Chris' Hotel Room Details
Alternative title for this post is "Highball66 cornplates so hard & reaches levels of insanity that were previously unknown to the human race," but with the power of "computa, show me this man's depression den" and the zoom, enhance, brighten, and 4K features of editing, I've found some interesting little details in the shot we get of his hotel.
Doing this kinda rapid fire but I'm working from the background forward: There's a plant in the window in the kitchenette that Chris somehow hasn't killed-- I don't think it is a green herb but it kinda looks like one, so probably a little game reference there. Takeout container and a beer on the table in the background, again it reminds me of Jill's apartment from 3R with all the beer bottles and pizza and stuff laying around. Chris' signature dark green is back, and he's got a green shirt thrown over the back of the couch. There's a mug and what appears to be a bottle of some medication on the side table beside the couch. It also looks like he's got some device buried on the couch under that binder and the pillow-- hard to make out what it is but it looks like it's plastic so maybe a small laptop or one of those portable DVD players but its hard to tell since we don't really know how big it is, I'm leaning more toward DVD player though since it seems a bit too slim to be a 90s laptop.
He's also got pillows and a blanket tossed on the couch so it looks like he's pretty glued to the couch and falls asleep there. On top of some other papers and clothing, he's also got pretty decent size dumbbells beside the side table so it looks like he's working out too. On the coffee table, he's got a lot of things strewn about. There's a walkie takie and a recording device so it looks like he's not only communicating with someone (I'm thinking probably Jill) but also recording others. I have a theory he may be going undercover as a journalist based on the other items on the table. He's got a camera and some photos laid out too, so it looks like he's taking pictures of things/people and surveilling them. There's a wide variety of papers strewn about too that I'm assuming are Umbrella papers he stole/got a hold of.
As Claire moves, we get a little bit more of the side view. Back to my 'Chris may be undercover as a journalist' crack theory, he's got an ID badge laid out beside the camera, which I think may be his fake journalist badge. His brown boots are also carelessly tossed beside the table, and you can see a belt and a hat in the background too so we kinda got a good idea of what Chris' incognito/on the run outfit looks like and apparently he starts stripping as he walks though the door lmfao.
Beside the backpack and on top the papers, we can see a pill bottle-- looks like something over the counter so I'm going to assume this is something like aspirin or acetaminophen or something. His cigarettes and a lighter are laid out on the table too beside not one but two different kind of pills-- white tablets that come out of the push pack and what appears to be brown-yellow colored capsule pills too. There isn't enough detail to figure out what this are, but I'm assuming they're maybe some kind of sleep pill to knock him out, caffeine pills to keep him up-- something like that given the vibe of his space here. And lastly, the candy is Delicies de Marquis which translate to "Delights of the Marquis" (Marquis is a title for nobles) and maybe I'm cornplating a little too hard with this one but I think it may be a sorta tongue-in-cheek reference to the Ashfords since Alfred was a nobleman, though he was an Earl in the original and not to get too into the European peerage system, but I do find it interesting lol.
