Or that one specific desk across the way.

Was he right? He was so right. Neptune Bott's desk was OVER THE TOP. Always. In everything.
Pause...
"Raidho for reconnecting when... when you lose your way, when you're trying to figure things out."
Err. hand up.
"To go into the desk to reconnect with the runes and all if you forget what you're doing and mess things up."

Jake was confused. He looked at his desk... REALLY looked at it... lay his head against it and closed one eye to look down it... even got off his chair to lay down on the floor and look underneath it. Once he'd inspected the legs and even the CHAIR, he got back up and sat down again, looking over at Jimmy (who he didn't know) and Neptune (who he DEFINITELY knew) and chipped in, face totally deadpan, voice serious.
"I think you two have defective desks."
