VN Ren'Py Intertwined [v0.14.1] [Nyx]

[cooldevo]

I like John with Emily just for the inevitable shit show when it gets revealed that he's Melissa's ex and Erynn's dad, for once we can watch the shitshow unfold from a safe distance...
And then there's Santiago trying to rekindle things with Emily too, just grab your popcorn

Add a couple of possible bonuses in that this might make Brooke distraught enough to try dick for the first time
I doubt Nyx gonna do this(i've seen women call this type of thinking misoginistic), but 1% is better than 0%

Brooke is specially reserved for Emily in ~80% of my playthroughs, so it had better happen. It'll just be too much fun to have her around in the new 'mother' role. John gets the rest of them, for other reasons including what you mentioned. At first I didn't expect Brooke to change her preferences, but she does seem to be opening up to the MC including giving him her first two kisses to a male, so now I'm on the fence about what will happen.

The kisses weren't really making out... kisses on the cheeks... it's arguable.
But when she layed on top of him... that was teasing a guy a little too far and she must've known that...
I look forward to taking her on a (promised) bike ride, preferably right after John comes to pick up Emily at the restaurant... Catch her when she's at the lowest, right when she figures out "it's never gonna happen"

My Man!
Hence my previous Emily/Melissa/John threesome prediction!

I'm down with any form of crazyness coming from here.
Surely it will be a punch to the gut for Melissa...

I don't disagree that it was only on the cheek, but if those are the first two given to a non-parental/sibling male, that's still huge.

For the most part, I just chalk her actions up to being BFF 'friendzoned' which is where MC will fit in. Same reason she doesn't care if he's around when she changes. Or cuddling on the couch. If she just sees MC as a best friend, then the actions may not be romantic/sexual to her, and no different then how she'd behave around her female friends.

The walls may break down over time and she realizes there might be something there, which would add it's own unique storytelling elements.

Most of the reason my John saves have lagged behind is just because I haven't gotten the heart to consider doing something that dirty to her like that yet. Should Emily not be interested, then I'll come in and mop up the pieces....

If the NTR brigade don't like Emily and John, they are going to shit a brick when the inevitable Emily / Melissa / John threesome happens!

This render alone ended the incest crowd's hopes.

So I'm looking forward to NTR crowd desolation.

Actually you're right, Mommy Brooke will find out about John soon, then he will find hiself dead behind a dumpster like the last person that tried to mess with Emily!

It's probably a good thing

I'm not actually writing this story lol.

No one messes with Mama Brooke!

This is why Melissa has been single all this time, she couldn't get off on all those smaller dicks.

Out of reactions. Yeah John ruined her for all others ...

Emily: "His name is John, he has blue eyes, blonde hair, is covered in tattoos and has a 16 inch dick"
Melissa: "That's definately not my John, and I have no follow up questions"
Me: "Really though Nyx?... Really?"

HAHAHAHAH

Yeah. This one has already been played out too long and now it's screamingly obvious to the point of parody. Let's get to the reveal and get to more sexual shenanigans and drama.

I don't disagree that it was only on the cheek, but if those are the first two given to a non-parental/sibling male, that's still huge.

Ladies kissing our MC on the cheek are one of Nyx's tells that things are going well, and the lady's interested.

 

[valbitterb]

It has become too much of burden, it's slowing down the things we actually care about...
If Nyx isn't willing to do both simultaneously like @Justaphase suggested, it needs to go and fast.

Zane is looking like much more interesting opposition, Ethan is just a rich loser with no scruples but also no game whatsoever... Zane you can actually use him to cause jealousy... and without making him an irredeamable evil prick.

Out of reactions.

If this were Marvel Studios, let's get Phase One with Ethan over and done with before the costume party and barbecue. But I don't know if it's possible storywise to fix things within the school week.

Phase Two with rival Zane looks more promising.

 

[cooldevo]

I can see your points. The guy she trains/hangs out with could just be some track team members. Her mom does mention the name Zane though after the photo booth scene. This is why im thinking it could be Zane, either he's just her friend she hangs around with or her boyfriend. As for Layla setting up MC and her, maybe Val just didn't tell her in which case Layla couldn't possibly know either way. Guess we may find out who it was down the line

Not sure how I didn't notice this before, but came across it on the Layla path. This happened after Val and MC stretch and Layla gets jealous.

Unless her status changes between training camp and the gym scene on the Val path.

Nyx really pushes the mystery, every chance she has.

NYX really needs to stop beating us over the head with the fact that John is Erynn's father. Hell, we even had the MC imagining Erynn was Iris a few times on their date because JOHN IS ERYNN'S FATHER. WINK.

As for the Ethan situation, getting resolved soon. I doubt it. We'll be lucky if we get a decent Elena relationship storyline in the next two updates.

There is another rare line I've only seen once, i don't remember the circumstances but when tori asks val who she'd sleep with, after darryl she CAN say "maybe <MC>". I don't remember how I got her to admit that though.

 

[Maviarab]

JOHN IS ERYNN'S DAUGHTER

Fuck...now I really am confused....

Looks tight schedule wise but who knows...
Perhaps Ethan makes his move on John this monday already(plus the consequences of the Val encounter) and maybe things move quickly from there...
All i know is that this blackmail/modelling agency corruption story isn't what hooks me to Intertwined, and it feels like it's greatly overstaying it's welcome.

Or maybe bite the bullet and allow Erynn to go official before the conclusion.

NYX really needs to stop beating us over the head with the fact that John is Erynn's father. Hell, we even had the MC imagining Erynn was Iris a few times on their date because JOHN IS ERYNN'S DAUGHTER. WINK.

Worst kept secret, everyone has figured that out by now... i don't know what Nyx is waiting for to make the characters involved learn of this too.
Maybe the reveal will be around Ethan making his move on John. It makes some sense to connect things.

There is another rare line I've only seen once, i don't remember the circumstances but when tori asks val who she'd sleep with, after darryl she CAN say "maybe <MC>". I don't remember how I got her to admit that though.

I think, ironically, it happens if you have low points...
If Valeria is actually interested on the MC she holds the secret from Tori, if she's "meh" towards the MC she calls him one of the fuckable options.

That would admittedly be an epic reveal though, you gotta admit

Yes that's when you don't have enough points with Val, but have a few points from the bus trip.

Looking at her phone photos without her permission is what gets most players subtracted points.

When Val is really into the mc, she doesn't reveal it to Tori. She looks at the mc with longing and the dialogue line:

" . . . "

Another Val tell from that scene is when you're with Layla on romance or friend path, she turns from Daryll to look at you and Layla with longing and some envy.

I think it makes perfect sense Val lying to Tori in this situation, she's the new girl, Tori is obviously a bit... "intense", she should be a little guarded in that situation.
The scenario where she mentions the MC simply means she finds him good looking but isn't particularly interested.

it's a weird one for me because I love it when character reveal stuff to another even if I know what it is. But at the same time kind of annoying to keep a secret from the players when there has been alot of clues.

I think even if by some miracle the Ethan blackmail stuff is resolved , Ethan probably gonna still be around for another reason.

And the second tell for

I'm not interested

is Val turning from Darryl to the mc and Layla with a smile on her face.

 

[cooldevo]

The number of times he "cheated" during the staring contest thing on Val's beach date. He was hopeless. Even had the audacity to call Val hyper competitive.

I think I found the only scene in the game, where MC will actually let one of the LI's win and doesn't force watching his lame/frustrating cheating. I completely forgot this happens on the Nikki path, just went through another run with her solo this morning.

And when you pick to let her win, he actually does and doesn't get all butthurt over it. I guess there is one brief moment of light amongst all his cheating shenanigans.

I loved watching MC getting all butthurt over Erynn whipping his ass in volleyball even after he tried to cheat, followed by the fact that he realized that Erynn was taking it easy on him the whole time lolz

I think that's where it's a tough line to walk.

The players (us) are the only person that have all the information available in the game. The in-game people have anywhere from none to some information. So when they "experience" something, it's new to them in-game but possibly old-hat to the player, as we've seen some or a lot of tips, hints, spoilers, of the same information.

A number of the scenes "seen" happen when the MC isn't even there... so we are already being spoiled with extra information the MC shouldn't have. Such as conversations with Emily and Mel. Or Erynn and Mel. Or Val and her mom. So when the in-game characters experience them, we've already seen/read about it.

I can see both sides of this argument...
On one side the characters inside the game aren't being absurdly obtuse for not figuring this out, they are simply living their normal lives.
From John's perspective "this girl that looks a lot like a girl i banged 20 years ago could be my daughter" would be a maaaaaajor leap in logic, same for the other characters...

On the other side, why Nyx is pretending this is a mistery still? When does she intend to make the characters inside the story learn of this information?
All this while dropping clues as subtle as a mallet to the skull...
