Codes? [Seriously, does this guy just enjoy confusing her or what? Whatever, Norma can get the gist of what he's referring to pretty easily. Though she's got to figure out that termonology one of these days, for real.] I dunno if it's codes or whatever they mess with, but not all of them are fun - you'd think so, but it's seriously not when you're the one it happens to. I've heard stories of people having to do anything someone tells them to do! That could get pre-tty dangerous if you're not careful, y'know.

[Ha....hahaha, oooh poor fool. Norma just mirrors his little smirk with one of her own, though it's laced with all kinds of disbelief and experienced knowledge that no matter what - no matter what - no one's getting out until the Malnosso make it so. Ah, but that does bring up a good point!] Well, that's all right, then...but once you get here, the Malno-nos also cut your power to about half. Doesn't feel like it, does it? Some get it worse than others, unless they train up their skills again here. My ere--uh, my magic was crummy when I first got here. Couldn't even make a decent fire wall...puh. But you sure as heck are welcome to try breaking out. Just...lemme know if you make a scratch in the barrier okay, Big Guy?

[Tapping one of his ginormous arms, yep. SHE WISHES YOU THE BEST, RALPH.]
