There's at least one Trump around this jaunt. The legless proxy - if you've seen it, you probably know the one. If there are any others lurking around, I haven't run into them.

Take that as you will, everyone.

I've heard in general that they run this joint, but what is it they do? The one I saw was, heh, just hanging around.

[leftbehindagain]

I don't think he'd be doing much else. [Naoki can't help a little amusement, and he'll explain if this guy asks. But still. Of course he was hanging around. It's his thing.]

They don't always show up, and when they do I think it's typically one or two at a time. The Grid was... weird. In any case, they pick the worlds we get tossed into, and when they turn up, they look for people in the group that they like.

[Braig's just as amused already.]

And then what? 'Cause if everything's gonna explode, I'd like to know in advance. This many dirigibles would be a hell of a light show.

[leftbehindagain]

I'm pretty sure he's not going to make anything explode. That would require action.

[seventhbullet]

Maybe, maybe not. [Small accidents happen all the time. If no one does anything, they turn into big disasters. Leaving a valve open, maybe, and then when someone lights a match...] But what about his buddies, if he brought 'em? What kind of thing do they do, when they're about?

[leftbehindagain]

That would depend on which one was around, but fortunately this doesn't seem like the kind of place Devil would like much. In general, the same thing, though.

[seventhbullet]

What, nothing? Just pick teams and kick back?

[leftbehindagain]

So far. If they could directly affect these places themselves, I think they would - the rest is up to us.

[seventhbullet]

Man, if they're gonna hang around, you think they could pass on explicit instructions. I get the one I saw was a bit tied up at the moment, but its mouth still worked fine.

[Do you see what he did there.]

[leftbehindagain]

[Yes. Yes, he does.]

Explicit instructions aren't really their thing. Otherwise this would be a lot easier.

[seventhbullet]

Cryptic ones, great. Just what I look for in a boss. [More true than it's not, considering.]
