no one gets put in detention for flunking out....Zoey is about 1 1/2 years older than he MC.
MC will be 19 years old while he is at B&R. Emma's Rooster Cluck was 6 months ago. So MC was 18 1/2 years old at that time. Zoey's birthday was at this time and she turned 20. Age clarified.
Zoey had to repeat a course in high school because she failed trigonometry. The MC even says so in the Interlude.
That's probably why Zoey had to do detention, and that's how she met the MC. The MC was 15 at the time, maybe 15 1/2, which would mean Zoey was 16 1/2 or already 17. Zoey taught the MC to smoke, so I assume Zoey was already 17 at the time of detention.
Since Zoey failed trigonometry and had to repeat, it could be that Zoey and the MC took the same trigonometry class.
It is interesting that Zoey's old friends from high school have graduated and may already be studying when the MC goes to B&R. Zoey's old friends are probably all around 20 years old.
Some have already compared Zoey to Quinn in terms of personality, and you can agree with that when you look at Zoey from detention, where the MC meets her. Zoey from Interlude has spent more time with the MC, and if there's one thing we know about the MC, it's that it can influence people in a positive way.
since it is possible to skip the interlude I would say noI also think that the choices we made during the interlude will definitely "shape" his personality.
Yeah, bit of a rookie mistake on my part. (To be fair to DPC, the MC does specifically say he "saw" Zoey got a new boyfriend in his narration.)ah I forgot: ename144 , you have been overly optimistic, other than shy boyfriend, better no boyfriend!!! you never know how people are sensitive ...
We know he must have seen Emma's cluck since there's no other way he could have thought Zoey had a boyfriend. It's possible Zoey had a copy of the pictures herself (they were supposedly something for Zoey to reminisce on when she got old), in which case she might have sent the first one (with her top on) to the MC herself. That would explain why the MC 'saw' it in his narration to Bella even though Emma only posted the topless pic.the interlude left me with two doubts:
When Mc talks to Bella about Zoey we see the photos that Emma took of her, this makes me think that MC has seen them, but did he see Emma's post or at a later time did Zoey shoot them to him directly? the first hypothesis would explain why Mc thinks she is in a relationship...
the second doubt is about the timing: when does Zoey leave? the summer before MC meets Josy? but didn't this create that problem with the age?
More likely Zoey got held back, I'd say. I suppose it's also possible she was no longer 'in' school and would have completed her trig class at home in much the same way she did in San Diego.I think that it is established that Zoey drops out and leaves during the school year before the summer that he met Zoey. She has already turned 19 and only has one class left before graduation. I'm not sure, but it might be that Zoey isn't in the same class as MC but rather the year ahead of him which would explain the incongruity. If this isn't true, maybe she was held back a year at some point. What we do know is that she went no contact for six months before that summer, so she would have left fairly early in the school year.
We don't *know* that the cluck was 6 months ago; it could have been even longer if it came after the MC and Zoey stopped messaging. I think it's likely that was what finally prevented the MC from reaching out further, but we can't be absolutely certain of that.MC will be 19 years old while he is at B&R.

Her only friend in High School was the MC. That doesn't sound like a party girl who would have an easy time making lots of new friends. She lucked into a group of friends, spent all her time surfing, at the tattoo parlour and studying once surf season ended and still had feelings for the MC. Calm down.I have mixed feelings about this interlude. It was overall ok, and while I appreciated the first part, the development of the second half felt too juvenile to me, and kind of broke my suspension of disbelief.

I like the misunderstanding about Emma's post, because it kind of gives the idea of an MC spying on what Zoey is doing anyway and giving up when he sees she's moved on, it's sad but realistic.Yeah, bit of a rookie mistake on my part. (To be fair to DPC, the MC does specifically say he "saw" Zoey got a new boyfriend in his narration.)
I'll never doubt DPC's commitment to avoiding NTR again! Though I am now fascinated to see how he handles the vixens.

As for the timing, I suspect that's being kept intentionally vague to avoid the age issue. She likely left during the school year, so somewhere in the October to May range one year before the present. The MC said he hadn't got a message from her in six months, and that was during the second week of classes. So his last contact with her was in ~February. But in the Interlude Zoey explicitly says she stopped writing Evan daily after the first few months, and then at least a couple more weeks passed before their final message. That moves us back to the November range at the latest.
So I'd say she left somewhere between October and November of the previous year. Of course, this makes her flashback sex scenes with the MC highly suspect, but we'll just shove that quietly under the rug. (That, or her total relationship with the MC was even shorter than his whirlwind romances with the main girls!)
More likely Zoey got help back, I'd say. I suppose it's also possible she was no longer 'in' school and would have completed her trig class at home in much the same way she did in San Diego.

Either way, however, it really makes me wonder why Zoey didn't contact the MC in the next six months once she realized how much she missed him. She conveniently waited until he had a new phone with its retconned new phone number.
Yeah. I've dated girls with ink before, even lots of it. But chest tattoos are an absolute deal breaker for me.No.
Although I find it interesting that, Zoey was pretty, before the ruinous ink jobs.

haha no no no that is tim and his wife the people who live next door. the one with the bad hair cut
But that's where the drama is.I thought the game was halfway even before this interlude. And yeah Zoey will be a factor of importance in the rest of the game but i don't see a certain role of LI for her, just an optional one. I'm sure we will be able to decide to pursue her or not and it's not unlikely a "Dik" Zoey will be aggressive in her attempts to win back MC, delivering some drama for MC with any (chosen) LI.
But it's clear whatever their relationship was, it isn't that anymore. Zoey is not the Zoey that left and MC is not the MC that watched her leave/let her go. There is a whole new ballgame, but that will be just a matter of reconnecting as friends first before we can even go for being lovers again. Their relation needs to be redefined, no matter what choices you made for MC.

I think a really obvious answer to how the mc saw Zoey's cluck was that Emma tagged her in the photo.I like the misunderstanding about Emma's post, because it kind of gives the idea of an MC spying on what Zoey is doing anyway and giving up when he sees she's moved on, it's sad but realistic.
absolutely could also be that Zoey actually had him a boyfriend (not Bret), in the end she was in San Diego for a very long time and that she was all the time "alone" is as realistic as Sage waiting months and months is....
I hope you didn't do the dishes either!my wife just told me here a good idea stop making guess and wait for them game oh yeah do the dishes..
I filed for divorce I hate waiting
You know that we played as Zoey in the InterLube... so why would anything that happened there shape Fuckface' personality ??? (I also think that the choices we made during the interlude will definitely "shape" his personality.
04. the MC tells Isabella the Zoey story. Again the Rooster Cluck is in the center as a wrong basis for the separation.
@ 4 you still claim that a months after cluck is what sealed the deal but at ( @ 1 too you raise doubts ) @ 5 you tend to go with closure at Zoeys departure... ( the latter is the correct one... 2800 miles is 2800 miles... only fools think this has flickering hope )05. in EP6 after Sage and Chad's breakup, the MC comforts Sage. What can he say to Sage. It is an option. Sage is supposed to take her time. Let her be angry, sad, etc. But then seek closure. Sage also asked the MC if he had done it yet. The answer was that he should have, but now it's too late. I assume this was not referring to the Rooster Cluck, but rather a conversation before Zoey left.
Scratch out Fuckface and we are golden... the damage has been done long agoBitch Emma's Rooster Cluck is the deciding point in the whole Zoey/MC story.
It is so simple in fact...Fact is she went radio silent for no reason that would ever hold in any argument.
She is not a lost cause YET !!! but... welp I think she will turn into a sub-speciesThat's right bitches, tattoos!
Easy does it !Since I'm sure none of them were following Emma, tagging Zoey in the photo alerted all of Zoey's followers, including the mc.
Mystery solved.
I'm a simple man, i don't go looking for drama, drama will find you anyway...But that's where the drama is.
Yeah. Because you can skip the interlude, I think dialogue choices are pointless and are just for flavor. A bit disappointed but I guess it'd have been too much work. Maybe that single choice wil shape Zoey's character more towards "DIK" (getting Emma's phone) or "CHICK" (calming her down)Interlude dialogue choices will not affect Zoey later in the game.
After doing Interlude once, if we import more saves we have a choice to skip Interlude, and the only choice we are being asked to make is how Zoey solved the problem with Ems. It is therefore the only variable element of the Interlude that will be reused in the rest of the game.
The standard Zoey is "Dik" but your choices for her will decide if that remains true/false. The options talk or get back are 2 more variables but most likely will result in a more forgiving/understanding or a vindictive/unreasonable Zoey at some point, the standard is neutral (if skipped) but can also be reached by taking the phone but not getting back at her.Yeah.
