Reggie Scott

**Reginald "Reggie" Scott** is the manager of KFAM 189.16 - The Scream.

## History

Reggie runs the KFAM Radio station in Gallows Creek. His employees include Peggy Weaver (producer), Forrest Nash (show host), Barbara Albright (receptionist), Bradley Carter (food critic), John Hedges (newsreader), Karen Lawson (senior producer), the Timberline Twins (motor show hosts), Hamish (show host), Jeanie McPhearson (intern) and Clive Elforth (janitor). There used to be another employee named Wes who left a few months prior, leaving Karen and the Timberline Twins to work on Hamish's show. Reggie has a son, Reggie Jr., whose birthday is October 9th, though in 1986, he mistakenly thought it was September 10th.

In his free time and on the job, Reggie is an amateur horror screenwriter. He has written a pitch for a slasher horror called *Deep Cuts*, about a typical final girl, a lactose-intolerant college student named Megan (surname to follow) being targeted by a "pizza delivery killer", who has a signature weapon, a pizza cutter, and a catchphrase ("Free slice on me!"). Besides that, he only has some basic ideas and plot devices, like the date July 7th being important due to a vital goose migration, outlined and has yet to write a cohesive storyline, the pitch being mostly based on the popular *Axe* movies, though he does consider partnering with Brian Ponty of Ponty's Pizza for a marketing campaign. Reggie also mentions movie script he wrote about an alien egg due to hatch on February 30th, to explain why it isn't on the calendar, though Barbara apparently laughed at him for it. He secretly hopes to write a potential next installment to the *Axe* horror franchise, which he titled "*Axe 4 Ever*" which would bring back the original protagonist and killer.

Reggie is shown to be something of an UFO fanatic. There is a VHS cassette in his office with the label "ALIEN SIGHTING No75 UFO OVER PARK 12:45 a.m. 18/10/85 Clear Sky, Humid". There is another sticker under the label, ironically incompletely reading "DO NOT (TAPE OVER)", also found on the spine in the same handwriting, which shows that he recorded over some other private recordings, including the wedding of Evan and Louise from '84, a New Year's video and another video with a title starting with "Abigail". Peggy briefly mentions UFO conspiracies during Maurice Russell's segment, brining up Reggie as someone who would have great interest in his news office's secret archive. Reggie is quick to latch onto new trends, fully digitalizing the employee records on floppy disks and refers to the triumvirate formed between Peggy, Karen, and Barbara as "girl power!".

On July 28, 1986, at 21:17, Reggie bought take-out from Chalupacabra's and kept the receipt in his office. On August 18th, 1987, Reggie, along with Barbara, Brad and John, attended a first aid through St. Gabriel's Hospital under Dr. Keith Walker. He was the only to stay through the whole course, as Barbara left when Brad made a "mouth-to-mouth" joke at her expense and John refused to talk with the trainer, since he already had training from his military service. Peggy and Karen had skipped out entirely on a "producer getaway", which Reggie eventually noted were conveniently timed for events like Secret Santa and Teddy Gallows Jr.'s campaign visits. When Forrest took up work for KFAM in late August, Reggie was very excited over having a radio host of his calibre at his station, though he did note that they were his only option after he was blacklisted from any "reputable" channels and couldn't be bothered to learn the names of most of his colleagues, aptly describing him as doing a "lone wolf thing".

Reggie is not seen during the events of the game on September 3rd, 1987, but is frequently mentioned by Peggy, whom he tasked with giving "pre-flight checks" to Forrest at the start of every session.

At around 1:04, after Maurice Russell's call is resolved, Peggy tells Forrest to grab and play a tape she slid under the door. When she is asked about it, she states that it was buried in her papers and that it seems to be signed by Reggie, who wrote "PLAY ME OFF AIR" on it in purple. As it turns out, Reggie's voicemail had received a call from agent Gina Franklin a few days ago, demanding that the exclusive vinyl her client Roddy Snatcher sent be played on their station or else she would file a lawsuit for "breach of contract". In order to avoid pissing off Gina and incurring Reggie's wrath by extent, Forrest looks for the disc and puts it on to save the station from future complaints.

Late in the game, Forrest is given the keys to his office to search the personnel files for employees with medical training to help Jason Parker. It is thanks to Reggie's rampant use of post-its that they are able to unlock the safe. Predictably, rather than his son's birthday, Reggie used the date from his incomplete movie pitch as the passcode.

## Trivia

* As mentioned by Peggy, Reggie is a "serial note taker", using sticky notes to give updates to his workers, to the point where he has developed a color system, for example black being neutral and purple being his "angry color". He also wrote a message directed at Clive, angrily noting that he know about him taking his sticky notes, which he in-turn used for his secret project corkboard in the basement.
* The "I Want To Believe" UFO poster in Reggie's office is a reference to *The X-Files*.
* Strangely, his personell files do not include Clive, Hamish, the Timberline Twins, or Jeanie.
