v_knidh8erThe streets of New Loompaland are completely desserted, adding an almost malevolent air to the happiest place on earth feel of the decor.
Turtle, very cleverly disguised, keeps to the main thoroughfare, while Mike alternates between taking point and securing the rear, all within the protective embrace of the shadows.
The streets and shops of New Loompaland are clearly marked with brightly colored signs that use both English and universally accepted symbols. The unlikely duo of rescuers happen across the sign for the local constabulary. Shrugging, they follow the path.
Now, around four o' clock Central Loompa Time (CLT) many non-industrial aspects of Loompaland grind to a halt. This is not the end of the work day, but a statutory thirty minute nap period that was legislated in the second age, primarily to appease the outraged populace after the Night of the Long Sticks. Naturally, the critical manufacturing houses are outside the scope of this law, but most civil service jobs allow for the mid-afternoon siesta. Consequently, the employees at the New Loompaland Police Headquarters are dozing lightly when Turtle and Mike reach the building.
