“ I know that, I guess I figured that out earlier. On my way here, I saw a couple other robotic bird guys who said they didn’t know what a Robotnik even was when I asked. ”

He looked around, wondering where those guys were.

“ Then one of them said something about ex post facto. I told him I’d pass on being mailed fun facts about his exes. He looked at me weird. ”

“Oh,” the Repairman said, noticing the chicken’s confusion, “You must have been in the other ToonTown.”

He set the ladder down and clambered up to yet another crack in the Wall. He hoped he had enough to pay Doris after all this.

“Those Legal Eagles are something else,” he commented. “Try telling them they’re vandalizing.”

He winced.

“They’ll say something about ‘pecking orders,’ and send a bunch of birds after you.”

Still, the Repairman remembered some Cogs being all right. The VP was a pretty nice introduction to that universe, after all.
