New Pork City

[pullsneedles]

With a great KSSSSSSSSH! the limo lands at the entrance of Master Porky's neon haven, New Pork City. The streets are lined with lively distractions and familiar faces, the people of Tazmily bustling about at the cinema or the arcade.

Boney nudges his owner's hand with his nose, giving him a comforting lick. Kumatora puts a hand near her eyes, scanning the area. Duster fiddles with a wall staple, itching to move but wanting to stay still.

Lucas soaks it all in, frowning faintly.

Where to?

"Well, we're not going to find out down here," Autor says, craning his neck.

"I have a flying carpet, but it'll only carry two of us," he murmurs. "There should be some--ah, good. Stairs, up ahead and to the left."

Sure enough, he hears Boney barking from that direction, too.

"Want to head on up?"

Lucas, Duster, and Kumatora hurry to Boney, having recovered from their surprise and eager to head up the stairs.

"(The stink bug got away from me,)" Boney explains to all who can understand him. "(But never mind that. Look who I found!)"

At the top of the stairs, the group is finally face to face with the incredibly tall man. He turns to them, long face and gray hair under an old brown hat and behind a pair of spectacles.

"Leder?" Duster asks.

"Ol' Beanpole?" Kumatora adds before heading over. "Why would they lock you up? Got somethin' against bell ringers?"

Dinah left Enzo and Autor to the carpet, and raced up behind the others. She hangs back behind the group, biting her lip in concern as they greet him.

"You know each other?"

"He's the town bell ringer in Tazmily," Duster says.

Leder presses his lips into a line for a moment.

"Are you all right?" Lucas asks him, healing him with his PSI in case he needs it.
