I feel like those pins in Vanilla's ears are meant to represent hairpins, but those are ears, not hair. Those read more to me as piercings.

Tbh I'm underwhelmed by this one. I wish they would've done more with the Vectorman name reference. And character pairing.

Vanilla needs to make another appearance, maybe running a skill shop with Chocola.

With three kids Cream, Cheese and Chocola. Maybe Gemerl has a job.

I wouldn't really consider Cheese and Chocola "kids". They're more equivalent to pets, which are much lower 'maintenance' than children.

Regarding how Vanilla makes a living, I recall asking that question to Ian Flynn years ago and he personally speculated (that is, not official info at all) that Vanilla is a "Chao Rancher", which I thought makes perfect sense. Though with how one of the Twitter Takeovers had the whole cast commend Vanilla's cooking, perhaps her official job is that of a chef lol

Chao are more like a Pokemon than a pet, given just how much they're capable of, and how they can be pretty self-sufficient. Some even have jobs, like in SA 2 or Murder.

It's funny, Even not dividing into specific animal species, there's a lot of sentient life in this world:

  • "Mobians" (for lack of a better word)
  • Humans
  • Independent Robots and AI
  • Badniks
  • Small animals (Flickies and the like)
  • Chao
  • Ancients/Koco
  • Wisps
  • Zeti

Granted, one could argue not all small animals or Badniks have shown the same level of sentience, and the line of just how influence animals have on the Badniks they power is an interesting one. Is the badnik's personality an emergent gestalt of the badnik's base, and the specific animal and experiences it has?

Some Badniks like the Motobud, and the Roller Badnik Smokey found are good with out anyone doing anything to change then.

... does that mean Chao produce some kind of profitable byproduct? Or...

Do people eat Chao?

Maybe she's a trainer like a show dog trainer or horse trainer, but for chao. People pay big for that, I think.

I was actually thinking she'd be a non-trash version of Clutch. Like he was her teacher who turned evil.

Maybe Clutch hires Nack to capture the Chao for him.

Kaotic, you beautiful person, now I officially welcome that as my headcanon. She is a Chao caretaker who is also a great chef.

Finally finished Murder Mystery. It was actually fairly enjoyable and charming. I got nitpicks, but that's all they are, nitpicks. Fun experience overall.

On the topic of the game: The train conductor said he was working for 32 years. How old is the train? When did Eggman build/refit it? What's the lifespan of a Flicky?

Eggman didn't build the train...considering what he said, it would've been literally any time after Sonic 1.

Seems a lot of people got confused on that.

Even if he didn't build the train, Eggman had to have modified it at some point, and the train said the conductor promised him they'd be together forever, to which the conductor said that he was a "young man" when he made that promise.

Also: "Let's Go Dad."

I guess that the train was sapient the whole time and that Eggman's recent modifications weren't responsible for that. I'm assuming that the arms are new, because otherwise I'm not sure what the Flicky was supposed to be powering, since the train was sapient before the modification, meaning the Flicky clearly wasn't needed for that bit.

There's always the possibility that the train was only relatively recently made sapient by Eggman's modifications, but it can remember from back before it was modified.
