Happy Birthday Call (SPOILERS) - Page 5

Vincent was my favorite character, so.... XD (That creepy little closet-sadist. )

Anyway, Vincent's voice actor was Clifford Rippel-- It was a long time ago, but I saw a listing where all the additional roles were listed as well. I'll try to find it. X_x But I'll throw in a plot analysis before I go~ ♥

When you first meet him, one can assume the "Don't forget it, Okay?" means nothing. But I figure that in a game such as this.... anything and everything ends up mattering. XD So perhaps his worry that Heather would forget was a reflection on his own little problem. Vincent obviously has a means by which he can travel around the dark reality of silent hill (And we assume he can see it as Heather does, since he doesn't want the entire world to become Hellish. XD) Before the amusement park, He tells Heather which route to travel, and specifically says that the others are blocked. How would he know that, unless he had seen it for himself? (And him causing the impasses is out of the question, since he wants Heather to kill Claudia at this point.) So we can say that he can go about his merry way in that world. Maybe that's why he likes it so much.

Now, onto his bizarre knowledge-- He knows that Leonard once killed a man, (Which isn't too surprising, since he seems to know a good deal of Claudia's past. ) and that's why he mentioned it. But how did he know about Stanley? Surely just having the ability to waltz around the hellish reality couldn't allow him to know that much. Well, lets take another deeper look-- When you first meet Vincent, He's in a psychologists office.


Ohhhhhhh snap.



This could mean a wide variety of things-- Ranging from whether or not he's insane or if it was just coincidence-- But what if, perhaps, aside from being a priest... he was also a psychologist, as well? He obviously knows how to manipulate the human mind, and he was able to bring popularity to the cult via his own social "charms." It would explain how he knew of Stanley's morbid obsession with Heather... and perhaps, it helped him to gain an interest in Alessa and her 'divine power' as well.


Also, The caller says this, correct?

Which do you prefer? To give pain or to receive it?

.... Didn't Vincent go off on Heather for secretly liking the fact that she was hurting "Monsters"?


And then, the humor.

Here's the start of the convo:

Unknown voice: Happy birthday to you. Happy birthday to you. Happy birthday dear... Oh, I forgot your name.
Heather: Who are you?
Unknown voice: Oh, okay, thanks. Happy birthday dear "Hooaryou". Happy birthday to you.

It just sounds like something he would say, doesn't it?
(Plus, his whole "joke" about 'Monsters? They look like monsters to you??'.... )

Stanley was morbidly obsessed with Heather-- He wouldn't forget her name, or speak against Leonard like that because, face it, the guy was obviously terrified of him. He probably would have shown his obsessive nature in the phone call, and act a bit more... clingy. (That's just my impression. XD) Leonard.... well, he suffered from delusions and schizophrenia. But not multiple personality disorder. It doesn't sync up with what we saw from him, and what we already know.

That leaves the options of "Vincent".... Or no one at all.

Granted, no one at all seems creepier-- But it lacks substance, and there are too many ties to events that have past and events to come for one to pass it off as 'just a creepy call' Vincent sent Heather to Leonard with the underlying belief that she would kill him. And what was her lovely present?

Ammunition.


Ta-da-da-daaaaaaaaa.

I've finally played through the game enough that I feel I've realized the little mysteries that the game throws to and fro. X_X I'm planning to touch up on the whole 'Monsters? They look like Monsters to you??" Deal as well, since I've somewhat realized the truth to those words. ._.;

quote Memory of Eileen

Still, its creepy how Vincent managed to call Heather in the hospital and acted like another stalker of hers.

*shrugs* It's Vincent.


Ufufufufufufufufufufu.......

I'm almost to this point in the game--



I'll try to see if I missed anything, or if there's anything else I can analyze. =D

Hi Lei, it's good to see you again. Congrats on becoming a moderator! You've come a long way from circus peanuts.

As for Vincent being the voice of the happy birthday call, it's a good theory, and you make a lot of sense with your points. I'm actually starting to think it might have been Vincent, also. But just to let you know, plenty of times voice actors play the parts of many different characters. So even though the guy who voiced Vincent may have also been the voice on the phone, that doesn't necessarily mean it was the same character.

I think Harry Shearer and Hank Azaria do the voices of about 8 Simpsons characters each, if I'm not mistaken.
