I actually have reproduced the things I lost this morning, so that's a bit less trouble going into it when I'm at home. I also, just for the joy of the game, sort of played the next few days (unsaved) for the lulz, and found them full of stuff for me to write about.
Also, that last question for Elli, on reflection, allowed me to reconcile Mineral Town "Nurse" Elli from the Elli in 64. I still think the 64 versions of everyone is better... But the two become closer to different interpretations of the same thing.
