Part 43: Returning the Tape Recorder
Music: Gusty Town







I'd rather not say


That can't be good...









Frank leaves after saying his piece.


Music: Blue Lady

This also can't be good...









New Music: Lonely Goodbye







This Game Over is just

Music: Dream's End






Tony: 5
Mags: 2
Dylan: 2
Frank: 2
Rex: 1
Marie: 1
Frank is starting to become the second most unlikable neighbor in this game.
Music: Gusty Town

It really seems like this game is enforcing honesty. Unlike Hotel Dusk.
It was on the laundry floor










Louie managed to live criminal-free!



Good to see that Kyle doesn't forget Louie



That doesn't mean you can just blame him for theft. He might do other crime instead. Like fraud or assault!


(How do you know about his past?)




That's really vague.



Remember when accusing Louie of being guilty causes a Game Over? Remember how eventually Louie become our best bro? Good times.



















What now?







Frank says his piece and leaves.



Music: Overstepped Memory

This is the description for the broken tape recorder. I forgot to show it earlier.

Now that we chased Frank off from snooping around Tony's room and had 2 Game Overs because we got caught here, let's snoop around!

Music: Hidden Proof

Wash sink There's a wash basin next to the bathroom door. I see a few lumps of toothpaste stuck in it.
Sink shelf There's mould on the shelf. No joke.
Mirror This technically counts as a mirror, but it's so grimy that it's ceased all usefulness.
I'm regretting this already

Fridge It's a refrigerator with a freezer built in. I'd call the thing retro, but it's just old.

Food The only food in here is a packet of ham and a jar of pickles.

Milk There's a huge bottle of milk at the bottom. Not sure I expected that.


Wise choice.
Bottles There are a few bottles of cherry juice on the inside of the door.


I'm more surprised it's not all booze.
Top right shelf The lacquer on the front of the cupboards is peeling off pretty badly.
Top left shelf Some of these cupboards are missing their handles.
Kitchen sink Tony's left a bunch of dirty dishes in the sink.

Bottom right shelf The drawers are completely disorganised. The ones that open, that is.
Bottom left shelf The doors to these cupboards look like they're barely holding on.
Exhaust There's grease all over the extractor. Tony's clearly never cleaned it.
Kettle There's a kettle on the stove. It still has some water in it.
Stove The oven looks surprisingly clean. He probably never uses it.
Right cupboard There's a locking cupboard there, but the door's all warped so it won't open.
Left cupboard All of Tony's cups and plates are in this cupboard...and it doesn't amount to much.

Bottom cupboard I'm not touching the cupboards at the bottom. Eurgh.


Curtain The shower curtain is slightly damp...and damp isn't a good word.
Shower head There are a few drops of water on the shower head. My great eyesight comes in handy again.
Faucets Yes, these are the taps for the bathtub.
Bathtub There's limescale all over the bathtub. I doubt he's ever even attempted to clean it.
Towel There's a bath towel hanging on the side of the tub. Not the best place for it to dry...
Bottle Tony's left his shampoo on top of the toilet. It's a popular brand, and soft on the scalp.

Toilet There are marks on the side of the toilet that must be from the shower spraying on it.
Tissue I'm not entirely surprised by the location of the toilet paper holder. Nor by the fact that Tony's almost out of toilet paper.


Lamp The bulb is dead in this lamp.

Blinds The blind is all grimy. Oh well, not much to look at outside anyway.
Bed The bed cover is a sickly brown colour.
Left pillow Tony's pillows don't look too comfortable. But I'd rather not touch them to find out.
Right pillow The pillows are all ragged and misshapen.
Jeans Tony has left a pair of vintage jeans lying on the bed.
Poster There's a poster of a dame in a bathing suit hanging up next to the bed.

Zoomed-in poster She's an attractive lady. Can't say she's my type though.

And now for our main attraction.

Poster It's a poster of a young man in a terrible outfit looking far too proud of his guitar.

Zoomed-in poster Now that I look, I think it's a poster of Tony in his glory days.
Records Some records have been hung up on the wall.

Keyboard I see a keyboard but no stand. I'll be generous and assume it's in one of the boxes.
TV A small television. Like the rest of Tony's possession, it's garish and faded.
Table Well, I guess you could call this a TV stand, but it's basically just a small table.
Guitar This guitar looks like it's seen better days.
Right shelf These shelves are full of jazz and rock albums. They almost reach up to the ceiling.

Bottles on shelf I see Tony's left some empty whiskey bottles lying around.
Headphones These headphones seem a little oversized.
Record player There's a record player on top of the shelves. Hey, they make them pretty small these days.
Upper shelf I've heard most of these bands. I think they're all pretty popular.
Lower shelf The records on the bottom shelf are covered in dust.
Bottles on floor These empty whiskey bottles are all over the floor. I guess that could be Frank's doing...
Record on floor This record's fallen on the floor and been left there.
Tapes The tapes scattered across the floor all have labels reading "Audition."

Papers




(Did Tony send the order sheet?)



We'll see later if Tony will punch us for the fourth time, I guess.
