The elevator ride was uneventful. More banter back and forth with the giant of a wookiee she'd shared some words with before things got moving, and a bit of enlightenment about something called 'chess'. Not quite the same as a similar sort of game from back in the giant carpetbag's home universe, but similar enough that he enjoyed it. And a somehow ominous-sounding note that it wasn't necessary to always 'let the wookiee win'. Tended to be a lot more of a negative response to a wookiee ripping someone's arms off and beating them to death with them here in the Omniverse. That was a little on the scary side to imagine, as anyone with half a brain would have probably found it, but Grrwurlo assured that it wasn't a concern.
As he departed from the elevator to head out to business on Tier 2, he left a business card with the majin, suggesting she could come by at some point to further discuss the game. Seemed like she was a quick study, despite her otherwise...eccentric outlook. She was all a bit lost about it, personally, but it would be one more thing to do when she got done with this little errand about the star pieces. She tucked the card into a pocket and resolved to remember it for later.
Another descent to the tier she had passed up entirely on her earlier trip topside and she burst out of the elevator in a quick hop, skip and jump, flipping and leaping over people and obstacles in her path. She was honestly pretty fond of Tier 3, as little as she came here. It reminded her of the places she'd visited back home, traveling through the time scrolls. The cities and locations on Earth. Just the right amount of advancement and future-y looking technology, without being so sleek and blindingly shiny and...er...grand? Extravagant? Opulent? She was sure those were words that were all accurate enough that she didn't bother to figure out which one was the most accurate or applicable. They would all work. But the upper two tiers were...a little much for her, a little too shiny for her taste.
As she scrambled and dashed along, around people and buildings, and crossing the distance to her destination here on Tier 3, these were the thoughts that occupied her mind. She was far from a dumb creature, but she was very simple. So narrow and intense had her efforts and focus been, on learning things about her interests and doing her duties to save the timestream from its corruption, she'd had very little time to do much in the way of actual education or broadening her sense of things like...something as basic as common sense. Or taking the edge off of her naivety. Still all too easy to distract her with something bright and colorful, or shiny and cool-looking.
Unless she was focused on her task, as she was now. Laser-guided on reaching the EPD facility to pick up the reports she was after. There were big, sparkly, multi-colored star-things to learn about. There were seven of them. Just like the dragon balls. It couldn't be coincidence. Seven was a lucky number, and whenever there were seven of something, just falling from out of the sky all at the same time like that, it always meant something big was about to go down! And she intended to find out what.
