Ohh ... that's an interesting thought. I haven't been able to wrap my head around what comes next.
Exactly!
I checked the code and she has a path variable and a point system just like the other main LIs. I wonder if the reason she is not listed is because caribdis does not want to spoil new players? But yes it will be nice to have her own outfits/gallery scenes like the other LIs.
Considering that this takes place in the same continuity of Caribdis' past game, I highly doubt that's going to be the case...
I shared a very similar experience. I was introduced to Eternum at v0.4. When Luna's ability was introduced my initial thoughts were "Oh, ok... her personality is even quirkier than I realized". After experiencing OiaL my interpretation became "She's still quirky, but this ability is likely real... How is it going to play into the plot?" The insanity of my theories was vastly expanded after experiencing the predecessor, for better or worseThat's asking for a "Something About Mary" type of moment...
In other news:
Just had the conversation with Axel at the bus stop. I'm now a lot less surprised by this trajectory since I played OIALT between v0.5 and v0.6. Seeing that VN put me a little more into the mind of Caribdis and the occult and "other worldly" overtones make much more sense to me. At first, I really didn't get it, but was going with it because it's a very engaging story with great characters (and ABSOFUCKINGLUTELY INSANE fans), and now that I see how Cari's first major foray into VNs went, I think I'll be less surprised by any of the weirdness that comes next.
Don't roll credits...I was thinking more along the lines of Calypso sitting down at the Carter household's dining table and munching on Dalia's food while Orion looks at her white as a sheet. She then starts complaining to him how much the food of their world sucks, then sees Orion just staring at her, to which she then asks what's wrong as the camera switches to a slow zoom in of Orion's face still having that stupid Pikachu face look.
And then scene quickly fades to black, with Orion's final words in the dialogue box saying "What. The Fuck."
Then roll credits.
A few corrections here:
...I don't recall an event with Luna and Alex. Was there? Or did you mean Luna and Annie? Because if it's the latter and you somehow mistook Annie for Alex...
Imagine if this really is the case but choosing option A leads you to pissing Alex so much that you lose her path despite everything that has happened between you two a few hours before. That would absolutely sting, really.
This may sound odd, but I've been sitting and just listening to Etenum for the last several minutes - I did a save point upon returning to Alex's apartment after Blackridge, and the sound of the wind and rain is quite soothing.
It's been a typical SE Texas summer, with lots of days over 100F actual, and most feeling about 10 degrees hotter than actual due to the humidity and high pressure. Only 10 days with rain since the beginning of June. And, yes, that is pretty typical for us for as long as I can remember (over 50).
We may get rain mid-month. Hope we get some good rumbles out of it too - that way I can listen without booting up a VN, though I might make a save point right here to come back too when I need it.
In regards to this, allow me to paint a picture:
.And now you're thinking "That's absurd. We can't kill Orion" To which I say, "Sure we can. We just have to bring him back". It's possible this instance could be used as a very significant plot point. What if when we die, our soul (or something of the sort) ends up in Eternum. Then we recall the letter we received from the "young maiden" previously. Using its power, instead of the "real world to Eternum" situation we keep finding ourselves in, we end up with the reverse of going from "Eternum to the real world".
Never stop sending those messages please
I had to delete the Alex pictures and it was Annie. Best girl. The one who we jumped off the tip top of Eternum to be with.
I mean I mentioned in a convo we had before that a potential scenario for dragging Caly to the real world would be if Orion gets excommunicated and he gets whisked away to a hidden "server" where the other excommunicated players are processed to NPCs, leading to a prison break event and Orion's ass getting saved by Caly at the last moment, but in the process porting her and Orion to the real world (leading to this funny event that I hypothesized earlier).In regards to this, allow me to paint a picture:
Option A does indeed ruin the Alex Path. But how about for Option B, he kills us right then and there
Do I believe this possible as I write it? No. But that's only because I think it's too early for this angle and would create to much confusion without a massive lore bomb. There Could be a massive lore bomb given next chapter because of where we left off but based on the pacing so far I'm more inclined to believe this concept has more merit later down the line. From the viewpoint of Mr. Bardot doing this might've "yielded the intended result" but from the perspective of us as the readers with the pacing of the game in general it would be viewed as lots of plot holes due to our lack of information which isn't worth listing out for this crackpot conspiracy to make sense.
Just something to think about.
