One good thing about a day spent wallowing in my depression is that I tend to make some Bag of Games progress when they happen. Today I played the game Night Call, a conversation-based detective game and taxi driver simulator. I really enjoyed it! Well, part of it.
The taxi driving was actually really fun - I was running out of money by the end and probably would have failed if it'd gone on much longer, but I didn't mind the simulation aspects that much. And the best part was the passengers. Fascinating, beautifully written little stories of people with someplace to go late at night, some sad, some hopeful, some weirdly supernatural. I enjoyed reading these immensely! I think this game has an endless mode that's just taxi driving, and honestly I think that's the ideal way to play the game.
Because I just did not understand the detective mechanics. I was pretty confident in the suspect I wanted to accuse, but then the game told me that I'd done it wrong and I lost. It wasn't clear to me if I had the wrong person, or if I hadn't found enough evidence, or what, and I don't know what I could have possibly done differently. I could give it another try, I suppose, but what could I change?

Crystal clear
Original song by me
"Hmm... 3 a.m." Connie groaned, hearing her phone ring." Hello.."
"Con-Connie," Steven spoke. His tone was weak, vulnerable almost as if he has been crying.
"Steven." Concerned in her voice, fully alerted," Biscuit..are you ok?"
"I..." he paused guilt in his voice.."It's nothing..just.. a nightmare..episode..." he spoke trying to hide his feelings," Sorry..you need your-"
"Steven.." Connie began.." Biscuit..talk to me... Please..."
Steven paused taking a deep breath.
[Steven]
When I first began this tour
I thought it would open up doors,
Provide me with a chance
To act human more,
But you know
Being Steven Universe Is a curse,
If things seem better
means it is about to get worse,
GEEZ!
I thought
this trip would help me ease the trauma,
Clear My mind and heart of damage
From years of human failure and gem drama.
And despite all the new sites,
The multiple city lights
With all the experience and new skies,
that suppose to help me bloom
I'm in this room,
calling you,
Plague by my nightmares
Hoping you,
Can see me through
And I'm sorry, Berry that I'm not being fair.
[1st chorus Steven ]
..I'm so sorry
My dear
I wish my mind was crystal clear
And so gone of fear.
[True chorus:Connie]
Never fear.
my dear
Your days will remain Crystal clear
As long as I'm here.
[Verse 2: Connie]
Biscuit, you don't need to regret,
Calling me, When your heart feels unrest,
We knew this journey would be a test.
And sometimes things will become a mess.
It's an unfortunate truth but in this life
We always have times of trouble and strife
Especially when you're trying to find
the answer to the question of, "Who am I?"
But Steven, don't lose hope,
Don't let your fears make you mope,
Since you've been on the road
I'm amazed by how you have grown,
You've faced so much already
and you're still standing steady,
So on the remember when things feel especially dark
Call me and I'll remind you just how much you are an awe-inspiring star you are.
[True chorus:Connie]
So Never fear.
my dear.
Your days will remain Crystal clear
As long as I'm here.
[True chorus:Connie and Steven]
So Never fear.
my dear.
Your days will remain Crystal clear
As long as I'm here.
Connie smiled hearing him chuckle a bit, " feeling a bit better, Bisky."
"Yeah...Thank you." Steven's admiration shown through his voice, "I would be lost without you."
"I doubt that." Connie's voice was one of pride, "Your more capable than you think...Finding yourself out there, forging your own path. I'm so proud of how far you've come...and happy that I can be a part of your life."
"Even the bad and worse times?" he asked a bit of hesitation in his voice
"Especially during those times." Connie declared," that when we need someone the most and it's a great source of pride that can be that someone for you Steven Universe."
"shit.." Steven swore wiping his eyes, his tone more joyous," I love you, so much...The best thing that ever happened to me, was you."
"Steven. " Connie sniffed," I feel the same... I'm happy to have you...To be with you. And always will. No matter what may come."
"No matter the trials and tribulations."
"We'll never have to fear," she sang gently.
"our days will remain Crystal clear."** he joined, continuing.
"Causes we'll always be there." they harmonized together before giggling between them.
The two of them spent the rest of the night talking and laughing, basking in the warmth of their love for each other. They knew that no matter what the future held, as long as they had each other, everything would be okay.
