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

[EmperorGus]

Or husband in a cage.

I'll see that, and raise you a 'Johnny got his gun' sort of spin on it. (Bastard *really* pissed off Bella )

Boxing James eh

 

[NewTricks]

I've held to the theory that James was dead for a long time. Pretty much since we got our first look at him in Bella's flashback and he was acting like Drop Dead Fred while people were looking at Bella like you would look at a person who was talking to themselves. However, it wouldn't surprise me if he was the mysterious porch visitor. Of course, it wouldn't surprise me if it was indeed Lynette visiting, who never really died either and has been spending two decades in a hospital in Boca Raton. This VN is a ridiculous soap opera and you pretty much need to embrace the madness.

When you say "mysterious porch visitor", you're not talking about the end of Episode 11 are you? Because Maya opened the locked room, not the front door/door leading to front door.

I don't have any kids yet, so I'm wondering would it make sense to set up a baby's room on a different floor then the one you sleep on? I would think you'd want it to be closer to your bedroom in case of any emergencies.

It doesn't. Parents typically have their child in the same room as them for the first couple of years.
I was thinking it might be child related but it doesn't make sense because Bella never mentioned this kind of stuff before. Maybe it is some sort of "worshiping" room for James.

The thing about the mysterious porch visitor, could be the MC as they share the same shirt outline coming back after taking Derek to the hospital to console Bella now that the contents/secrets have been exposed to the gang.

I personally believe its something very mild like the storage of her husband's belongings like his boots and all that. The reason I say this is due to the context of the story, her husband has been gone/missing/dead for 3 years and she still has the ring and trying to remain faithful to him (Unless you are on her route, then faithful be damned and she has guilt). We see this closet opened only once and that was when Bella went and got some clothes for the MC to wear for yoga.

We see it opened once before at the end of Episode 3, but Bella was all alone.

The moment you're talking about in Episode 5, she doesn't go to the locked room, she goes to her bedroom.

And of course, MC's reaction depends on if youre dating Bella or not.
Bella path: Oh hell yeah!
Different path: Fuck, I made the wrong choice!

Both MC and Maya's face are a mix between being puzzled and a bit of shock but not too much, with maybe a bit of sadness too, at least for the MC? Whatever it is, it's not something too crazy nor too bad.

Your parents are weird

Or maybe the Boomers just weren't that damn overprotective with us Xers.

I'm of the opinion that whatever is in there is merely surprising, not shocking, and will be a big nothing in the end. No crazy psycho shit, no Acting Lessons nonsense.

But what does mc mean when he said” if I knew I would’ve called for help” or something like that ??

But what does mc mean when he said” if I knew I would’ve called for help” or something like that ??

Still unknown, but it doesn't have to be something sinister.

Actually thinking about in relation to the library scene in Episode 3, I can see why the MC narration talks about calling for help.

Bella is completely heartbroken over losing her child—miscarriage, or SIDS, or even somehow indirectly being her fault, hence asking James for forgiveness. It's not just James she thinks she's betraying by hooking up with MC, but the kid too—and is holding onto the desperate idea that James is still alive somewhere. Because if he can return, then so can the kid (metaphorically, I just mean have another child). Broad strokes, I can see that something like this.

I actually had another idea that I didn't mention in my original comment, but you are hovering around it with the talk of double meanings and Bella being referred to as a mom, so here it is: her child was named James Roberts Jr.

All speculation of course.

Thanks Spock, I’ll read that with my coffee in a bit

People. Who noticed the new, as yet unnamed girl? The blonde, with a hairdo similar to Sally's? She first appears at yoga class, on the left in the front row. Then at Nora's class, she sits in front of MC. And finally at the Christmas party, she's in the 2nd floor living room talking to Chen and we're finally asked to get her a drink. I assume this is the ghoul from the Halloween party.

No idea who you're talking about. Are you sure she's from this game?

Yeah we've all noticed her, and she is indeed the Thristy Ghoul from Halloween. I'm guessing you didn't get her second interaction after getting her the drink?
