Ancient Of Days on :
Wow. OK, you've definitely got ME guessing on this one.

I wasn't sure what to expect when Night_Watcher told me that there was something that I needed to see in THE city environment. I didn't particularly want to go back there. It was one of my best levels, but somehow, with every step, I felt like another flaw was going to appear and leave me on the ground, tortured and beaten.
Fair_Weather_Friend[19:01]: You know, I'm sure that whatever you want to show me is really great, but I'm going out with some friends tonight. Night_Watcher[19:02]: Liar Fair_Weather_Friend[19:02]: I don't want to go in there. Can't you just tell me about it? Night_Watcher[19:02]: Nope. You need to see it. Fair_Weather_Friend[19:03]: What is it? What's so important? Night_Watcher[19:03]: You'll see. Fair_Weather_Friend[19:03]: I hate you. Ten minutes later, I found myself back in the city. Night_Watcher didn't even greet me. He just started walking hurriedly toward the river, gesturing for me to follow. We climbed to the roof of a large building, and Night Watcher hurried toward the edge. He stopped short, and looked around in confusion. He circled, searching in the muck that covered the roof for something that obviously wasn't there.
"I don't get it. She was just here. Brain_Stem saw her, too. He killed her. She was laying right here. There was blood all over. I threw up. But even that's gone." "You just loaded the wrong file. You loaded the default environment, instead of the one that was saved." I said it, and then started thinking about what he said. "Wait a second. Who are you talking about? Who did Brain_Stem kill? What's going on?" "Hold on. I've got to check something." No explanation. Nothing. Night_Watcher just shimmered out of existence, and left me standing there. I paced back and forth, staring at the ground, my hands buried in my pockets. Several minutes later, he came panting back. "It was the right file. She's just gone. There's no record that Brain_Stem and I were even here. I don't get it. Every time she appears, the entire episode where we see her disappears." The light came on in my head. "You saw her, didn't you? You saw my girl. Is that who you're talking about? Is that who Brain_Stem killed?" He looked a little bit shell-shocked. "Yeah. I saw her. Well I saw her dead body. But now she's gone. And it's like she was never here. No blood, no vomit, no tracks, nothing. Just gone. So why was she still here when I came back with Brain_Stem to see what he'd done?" Trackbacks
