Zach takes the old gear and hands Batter... Some credits in fact, he's hanging onto this world's crazy money. And hmm, he doesn't recall? How odd, and... Why is he talking about Zone 3 like it was happening, despite recalling the events of The Room? Hmm, how odd, and yet for some reason the man doesn't think it's just a continuity error. He'd shake his head and return from his musing, yes guiding Batter...
"Indeed, seems as though we're quite off the game's beaten path now Batter, almost like some kinda fanwork or something? But, I guess that's best left to me, or... Hmm, seems like the ole Player is. Around in a sense, but yet not quite the same, rules that I'd once call ironclad seem like suggestions at most, very strange."
The man shrugs, he's not going to worry over it too much just yet, how's solving the plot left to the item salesmen anyway? Hah, as if that could happen.
