Knowing my luck, that's the day something breaks or the MC gets hurt during his shift. It's making something out of nothing but I would just expect this kind of deal in a small town local bar, not one in the middle of what seems to be a decently sized city.
The size of this city changes with the needs of the story :ROFLMAO: , on one hand everyone knows everyone, running into someone by coincidence happens all the time.
On the other hand... this city has a college that people move across the country for, an NBA team, the MCs mom restaurant is booked weeks/months is advance...

And yeah, it wouldn't be a surprise if something bad happens "coincidentally" with the MCs shift.
Nature of the beast, a scene where we serve beers and have no issues isn't worth showing...

that depends what law says, some it's 18 and some 21.
There's also the fact that he's not getting paid for his work.
Though that could be solved by Dylan giving him the money and the MC handing it to Gianna.

The Emily and John can be avoidable??
It's double avoidable, if you have enough Emily points and tell her you don't want her dating John then she won't date him. If you don't have enough points with Emily (because you've been perving on her) and/or you don't mind her dating John but don't want to see it then you can skip the scene when you're talking to Mel.

If you allow her to go on the date, or don't have enough points, and then decide to Skip later, she still goes on the date with John. By hitting skip, you are just skipping over Emily retelling what happened the date to Mel. She still goes on the date and sleeps with John as far as the game is concerned.

The only way to avoid her going on the date, as already mentioned above, is to get enough Emily points and tell her you aren't comfortable with it when she asks. Then the date doesn't happen at all.

what about if you don't get the motorcycle I know I didn't get the option to choose yes or no if I didn't get it but I didn't keep playing that save to find out

Never perved on Emily enough to find out. If I'm not getting the bike I'm doing it wrong. Then I can't take Erynn for a ride, nor Lexi. Val should hopefully be next, as wasn't there a conversation with her on one of the dates? I thought it was on one of her dates with MC?

Emily does mention that John asked her out while she was looking at the bikes, inside the shop, so possibly not?

I don't care what anyone says, that's a dick move in my opinion and you don't even have to watch it if you don't want to. She's a young, beautiful woman in the prime of her life and deserves to have some fun and perhaps even find love. Anyone denying that to their mother is not a nice person in my opinion.

If it turns out that the only way to get a Brooke/Emily relationship is denying John, then I'll go back and change it, but until then, I'm not denying Emily a chance at happiness. :)

Emily has 18 points or so available before the bike check (based on route) and you need 13 for the bike. Of course, Emily has some -4 swings too, so depending on how it goes you could easily end up no bike.

I've got each LI done 4 times, so my bases are covered:
  • Preferred Emily not goin on the date with John (my head canon official path):
    • Went along with the plan at the bar with John
    • Intervened to save Erynn at the bar
  • Approved Emily going on the date with John:
    • Went along with the plan at the bar with John
    • Intervened to save Erynn at the bar
I don't mind John by any means. But by the time John's opportunity presents itself I've already left the station on the mommy Brooke hope train. Those are my primary head canon saves, the John ones are others are just to see what happens with John.

Since the intervention or not-intervention have pretty much merged after returning the phone at Erynn's request, and no difference as of up to the last update, I'm personally leaning towards intervention being my head canon route.

In order to lose points, you need to take more "pervy" choices (look at her in the pool) and the such. But you are right there are opportunities to just not gain points....

Yeah what happened when I was doing the speed runs prior to the update probably was I just didn't gain points cause I never pick the pervy stuff with Emily.

She can date anyone, just not someone who I only know because I fucked his daughter, on his bike no less.

It's not technically incest, but there is a familial connection there.

Yes.

No bike,

No bike rides with Erynn and Lexi.

Val is also interested in the bike. When the MC mentions it during their first running date at the beach (pink leggings, wet t-shirt date), Val asks about it. We might be able to bring her home from a date and hello Mama Ximena (maybe).

You also lose a riding date with Iris in a future update.

You also lose a chance to bring Brooke home from work in a future update. Brooke liked the bike a lot.

(I am guessing also that Gianna and Tori might be into bikes too.)

And in a future update, Erynn might recreate your sexy moment with Iris on the bike. She was thinking about what birthday present to give to you.

Just finished a Val-Nikki route and I'm wondering: Is Mr. Donovan come off as creepy in other routes? I have a hard time thinking the guy who say "I'm still thinking about the girl I've seen a week (or more?) ago for less than 1 minute, who was with her boyfriend" will end up being a nice guy.

I might be reading too much into it (it was probably just to establish him as a rival for multiple routes?), but the scene came off as creepy.

Conspiracy take: maybe he's the scout for Ethan. Being a 'hot' teacher that has every girl at school drooling about him, he could pick out the hot ladies and put them in contact with Ethan for a 'modelling' gig. If they think the girl could be problematic they let them hook up with Mr Donovan and record the sex to blackmail them later into submission.

The video Ethan shows MC he says "Look at her expression and listen carefully. You can see the exact moment her hymen ruptures."
I always found this odd, unless they had sex on the ground-floor with the windows uncovered / open i find it hard to believe they could have taken a video with sound by themselves without his knowledge. Felt to me like he's involved somehow...
