Worldbuilding[[edit] | [edit source]]

- The Man has a travel capsule, takes Quill to a desert planet, a planet with diamond flies, and a dance club.
- He uses a matter grenade to destroy a large creature and feed vultures.
- Miss Quill, after walking in on Charlie and Matteusz having sex, tells them to leave the living room, as she wants to watch Flog It, and saying how she likes it.
- The Stranger has 8 eyes, 360 degree vision, and mandibles. He belongs to a race that dances before entering hibernation.
- Charlie created the Man from an "energy reservoir" he found, a thin leakage of tempio-spatial energy that's really more psycho-spatial. He serves as an anchor for it.
- Quill mentions that domesticity is a kink for some people.
