We also see Vinny sell to Tommy, wich was Quinn's turf. Wich she also already know from Tommy himself, wich if she also takes to Buddy they would both be at square one again. as for Lily, she became a student in B&R. wich makes it Quinn's turf, what Lily does with the drugs afterwards is her business, and doesn't make Quinn break the rules. Lily says she is buying drugs for herself, but a whole lot of it for herself to Quinn, the only part is that Lily lied to Vinny by saying that they wer all quitting.

The only downside on this all is that Vinny kidnapped the wrong person the make Quinn back off, if he kidnapped Lily or one of the strippers he would get more result. but that would open up a whole bag of comments from all da Lily lovers.
Well for the Tommy you're kind of right, but he is a sole customer who sought out Vinny due to his personal issues with Quinn, as for Lily she's not just buying for herself from Quinn but for all of the strippers, Lily says that it's for personal use, Quinn says that it seems like a whole lot of drugs for one person, and Quinn says to Lily that she doesn't want to know, but Lily points out that Quinn is already well aware of where her drugs are going to go, as such it's a greater violation than the one single case of Tommy.

Vinny went to B&R previously and is probably aware of the relationship between Riona and Quinn, as such it would be logical to assume that Riona would be more well informed than she actually is, which means that Rox's rules for Quinn might actually have been useful and may end up saving her place as Buddy's dealer.

I am 75/25 that rio is dead, and for people saying why the characters partying with Rio missing is that no one knows what happened to her. Remember she wasn't really close to anyone aside from Quinn and Camilla.

Now who can it be? If its Vinny, possibility of her dying is high cause he can kill to send a message.

Another possibility is Stephen (Remember his family is considered rich so he might have hired thugs), remember when Maya brought up the situation and she was in the HOTS, he immediately furrowed his eyebrows and deleted the application.
He probably kidnapped Riona to send Quinn a message to stop recruiting from the hots.

TLDR: Characters will not care if Riona went missing aside from Camilla and Quinn.
So none of the HOTs would care or notice if one of their own went messing? Cammy (Rio's roommate and friend) wouldn't raise the alarm? Sage who shown throughout the story to actually care about the sisters wouldn't notice or care? Tremolo wouldn't notice? (if you go on the date with her). Cammy is willing to fuck Tremolo in the corridor at school while her best friend is missing?

Why would Stephen want to off a student? Aside from bad optics if it ever came out, Riona was part of the restaurant, she didn't run it, you wouldn't kill someone from the restaurant when you can just expel or suspend the person who's running it.

My prediction is she'll show up fine, upset, probably a bit shook up, likely cut things off with Quinn, and she'll be out of the rest of the update recovering

Like I said before, the only one that would care at least the most is Camilla and Quinn. Sage while showing that she does is more concern about pressing problems and is willing to still delegate some issues to know "Okay riona has been kidnapped"

What does she say when Mona is not responding her texts? "I am going to call her" and then never gets brought up.

LIKE I SAID, they won't know yet where the hell is riona aside from quinn. And we don't know what quinn will do, either tell the HOTS she has been kidnapped cause of her? No she is too proud of that.

It may be like you say roughed up, or maybe murdered (DPC is not shy to implement death in games)

You guys still on this? Poor Rio, and not just because of her actual dilemma :(

Alright to change the subject to something lighter and hopefully a little fresh, personally I hope DPC continues to use music from The Commandeers! While royalty free, their old-world romance music is simply delightful :giggle: and Set Me Free is a vibe :D

Any artists you guys hope DPC will continue to use? Grace Mesa, for instance :cool:

I can't think of many things more pressing than someone's who's been a friend for a couple of years suddenly vanishing off the face off the earth. If I had a dissertation to focus on and my parents getting a divorce, i'd still focus on a friend going missing. It'd probably be the number one focus in my life.

What does she say when Mona is not responding her texts? "I am going to call her" and then never gets brought up.
Maybe they spoke, Mona told her she's fine, didn't like college, maybe she asked her dad who told her to back off, we're not privy to every conversation the characters have, maybe the plot went in a different direction, and that particular side character wasn't relevant to the story at the time. Maybe it'll get bought up in 11/12. We still have the loose thread of Tremolo's comments about Bella in the library
LIKE I SAID, they won't know yet where the hell is riona aside from quinn.
Which is more alarming. "Hey this person is coming out her shell, seems happier, went on a date, and now she's just vanished off the face of the earth".

You're acting like people going missing is a common thing. Life doesn't stop for sure, I don't even think parties would get cancelled, people need a distraction, but students would be worried sick, Quinn would have guilt eating her up, teachers would be wondering why a student who has never failed a class has just stopped turning up. It'd be flagged up incredibly quickly.

The reason Quinn confides to Lily is becouse Lily has dirt on her, that if it comes out would do her more harm.
That is untill Quinn finds dirt on Lily, she'll directly turn on her.

Even as Rio asks if she paid enough this time, seeing tommy told Rio that Quinn said she was smoking for free Quinn was already thinking on lies to turn things around to not look bad in Rio's eyes.
As for Rio's kidnapping, seeing Rio is already digging to far into Quinn she sees her as a disposable pawn, and is propably relieved. while doing nothing to search for her, not even giving into the demands of Vinny. the only problem that might pose for Quinn is if Rio comes back and tells everyone that she did nothing to help Rio, if Vinny is smart he'll propably let Rio hear his phone convo with Quinn, so that Rio knows where she stands.
And if someone else does find out about the kidnapping and does try to find Rio safe and sound and then tries to confront Quinn, she'll simply say, its none of your dmn business. That is if they can get past Vinny with a Gun.
The best solution to that is if we can get help from the Dik's, Hot's and our close friends. but we'll propably know who will be absent during the search, someone who will advice against the search, and someone who will pretend to search.

So to sum it up. well we all propably can guess the outcomes.
Yes. Quinn will definitely do whatever to cover her tracks. I guess I just see the slight evolution of Rio happening lately and that's what makes me think my theory has merit. But yours also does. I guess both theories are plausible and whatever the fall out is, it'll make sense to both of us.

Didn't you hear? The Commandeers died in a boiler explosion while touring a local harmonica factory in Toledo Ohio.
They're playing for Rio in heaven now :cry:

What if Arieth is actually smart and her acting retarded is all an act? What is she's the one behind the leaks and camera?
100%

Meanwhile the real BBEG is laughing her ass off and being completely free of suspicion.

Who's never around when they're doing HOTs things?

Quinn doesn't confide in Lily, Lily purchases drugs from Quinn, Quinn does not trust Lily. Nothing points towards Lily becoming Quinn's dealer or that she will become more involved with Quinn's operation. In the game it is show that when Quinn was a child her father told her to trust no one, which is why she constantly tries to keep everyone else from getting a full picture of her activities, and which is why she treats Riona as she does. She treats MC in a similar manner.

Quinn and Vinny are shown to be antagonistic towards each other, and since Quinn is breaking her agreement with Vinny and selling drugs to Lily and the strippers who were previously buying from Vinny they're actually in direct competition. And by all likelihood it was Vinny who had some guy go steal Quinn's money in an attempt to get her out of the way so that he could expand into the college market unopposed. Did you pay no attention while you were playing?

In the game you have Vinny talking to Buddy undermining his trust in Quinn, which he does when he asks how much Buddy trusts Quinn, and then asks why Buddy had Mick following Riona (in the blue van), and then Vinny and Mick kidnap Riona. By all likelihood the agreement to divide the market whereby the strippers were part of Vinny's share and the college was Quinn's share, was imposed by Buddy who is the supplier to both of them (it makes sense that you don't want your subordinates fighting each other over the same customers). Therefore the kidnapping of Riona is to extract information from her because Vinny wants to prove to Buddy that Quinn has broken the agreed upon partition of the market, and as such have Quinn removed as competition and expand his own share of the market.

It is even pointed out by Buddy to Quinn that Vinny is making more profits than Quinn and that if Quinn "knew how he operates" she wouldn't have money problems.
Okay. Maybe not confide in Lily, but everything is absolutely pointing to Lily being the go to person for Quinn and replacing Rio as her new pawn. The only thing is, Lily is a little too smart for that so it's gonna take a lot more. But it became obviously in Ep 9 that Rio is being left out. See her conversation with Camila after seeing Quinn and Lily together and all other interactions with Quinn following that moment. And as for Lily, she bailed Quinn out at the party. She ensured her she has her back. Quinn asked Tommy about trusting Lily. And then Quinn and Lily were pretty much inseparable at the BBQ. Everything is pointing in that direction. How you don't see it means I probably pay more attention than you do.

As for Buddy. If there's any realism to this and DPC is trying to give that feel to the story, then Buddy only cares where his money is coming from. He doesn't care if Vinny and Quinn have an equal share of the market. If Quinn is pushing more product, Buddy will be happier. So any dialogue with Buddy and anyone, only has one goal in mind. Where's his money coming from? So you can't read too much into what he said to Vinny. He doesn't care. He cares about his money. It's Vinny's problem that he's not carrying his own weight. So I doubt Buddy had anything to do with Rio's kidnapping. And if DPC runs with that in the story, he clearly has no clue either.

That, or something happening to MC's dad at work. Remember this at the very beginning of the game when MC narrated this? (Emphasis mine)
I will fucking cut a bitch if anything happens to Neil.

He's a single dad doing his best raising a kid.

I dont need real life creeping into this story all that much.

Real life is full of these BS where single parents are downtrodden and suffer one blow after another as society watches and tut tuts because "only real christian heterosexual couples count as family, yo!"

Fuck that.

So I doubt Buddy had anything to do with Rio's kidnapping. And if DPC runs with that in the story, he clearly has no clue either.
Quinn asks Tommy about trusting Lily since Lily came into knowledge about the prostitution ring, and while yes it is fully possible that Lily might become Quinn's partner in the future, such remains to be seen, and Quinn is still not including Lily in her business by episode 10, if Quinn does so in the future, we'll see. Lily herself said that it must be frustrating for Quinn not having anything on her, but Lily being aware of the prostitution ring and drug dealing means that she does have something on Quinn, it would be a good idea for Quinn to try and find leverage on Lily.

And for realism in drug dealing, Buddy being a supplier doesn't want his subordinates wasting their time fighting each other, as they're supposed to be bringing him money, not competing with each other for the same clients. When did I ever even mention an "equal share" of any market? The market is divided between his dealers, how equal it is, is irrelevant. Buddy has his dealers divided into particular market shares so that they don't compete with each other, the size of said market share is not elaborated on, besides noting that they exist. Seems like a fairly basic concept. Like just basic simple organization. Do I really have to explain this shit? They literally talk about who's territory they're on when they're talking at the party, and Lily and the other strippers were on Vinny's turf, B&R is Quinn's turf, it's literally stated in the game.

And it's not a question that Buddy is involved with Rio's kidnapping, you literally see Mick (who is Buddy's muscle) helping Vinny kidnap her, they use Mick's blue van that Mick was using to stalk Rio.

Most likely to get proof that Quinn is breaking the deal. The funny thing is that she isn't technically breaking it. Lily is a student now, and can buy from Quinn instead of Vinny.
Thanks for the reminder, I forgot to mention than on my reply about Lily buying to Quinn.
