VN Ren'Py Intertwined [v0.13.1] [Nyx]

[valbitterb]

She's the owner and chef of a high tier restaurant popular with the rich and famous (and owns a cafe too)... If she had to give money to Andres during those 5 years... she's probably handing it to the MC now, pocket money for her...

Add to that, Monroe/Navarro/Moore family absolutely loaded.
Val daughter of a famous actress(i assume).
Melissa is the hairstylist of celebrities...

Even John doesn't seem to be doing too bad.

Only exceptions seem to be Elena and Darryl, maybe Brooke's family.

Thanks for pointing out that most of the characters don't want for money. I agree that it looks like a problem for Elena, Darryl and Brooke's families.

Even those bastards Ethan and Zach are rich bastards.

Ethan has money for sure, those dudes probably walk around with him because he pays for everything, not because they like him.
That bar looked expensive and he's a regular there, and he was paying for 4 people besides him, 2 girls and and his 2 "body guards".

And Zach got a cool car and personalized plates...

wasn't it last weekend EP 6 two weeks (in game) where the MC flew to Riverside for his non-father's wedding???

Climate protection looks different.

It's only been 2 weeks? Feels like a whole lot more lol.

I always wondered how Melissa is making that much money... she has a pretty nice place, pool etc. Single mom, doesn't seem to be working all that much or regular schedule. Maybe parents are loaded?

I never questioned, but it didn't make much sense, hairstylist living in a nice neighborhood with a pool in her backyard...

But it appears that she isn't the type of hairstylist that works at a beauty parlor, she goes to the clients homes to do their hair, and she has Ximena in her client list.
So hairstylist to the rich and famous.

shit, sorry, it's three weeks, my fault:
EP 10 was Nikki/Cara at the MC
EP 8 was the MC in the training camp
EP 6 the MC flew to Riverside

The dialogue that follows is much more interesting

Imagine all the crap our hero could have gotten into in a 3 month period

and it has to be really good; you can see the result of Cara!

 

[balazar]

Yup it gets frustrating how awful the situation is, blackmail, sexual harrassment, psychological torture and even physical abuse... and how little everyone seems to care about it and just goes about their daily lives like there's nothing wrong, including the MC and Erynn...
I understand she doesn't like to talk about this but still... Which brings me too:


I'm not saying you guys are wrong, it does feel like they are beyond simple making out...
But specially because we are dealing with a traumatized person... the MC needs to vocalize his feelings and stop playing "smooth".
This is a person who needs every reassurance that there's gonna be someone there to catch her when she jumps, so i do think the "big words" need to be said.

Hopefully the beach event provides this opportunity, it's possible her ex-boyfriend(the one from the tape) is gonna be there.
This should provide the perfect opportunity to say something.

The problem with ever saying anything to him is he was a really good athlete if he made it to pro league, who says Ethan isn't blackmailing him too. I mean I can't say Ethan is above it

yeah that could be, but I'd still be interested to learn a bit more of her background if she will be an actual LI at some point

 

[D4rkK1ng]

The girl is in desperate need for reassurance... but the game doesn't give us the option to be more assertive or prioritize solving this Ethan BS.



The way the Nikki dialogue differs from the Cara one is kinda hillarious lol.

I also wonder how Erynn will take the news we are spending saturday on Riverside(assuming you kept Cara/Nikki around).
That's also an interesting conversation

yeap... ethan bs SHOULD have been the priority... Erryn is the childhood friend of the MC and his crush/love from 12 years old... and when he knows that ethan (which mc also despised) make her a escort and blackmail her for 3 years so he can sleep with her should have made the MC forget everything else and try help her and not make him go to beach with some chicks.

 

[LSC82]

We are nearing the end of week 5, so nearly half the time slot of the game(Nyx said 3 months)... this thing is still gonna drag a lot huh.

and it has to be really good; you can see the result of Cara!

Actually i wasn't a fan of her work on Cara lol.

If you search my posts around the release of V10 you'll see me criticizing the new hair.
Ximena looks awesome though, and that's suppoused to be her work.
Layla too and presumably Erynn.

yeah that could be, but I'd still be interested to learn a bit more of her background if she will be an actual LI at some point

I know there's the words from the horses mouth but i still find that hard to believe, Melissa has been so secondary to the story(and she pushes a lot for MC-Erynn to happen) that it's hard to see her as one of the endgame options.
Some sex for sport... i can see that.
If she's to get out of the background she'll need to be pushed a lot more... maybe when she meets John we'll finally get everything that is going on with her.

The need to balance multiple LIs creates these dumb situations.
The dissonance between on how dangerous and awful the situation is portrayed and how cool everyone is about it, we just saw him physically abuse her again...
We have his phone which could be crucial evidence and he's swearing revenge(actively endangering Erynn and any girl you might be dating)... Sounds like the perfect time for a trip right?

 

[Defenestrator.for.traitor]

NIKKI-TAKER is definitely the final boss.

Sorry Defenestrator.for.traitor, SlowGoesSlow and LSC82 ... I couldn't help myself ...

Nah man, I loved it. Especially the last one, with MC's scared face.

I agree and voiced the same concerns as well. Before Nyx shared that list I didn't consider her a potential LI just some teasing shit, even though I like her character a lot. So for the moment I'd say I'm very cautiously optimistic. If she keeps getting the same screen time as before in the next 1-2 updates that will be a sure giveaway Nyx was just fucking with us.

The intended correct choice was not to take his phone though

A few progress updates ago, I said something about a choice in the game that would create double the amount of work in the future. That choice was to help Erynn or stick to the plan. If you help Erynn, you're taking Ethan's phone and that would change the story tremendously. So much so that I even said that once you know where that choice leads you, you'll ultimately pick the other choice.

Where could it lead anyway? Death of John, death of Erynn losing Erynn to Ethan, really? What could so drastic can come out of that decision? I liked rest of the story but Nyx dragging and streching Erynn story so much if it does not involve occasional Ethan beating one could argue it is as dull as a ditchwater.

Where I had a stroke I use a concierge hair stylist and they and their daughter drive brand new cars and live in a great home with a pool and this is in rural Kentucky. I think that there is more money there than you might expect especially after COVID

I'm in the wrong business!!!

well I guess there is a difference between hairstylist and hairstylist, because I have at least 2 women that I know that work as such and they are far off from that. One of them I went to school with a long time ago. Nowhere near that kinda money. They also do housecalls etc on occasion, one of them is self-employed as well like Melissa is (I guess). She doesn't cut celebrity hair though
