Man, the Trumps sure know how to throw a welcome-back party. Too bad there's probably no deaf, dumb and blind kids around, I hear they play a mean pinball.

So. That was an unpleasant little side quest, don't recommend it, don't wanna talk about it. How far along are we from the Grid? What'd I miss?

Also, FYI, as soon as I can work out how I'm willing to make lightcycles for anyone who missed out. Still a work in progress, though, so don't all come running at once.

No, we have those on my planet. Float bikes are a bit more popular for those who can afford it, but they've never really been my style.

And I wasn't in the Grid, no. My first Jaunt was Purgatory.

[Planet, huh? Iiiiiinteresting. Might also explain why he hasn't encountered pinball before.]

I'm willing to bet the lightcycles were a popular grab, but it turns out they're hard as hell to make when you're not inside a computer. I think I can get there sooner or later, though. [She's built stranger things in less time! It's just a question of getting them to work properly.]

If you got here for Purgatory... Kanji said that was the one after the Grid, so I guess we just missed each other. I managed to spend a couple jaunts' worth stuck in shiny gold nonsense.

[THANKS FOR THAT, TRUMPS.]

Shiny gold... oh right, that walkabout thing I've heard of. My condolences.

[claudiometer]

Closer to a dungeon than a walkabout, I think.

Double my condolences. [His tone is flippant, but he does sympathize.]

[claudiometer]

Not gonna say I don't appreciate it.

I'm Claudia, by the way. Good to meetcha.
