On a lighter note than that last broadcast... [Not that Claudia doesn't appreciate Armin's announcement for what it is, and anyone missing their friends is free to do so as they see fit. But she's not about to pretend this isn't a more upbeat thing.]

Anyone up for lightcycles this time out? I think I've recharged from the party prep stuff, but I'm gonna have to get on things fast if I'm gonna finish them before we get shipped off again. First three people to say they're in get one.

[...that implies that she will give him one. Hm.] ...Can I have a lesson?

[that would be a no to her question.]

I can teach you how to drive. I'm great at driving.

[She has two dots in it!]

Really? [yeeees please teach him he wants a lightcycle so bad]

Yeah! I mean, I can't teach you how to ride a motorcycle, but if we can get our hands on a car I can totally can teach you how to drive a car! I mean, someone's going to have to anyway, depending how long we're traveling, and it's not like your dads are gonna be able to. They're way too Renaissance.

[THIS IS THE BEST DAY EVER thorne this almost makes up for you forcing him to have sex ed, too.]

That would be awesome. [yeeeees he gets to learn how to drive.] ...We're probably gonna have to wait for a Jaunt, I don't think I can make a car with Liminal stuff.

[You're lucky she hasn't realized that she probably needs to figure out ways to get you and the other smols the rest of your education too.]

Yeah, probably. I dunno if I can either, sadly. But hey, maybe we can see if the Trumps will answer requests again?

DEAR TRUMPS, PLEASE GIVE US CARS NEXT LIMINAL. LOVE, THE TRAVELERS

[noooo no need for that, thorne. it's fine. school is not needed.]

I don't know if that'll work, but it's worth a shot! [it would be pretty great if it did. he wants to learn how to drive. he's tall enough!]

Well, I mean, I'm thinking at some point me and Helena need to do another Trump contact experiment anyway. She can ask for one thing and I can ask for another and we'll see which one we get or if we get both. So I'd totally ask for cars at that point.

How did she do that? [he's pretty sure just shouting at the trumps wouldn't work.]

Symbolism. I just wrote in huge-ass letters somewhere I'd hope they'd see.

Did yours work?

I dunno. We both asked for the same thing: a ballroom. And then we got the basketballroom because the Trumps evidently have a sense of humor. Or one of them does, anyway.

Oooh. So, next time you'd ask for different things and see what happens? [he'd thought she meant she was just going to see who was more popular with the trumps which would have been weird.]

Yeah! Exactly. It's all very scientific!

It so happens I didn't fry my first attempt when I was trying to figure out how to power the things. So you might talk me into a lesson.

[that... seems promising! probably!

though he doesn't really know how to reply to that since it wasn't actually a yes or no. Maybe he should go a different route.]

Um... my name's Phillip. [that's probably important.]

[Oh come on, that was totally a yes.]

Claudia. Good to meetcha. So you gonna come asking about this once we know there's a good space for it? I don't know if dodging party remnants is the best idea.

Oh. [that's a good point.] Yes! Thank you!
