Arc

Angry at Borant all floor: Cuck Aquaman! and coupons (ch. 2), a Pollyslog description that sneers at kua-tin (ch. 5), a mob it is 'pretty proud of' (ch. 16), story time about the Krakaren (ch. 27), a hat-hoarding achievement that recommends a shrink (ch. 25), odds of fifty to one that Borant appeals (epilogue). Mordecai: when the court overturns them, 'it tends to break something in their virtual minds' (ch. 2).
