"Did you try having your heart carved out to make really sure? It's very convincing," says Itzel.

"I thought maybe your game friends would know what to do with him."

"Yeah, probably. Okay, thanks for the weirdo." She shoos the guy from the temple, and then leans into her house and grabs a naked guy off her bed. "Hey, Chen, what do you make of this?"

"I mean, it's kind of weird that he'd wind up at your house in particular but it's at least a scam based on reality, what does he want?" says Chen.

"I've been working with some people from Mars about the situation with the new world, and they're talking about making some plans for when we have more transportation between the realms here, and I think they should have more of an idea of how Limbo works before they make any decisions. I'm hoping I can find someone here who'll go talk to them."

"...and you walked into the temple of Itzamna? What the heck?" says Itzel.

"They carve people's hearts out, man," says Chen.

"You worship your grandmother," says Itzel.

"My grandmother doesn't make me carve out anybody's heart, she just wants half my train allowance and foot massages!"

"Let's not have this argument again. The point is how in the world did you pick a place to go?"

"Well, it was the first temple I came to. They didn't try to carve my heart out, and if they had I would've teleported away."

"They weren't going to tackle you about it, they have to convince people, since people're indestructible," says Chen. "It's still gross."

"Don't knock it," says Itzel. "Anyway, have you considered... the government?"

"That'd be great, where is it?"

"Tallest traincar tower. Mile north of here."

"Great, thanks." He steps back, chants a few words, and rises into the air.

Itzel and Chen watch with interest.

He doesn't hang around, though he does circle overhead once before heading north.

And where they said there's a bunch of traincar towers, dominating this section of the city, and the tallest one - actually it's a cluster of several - says TOWER OF IXRIC. Some people do seem to exit the building by jumping out of windows occasionally but the entrance is on the ground floor.

He goes in that way, still hovering a bit above the floor.

This gets stares! Purple hair demon is in here. "Hey Mister Bus!" she chirps. "How you doing?"

"Pretty good! How's it going with the train project?"

"It's going super good except there's arguments about who gets tracks and scheduling and stuff! What are you in here for?"

"Trying to find someone to go talk to Mars about how things should work once we have transit going. It might help for you to vouch that I brought you, if you're not too busy, apparently I have impersonators."

"'Course you do! Elvis has impersonators and all he did was sing at people that they were dogs and stuff! Who you want me to vouch to?"

"Still figuring that out; I wasn't even sure they had a government here." He looks around to see if there are any clues about how to solve this problem.

The signage is incredibly redundant due to being written in 73 languages so the signs mostly don't say much. "I'm waiting for the assistant vice coordinator of materiel," says purple hair demon. "You could talk to him if you want."

"That seems as good a place as any to start, sure."

"He shouldn't be that long, he's talking to the regular non-vice coordinator for a bit and then he said he'd meet me here."

"I'm not in a hurry, anyway - I guess if it goes quickly enough I might go meet my counterpart, that'd be nice. And I should explain that, since you might meet him - people repeat, apparently, between the worlds; my copy lived about two hundred years ago and now he drives a truck here. Looks just like me, but a little younger."

"Wow, so many people impersonating you, it's a whole thing, there'll be a theme restaurant. Are there more of me?"

"I have no idea. There'll probably be a spell to find out, eventually."

"Oooh! Oh hey there he is. Hey Lucas!"

Lucas, having descended a ladder from the above traincar, hops down to the floor. "Hello, Sweetheart, and -"

"This is Mister Bus."

"I assume you also have a real name," says Lucas.
