### Introduction of Charles Schneider and Glower Boulevard

This boulevard makes up a large chunk of the plot and mainly centers around dentist Charles Schneider.

At first, the game starts off rather innocently, leading us to believe that Charles is only interested in experimentation with time travel and wormholes located somewhere in or near his dental clinic on Glower Boulevard. After he muses that the stars will soon align accordingly, we now realize that something more sinister is going on.

### A link between Ni-Ko Bim-Zawang and Charles Schneider

After a complete play-through and analysis of the game, one can immediately make a link between Charles and death spirit Ni-Ko Bim-Zawang, as they do both mention the alignment of the stars. This would almost make it appear that they are working together to allow the death spirit to rise once again.

### The Victims (either accidental or purposeful)

During many of Charles' experiments, others accidentally get involved either through Charles' intent to make sure his experiment is a success or accidentally because it was still a work in progress at the time.

In order of game appearance, the victims are as follows:

* >  A group of ornithologists leaves the beach in haste, after hearing strange rumors of dodo sightings on Glower Boulevard.
>
>

	+ Accidental and most likely the result of a failed experiment due to a large group getting involved and never contacting Charles.
* >  Federal Investigator Ben Womack is on his way to check on some strange activity involving blinking lights and loud noises on Glower Boulevard.
>
>

	+ As Ben's hobby is to investigate any activity regarding time and space, with or without his supervisor's approval, it seems only fair that he would investigate this too. In this case, he is simply following the ornithologists to a point of interest.Where are you going, Ben Womack?
* >  A Cro-Magnon and a fair maiden take a taxi from Glower Boulevard for a swim at the water park.
>
>

	+ This is most likely the result of one of the many successful experiments as it would appear that time travel between eras is now possible.
* >  Lord Ridley just had his mustache waxed on Glower Boulevard, but now finds himself very confused in the night. What on earth are these ghastly square buildings and peculiar-looking automobiles! he cries.
>
>

	+ Another successful experiment where past meets future.
* >  Ms. Donnahue has no idea where she's going. Wasn't she just on Glower Boulevard, when that strange light appeared? This road doesn't look familiar.
>
>

	+ Past meets future yet again. But this time, it's our present meeting the distant future. Poor Ms. Donnahue, all she was trying to do was get home to her apartment.
* >  The last thing Julia remembers before ending up here, was getting a tattoo of a shark on her belly. Things are all fuzzy since she went to get dental jewelry.
>
>

	+ Now Julia finds herself among the distant future with Ms. Donnahue. It would seem that Charles is really getting the hang of things down at the clinic.
	+ Mrs. More hates all these cars, considering that there are already two there, Mrs. Stewart, (who still drives), and Dr. Brown (who time-travelled himself in a Delorean sports car.)
* >  Death spirit Ni-Ko Bim-Zawang is driving around town, looking for human souls to feed on.
>
>
* >  Dentist Charles Schneider recently finished a very successful project. He closes his eyes, smiles, and drives towards the sunset as he counts the nanoseconds between now and eternity.
>

Where am I?Same, Ms. Donnahue. Where are we both?How did we both get here?Mrs. Stewart, you still drive that sports car? Where did you all come from, you barbaric car-drivers?Too many cars here! Get out!Phew! After all that rage from Mrs. More, we can now safely drive without being chased or crashing her to bits!You AGAIN, Mrs. Griffin?Don't crash me, Ni-Ko Bim-Zawang!That's what you're getting for getting us all lost!You came from that portal over there, Mr. Shepard?You time-travelled here in that DeLorean?You're the one that brought all these cars here!I will eat you if you keep hating our cars!Get away from me, ugly death spirit!You AS WELL, Julia? Another sedan car?I can time travel and crash you! Never underestimate the power of cars!I can drive. Just because you hate cars doesn't mean that they should all be gone!
### Ni-Ko Bim-Zawang's involvement

On the other side of the coin, we find Mrs. Griffin having a bit of fun at the local amusement park by partaking in a simple claw machine game. After winning a mysterious mask from the machine, she promptly puts it on and "has a strange sensation; as if a thousand years of knowledge, primitive instincts and dark magic is flowing through her body. Or something."

What is this...?
Later that night, newly possessed Mrs. Griffin can be heard mentioning, "When the stars align and past meets future, death spirit Ni-Ko Bim-Zawang shall rise again." Very possibly at the exact same time Charles examines the night sky for himself.

Still somewhat lucid, Mrs. Griffin fights for control over her own body and attempts to make her way to the harbor to get rid of it. Unfortunately, Ni-Ko Bim-Zawang's will power is stronger, having been around for a thousand years or so and swiftly takes back control to steer towards Glower Boulevard and complete the plan.

What's happening to you? I hope you'll be safe, Mrs. Griffin!Mrs. Griffin, I've seen that same car in the future!Help! Ms. Donnahue? Someone stop this!What's going on, Mrs. Griffin? Why are you about to crash into my apartments?Stop! I can't drive!
Much later, Ni-Ko Bim-Zawang can be seen having taken complete control over Mrs. Griffin and is looking to devour more human souls. (She is also driving that same car!)

You hate cars, so I'll eat you, Mrs. More!Get away from me, you ugly death spirit!Don't eat me, Ni-Ko! I know you from the harbor as Mrs. Griffin!No, Ni-Ko! Don't crash me!Me too!You're still driving that really old car?Who are you? This is the future, and you're driving that old car?Do I remember you? You've grown into a complete death spirit!
### Conclusion

While it's never outright mentioned that Ni-Ko Bim-Zawang and Charles Schneider are working together, the fact that both seem to rely on stars aligning and past meeting future strongly implies that one is aware of the other, even if they never meet in person.

Thanks for opening the portal, Charles Schneider! I really like eating human souls here.
