VN Ren'Py Being a DIK [v0.11.1] [DrPinkCake]

[Lagunavii]

A pause isn't necessarily a definite closure. Then again, seeing what Quinn is doing, I doubt she will unpause the restaurant, if she even goes back to B&R at all after her war is over.

I know it's not a defenitive closure, we don't know the conversation Burke and Quinn had. He could have told her to shut it down completely, he could have told her to reign it in a little.. Whatever the case Quinn's told Mel shes paused the services, wether that's cause Quinn knows it can be opened again or she thinks she can get it open again is another question...

Either way she closed it, be it temporary or full time. But I think the shit with Rio has opened her eyes a little so it's likely she's not going back there...

 

[Yellowie The Goldie]

Exactly, paused, it kind of insinuates that Quinn is looking to start it back up at some point, which means that there's going to be yet another sub-plot where Quinn is probably going to try and blackmail Stephen Burke.

He's likely got more dirt on her than she does on him. If we believe that Magnar & Ron were involved with sending the pictures from the DIKs laptop to relevant parties, including Stephen Burke...It's more than likely that Magnar & Ron have something on the HOTs as well, something that could lead to the sorority being disbanded. So if she does go scorched earth on him, Stephen will do the same. If he goes down, she'll go down with him type of thing.

No, theres a line about not having sex since Halloween, the Quinn storming out of Burke's office happens shortly after this.

The restaurant was likely "paused" around here.

Yeah I forgot the Mona thing.

Immersion still ruined. No way a girl like Cammy hits a dry spell. 2/10, DPC is a hack

 

[Chillout1984]

Yeah Riona got fucked up, Vinny got his face smashed to shit, Quinn got emotionally traumatized, literally nothing physically was done to Quinn, unlike all the others.

To someone like Quinn, psychological pain is much more damaging and effective than physical pain.

Yeah that was lowkey brutal. DPC better give MC a rematch with fucking Vinny.

DPC is a nearly 50 year old Swedish man

 

[Molmer]

How is this Scot free then?

Because Buddy didn't harm her, Scot-free, nothing was done to her, she got a guilty conscience, Riona was tortured, Quinn feels bad, she got off without any actual physical punishment, unlike the others. What part of this is difficult to understand?

Damn brother, it’s not that deep

 

[MiltonPowers]

I think the implication might be that she's not only stripping, it's established that several of the strippers offer sexual services for cash to VIP clients, as such it's not a stretch to think that Lily is one of these strippers, which is why she doesn't want MC to develop feelings for her.

That's the exact response that pisses Lily off. People look at her as a stripper and immediately think she's a prostitute and/or whore. I believe that this conversation shows she's not offering sexual services for money. She gets quite indignant that people think she is when they look at her.

 

[KАRАMBA]

Quinn got off Scot-free because Buddy has a weak spot for her, literally no other reason.

Buddy have a weak spot for her?
It's unlikely. The reason is Rox. I'm sure Buddy isn't Rox's only friend.
When he says he owes Rocks, and there's no way around it, it doesn't mean Buddy is a sentimental dude.
This means that if he did, he would get in trouble. That's why he didn't hurt Quinn.
He's afraid that she might find protection among her father's other homies.

 

[jak1165]

He also has a different name and job.

Or maybe "Buddy" is a nickname, and hauling cargo is a cover story for being a drug dealer. Whatever it takes to cope.

So Tony Soprano was just in "Waste Management" right? A "last minute surprise relative was actually important to the story and connected basically everyone via 6 degrees of separation all along" feels kinda like a thing DPC might pull

 

[Yellowie The Goldie]

Yeah that was lowkey brutal. DPC better give MC a rematch with fucking Vinny.

I could probably see that happen on a Others playthrough, whereas on MG playthroughs it wouldn't happen since he wouldn't be involved in the shadier side of things at all.

 

[Lagunavii]

Well as I've just said we don't know the conversation Burke had with Quinn. He might have told her to shut it down completely he night have told her to just reign it in while he's going through his divorce...

We don't really know what she's told the girls either, obviously she's told them something that Mels took to mean pause. That could have been something like were gonna have to stop for a bit (with the intention of starting up again. Or perhaps no intention at all)

 

[Molmer]

Happy to have helped you realize that.

No, it's just Buddy being sentimental.

 

[DIKs34]

In Lily's mind, if she has a romantic interest in someone then she cannot be taking her clothes off for others to look at her. It doesn't mean she's not allowed to be in a relationship and still strip, it's that in her mind, it's wrong and won't do it.

Must've missed that part about her state of mind towards relationship. But even if it's the case, her keeping MC at arms length was just one of my argument to say that Lily seems suspicious toward Quinn.

Maybe she doesn't want to take down the restaurant, maybe she want to run it instead. We still don't know who the big boss is. If the phonecall Burke made was indeed Madame (I'm sure it isn't a serious theory, but at the same time, it would make sense that Burke team up with someone working at the Pink Rose to start a prostitution ring with students.. or it was the other way around) and she was unhappy with Quinn's way of business, it would make sense that she push the youngest of her Pink Rose girl to go to B&R and slowly take over this side of the operation.

Or something like that, I'm tired, I'm sure I'm not really coherent... All I'm saying is that Lily is fishy towards Quinn. She's still my favorite even if she take down Quinn.

EDIT: I still think she want to take it down because it's a direct competitor to the Pink Rose, but both possibilities are still open.

Am I the only one who felt that it was a bit weird that there wasn't any mention whatsoever about you getting a titjob/blowjob from Heather in the Halloween party even after everything that happened?

 

[Lagunavii]

I could probably see that happen on a Others playthrough, whereas on MG playthroughs it wouldn't happen since he wouldn't be involved in the shadier side of things at all.

I think this is an issue most currently have. In there many different routes they play. Things sorta get merged.
The restaurant for example. If you're not on the others route, that shit means nothing to you...
Again the drugs route, other than being threatened by Vinny, that side of things means nothing to the MC if he's not on the others route.
Given that they are canon events with or without the MC there are certain things that may or may not get sorted with out the MCs intervention.

Unless you're on a pure DIK route, then there is still a possibility to get into the shadier stuff.
- You can become a VIP costumer at the Pink Rose, those are often more likely to at least be known by the management (even if you don't interact with them at all)
- You can use drugs with a possibility to buy some yourself in the future (although unlikely the way the story currently goes)
- You can get physical multiple times and once even with someone outside of B&R.
- You can do some pretty dark stuff like laughing in Becky's face because you make her puke or throwing people out in their underwear during PP.

I wouldn't be too surprised if on DIK affinity MC would enter the underworld himself for some reason in the future.

No, it's just Buddy being sentimental.

No, it's Buddy somehow knowing how to best deal with someone like Quinn.

At most Derek would know she did the boobjob, and he wouldn't tell. Other than that it's just a game to them.
