I liked this scene too. But regarding Quinn helping Maya, she obviously likes the MC (more obvious depending on the paths you take), but she clearly doesn't like Maya. Maya came to the HOTs looking for free tuition while at the same time she didn't even like the HOTs. Quinn just uses her for her own amusement with no intention of helping her, and then once she finds out the MC has some feelings for Maya (whether you as the player like it or not), she uses Maya to mess with the MC. Quinn messes with everyone, it's just her way (she's a cunt), just like she uses Josy to mess with Tommy and she and Tommy are friends. But no, I doubt very much Quinn would lift a finger to help Maya even if the MC asks (Quinn's a fucking drug dealer, she's far from altruistic).
I thought two types of hypothesis, about the list of Maya and Josy in the Hot's
1. Tommy Paid for Quinn to make the list the hardest, so Josy doesn't get in.
2. Derek or Maya's Father - I pay Quinn to make the list more difficult, so that Maya doesn't enter.
Wow Maya's father? Yes why not
But are there any indications about that? Not
More Dev may well create this situation.
About the issue of being a Stripper, it was one of the ways I think it can happen, even if it contradicts the moral principles and all those things.
Could she do this in an act of desperation? Yes
We will only know if this will happen in the future
Remember: Josy is counting on Father's Money, this she has already managed
Counting that enter the Hot's and this is indicating that it will not happen
Josy/Maya knowing that Quinn is making "Prostitute" Girls and selling "Drugs", he will never enter Hot's
Possibilities of being Stripper
My thoughts on these situations:
Between Stripper or Prostitute which path would be less difficult.
Lily is Stripper but she doesn't support Quinn in any of this.
Could Jill help Maya and Josy get a job? Perhaps
Maya is a parasite, did you notice that he never mentioned Working?
Josy is totally opposite of her, she already worked.
DIK are working now, starting to have responsibilities, force majeure of course.
MC has 5k can help Maya / Quinn, short term and after.
You know where Maya's biggest problem comes from, he doesn't have the willpower for anything this is her big problem these days
Maya plays this role, easy things, easy life, everything easy
This is the vision she gives in the game
Everything that is happening between Maya and Josy, is summed up in one thing.
She wants everything easy
I'm confusing you even more with these crazy ideas.
Sorry I use a translator, words don't always come out well
I think that neither Tommy, Derek nor Maya's father had anything to do with making it hard for the girls to get in to the HOTs. Quinn had it out for Maya from the beginning, gave her an "impossible" list because she enjoys messing with her, Josy came later and inherited Maya's list.
Yeah, Maya should get a job.
While i agree that she wants Maya to fail, the situation is Win-Win for Quinn.
If Maya fails like Quinn expects, she just rid herself from someone that she dislikes joining the HOTs, all is well and she gets to torture Maya humiliating her in front of everyone.
If, for some crazy miracle, Maya's desperation is stronger than her morals, and she actually passes? Well, Quinn now have a new toy for her clients, even better that it's something different from the overly sexual Camila and Riona. Some guys like the "girlfriend experience".
It was all a calculated risk from the start. But the situation blew up in both their faces.
Maya passed the tests because of MC, or because of cheating, but, because of the setbacks, Quinn can't use her in the restaurant anymore, so there's no "free" tuition for Maya. They both lost. It's kind of hilarious in a cruel way.
I don't think it was win-win, you can see Quinn is pissed when Maya actually passes, and in front of the entire HOTs she can't do anything about it - she's even stammering which is so not her.
But what surprised me is, even Quinn at first didn't wanted Josy, when Josy told her she was Tommy's sis, Josy became more a potential for Quinn to have some controle over DIK's and more over Tommy. But why put her then together with Maya, made no sense, because then she only just did what Tommy asked her, to make her fail. Sadly for Quinn plans didn't go as she wanted and both won the scavanger hunt and list.
Finding out Josy was Tommy's sister probably meant just a short term game for Quinn, she probably didn't want her in the HOTs permanently, just as a pledge so she could tease Tommy for a bit. From the interaction Quinn had with Josy in the girls' dorm, she sized her up immediately and decided she wasn't HOT material. Personally I think Josy is definitely HOT material, Maya isn't but Josy's an easy going, fun party girl. Not every HOT was a literal prostitute (although most of the girls we know are part of the restaurant, the narrative indicates not all girls are).
and precisely because they were already in the restaurant they had a very simple list, as far as we know the most difficult test was that of the underwear.
but even if Mona and Camilla had had the same list as Maya they would have had no problem passing it, without cheating.
they were still pledges, but practically certain to pass the test
it makes no sense that Quinn wanted a girl to fail entry into the HOTs that she later wanted to involve in her risky business.
None of the girls have a list like Maya & Josy's because Quinn deliberately made it both amusing for herself and "impossible" for the girls as she had no intention of them joining. Riona's comments to Quinn when Arieth says they passed shows she never intended for them to pass.
Quinn is not paying these kids tuitions out of pocket.
I thought the Mona situation painted very clearly what the "free"tuition was. You sleep with Burke he gives you a scholarship, you don't, well you don't get one.
Maya was never going to do that, FFS she demands her scholarship 30 seconds after joining the HOTs, pathetic, and we're for some reason suppose to feel sorry for her.
Only person it hurt was Maya, the entitlement is strong in her.
I never really liked her even from the first episode with her weird we just met but be 100% honest with me, while I lie constantly.
Funnily enough replaying the game on the chicky path actually put her even lower on my list.
Thanks for that clarification, never thought that sleeping Jade's husband/Stephen would get them free tution. I always thought it was them selling their bodies and selling drugs that kinda be that tution. But seeing it now, it feels even more wrong, so they get free tution from Stephen, but on top they have to sell drugs and their body to support Quinn... I wonder how that will go now that Stephen resign as school principal and counsilor.
I'm not sure if it's a one off with Burke to pay for tuition, Burke would have been the first of many, but I still believe Burke is the key to the scholarships/tuition. Without him in the loop it couldn't happen as no one else would be fraudulently accessing student records (none of the HOTs would have that kind of access). But yeah, no way is Quinn forking out 10s of thousands of dollars for each HOT who serves customers.
I never really got into the Maya disdain that permeates this board, the whole reason she joined the HOTs and went through all the scavenger sexual tasks was for the free tuition (to get her out from under the control of her unpleasant father), so after she's accepted into the HOTs and she mentions the free tuition to Mona (not initially to Quinn), Mona responses, "No. It's not gonna happen" and, "There's no such thing as
free tuition" anger her (and rightly so, she's been played) so she confronts Quinn. It's ultimately her own fault, you don't go through all that shit without getting clear clarification (the vague discussion in the swimming pool scene was definitely not clarification), but Quinn was fully aware that Maya had the wrong impression and she let it continue. Quinn is a first class cunt, no question about it (regardless of whether you want to fuck her), she played Maya from the start and Maya finally blew up at her. Quinn had it coming. Is Maya naive? Yes. Is Quinn a cunt? Yes. Do you want to fuck them both in a threesome? Yes.
