Still Playing: Saturday Edition (Part II)

More Thoughts:
-Ok. I check the checkpoint from the menu and weve finished four and have five left to go. So not quite halfway through just yet.
-Well lets go find us some aliens. Or astral traveling. Or love? Or all three? At once?
-Ew its raining outside. Rain, rain, go away, or my transmitter will not play.
-Another message from Gerald at the news station. He begs me to call him back because this is bigger than me or something or other. Is it bigger than 47 unpaid parking tickets? Doubt it.
-There is a cockroach in the hallway. John comments on how he used to hate them and it scurries away. Diddid that do something?
-The transmitter on the roof did indeed stop. CALLED IT. Rain, please leave. Youre ruining my attempts to contact aliens.
-John does see the video of the ship on the news and comments that it does look like an Uviel ship, but he doesnt get why theyd be so careless all of a sudden. Interesting.
-Well Ty isnt in the office, and Im assuming Anna wont be at the beach since its raining. Ill go talk to Margaret instead!
-Margaret wants to know what it was like coming back to Earth. Probably pretty lame, if I had to guess.
-John: They took me to a farm up just south of Hanover. Yes, yes, we know what people do when they have unwanted pets.
-He went back to his apartment after that, hoping to run into Sarah. Ex-girlfriend? No clue, but she wasnt there. He called Ty instead, who was there to help. SEE SARAH, I DONT NEED YOU ANYMORE.
-Although I guess you go to live with aliens for five years, your girlfriend (?) is right to leave you. I wouldnt try to out wait an alien abduction either.
-John: I dont know why, but I felt really good that day. I wouldve given anything to stay on Vanien. But I missed my friends, Margaret. Not enough to come back after 3 or 4 years, but after 5 it was definitely time.
-John brings up the alien footage, and Margaret says she hasnt seen it yet because shes too busy. Ok, yeah, sure, you let me know what you were so busy with that takes precedent over definitive proof aliens exist.
-I check in with the chief who has finally done some police work. They dug through old reports and found that in 1953, 17 total people went missing. We might be dealing with Pennywise here, folks.
-Chief also gives more info on the missing cars, which all turned up in Farefield Park. The bad news there is that also happens to be where Kornfield met the aliens when they abducted in. Apparently it is the Uviel's favorite vacation spot.
-Oooh new location on the map! I can now go to Farefield Park. BUT FIRST Im going to go back to the office to see if Ty is in yet.
-Yep hes in. TY TELL ME ABOUT THE MISSING PEOPLE IN 1953!
-Hes just like huh and thats it. SOME HELP YOU ARE TY.
-Couple of things of note at the park: a pack of matches with a weird symbol on the front, and a street sign showing Pacific. Kornfield muses thats the same street he works, and suddenly those cctv camera out front of our building have a purpose.
-You can look around the park, but there isnt too much to see. Kornfield wonders if the missing people were summoned here, but he doesnt think that sounds like the Uviel. He wonders if he was summoned here too, but doesnt seem to remember. Guy, you have to remember your abduction better. It has to be like a top five important event in your life!
-Ok, now were getting somewhere. I bring the note to the cctv cameras which gives Kornfield the idea to talk to Ty, and Ty then hands over the tapes for me to review. IM A DETECTIVE! Well, some sort of lock install engineer, but a noir-y detective-y one.
-Actually Johns work is kind of weird, considering how this game is playing out. It definitely has noir vibes, and his work as a lock installer doesnt really come up. Seems like making him a detective wouldve been an logical change. Curious if it plays a role later on.
-Oh, nice. I use the tapes in my vcr, and then the newspaper report on the tv that talks about the missing cars. I manage to see two of the missing vehicles right before they go missing. Each one drove by at roughly 1245 AM and each one was followed by a white truck afterwards. Kornfield muses that its probably nothing. Im beginning to see why this guy isnt a detective.
-I wake up the next morning and theres a reporter at my door! Ugh. How do I know its a reporter? Uh, good question. Kornfield just says it looks like a reporter and refuses to open the door.
-Someone took the transmitter and Walkman off the roof. Yeah, maybe leaving multiple pieces of expensive machinery unattended for a lengthy period of time was not the best idea.
-Aw farts. The reporters are also camped out at the bottom of the fire escape. This one I also know is a reporter because theres a guy pointing a giant tv camera at me.
-This is Leanne Hayworth with Channel 7 news. Pretty solid reporter name, honestly.
-LEAVE ME ALONE I HAVE PARKING TICKETS TO CONSIDER!
-Leanne: Do you have a brief moment to speak with us? John run away man it isnt worth it.
-He goes ahead and talks to them. OOOOOF. I hope you have 53k to pay off that mountain of parking tickets, man.
-Welp shes the one who stole my device and she listened to the tape. Wow. Great job, genius. Now youre never going to get those parking tickets paid.
-Kornfield tries to downplay things but her finding that caught him off guard. She keeps hammering him for info and its kind of hard to play dumb when theres a recording on the roof saying hey Uviel it is me John Kornfield. I definitely believe you are connected to things and come get me I want a burger.
-John: I think some funny things are going on. HAHAHA 21 PEOPLE ARE MISSING HAHAHA oh wait I meant tragic yes tragic.
-John you idiot. Hes like I dont think the same thing that happened to me is happening now. Nobody knows whats happening. Nobody knows what happened in 72. Nobody knows what happened in 53 AH DANG IT DANG IT FORGET I SAID THAT.
-Yeah the reporter didnt know about anything from 53 either. Way to blab, blabby.
-Ty looks at me and is immediately like Whats wrong? Whats with that look on your face. TY I BLEW IT ALL I NEED A LOAN MAN I CANT PAY ALL THESE PARKING TICKETS.
-Newspaper says Henry Alton died at 78. I still dont know who that is, but ok.
-Park is full with people this time, but I cant do anything there. Nothing really to do at the office either, so I head over to the mall.
-Kornfield thinks he likes the sond of Margarets voice. Ok, maybe tell her that instead of talking about your favorite food courts this time.
-John: You know, electronics use crystals. Theyre used to measure time. OH GOD KEEP THE WEIRD ALARM CLOCK GUY AWAY FROM CRYSTALS GUYS! He's going to give us a clock that measures time by the beams of light that refract off of the crystal imperfections and I already lost my ability to tell time last time I played that game.
-Also, that doesnt sound true but I dont know enough about electronics or crystals to disprove it. Maybe this is all just part of Johns hilarious flirting technique.
-John and Margaret talk about crystals for a while and I start looking for a fire escape of my own to sneak out of.
-On to the beach, where Anna adds nothing of value. I thought she was going to recognize the matchbook, but nope. Ive asked everyone about it now
-There is a new ice cream flavor: cosmic swirl. Sounds better than orange licorice, at least.
-Well uh time to go apologize to the chief.
