That scene in MC's room is going to be

 

[dalli_x]

the whole point of the final chunk of the last episode was MC's existential crisis leading to the breakfast conversation and in turn leading to his ultimate decision and the epilogue of that decision. MC was sure about his choice, that was the whole point. and having played the Interlude, Zoey literally comes back to be with MC cause she thinks he is "the one". she isnt coming back to just be friends with him lol, her entire purpose to to disrupt whatever is goin on in MC's life.

I think that is why DPC allowed us to play Zoey as DIK or NEUTRAL/CHICK. A DIK Zoey will fight for the MC because she thinks it belongs to her. But a NEUTRAL/CHICK Zoey realizes that it is her fault because she was chasing a meaningless dream and could not expect the MC to be waiting for her.

Zoey realizes this herself because of the stories she heard from Emma and Bret. But in EP8, Elena told the MC that maybe staying friends with an ex-date (ex-girlfriend?) isn't such a good idea. This suggests that DPC will give us a choice.

1- Religion has no place here. We are literally the members of a Den of Inequity
2- DPC is responsible for every single facet of his game, by choice. For those who think this is going to go more than a couple more chapters, do you really think he would start resolving some of the relationships here in chapter 8 if there are going to be 20? Exactly. He wouldn't. This particular story will be ending within a few more updates. 10 is my bet for the final, but for sure by 12. He can not keep up this pace. Plus he wants to do other things. So what are you going to do with the soon to hit ending???? Cry? Please, WE ARE REPROBATES. We nut and move on.
3- Look, Pink is not good at some aspects of this. He is brilliant at others. Visually he is hard to beat. Story...... not so much. So why get bent out of shape about the Jade/Stephen/Sage thing???? Just accept it as a stupid way of writing, and go on. It is always going to smell, look, and taste bad. Just gut it up and swallow!

Peace
PS
Quinn is NOT a love interest!

1) Religion is even a part of the game. Patrick is religious and therefore makes life difficult for Maya. Just because it is (in my opinion) an adult VN with intimate content doesn't mean it has to be immoral.

2) DPC doesn't break relationships, does it? Relationships change from romantic to friendly or the other way around.

3) How can you judge the story now even though it's not over yet? We all, myself included, lack the context of a completed story. That's why we have theory, fanfiction, discussion and debate.

But you are right about one thing. Quinn is not an official love interest.

 

[felicemastronzo]

. While I won't deny, that zoey arrival might shake a bit MC feelings, I dont think he will second guess his current relationship if he has any.
It will be in the hand of the players like always, and they are the one who gonna choose to go for it. And then complaining about it here..
No matter whos path their on , most people won't reject a possible sex scene, and they will complain if they can't get it, and they complain if they get it, but it has a consequence, it's just the same old circile..

I myself guilty about this too, so I know what I'm talking about..

I don't think Zoey will be just a side girl, like Riona for example, with whom we can decide whether to kiss her or not, whether to phone her or not

I believe that Zoey will be "plot," and that until she has fulfilled her plot function (after which she can be a secondary girl and that's it) MC's feelings toward her will be as predetermined as those for Josy were in the first season.

no forced sex, but we won't decide how many doubts it will put in MC's head, how many clarifying meetings the two will have to have, and we won't be able to avoid the reaction, the concern, the jealousy of the LI we had chosen

 

[dalli_x]

the patch is worse than the hole....

so Sage would willingly hide who her parents are from MC because she knows he would have his own reasons for wanting to avoid them? she basically tricks him out of selfishness, not trusting him to consciously let him choose, because she wants his support "at any cost"

come on.. the only one who has a reason why Sage is not clear is DPC

To find a conclusion. It does matter that the MC doesn't know that Stephen and Jade are Sage's parents because DPC wanted to shock the unfaithful DIKs in this player world. Boooom. It worked. Everyone who fucked Jade, Sage and more girls felt the shockwave and is now worried about the consequences. Plus point DPC.

If the players had known beforehand so Sage was a Burke, it wouldn't have gone "Boooom". Plus point DPC.

That's why DPC gave Sage the character she has. Sage is still an introvert, but she hides it, as we can read at the end of EP7. Ergo, she doesn't peddle her last name because she wants to do everything on her own. We only know that Chad, Quinn, Stephen, Jade and Tybalt know her last name. Maybe Riona too because she may have found out from Quinn. This is a very intimate group of people. Either family or closest friends.

Besides, I don't give a shit that Sage is a Burke. I see her as a good friend to my MC and she wants to help my MC's LIs. That is what is important to me and not that my MC didn't know before so Sage is a Burkle. Priorities.

 

[dalli_x]

I agreed with you until you said he'll come back. I'll only believe that when I see it.
DPC didn't even had the balls to show him and Bella being cosy with each other when they supposedly were happily married, and Bella clearly still has feelings for him. Seeing as DPC avoids even the slightest hint of NTR like the plague, I just can't see it happen, at least for now as the story stands. Perhaps it'll make sense when we learn what the fuck went down between him and Bella.

If the MC is not on Isabella's path, it would not come to NTR when James returns. Even if the MC had been on Isabella's path, I would be the last one to spoil Isabella's happiness with James.

This part does not sound so bad, it is time for the love interests to do some work for MC. Put some effort to keep him . .

you got distracted...

the conclusion is that it didn't work because that scene is for everyone, and for people who haven't had to deal with Jade it's a scene that they have to struggle to understand, committing themselves to making sense of it

so no, it didn't work, at least not for everyone

How promising was the bathroom scene with Josy and Jill?
no sign the next chapter...

Nah, DPC is on team Zoey

as I said it before the bathroom scene purpose was, an indication to players whether you are still on Jill path or not.
but you talk about different things. You said that Zoey might spark some jealousy from the chosen love interest. I said it might be a good thing. My mind immediately went to, a possible upcoming anal sex with Josy. . or with Jill, She need to learn a lots of thing if she is afraid that a blue haired Vixen might stole her man. .
it's not enough just to get something, you also need to keep it. of course on the "others "paths it's a different story, but may be not. May be seeing MC with Zoey might encourage those who rejected him, to regret it.
or even Quinn gets more territorial.

what its function was only DPC knows, but that scene could have triggered something a little more than what it did

regardless of the scene in the bathroom Josy knows about Jill, and Jill should know about Josy anyway, I didn't see this struggle to grab him

I don't recall this scene. Is this a throuple exclusive, or something else?

 

[Lostanddamned]

That doesn't make the theory any more likely. The flashback of EP8 is further than just 3 years in the past. Also, in the flashback of EP5, we see Jill comforting an Isabella at the Preps mansion. So the flashback of EP5 can be at most 3 years in the past because we know Jill is in her 3rd year of college.

Theory of why James is gone. Isabella cheated on James with Tommy and was caught by James inflagratie. Tommy escapes through the woods and meadows and James drives the car looking for him. Tommy escapes, but James has not returned since. Why Tommy? In the same flashback, Tommy is sitting on the stairs with Rusty. Tommy's shirt is completely torn. Do you want to know why James hasn't come back yet? When he was looking for Tommy, he wasn't paying attention and hit Heather, who later rolls past Tommy in a wheelchair with two broken legs.

Now you can wonder why Jade doesn't like Isabella.

Stick to why Josy and Jill are sisters because they wear the same color pants theories, Dalli. This one is so out of reach that it's more likely that Sage and MC turn out to be siblings.

indirectly yes

you must be in both the trouple and Jill's path and you must have taken the dick pic on Tybalt's cell phone

well , Jill and Josy quickly became friends, and it was more or less a mutual acknowledgment about the situation being weird that they both have a crush on the same guy.
Zoey on the other hand a different story, only Bella heard about her, and even there Zoey was just a distant memory.

What I'm saying that may be there is a bit truth about what you say. And overall it won't be about MC second guessing himself, but rather about how the current girls feels about Zoey. or a bit of both. also mixing it with that Zoey probably gonna confess to MC that she wants him, putting MC in to an awkward position.
But in the end of the Days, it will be the players who will shape this.
I hold my hellhounds for a while and don't prejudge DPC's intentions , yet. I need to see how its play out first.

 

[Darkwen]

I think that scene purpose will come out in E9 once you tell the rejected LI your choice leading to this:

My moneys on Josy poor Jill

 

[Bendover885]

indirectly yes

you must be in both the trouple and Jill's path and you must have taken the dick pic on Tybalt's cell phone

Ah, thanks for the clarification.
