	Turns out, the passes were expensive, but in a way Jesse didn’t quite predict. ‘Pons’ were the local currency in order to buy a train pass. “I was gonna go purple but…guess I gotta find some [i]pons[/i] first? As in actually literally just find some? On the ground?” Jesse asked.

	Jesse was used to scrounging up money, but she wasn’t used to scrounging [i]for[/i] money.

	[i]If some random people just left money lying around ontop of bookshelves life would have been a lot easier for everyone back on Earth. What kind of economy is this, anyway? Is this some kind of bizarro world social program? Or-[/i]

	“Oh, my God, it’s Banjo-Kazooie.” Jesse said, lightly facepalming herself. This really was a world that operated on video game rules. She really wanted to play the video game that was based off of her own life, but also she kinda didn’t. In the meantime, she would play a game where she ran around collecting shiny coins. 

“Okay. Sure, I can do that.” With a little added pep-in-her-step Jesse joined the troop of people willing to actually do a little searching. It sounded kind of fun. There was a great amount of verticality to the metro in certain places, with stands and buildings having gaps between them and the ceiling or bridges overhead. But instead of having to search for stairs and ladders, Jesse just pressed off the ground and glided twenty feet in the air, landing on top of a building. Like sports balls lost on top of a middle school, a pon or two was waiting for a new owner to claim them. Chuckling, Jesse pulled the gem into her hand with her Launch ability. This wouldn’t be so hard. She was part way there already.

Jesse began floating and jumping from place to place. When she needed to get particularly high, she would jump to a higher spot somewhere between her and her destination and would go from there to the highest spot, say, a distant bridge or particularly large light fixture. She couldn’t just fly straight up but as long as she had even a small place to launch herself off of she could bounce and glide as high as she needed too. At one point she vanished from view of the ground floor completely. Once she had all of her pons gathered in her jacket, she dropped from the top of the Metro in free fall. About ten feet before impact her free fall transferred into a gentle float. Landing on her shoes, she cockily adjusted her jacket before making her way to where she guessed the Purple Line was. There she met Therion.

“Done already?” She asked Therion. “The team thing works for me. Ticket booth is over there?” She pointed over at it after he showed her the way. Once she was there she went to go buy the ticket. She wasn’t sure if it was an automated system or a teller or what. This was a crowded place but if she ever needed to find something, she could always just float ten feet in the air and get a good look around.
