Summary
Eddie's just woken up with the worst hangover of his life, with no idea where he is or how he got there. He can't remember anything about the party last night, but his headache and general inability to walk a straight line are telling him that he went way too hard.
All he wants to do is leave. All he wants is to go home and get some sleep. But to do that, he needs to know what happened. Now, if only people would stop ignoring him.

Summary
It's been two months since Eddie was released from the infirmary following his surprise transformation into a demon, and hiding from the world in the safety of his bedroom isn't a sustainable long term strategy. Eventually he'll have to get back out into the world to interact with the public, which means he'll need to figure out a way to do that without showing off his new demonic features.
Deciding to start out slow with just a simple trip to the grocery store, reintroducing Eddie to the outside world doesn't go quite as smoothly as Guybrush hoped.

Summary
Manny needs a partner.
Whether he actually wants one is up for debate, but Psychonauts policy states that he has to have a partner if he wants to go out in the field. Thus far, attempts have been... unsuccessful, to say the least, but Sasha and Milla claim to have found an excellent candidate. Manny isn't so sure.
To date, he still hasn't found anyone capable of getting over his bony exterior - why should this guy be any different?

Summary
There’s a small chance that people can spontaneously grow wings if they perform an act that’ll lead them to their destiny. You’ll see pairs on the painters down by the park, on the construction worker checking plans, on the kid who just bought his first skateboard. You’d expect people like the Police Chief and the High Judge to have them, and for the most part you’ll be right. If you looked closer, there’ll be pairs under the jackets of corrupt politicians, on conmen and criminals alike.
Ryan’s seen most of the flying spectrum that Los Santos has to offer. After all, he used to be part of it.
