Finally, some tropical air
There you go, sir. Your Amaretto Sour, hold the amaretto. Thanks just the way I like it.
And for you lady, your Amaretto Sour hold the sour.
Why thank you, I didn't know you guys make this.
Are you gonna be able to handle all that lemon juice?
It's an old favorite.
We're actually here
You've wanted to visit for a long time now, haven't you?
Is it everything you dreamed it would be?
Well, when you've got expectations
But yeah, it's still beautiful
How 'bout you though?
Hm?
You know...spending half of our savings on a delayed honeymoon and all that
Hey, now's not the time to think like that
We'll bounce back up. I got a few gigs waiting when we get back
Not to mention your new job, Mister Airline Pilot
Don't jinx it, it might still be a while until I start with the company
Besides, the pay's not gonna be good for a while
Hey, as long as you get to wear the cool shades
I talked about Maria last week. We got the flexible hours arranged
So we're ready, huh?
Yeah, as ready as we're gonna be
You know, this might be the last trip like this we'll have in a long time
Heh, we'll make the little bastard pay for all the vacations we missed one day
In the meantime, all the more reason to enjoy the rest of it
Here's to the rest of it.
Yeah, here's... uh
Yeah
The... I'm do a lot of bad words
Smooth fella
Hmm that was a sloppy start, but you know what that's okay. It's that's not a big deal
It's kind of... a little goofy right?
I say a lot of bad words... oh, that's your memento is just saying bad words huh, respect
Okay, yeah, you keep cursing up a storm, my man.
Let me uh, check around your honeymoon here.
Small uninhabitated aquarium
Well that seems redundant
Little bit
That's okay. Maybe they just bought it and just didn't want to get more stuff for it. Hey you're making some mallows
Come on Colin, water's not THAT cold
Yeah, go on Colin, stop making mallows and go frolic with your hwife
Those marshmallows are totally gonna get overcooked.
Some people like them burnt, like completely charred
Come on Colin, the water's not that cold. Aw man, Colin you're really terrible this whole being a husband thing
You know what I think we missed one actually
Give me a second Colin. I'll be right back
No, no I was wayyy off
Sorry Colin, I um I was mistaken. It happens.
Those are stone beds, it looks like
Those don't look very comfortable.
Not beds, I'm sorry
Um...beach recliners, I think is the term? But they're always reclined so I don't know
Ooooh
A faded painting of Bora Bora
Hmm (gasp) oh that's beautiful, one moment
A blank piece of paper
Looks like he's about to lay down some rhymes
He might be
Fia? You still awake?
Told you lemon juice is the way to go
You're a good boy, Colin
He did say that
Hmm okay. Fat rhymes now or the drink
No okay. The hibiscus
That hibiscus
This is more of a suitable place for that kind of flower
It really is
Well, Colin I'll uh leave you to uh tending to your
Sleepy waifu and uh, have a good night. I guess
Yayyy, backtracking
At least it's a beach
Yeah, it's...
peaceful and such
Right?
Right, and see we can see him roasting the mallows still, and her dancing in the, the shoreline
It's fine
Watts
Don't be that way
God I love this music though
Hey pal, want you to stop cleaning it up for ya
No nope, almost got it. There you go, there you go, good job buddy.
Some triggers change the memory lanes themselves, that's a fist
Now I'm worried
Are you sure that you want to do this
I don't want to do this
Not at all actually, this seems like a bad idea
But um
Okay, sure I guess
Man
Oh, it's not a fist oh okay nevermind. It's just a handkerchief.
See I got nervous for a second there, but no we're fine
It's, we're good
It just looked like one
Hey, your shift's about to start at the shop
Okay, I'm almost done here
Did you even get your homework done yet, I'll do when there's no customers
Sneaky, I like it. Did you get your's done?
Heh heh, good one.
They're such good friends!
They're great, what the fuck happened?
Okay, so listen. He just finished like pretty much school, and he's married with Sophia
and he's like you know just became a pilot sure right and he's with her totally happy at the beginning of
This potential flight school thing
So what the hell happened in that short span of time?
That's dangerous. She should really get down from there
Ehh, she'll be fine
What happened?
For the love of God, tell me
Psst, that new kid they hired is realllly quiet
Yeah, but at least he gets the work done
Doesn't he have a scheduled flight this afternoon?
Yeah, but we're a plane short cuz someone snagged a blown tire
Unless someone gets cancelled. I don't think he'll get to fly
Does he even have an instructor yet?
Beats me
Hey, I think they're talking about you
I know, shh
Yeah, think they might be
That one tile he keep sweeping must be super clean.
I mean, yeah absolutely
I think they're talking about you, yeah, I think they are
Yo, that's some sweet classes you takin' there, my man
You got lift, you got thrust, you got drag, you got weight. What, you're even using the same picture with the cat head on it
Nice
A blurred entry about working at the airport and Faye falling asleep on the wing of a plane
There's also some random class notes, read sure!
Tell me all about the runways
The runway numbers actually tell you the direction of the runway
Simply add a zero to the end of the runway number, and you have the magnetic heading it's facing
Example, I believe that eg is example, I could be wrong.
Runway 9 means it's 90 degrees on a magnetic compass, so it's facing east
This is also why the numbers on the opposite ends of each runway are always 18
180 degrees apart
Interesting
Each plane as a minimum airspeed it must maintain under each configuration to keep flying
Something about exceeding critical angle of attack and air flow separating the airfoil blah blah blah
In conclusion, planes are kind of like a bus in the movie which explodes if it goes under 50 miles per hour. I know that movie
Contrary to some beliefs engine failures doesn't make the plane plummet out of the sky
The plane would no longer be able to climb but it can still land in a pilot controlled glide
Reminder to self, engine failure doesn't just make the plane plummet out of the sky. Engine failure doesn't make the plane plummet out of the sky
Engine plane pfft
Engine failure doesn't just make plane plummet out of the sky
Fair enough, um so uh I know
That you two are best friends, but do you think
That by chance, Faye might have narcolepsy because she is falling asleep many times now
Just maybe something to look into
*constipated sound*
Every single time
You're doing your best, Barry.
Here uh, let me get that for ya
You just gotta unhook it from the inside and
Wow. That is some crazy maneuvering kid
I've been here for years, and I could never figure that thing out
You must have, like, some kind of majackal pfft
Magical vending power
Um I only know cause I have to clean it so
Yeah he tried his best
Yep, all right. Just making sure, all right cool beans, don't mind me while I go to the store
Hey
Okay, here's $24 in change
Ohh wow that's a lot of pennies
It's okay. I have all~ day
Wow aren't you a fucking bitch?
Yeah, yeah fucking know it alright cool
Okay, yeah well like good luck um
Bitch
Sorry, that's really rude to say, but yeah, she's passed out again
Just like that huh, I guess everyone has the reason to start flying
Um
And what about you?
Well just between you and me, flight instructin' isn't my real passion
In fact, before I came here to teach, I was an acrobatic skywriting pilot
Wow, like makin' stuff appear in the sky with plane trails?
Yup, I was darn good, too
But then I got fired
Why?
Total discrimination, I tell ya. It was all 'cause they found out I'm an illiterate who dropped out of school
Did they care that I was the most skillful pilot in the fleet?
(yeah)
But just 'cause I don't read good, they drop me like a hot potato
Ugh, it riles me up just thinking about it
Yeah, that really doesn't sound fair
Well, um
Maybe if I need your service one day. I'll be able to hire you
Thanks kid
Man...first you get me my soda, then you vow to give my life meaning again.
I see that I'm gonna have to flight instruct the heck outta ya
That went well
Yeah, he got a crazy
She sure makes herself at home, maybe she doesn't get good sleep at night
Well, um. Yep, all right, fair enough.
You uh, you two enjoy your soda...
Um, I'm gonna...okay
Hmm, we might be in a bit of a rut
There's still a memory link missing and the readings indicate we've activated everything in the area
Eh, maybe we could stimulate his memory somehow
Hopefully, let's keep your eyes open
And maybe...
'Cause she's looking at this painting here? Oh, can't get by
Fair enough, well you enjoy your pennies, I guess
I'm just uh gonna roam around a bit here. Oh, okay?
Did you feel that?
What?
I don't know, some kind of breeze
Now there was like a person that ran by like a rapid fast
It was kind of crazy
By the outside
Huh, this wasn't open earlier
Did you do that?
Uh, if I did you would know, I've been literally right behind you
In fact, I don't even know why I'm just following you in a constant manner
Because limitations of the engine, Neil.
Gosh
Oh
Oh
What the heck is this...?
I...don't know?
But, it seems like this may be our ticket out of this memory
So what, we needed a way to continue and this place just magically open itself up?
In the most unsettling way, no less?
I'm not sure what's going on with this place either, but there's only one way to go now
Come on, we gotta jump
Oh hey, yeah, nope no, I can't even look down
It's the only way to find out, Neil
Okay, I'm jumping in three, two, okay someone pushed him
Quit pushing me off the ledges, Eva! What what I didn't push you
The fuck you didn't
Whoa
Hey, you hanging on all right?
What is even going on and why is this happening?
Wait tone your ham down, I think I see them inside
What is even going on and why is this happening
You're doing just fine, we're not gonna die
Now, do you have the runway in sight?
I, I think so?
Okay, fly the approach and don't forget the cockpit check
Um
Mixture full rich, uh primer in and locked
Zero Yankee Romeo, cleared to land runway two one
Zero Yankee Romeo
We're too high, get some flaps in there
Speed! Lower the nose!
All right, I have control. Oh, thank god
Hold on, looks like we're gonna land
Huh
Hey y'all good
No, Eva. I'm not all good
In fact I'm dead
*sad music plays*
Oh God no. Watts...
Get the fuck up, all right
(*laughs) that was cute. All right well uh
Good first attempt, I think
Hey
Is it normal to feel kind of dizzy?
Don't worry, you'll get past it in time
You know what, here take my hat
Ah, you remind me of back when I was a young lad
As in, back then, I also knew someone else who was nervous like you
Hey, you look pretty cool in that
This was nothing compared to that acrobatic skywriting flights I've done, I tell you.
One day. I'm gonna get back to that
One day you will, Barry maybe
The memento...is the hat
You do look cool and let me take it real quick if you don't mind
BAM right to the noggin
Let me just keep bamming you right into the noggin
Another headshot Eva no-scope!
Nice references he got there.
Booyeah, give him the concussion!
Nice bounce
You're lucky I programmed my head to be as hard as a rock
You sure planned ahead
Give me that hat
Okay gotta make hats
Can do
Doesn't look terribly hard, but I could be mistaken uh hold on like this and then
Wait was that right, who really knows anymore
I see, no wonder why everything is such a challenge in this world because I'm in it
Well, there's half of it, I guess. All right, put you over here, actually I could do it like this huh?
Oh I gotta push something through here first I see
Okay, well first I'll push this through here
Secondly through that
Wait no, do like this and then
Oops sorry, you're good, you
Uhh
Now we gonna do it like this
No, like that okay there we go, I got it. I believed in myself and the heart of my puzzle
Nice
Let's go
What the hell happened to her
Huh
Damn it Barry
Well he did warn him
Hey Barry did his best, all right. He tried his hardest. Well, that's the memento
So that's why he got fired
Is that a yes
Huh, well uh
Good job with the proposal Colin. Bye
That was a quickest memory yet, honestly god I'm impressed
All right, uh well looks like we have a whole row of nothing there
Interesting, so if I just shove them all over there
Shouldn't be too hard
So like this
Oh wait hold on. I went and made a bit of a goof as it were it's just a just a little goofin
That's fine, not a big deal these things tend to happen sometimes when you're a goof expert like myself
Uh you know, you just live with it really. So just go ahead and slide this back here, slide that up and uh
Connect the good stuff
All right
Seriously? Only one single orb for the memory of his proposal?
Hey, at least he remembered it
Hmm
Man how are you able to pilot an airplane, but not drive a car?
Priorities, thanks to you
Come on. We're gonna be late
*strategic sidestep*
She's sure getting lots of screen time compared to his wife at his proposal
There's...something about her that really bothers me
Oh don't take it so personally. It's not like Colin's your husband.
That's not what... (sigh) never mind
Her hair looks pretty similar to Sofia's which is why I'm confused
Hey, uh actually
What's the matter?
You know, I think I'm gonna pass on this one
It's your first rehearsal with them right? You're nervous enough as it is
Hey, I'm not nervous
And even if I, uh, were
Well, you being there would help
I guess, but...
I can't always hang around you know
Besides, you'll be able to concentrate better without me hanging around
Hey, remember how you always used to tell me about your day after school
Why don't you go on ahead and you could tell me about it after the rehearsal?
Okay, then it's decided. Bye~
Oh my
You'll be fine
Wow what a wacky gal?
Yeah that is a wacky gal, huh?
She, uh
Someone's a little cuckoo in the head, I mean you know that's that's okay
A proposal message for the whole city to see
Yeah, that's uh
interesting
But why huh?
Okay, let's get going then
Hey there, Colin buddy
This is kind of foreboding, why is it foreboding?
It's very foreboding, these... things aren't feeling too hot
Colin?
Hey, the rehearsal's about to start, chop-chop!
Colin?
Couple of blank pages
There's your memento. Alright, well, uh we'll be back Colin
Did the rehearsal not go so hot, or...
Oh this is that same stage, isn't it
Oh fuck
I-Is this the right place?
Ugh I can't believe I'm late
Was that... Sofia? I guess so
Huh, what the fuck happened
Okay stop stop stop stop everything
Something was off around bar 36... from somewhere on my right side
*timpani drum hit*
By someone in the cello section
*another timpani drum hit*
Someone's sitting in the second row toward the front
*lowest timpani drum hit*
Colin, is it? Think you're rushing a bit, better watch that
*stammers* I will
All right, let's pick it back up from bar 35
Right into the solo, ready?
Colin stop looking at her
I mean I know you're married to her
So this is a really awkward feeling, it's kind of like you get the spoilers before... it's really strange how this works out
Colin
Well at least things work down
Things kinda worked out you mean, or we wouldn't be here
Can we uh slip behind to Sofia?
And we know that Sofia is? a bad girl, I think she's just fine, I'm just...
Everyone looks cooler with a metaphorical spotlight yeah, you're right, but uh
I guess I'm just on Team Faye. You know
I kind of, you know, got to see them grow and stuff
So it's kind of strange to me as to why this is a thing and such. Hey, um Colin can he...
Okay, I'm just gonna. I'm just gonna borrow this real quick
Respect
Yo nice nice puzzle by the way, it's pretty T H I C C if you ask me. BAM thanks
That's interesting they like lock, huh
Strange
I'm sure there's a way to make this easier. Maybe like this and then... I see
Maybe I I say I see but I don't really know. I just kind of roll with things
But I think I got it. Oh wait actually I do got it, see?
Easy I like how you gotta use your noggin, but you're not gonna rip your hair out
Gives you that sense of accomplishment
All right, I'm done with mine
Me too. Let's see what you...
What is that?
My best effort
Going on dates already, he sure moves fast
Well, we're still skipping around so some time's probably passed
But what about Faye though?
That's adorable
That's adorable
Gee, wonder who he learned to draw like that from
Hmm well aquarium's a nice date choice
I'm just kind of scratching my noggin still, but it's a ni- date, ni-nice date choice
Huh
Colin, you up here pal?
Oh my god
Um yes, it's a ooh
Jellyfish!
Uh, are you feeling all right Eva?
So many of them!
Well uh, it's good to have interests other than gardening, I guess
Huh
Giant walled aquarium
Very nice aquarium
Go take care of this memory, will you? Just leave me be for a while
Right...
Huh girl likes her jellyfish, all right, jellyfish are cool
Well I guess I've always loved the piano, but...
When I was a kid I had a piano teacher
Every time I played she made me feel like the worst pianist in the world
For a while I stopped going then I stopped playing
But I guess I was a kid with no self-esteem 'cause it really got to me
And whenever I doubted myself. I'd remember her words
One day I had enough
And said to myself
Someday I'm gonna be a concert pianist
But isn't that letting her dictate what you do with your life?
Well, I guess I have a weird way of seeing things
To me it doesn't matter which path I take as long as I make the most of it
There's only so little time with this life we never be able to do all we want
No matter what we do there's always other things to try, other paths to take
So in the end, I think I just have to be satisfied with the ones that I took
But I'm just blabbering now. Enough about me
How about you? What made you want to become a pilot?
I...
I wanted to fly to places
That's it?
A long time ago, a friend of mine went somewhere far away
I guess I just
Wanted to go find them again
Anything important going on up there?
Not sure, I was staring at the sharks
Okay
Call me when we're ready to move on
You sure aren't a fan of us
Oh
Found the memento uh well. Uh I'll be back. Maybe yeah, there's uh
some stuff around
here, no? Okay, I must have missed something well, there's a right side ah there we go
There's a stuff
Hey the, uh touching area
Hey, where's it going?
Are you touching stuff with your fingers
Wow for a cephalopod, it sure is cuddly
It actually kind of tickles...oh
Is that really a regret though, I mean it made her laugh, its kind of cute really
It's a memory. What's wrong with that?
Why is this even in the petting pool?
It's fine. It'll wash out of your face
Probably, I didn't see any spots when you were older
You're good, dude, and that shirt. It's not even that cool
It's not a big deal if it's gone
with with it with
the tide
detergent
You see, you get that because I said
That's a huge double switcheroo thing cuz tide could be the water because we're an aquarium
But then it's it's an ink thing it's clothes. You know. It's crazy the aerobics and acrobatics I'm doing right now
Nuts, really
That's a sweet sweet paper airplane you got there pal. Uhhh gonna go ahead and
Try to take it
Somehow
Maybe so what if I push this up real quick push this again
push this
up like that, push that through and uh
You just go on up
Wow, look at me being the puzzle god over here. Yeah
I see you
Hey uh, we're good to move on now
Go on then, I'll catch right up
All right
Sure are taking your time
Hey, no one's kicking me out
Good thing I got my hours in time huh
You'd better have, it's gonna be a different world out there
You ready to go?
Yeah... in a moment
You done with your jellyfish phase?
It's not a phase, and yes
What's going on here?
Not sure yet, but the place sure looks deserted
Want to draw a plane? No one will be here to see it anyway
Well uh, you two have fun, we're gonna go steal from the soda machine if you don't mind me
There's no sodas at all
Is the family-owned business being closed down?
Notice the airport closure aw man
Huh I guess all things come to an end
Damn
Well I guess small airports don't really have too much safety netting oh, that's why he has that picture
Always liked that picture yeah?
Oh (*gasp*)
(accent) I had them save it for you, just a little something to remember this place by
Thanks boss
You've done good work for us kid
Honest, respectful work
Oh, and I almost forgot
Your favorite plane still here for one more day before we move her
If you want to give her one last flight before then
It's on the family
What a chill boss
Thanks boss
These shelves sure look weird being empty, huh?
This whole place does
Yeah
I get that feeling
Like that whole like moving house feeling where ya, you
Like for me at least when I grew up in the same place for the longest time
And I was finally moving out, and it was just all empty, and it was just such a weird
Sensation it was kind of melancholy as hell honestly
Hey you two, hibiscus
So what's the next step?
With the airport closing down and all?
Sure
Well, there's the freight flying job I applied for
I did an interview with them the other day, I think I got a good chance at it
There's still a long way to go, but that'll help me build some more flight hours
Wow
To think that you've actually come so far
It feels like only yesterday we were still standing on that balcony
Thanks for giving me the kick I needed, by the way
Happy to have obliged
Hey uh, any progress with that lady from the orchestra?
Sofia?
Well, we've been talking
And?
I don't know, I might try to ask her on a date soon
But well
You know how I am with that stuff
Want to help me prepare?
Oh, I'm not sure if I'd be much up with those sort of things
But if you want advice I say just to work on making yourself more interesting blah blah blah
Yeah, yeah
Still a work in progress
We haven't been talking as often lately, you know?
Sometimes even when I'm here, you just... do your own thing
I know
Sorry it's just been so busy
The good kind though, right?
Seems to me like you've got it together
I...
Hey, you gonna take up that flight the boss offered?
Barry said that there's a grass strip near the hill we used to go to right?
Might be a good time to try landing there
Yeah
You coming along?
Mm
(*sad sigh*)
Well I'm sad already
Man
Man not my OTPs and shit
So do you think he was really just dense, or plain not interested?
It's odd how such a simple wish of being happy could be so tangled up
He sure didn't make it easy on us by being ambiguous with the details
Here I got an idea
Received a permanent marker
Perfect
There now let's go get paid
You moron you can't just draw him a smile like that
Lips are red, not black
Great job, now he looks like an affectionate Joker
You almost burnt through all the memories, haven't we?
I guess. The vortex should be just up ahead
Good. Maybe that'll help us get to the source of what he wants, as if we don't know that already
Hmm? It's her obviously, there's a reason she keeps on showing up
The guy's clearly got his childhood sweetheart on his mind, and has been asking what-ifs
He wants her, but he's got principles, so he knows he can't have her
The perfect equation for a sad sad man who needs our help hacking the root of the problem
Are you suggesting to remove her?
Well if we do, you'd be the expert
But whatever happens we'd have to change something
And in the end she's the one we could alter the most, anyhow
Colin himself said we should try to avoid changing things involving his family, right?
And out of these memories, Faye's the only other consistency that we keep coming back to
I guess you're right, we could start with her and mark our way up from there
But something still doesn't add up
Hellooo~~~!
Yes?
C-c-could it be?
It's me, Roxie! I'm heree~~~
Oh
How's it going in there
Uhh... awesomely of course
How uh, how are you doing? Did you bring the paperwork?
Yep, I brought the paperwork all right
I also brought Rob!
What, I can't stand that guy
I can hear you
Hi Rob. Hey
Anyway you guys gonna come out real quick to get the paperwork done?
We're kind of on a roll here, maybe we should ask them to help us with the papers
Oh by the way Neil I was gonna ask
About the machine...I think I...
Uh hey I'm heading, get the forms ready for a filin'!
Wait what?
You know the protocols Eva... Colins our patient now and one of us has to check on the forms
Yeah, but we've let others help before and headquarters never cared
Maybe we should have cared Eva. Maybe we should have cared
When were you one for protocol?
Anyway, get the last memory link while I'm gone, will ya? I won't take long
And call me when you're ready to go to the next memory. I don't want to miss it
Hey uh...
Huh.
