>LAST TIME ON DROWNED QUEST REDUXPost-Headspace escapade, Gil has a panic attack. You awkwardly attempt to help him through it, culminating in a semi-offer of a hug... which he refuses, claiming that he doesn't know you well enough. To fix this obvious problem, you declare that you'll sit him down and tell him everything about your life later in the evening, after you've gotten drunk enough to talk about yourself.
You then ditch Gil in the archives and go to deliver Possibly Madrigal a newspaper. You run into Horse Face and subsequently use your LATENT MAGYCKAL ABILITIES to commune with his very heart, which manages to surprise him enough to help you get an audience with Possibly Madrigal. Lucky takes the newspaper and lets you talk to Possibly Madrigal, to little effect... until you commune with her, too, and conclude that she's actually Guppy the Namway security guard. Guppy gives you a possible lead to Pat's whereabouts, but refuses to help further until you break her out of detention-- which, one conversation with Lucky later, you do. She'll be out tomorrow.
You head back to Gil, who seems mopey, and let him out of Madrigal's body. You then talk to Fake Ellery about Headspace: he is not particularly forthcoming, so you turn Richard into a person so he'll help you out. Richard knocks Ellery out and attempts to break into his mind with little success. You resolve to talk to Gil about it.
In the few hours left before drinks, you complete your model.
