Chapter 17 Summary

They examine the elf’s corpse. He wears a uniform shirt with an insignia on it. Donut critiques the sewing and embroidery techniques of the insignia, though she does not know how she knows about it. Carl takes the shirt to show Mordecai. Then they examine GumGum. Among her possessions are items labeled Gate Pass and Mysterious Letter, which they also take. Donut remarks that they are obligated to complete the quest now.


They return to the pub. Donut and Carl can now open their Fan Boxes. Mordecai warns that sometimes the items fans vote for are good, and sometimes they are gags or taunts. Donut’s fan box contains a photo of Beatrice. Donut is ecstatic, worrying Carl with the level of her continued devotion to her former owner. Carl is momentarily upset and then realizes he does not care anymore. Next, Carl opens his fan box, which contains a wicker-basket-like scoop called a xistera, used in the game jai alai, also called Cesta Punta. This is the random hobby he received earlier. The xistera straps to his arm and allows him to lob balls at great distances. He quickly realizes he can use it to throw his round bombs.
