VN Ren'Py Eternum [v0.8.0] [Caribdis]

[Lilybelle]

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).

That could still work in the event that Orion gets himself killed in the real, though getting back would probably be funnier in a morbid sense (imagine Orion waking up in a morgue instead of strapped in the VR set in his room, and then he finds Calypso and she starts to think that people in the real world kill themselves and then revive after whenever they go in and out of Eternum, and then the extra hilarity of them trying to escape said morgue while everyone there either screams at the sight of Orion having revived from the dead or getting obliterated one by one by Caly (and Orion panic-screaming at her to stop vaporizing people)).

I recall both of these positions you previously made. However, there are notably different monkey wrenches created by the real world body dying rather than the Eternum body and that creates some Massive questions that would need to be addressed: the first one that comes time mind being the (probable) bullet hole in his body (unless we do something like chloroform/suffocate him)
That said, it'd be pretty amusing to see which of the two of them would produce the bigger reaction when everyone else sees them

wait a moment...

Chloroform/suffocate? Not dead, just unconscious? Almost like a dream? Option C!: We decline Mr. Bardot, and he has us knocked out. We use the time while unconscious to introduce more plot! Simple, effective, plausible
The narrative can be spiced up however is deemed fit with this basic blueprint.

If Orion dies by bullet shots and Caly ends up porting alongside him in the real then I can see the morgue incident with him waking up and seeing the bullet wounds in his body reopening. He then starts struggling to stay awake due to the blood loss and says that he doesn't want to die a second time, but then a healing touch starts mending him, to which he looks at the direction as to where the healing light is coming from and is shocked to find Caly there beside him, mending his wounds...

...still doesn't change the fact that the situation hilariously devolves right after that.

The best part is that if that Does happen and Any physical contact is made, I think there's ABSOLUTELY going to be jokes made about her touching him as well

That'll probably come sometime after they made their escape and such, with Orion likely using it to tease her and all while she goes all flustered and in denial as always.

Alex always goes hard.

You are mistaken this scene, it only shows how serious Alex is taking her physical training to improve her skills. She does proper stretching and asked Axel to stay out of her range but this prick didn't listen to her. While working out, he got into the line and payed for not listening to her advice. So she didn't show being hard but caring.

As someone who always renames the MCs out of habit, and didn't make enough of the mythological connections until well into the game, and is old, I went with a name inspired by his transformation, nostalgia, and a lack of actually remembering what it was like to experience the thing that spawned the name ...

Spoiler: Probably wouldn't if I'd seen this image before choosing, but oh well.

In general, I will go with the default name if it exists--unless the default name is Anon, MC, or the like.

Alex is breathtaking. What a character!

Well played, sir!

 

[Xplove]

Okay, well, make sure your clean install has a clean sancho install or the sancho save fixer ... that's all I got.

thank you for you replies....can you give me a link for the sancho save fixer

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.

If my theory is true, then her RP won't matter because Caly will just love or hate Orion, but her fate is ultimately tied with him. It's similar like the elf in her fairytale, but Orion is both the master and liberator of that story (depending on player choice). The fact that Orion can conjure her is a sign that she's currently not free, despite she says she'll not be imprisoned again. The question is can she kill Orion? She can hold Orion still with her power, but can she obliterate him? My guess is that she can't, and that she can freeze Orion only because he hasn't discovered his true power yet. Once he starts knowing more about himself, he perhaps can even wield some of her power, like that villain from her story. If true, then in a way, she really is his weapon.

A few corrections here:

Jerry is around to show that you can be killed and resurrected from scratch just find. The big deal is excommunication which was explicitly shown to us with regards to Ben's death. That also is shown with the murder mystery where Luna and Annie Alex shine that we are tied to this plane with the MC in some capacity.

Arasaka is a Soul Killer virus. Source: I'm a tabletop player that loves Cyberpunk 2020 and Cyberpunk Red and I'm real familiar with the lore besides the 2077 game. That particular virus kills you then makes a copy to put onto the net. And don't get me started on Rache Bartmoss and the RABIDS. That guy was crazy.

Good post btw.

Thank you. I read a bit of Cyberpunk lore after playing 2077 so I'm familiar with the concept, but it's more of a generic reference. The concept of digitization of the human mind. The same can be said about some episodes of the Black Mirror, such as San Junipero.

Can I adopt her? Please?

Alex...The best animation and performance .. 100/100.
well done Dev ... you have taken the animation to the next level.

If you anyone does not agree than.. challenge the 100/100

Have you lost your mind sir? If it were real life, and you were the MC, and you saw some fucknut bastard luring a child (human/humanoid/alien/sheep/goat doesn't matter) you would seriously think all is well and normal?

You can't be serious. If you are I guarantee the feds are already keeping an eye on you. Holy shit!

Except we don't even know if its an actual child, we don't know if every NPC is like Thanatos and is an actual person turned into an NPC. The MC admits this.

If the child NPC truly is simply lines of code then I don't see anything wrong with doing whatever you want to it. Because then it's not an actual person, it's just an object.

More to the point, is that the other playing was saying all the common arguments people make in favor of taboo erotic fiction. "It's not real", "I wouldn't do this in real life", "It's just lines of code". The Developer is throwing stones in a glass house if he's implying that those arguments hold no merit.
