Bah. Dad clearly carried a spare wallet.

Where else would he keep his spare spare car?

I believe that he DOESN'T take trophies anymore?

Except for Cal. He can never stay mad at Cal.

Noir might've promised never to take trophies anymore.
BUT CAL NEVER MADE SUCH A PROMISE

also man Aradia is just so happy to find a hat like Indiana Jones it's adorable

I don't think so, I don't see Aradia making a urine filter out of socks.

IDE/THEORY: there is a program (coded at a later date) on the crosbytop that, when loaded onto the computers at the asteroid, will result in completing the Scratch and sending the trolls to the human session/vice versa. John deliberately gave cal the wallet so that it ends up in the hands of one of the trolls.

I'm kind of torn between thinking it's awesome to see Aradia's backstory and see some Indiana Jones references, and feeling frustrated that this is something that could have been told to us from a single Aradia Pesterchum chat or something, and required considerably less time than is being dedicated.

...Like given how long Act 5 has been, a part of me is just like "can't every update from here on out actually be important?" And even if Andrew finds some ridiculously awesome way to make this sequence of events utterly critical to the narrative in retrospect, it still could have been revealed in far less panels and with far less effort. As is, finding out exactly what happened to Cal and how Aradia discovered the temple feels more just a cute little Easter Egg that readers didn't particularly need to know.

Personally I'm glad we're seeing how Aradia used to be before she died.

Seeing as a few characters made a big deal about how different she became.

I don't buy it, personally. Considering that this was, essentially, one update, in a normal format. It's not spending a ton of time on something, and show not tell is much better than, "Hey, here's a pesterchum log of all that happened but doesn't give you an idea of how awesome I was."

Yeah, this isn't quite "the funniest conversation ever" or "the best rap-off in paradox space". It pays to actually see what happened here.
