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

[Better Cock Spock]

Considering Quinn's poor history in planning for further moves she might try something. Emphasis on the word try. The plan might indeed be to wait until police clear out apart from whoever is left to guard the scene, use the tools to break in and claim items either from the safe (if Quinn knows the combination) or some hiding spots the police might have missed. Quinn lived in the place as a kid so it would be expected for her to know such hiding spots. It's even plausible for her to be the only one who knows about them, if Rox never told anyone but her. There could also be spots not even Rox knew about but what would Quinn have hidden there as a little girl?

Possible outcomes:

1. Quinn is arrested by cops left to guard the scene.
2. Quinn aborts the mission because there are too many guards.
3. Quinn gets the items but is caught by Buddy's henchmen.
4. Quinn succeeds.

There are some possibilities with Quinn getting arrested. It could start the process of redemption for Quinn where everyone goes down with her, but while it would close a lot of on going plots I can't really see how MC would be involved on any of the main paths. It could be that keeping out of trouble is a condition for succeeding on some of the paths, but it's a bit too elaborate for something you are simply supposed to avoid if you aren't on Quinn's path. It might be in the game but I'd expect some alternate possibilities.

One possibility is the classic one phone call. Quinn might call MC, Sage or Stephen. Sage would of course ask Stephen to solve the matter so there isn't much difference, but it might be significant if Sage asks both her parents to help Quinn or asks Stephen when Jade is in the room so that the plots get tied together. If Quinn calls Stephen directly the plots would stay separate. Now I don't think both of those options will exist in the game. They are just story options DPC has.

An option I would expect is Quinn calling MC if you have a good enough relationship with her. It might only happen if Quinn is active on Others, but it might also happen if Others (Quinn included) was a possibility in ep 8 and the player chose Sage or Bella. It would bring player choices into the moment, but I'm kind of drawing a blank on what MC might be able to do there other than persuade Quinn to be cooperative with the law.

Quinn just aborting the mission is perhaps the least satisfying option. It would only do something for the story if what she was after was somehow important and not simply a stash of money and/or drugs and even then there would have to follow a plan to get it from the police and that would be a bit too wild a turn.

On the other hand Quinn getting what she is after and running into Buddy's henchmen has plenty of drama possibilities, but what's the excuse for them being there to catch her? Buddy can't possibly have ordered anyone to do that within the time Quinn would attempt the deed. If Buddy himself escaped arrest, he might be there to catch Quinn but she would be breaking a record in stupidity if she tried it without actually seeing Buddy get arrested. The only person who might be there to catch Quinn is Vinny, which admittedly has some promising possibilities. Such as Quinn stabbing him.

And then Quinn could just succeed. That would be simplest of all, but then there would definitely have to be more than just drugs and money.

I know what's in the safe: the key to Bella's locked room, the drug lab

I feel like if Quinn is caught by either the cops or Buddy's goons, that's it for her, that's the end of her story. If she fails and abandons the safe, that's just prolonging the story. If she's successful and steals whatever is inside, we can learn more about her and perhaps we get another step closer to closing this plotline. Or idk, Vinny goes after her to get whatever it is back in addition to revenge.

The safe is much less interesting to me than the locked room, and despite loving Bella and her story, I want that over with already. The safe might as well be another puzzle box.

Not sure I agree with that the only time Jill has ever looked "old" to me is ironically in a flashback.

It's definitely the hair.

It might be the hair, but the latest renders make Jill look "older" to me.

 

[I'm Canadian bub]

This week, I finished up a scene I was working on and completed the art for another.

I continued by posing static renders.

I'm currently focusing on canon content.

I estimate that the produced static renders are around 46-51%,

I really really really hope and aim to have another preview for you in the upcoming week but it's going to be extremely hard.

Have a nice weekend

Dr PinkCake

I wonder how many you'll catch with this

I don't personally see any way Quinn getting arrested doesn't end with a bunch of pissed off fans.

We know that Quinn is not cooperating with police; her snapping the SIM card is proof that she doesn't want to be associated with the bust. So she can't expect any leniency from that quarter. Even if she admits she's the one who dropped the dime, all they'll see is one drug dealer ratting out the competition, not someone who got in over her head or wanted to get dangerous people off the street.

We know that Quinn's foster family hates it when she even acknowledges her past. If they learn she's been arrested for sneaking into the site of a drug bust, especially when it involves her father's old crew, there's no way they're helping her. That's probably going to just be the end of her relationship with that family, straight up. At that point, she's made her choice clearly.

Burke bailing her out is possible given his influence, but would he want to? It'd be putting himself at a lot of risk, since his public connection to her is tenuous at best. Sure, she's a friend of his daughter's, but getting her out of prison after an incident like this would be a stretch. Quinn might be able to blackmail him into doing it by threatening to reveal their real association with each other, but unless she can prove it then it'll be her word against his, and we all know how that will go. Even if it works, it would be classic Quinn - solving one problem by creating six more.

Who's even left to help her at that point? Tremolo doesn't have anywhere close to the resources or influence to get her out, even if he's on her route, and if he's not then forget it. Riona wants nothing to do with her, and I suspect most of the HOTs won't either when they learn the truth about all her shady dealings and what happened to Rio. Sage maybe, but I'm really not sure what she can do except bring the issue to her father, who again is unlikely to help unless he feels pressured to.

If Quinn doesn't have anyone to bail her out, then she's stuck. It's unlikely she'd be out of jail anytime soon - especially because Buddy and his goons will absolutely peg her as the reason for the raid and give her up on a silver platter. Without a miracle she'd be out of the story for pretty much the rest of the game, which would obviously piss off lots of people.

The only way I can see her getting out of jail without forcing the issue with Stephen is some BS deus ex machina type shit, like Tremolo going to visit her in her cell, the police chief being revealed as Lyanna's long lost sibling who feels bad about cutting off their sister when she married a commoner and wants to honor her memory by helping out their nephew, then freeing Quinn to make amends or some shit. Which would be incredibly stupid, and again piss off lots of people.

So most likely if she gets caught - which, let's be real, she absolutely would be because she's an overconfident idiot - she's only getting free by blackmailing Burke. I'm not certain exactly how she'd go about that, because she'd need hard evidence of his involvement in whatever it might be he's actually involved with - the restaurant, most likely. But he seems pretty good at covering his tracks so I don't imagine that's going to come to fruition quickly enough for her to rejoin the story.

He tried to fuck a student in a huge party full of guests and where his wife and two children were present. It's a miracle he wasn't getting caught.

I don't personally see any way Quinn getting arrested doesn't end with a bunch of pissed off fans.

Also we're speaking about a dev well known for having forced players to let a love interest burn in a house in fire. He's even proud of that. I don't think he really cares about pissing off fans. Honestly what he did in the trouple path for example, was clearly meant to piss players off.

I never said he won't do it. Just that I don't see any solution that doesn't.

Arrest, jail...
Isn't it a bit early to jump to conclusions?
What data does the investigation have? What evidence?
What we see in the game, as outside observers, isn't obvious to the cops.
To make a charge, they need physical evidence, such as the presence of drugs in sufficient quantities, either on her person or at her residence, and of course, witness testimonies.
And that necessarily includes testimony from those who purchased the drugs from her.
Does the investigation have this material?
I'm far from sure.

 

[Joshy92]

Come on DPC, give us a Quinn chick path. It would be so epic.

 

[El_Magnifico]

I never said he won't do it. Just that I don't see any solution that doesn't.

Because you're trying to find a rational and plausible answer. But that's not something DPC really does despite him claiming he doesn't do lazy writing, he doesn't even try to make the plotline realistic.

Jonathan should have denounced Buddy and his crew years ago, after Lana's death. Of course he probably didn't know about Rox death but since he's aware that his former dealers have laced their cocaine with fentanyl why didn't he talk to the cops ? If he was so overwhelmed by guilt, he should have done it just to prevent that what happened to Lana wouldn't happened to any other potential customers. Buddy and his crew are still working at the same place 15 years later. Working as a counselor at a drug rehabilitation center, where he tells Lana's story and tries his best to make sure nobody else is harmed by them is fine but stopping the dealers who killed his girlfriend with their laced drugs should have been a priority. But apparently he was fine letting the responsible of Lana's death getting away with it.

Burke is a loaded guy, who could afford to offer himself a epic threesome with the restaurant five times a week but for some reason he chosed to have a silent quickie where he can be found out by his son, wife, buisness partners and colleagues, so basically risking everything. Jade shows us how its done, a motel where you can pay in cash and then you ravage that college ass all night and get your moneys worth. And even if Burke needs the "dangerous" kick, you take her 2 cities over and fuck her in public, but if he tried anything at the prep party, its just suicide. He does it nonethless.

Half of the drama with Sage and Jade happened because for something like two months, the MC never heard Sage's last name.

The MC is taking months to read his mother's diaries, apparently no more than 5 pages a day so we won't have a big reveal before it's convenient.

Dawe assaulted a teacher and can be seen distributing Cathy naked pictures many times in many place but nothing happened, somehow he doesn't get expelled.

I'd rather not talk about Maya tuition or Jill and Tybalt's blackmail because from a legal point of view, it doesn't make any sense.

The point is, if Quinn turned into a female John Wick or Bella suddently becomes a female Norman Bates in the next episode you shouldn't even be surprised at all

The discussion is about Quinn getting caught breaking into a crime scene to steal something from a drug den crawling with cops. That's kind of hard to avoid going to prison. Obviously if she successfully sneaks past them she'll be fine, for now, but that wasn't really what was being talked about.

Y'know what? Fair enough. I really should know better than to trust him with coherent story threads after Derek's finger.

If she's going to go into the den, it's only when no one's there. She's probably going to get her father's stash.
She knows where it is, but Buddy didn't.
So she has reason to believe that the stash is still there and intact.

Still can't believe Iris is going to get Tremolod
Legit can't wait to see the lead up to this, what a time to be alive

Right about the time MC cums on her face, MC yells out...."D....DDD.......DEREK !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!"

It is great, I agree.

But I can't put it above the Jill piano recital with the MC helping her out onstage. (So practice guitar enough times and transcribe the sheet music.)
That whole scene from start to all of them congratulating Jill and MC outside after is an absolute f'in Masterpiece.

Jill was so happy about MC helping out with the recital that she refused to invite him along when Bianca called Jill up the stairs.

I thought that she would call the police that there has been a big gang shoot out and bring SWAT or whatever....everything you got.... "Me? ....I'm just a concerned citizen. You better hurry!"

I hope they release a DLC where we play as Quinn and sell weed at college. There will be knife fights and a minigame about growing weed at Bella's house. And a stealth mission to infiltrate Buddy's lair. They'll also tell the stories of Riona, Camilla, Mona, Sarа and Melani. Perfect!

It's Lynette. MC's mom's name is Lynette.

But enough nitpicking. Stephen bailing Quinn out pretty much has to be on the table if Quinn gets arrested. It might indeed be completely railroaded. Stephen has been shown to be very cautious so I don't think he would risk leaving Quinn in police custody even if he is confident she has no solid evidence on him. And if Quinn doesn't have evidence but tried to bluff, Stephen wouldn't dare to call it.

Publicly the only excuse to help Quinn Stephen needs is that she is a B&R student and he is protecting the school's reputation. If Jade suspects him of having ulterior motives she might think he was doing it to win Sage over. Not that he cares about Sage, but simply to fuck with Jade's and Sage's relationship.

Quinn being arrested and Stephen bailing her out would lead to the divorce, drugs and prostitution being tied together which then would lead to them being resolved together. There aren't that many episodes to go so some cleaning up has to happen soon.

But there are also possibilities in Quinn not being arrested and either running into Vinny on her way out or being seen by him. It's another way for Quinn to miscalculate with her plans and honestly after all her fuck ups it would be straight up wrong for her to simply succeed at something. I'd definitely favour those possibilities as MC's ability to do something about it is so much more plausible.

And of course she might not even do something like that in the first place. The crowbar and cutters are such a weird thing to pack, though.

Another thing that might end up being significant are the binoculars. They are Sage's. Quinn is specifically shown to take them from Sage's room and they've made an appearance in the game before. Maybe Quinn will accidentally leave them behind and police get suspicious because there is "Property of Sage Morgan-Burke" written on them.
