The look that says " I will Lorena Bobbitt your ass, MC and Bella, I will slit your throat while you sleep!"

 

[J.A.L.]

On the Bella-only route, I can understand Jill's initial reaction of surprise, but I'm wondering why she still avoids Bella. I have my thoughts on this, some of which include her being upset that Bella is cheating on her husband,

And, yet, Bella cheated on her husband... with Jill. That's probably the cause he left Isabella. Isabella says that in the library "... married women don´t fool around with friends..." and "please, return, forgive me..." and then we know that friend was Jill... At first I thought that Bella having some kind of affair with Jill was just a narrative resource to make Jill leave Isabella´s bed and have a scene with Tremolo at the couch. But after the flashback of Isabella and her husband at the beginning of the last update, I think that the husband was frustrated due Isabella´s coldness with her. Then, for some reason, one day Isabella and Jill were "fooling around", the husband caught them, got angry seeing that Isabella was giving Jill something that wasn´t giving to her own husband, and left.

Oh yeah, bad intentions indeed. The conversation between her and Bella I'm sure wasn't either one of their best days. Two girls, two best friends even, battling over one guy....

...probably not going to end well

That sounds definitely possible.

I'm still going through my routes for Ep. 8. It's been a slow process, hindered by life. But, there's another aspect of the episode I would like to share. Apologies if this has been pointed out already, but you all know the difficulties keeping up with this thread.

I broke my own rule on this episode, and did not start with my dedicated Bella route, in which I not only actively avoid relations with everyone else, but I make decisions that discourage them. Instead, I played my main route first, in which I stick mostly to decisions I personally might make, but slanted a bit towards decisions I think would give me the most LI options. As you might guess, my main route is firmly Neutral.

When it came time to choose a love interest, I had the selection of all four major routes. I always knew the decision was coming, because that's what Crossroads always meant to me - sealing a single relationship on a single path. Naturally, I chose Bella, because she's the reason I started playing this game in the first place. Because this was my first playthrough and the episode was fresh, I was the most emotionally invested as I was going to get.

So when Jill spotted a naked Bella and MC through the window, her reaction was like a gut punch. I felt horrible for her, and I felt like an asshole. When I finally played through on my Bella route, I knew what to expect. Nevertheless, Jill's reaction did not have nearly the impact it did before.

So, I went back to my Neutral route, and that's when I discovered Jill's reaction is different.

Here is how she reacts on my Neutral path, where I pursued both Bella and Jill, right up to the time I was forced to make a choice:

Here is how she reacts on my Bella path, where I actively avoided her, and even tried to discourage her:

View attachment 1534309

She is obviously hurt on the a path where you were pursuing them both, but in the second snapshot she seems surprised instead.


Not only that, but her emotional state is different when Bella tries to visit her later. Again, here she is from the path for both her and Bella.

Here she is from the Bella-only path:

View attachment 1534311

She seems more contemplative in the second one, but clearly pissed in the first.


I always figured Jill would be devastated on a route where the MC pursued them both and she found out about Bella, regardless of who eventually won. On the Bella-only route, I can understand Jill's initial reaction of surprise, but I'm wondering why she still avoids Bella. I have my thoughts on this, some of which include her being upset that Bella is cheating on her husband, or that perhaps she thinks the MC would have given her more of a chance if not for Bella, but I expect all will be revealed in Episode 9.

Well, even if I caught two people I know having sex I would tend to leave, add the surprise, add that no matter how much everyone pretends nothing, Bella is married....

I would say that Jill's reaction is justified, one of the most justified seen in the game.

I'm not expecting Lynette's diary to end in a bombshell; it'll probably result in the mc finding out she had a trust fund put aside for him with a little bit more than the pitiful 5K...

Sure, some more people will tie in with the Royces, but just like finding out Jill was a Royce in the first place, it's not all that important.

Lana's already dead, so unless Tybalt's gonna dig her up and start fucking her corpse as a surrogate Jill, her death isn't critical. I'm guessing she died of a drug overdose and Buddy, or more likely Ash, was involved, and this will bring Jill's arc into the rest of the game.

What more can come of Chad's plight? The mc found out the truth, he was shocked (the readers weren't), he told Sage, she confronted Chad, he wasn't ready to tell her, and she handled it extremely well; didn't force him out of the closet, and gave him space.

Will there be more to the Cheating Chad story? Why does there need to be? Sage enlisted the mc's help to prove Chad was cheating. The scope of the mission crept to include finding the side bitch. The mc delivered on all accounts. The arc is closed.

Chad and the mc have also buried the hatchet for past transgressions. Chad is happy. Sage has closure. What more can happen with this? The jocks find out and the mc stands by Chad? It's nothing momentous.

With Bella there is surely some dark trauma, but whatever it was, it already happened. When the mc finds out he will be there for her, and so will Jill, dialling the abortion grief hotline against Bella's wishes, but that's Jill for you.

All the drama you've listed are just complications. These serve to provide some conflict but it's all mostly fluff to propel the game along. There is no major story arc, there is no end game, there is just the mc, his cock, his bitches, his friends and college, with a few potholes along the way. No zombies, no end of world crisis, no evil cult. It's just a very well presented bit of fun.

Chad's story is not over simply because it did not exhaust itself, Sage must have his apologies one way or another

you are too worried about defending BADIK so you always assume that if something hasn't happened yet it's ok, it's perfect and it will never happen again.

the same thing happened with Mona: how was it possible that Sage was working so hard for Maya and instead she didn't do anything for her stepdaughter? and in fact now we know that she's trying to contact Mona too, maybe she won't make it (I think Mona will be fundamental in cornering Burke) but it wasn't possible that she didn't try...

BADIK is still in the middle, there's all the time in the world for everything to still happen

Does anyone have a Zoey signature to borrow?

Alexa, enable holographic inteface and start recording. The stardate is 2078.10.31. Elon Musk has celebrated his his fith year as the first human to become an AI, and the corporate cities of Mars have decided to create a new holiday in rememberence. In other news: Star Citizen's release has been postponed to next year and Sage still rates the MC no higher than 4/5.

Do you remember the image of Bella with the hedge trimming scissors? I think there will be a theft in the backyard storage room....

its a possibility but i kinda doubt it
jill is too naive and sexual closed to be "fooling around" especially with a woman and a very good friend
when bella says that line "a married women don´t fool around with friends..." i thought about jade and his husband
but having a better thought i dont think is them either, could be just another friend or cathy or someone that we dont even know

 

[hakuna-matata]

She's going to use that axe in Bella's garage.

They do talk about it though in the scene when they're both in bed together before she makes her way to the couch, so obviously something between the two happened, even if it was just a kiss between them. Cathy could be a possibility though, or like you said, any of Bella's other friends too. I personally want to know what happened between Jill and Bella. The curiosity was always strong with that.

Still generally agree.

Believe me, you and I are hoping for the same thing. I just don't see a way for it it happen given how things have unfolded.

To extend the original metaphor, it would be akin to the jeweler forcing us to pick between a bunch of unset gems then foiling the one we pick. We were already sold on it, what does the extra shine accomplish?

Beats me. Still, as therapeutic as it's been to talk through my Zoey concerns, I should probably give it a rest until we actually see her in action. I'll try to shut up about it for now.

Could you share Pink rose cluck with maya and josy reply?

I doubt it too and I think there is more going on. If I connect the locked door, the stool and the small mirror in the bathroom, it makes me think there is a dead child involved as well (as someone already suggested)...

So, a nursery? Or a plan for one, which means she never had the chance to get pregnant, but they were getting prepared or maybe a miscarriage? I don't want to think something like SIDS or anything, that would really be bad.

Ok, I understand this is not 100% accurate, but the first thing that came to my mind on the episode 3 twist was the second scene in this episode here. I just think this is funny.

I agree with you, realistically it is something impossible to believe

but we can not rule it out completely simply because BADIk is a porn game
