Outer Heaven
We arrive at Outer Heaven!
Like Katrina's house, it is possible to get kicked out of Outer Heaven - and then you have to wait awhile and come back. By "Wait awhile" I mean do other things - Snatcher doesn't literally have a timer or anything. But in the interest of expiditing this investigation, let's do this by the book.
MOVE > GO INSIDE
Doorman: You'll need to have one of our exclusive masks from "Plato's Cavern," or I'm afraid I can't let you in. I suggest that you purchase a mask over at "Plato's Cavern". We look forward to your next visit.
Oh, right. The mask.
POSSESSIONS > USE > MASK
Gillian: All right, let's try on the Easter Island mask...
Doorman: Oh, that looks great on you.
MOVE > GO INSIDE
What's it like inside Outer Heaven?
Okay now that we've broken enough fourth walls to level a fucking house, let's keep going.
LOOK > DANCER
Metal: Savor the moment, Gillian! Her dancing is really something special!
Nice. Okay, let's see if this is one of the places Gibson was actually at. Well, first let's just relax.
ORDER > DRINK
Gillian: Bartender! Give me a Moonsalt, will ya'?
Manager: Here you are.
Gillian: <<gulp, gulp>> Ahhh! That really hits the spot!
ORDER > DRINK
Gillian: Bartender! How about another one of those Moonsalts?
Manager: Here you are.
Gillian: <<gulp, gulp>> Ahhh! That really hits the spot!
Metal: Gillian! You're on duty!
ORDER > DRINK
Gillian: Bartender! Another Moonsalt!
Manager: Here you are.
Gillian: <<gulp, gulp>> Ahhh! That really hits the spot! Whoa! I think all those drinks are starting to get to me...
Metal: Would you please stop this...
Don't tell me what to do! You don't even have a soul!
ORDER > DRINK
Metal: You are probably still suffering from the effects of your drink...
Gillian: That's it! I've had it! No more drinking for me!
Well, we're buzzed, but let's investigate anyway! So, was this the place Gibson was at?
ORDER > BUFFALO CUISINE
Manager: Here you are.
Gillian: Mmmm. Buffalo-ey. This.. This is great!
Okay, odds are it was. Let's meet that dancer... you know, for investigative purposes.
CALL > DANCER
Metal: I'll call Isabella. Hey! Isabella! Over here!
Note: Isabella used to be the mascot for my website, way way back in the day. I captioned her with something like "Welcome to slowbeef.com, your source for video game humor! Oh, and try to guess what obscure Sega CD game I'm from!"
Isabella: An Easter Island statue and... a robot?
LOOK > ISABELLA
Gillian: Oh my god...what a knockout! And that leather outfit...
Isabella: What's wrong? Do you find me attractive?
LOOK > ISABELLA
Gillian: Jeez... look at the size of those...eyes on her. Its amazing what 21st Century technology is capable of.
Metal: What's wrong, Gillian?
Gillian: (Gotta love these actresses. Jamie looks like a little boy compared to this woman!)
Metal: Gillian, what are you mumbling about?
Yeah, you seem like the shy type, too, you fucking stripper wannabe!
ASK > ABOUT GIBSON
Indeed we do.
POSSESSIONS > SHOW > PHOTO > GIBSON'S PHOTO
Metal: She seems like she might be able to remember.
POSSESSIONS > SHOW > PHOTO > GIBSON'S PHOTO
Gillian: Take a careful look, okay?
Isabella: Oh! That's right! This was the guy who got sick after eating buffalo. I remember him.
ASK > ABOUT GIBSON
Isabella: Well, it was just the other day. It wasn't Masquerade Hour, so I remember his face pretty clearly. He seemed to be waiting around for one of our regular customers.
Gillian: A regular?
Isabella: He was going out of his way to eat buffalo...then he spat up blood. I was really grossed out!
Gillian: You say he was waiting for someone?
Isabella: Well, I suppose it was more like he was following him. He left as soon as the other guy did.
ASK > ABOUT THAT MAN
Gillian: Would you mind telling me a little about him?
Isabella: I don't know his name, but he was in here all the time. Especially when we weren't running Masquerade Hour.
Gillian: Outside of Masquerade Hour? So that means you've seen his face, then. Do you remember it?
Isabella: ...I think so.
Gillian: All right, Metal. Let's have her come down to headquarters with us. We need to use Jordan and put together a montage.
Metal: We can't take her to headquarters.
Gillian: Why not?
Isabella: What are you mumbling about?
Gillian: This is really a delicate issue.
Metal: Although inconvenient, we should take down her description, and then go back to headquarters to build the montage on our own.
ASK > ABOUT THAT MAN > MAN'S ACTIVITIES
He was in here at all different times, so he probably doesn't have a job, or work regular hours.
ASK > ABOUT THAT MAN > MAN'S DESCRIPTION
Gillian: Could you try to remember his distinguishing characteristics?
Metal: Gillian, keep the description in mind. Afterwards, we can use it to put together a montage.
FACIAL SHAPE
Gillian: What was the overall shape of his face?
Isabella: He had kind of a bony look.
TYPE OF EYES
Gillian: What about his eyes?
Isabella: He had this really piercing gaze... a rather threatening look.
TYPE OF NOSE
Gillian: What kind of nose did he have. [sic]
Isabella: It was pointy, like mine.
TYPE OF MOUTH
Gillian: How about his mouth?
Isabella: He had thin lips, I think.
TYPE OF HAIR
Gillian: How was he wearing his hair?
Isabella: It was sort of naturally flowing, towards the back of this head. And he had a big widow's peak.
MAN'S AGE
Gillian: About how old would you say he was?
Isabella: He looked like he was in his thirties.
So, next update... back to Jordan or stay here, flirt with Isabella and get thrown out?
Bonus Post by Gillian Seed
"Well, well.... what do we have here?"
How can something so wrong be so right!? But...
That whole conversation with the fortune teller, as well as that thing with the hotline got me thinking... perhaps I need to stop being such the ladies man that I am and turn back to Janie... I have been the most faithful man in the past few days, but perhaps I can reform myself... a little.
Maybe if we go to Alton Plaza and look around I might be able to find something that I could give to Jamie as a gift or something, or find something period that might help my relationship. It can't hurt, right? Let's go to Alton Plaza and look around a bit, yeah...
