And what is the sad memory Toymaker was having?
And does Lisa has an integrated phone guide, or at least a wireless internet connection to know Liz Trance’s address?
Oh my! Another of my favorite characters! Bambi Bambino a taxi driver? My, an ex mafia princess now doing… a honest job? Didn’t his pal Bug Eyez get her a part of ROPE action? And what about the “FF2011” plate?
Well, at least I have a cameo of Bambi… (by the way, those dices are exactly the kind of thing I was thinking Bambi would have in his car!
Hey, did you notice that the music in page 70 was not green, but blue… does that makes any sense?
Well, I must say that Lisa not only has Liz Trance under his control, but is also cheating Bambino of his pay? That is a crime!
Hi Hector2! I'll try to answer your questions as best I can:
- LISA is trying to teach MONA how to best serve her master. Instead of programming the data into MONA's brain, LISA decided to show her how to do it and have her learn from experience.
- I don't want to give too much away about Gilbert's dream. That will pay off later on in the story. Suffice it to say, there's a reason why he is so lonely.
- Yes, I figure in this day and age a sentient robot would have some sort of built-in wireless internet access, at least enough for an onboard GPS and phone book.
- I figure Bambi took an 'honest' job to try to stay clean while on probation from her latest crime. Finister was kind enough to let me use her in a cameo, so I ran with it. I wouldn't expect much more of an appearance from her aside from her role as LISA's impromptu chauffeur.
- The music was not green for a reason. In my mind the color green represents Thrallium, or more generally speaking it represents mind control. Not every video and song Liz uses will have subliminal MC embedded in it, just the one specific clip Marvin gave to her in "The Girl Next Door".
- LISA isn't fully up to speed on the concept of 'right' and 'wrong' just yet. She only knows 'obey' and 'disobey', or 'serve' and 'not serve'. So she may do things that are a little on the naughty side in order to carry out what she thinks is her top priority: serving and pleasing her master.
Thanks for the questions!
