The [ parasite EVE ] Drinking Game

1 drink whenever:

• Someone pantomimes picking up a telephone receiver, but leaves the actual receiver in place (add another drink if they later "hang up")
• Aya or Daniel drives somewhere by always going in a straight line
• All the poison in Aya's bloodstream vanishes as soon as no monsters are in sight
• Maeda gives Aya a completely useless trinket (2 drinks if said trinket can't be placed in storage)
• A dying / wounded cop gives Aya an item
• A car is seen moving around in NYC after the city has been evacuated
• The player saves by calling the police station from inside the police station
• Daniel tries to solve a problem with violence
• A mutated wild animal drops medicine and/or clips of ammunition when killed
• Aya forgets that her sister is dead and talks to Maya's ghost
• A new day starts and Aya is wearing the same clothes as she did the previous day
• A sudden telephone call is used to introduce a new plot element
• Aya is unable to open a door or cabinet because she isn't facing it at the right angle (2 drinks if it takes an especially long time for the player to find the correct "hot spot" - use your best judgment as to how long)

2 drinks whenever:

• Klamp does something blatantly suspicious
• An assault weapon is found inside a box lying in the middle of a zoo, a hospital, or the American Museum of Natural History

• Bullets are removed from one category of gun and placed into another (i.e., from a shotgun to a grenade launcher, etc.)
• Aya accepts a horse-drawn carriage ride from her arch-nemesis

3 drinks whenever:

• Aya uses her omniscient knowledge of locks to determine that a key is no longer useful
• A nuclear bomb is detonated in New York without harming any of the city
• An NYPD beat cop speaks fluent Japanese
• A climactic battle occurs at the Statue of Liberty
• Aya starts running the wrong direction during a chase scene because the camera angle changed
• The NYPD acts with complete disregard to the media (i.e., Daniel punching out a reporter, Aya babbling during the press conference, etc.)
• Aya is carrying more than 4 guns and/or pieces of body armor at one time
• Manhattan is calmly evacuated with no protest from any citizens, no looting, and no regard as to where the evacuated citizens will go
