Gibson's House
Amazingly, we got the "be nice, she's 14 (18) and sad" majority. Goons never cease to surprise me. But thanks to the magic of emulators, we can do both!
ASK > ABOUT GIBSON
Katrina: I didn't really talk much with my dad lately. He was always so busy investigating stuff... cooped up in that study.
ASK > ABOUT KATRINA
Katrina: Me? I'm just a spoiled brat who never cared about her parents...
ASK > ABOUT BUFFALO RESTAURANT
Gillian: Do you know of any places that serve buffalo? We found buffalo in your dad's stomach...
Katrina: Buffalo? We never had that here. Gross! Buffalo? I'd never eat that.
DO SOMETHING > WIPE AWAY TEARS
Gillian: Here, let me wipe your tears...
Metal: Gillian, I saw you blow your nose into that handkerchief...
Gillian: Shut up! (Damn! I hope she doesn't notice!)
Katrina: Thanks, Gillian.
MOVE > STUDY
Katrina: This is my dad's study. I haven't touched a thing. It's just the way he left it before he died.
LOOK > AROUND ROOM
Metal: Everything's neat and tidy... just like Jean. Wait! There's a personal computer here!
LOOK > COMPUTER
Metal: This is the model PC68 Genesis. These have not been manufactured for nearly 50 years.
Katrina: My farther was always using it. Some junk shop gave it to him, and he fixed it up.
POSSESSIONS > USE > DISK
Interesting...
ASK > ABOUT PC68
Katrina: This is my dad's personal computer, he used it like a diary. Wow, I can't believe my dad left a message like that...
INVESTIGATE WINDOW
Metal: It has a double locking mechanism.
Katrina: My dad was always really careful.
INVESTIGATE > CHESS BOARD
Metal: The black queen is missing.
Gillian: I see. The queen is missing, eh?
Metal: The design of this set matches that of the piece we found in Jean's coat.
Gillian: That piece I've got definitely goes to this set.
Gillian, are you even listening? Metal just said those things!
LOOK > DESK
Metal: There is a bottle, a photograph, and a chess board on the shelf.
INVESTIGATE > BOTTLE
Metal: Now analyzing...
Gillian: So this is the sunscreen that Gibson was talking about, eh? Is it okay if we take this?
Katrina: Go right ahead.
Metal: I have stored the sunscreen.
LOOK > PHOTO
INVESTIGATE > PHOTO
Metal: This picture seems to be a few years old. Jean looks rather young.
Gillian: Katrina, do you mind if I borrow this picture for a few days?
Katrina: No, go right ahead...
Metal: I have stored Jean's picture.
I think we've done all we can here.
MOVE > LIVING ROOM
Okay, let's hit on 14 (cough - 18) year-old recently orphaned Katrina!
ASK > ABOUT KATRINA
DO SOMETHING > CONSOLE
DO SOMETHING > CONSOLE
DO SOMETHING > PERSUADE
No, I'm not kidding!
DO SOMETHING > PERSUADE
Yes.
DO SOMETHING > PERSUADE
DO SOMETHING > PERSUADE
DO SOMETHING > PERSUADE
Okay, I feel kind of bad about that. Let's reload a save state so that never happened! Lord, I wish life had save states. Now let's be a gentleman and excuse ourselves.
MOVE > EXIT
Let's go home!
Gillian's Apartment
EXIT TURBOCYCLE
What are we up to on the fourth wall break count again? Eight?
MOVE > GO INSIDE
Nice little pad, there.
Metal: For a "widower" the room seems rather tidy. I'm quite impressed.
Uh, I think the game meant "bachelor".
Gillian: Don't you ever shut up? Are you programmed to evaluate my personal life, too?
Metal: My duty is to support you and observe that you are properly carrying out your responsibilities as a Junker.
Gillian: Some observer... you mean informer, right?
Metal: Well, one could put it that way...
LOOK > AROUND ROOM
Metal: There is nothing unusual. Everything is in its place.
Gillian: How can you know that?
Metal: I was provided with complete data files on your apartment...
LOOK > SHELF
Metal: Gillian, there is a photograph on the shelf.
Gillian: Yes. That's a very special picture for me.
LOOK > PHOTO
Aw.
Metal: Ah yes, the wife you are separated from. She is very attractive.
Gillian: (come to think of it, I wrote Jamie's videophone number on the back of the picture...)
INVESTIGATE > PHOTO
Metal: There are some numbers written on the back -- 39-3444. It seems to be a videophone number.
Gillian: Yes, that's the number for Jamie's apartment.
Metal: Why don't you try giving her a call?
Gillian: Would you let me handle my own personal life?
Well, maybe Metal's got a point...
USE VIDEOPHONE > CALL > 39-3444
Amazingly, I had reloaded a save state to take the video and got a completely different phone call from her! (She was just going to bed.)
TALK > YOUR FEELINGS
Gillian: Jamie, I'm not sure how to say this, but I really want to make up with you. I want to try again.
Jamie: Please don't say that Gillian. Right now, I think the two of us are better off apart. I'm sure of it...
ASK > DESTINATION
Gillian: Jamie, where are you headed?
Jamie: Oh, I just have an appointment with someone.
Gillian: A man?
Jamie: [pause] Why do you want to know?
Gillian: [pause] Well, you know, I just like to keep tabs on you.
Jamie: You jealous?
Gillian: .......
Gillian: Sorry. And don't worry about anything.
Jamie: I'm just going for my regular examination.
Gillian: What, your memory recovery treatments?
Jamie: That's right. Doctor you-know-who.
ASK > MEMORY
Gillian: Any sign your memory may be coming back?
Jamie: I'm afraid not. I can't remember anything about living together with you or having fun together. What about you, Gillian?
Gillian: It's the same for me. I can't remember anything from before I woke up in that bed in the army hospital.
HANG UP
[At this point, a couple of people started buying gimmick accounts to contribute to the thread.]
Bonus Post by Gillian Seed
"Well, well.... what do we have here?"
LOOK > THREAD
It seems to be some sort of Snatcher-related thread... But why would the Snatchers want a forums thread for? And who's that handsome devil in those images?
