a thumbs-up gesture appears on the screen, followed by distorted music and the thumbnail of the plural of remix is remices.

Trivia
- The captcha text is a quote from the Malkavian Mod, which itself is a corruption of a Voltaire quote that appears at the end of Deus Ex.
- In the Malkavian Mod, Lobster replaces the Deus Ex character Joseph Manderley, and speaks in sentence-mixed versions of Manderley's voice lines. This is why the toaster suggests using a GEP gun takedown to "eliminate Manderley," referring to Toast.
- Ian's attack animation is based on the animation in Fire Emblem for when a Warrior unit deals a critical hit with a bow.
- The silhouettes of turtlehat are desktop backgrounds he made when he got his first laptop at the start of middle school.
