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

[Picallol]

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.

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...

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.

I prefer John to Brooke(with Emily).
John creates tension between Emily and Melissa, between John and Santiago...
And John is much more connected to the story with Erynn, Iris.
No doubt in my mind this is the option that will give us more(and better) storylines.
Not much sauce with Brooke honestly, what it will come down to? They come from work together and hang around the living room? And we get to be the voyeur again? Not my thing.

Brooke is also uncertain to ever happen, they've worked together for years and Emily never looked at her twice.
By blocking John one may think they are helping Brooke but may end up helping Santiago... newly single, 100% ready for a trip down memory lane with Emily...
Ultimately my prefered path for Brooke would be helping her with her first guy experience, not pushing her towards my mom.

Punching Ethan or not seems to not have made a difference long term(Nyx warned this would be the case)...
Not punching we get an extra talk between father and daughter.
Punching we get well... the satisfaction of punching him, some extra dialogue with Erynn about the phone.
Punching wins!!!

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.

Hopefully we get to go with the bike to school, see all the girls reactions.

And yeah the bike is being used to facilitate lots of scenes, good thing it's easy to obtain.

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.

As someone who used to live near the beach(and hang out there a lot) i don't think his comments are that bad.
People that hang at a certain spots become well known to each other, not unlike the usual clients of a small bar.
Every once in a while comes in a new girl that catches your eye, and you simply hope that she'll show up again the next few days... and start becoming a regular of that spot, so you can do a slow get to know each other instead of bothering someone who is sun tanning/minding her own business.
As for having a BF, i think he's also hoping it's not a serious relationship.
He doesn't know Nikki(and in traditional Intertwined fashion the MC walking right by him rings no bells), so he can hope.

And yeah he's gonna be around for several paths, Nikki, Erynn, Val and the other HS girls...

huh... I thought it'd happen either way. I kinda want to choose "no" just to see if the thing with brooke happens

it prolly happens anyways but mc won't take part on it.


after completing 2 paths, lexi and erynn no big difference: on lexi she showed family cars to mc and had sex twice and on erynn path scene erynn and mc in bath, no lexi showing family cars (played with skip so not sure) BUT sexs with lexi happened. something is fucked up, just don't know what. plenty of errors about break ups with lexi, etc.

Right, don't know how I forgot about Brooke's interest in going for a ride. Wonder if that'll be the trip to Emily's place for the Entanglement watching setup that MC offered.

I've never found the Iris path all that interesting yet. If it's going to be done, it had better be to the standard of the other LIs, and to me it's just not there yet.

I prefer John to Brooke(with Emily).

Yeah, I'm still holding out hope against hope. I think after all Emily's been through she deserves one drama free relationship. Since she hasn't dated (my understanding) since Andres she deserves something simpler and to be happy. But that's just my take on her... she's sacrificed a lot for the family, including buying into a lie by Andres.

As to Santi, if you aren't on Gabi's path and don't see the picture get taken down does it still happen in the background? I don't think there's any other hint/note/comment/confirmation (aside from overheard phone conversations), other than being on her scene that their relationship is likely ended/ending. And if Santi's already abandoning/neglecting his presumed current wife, I'm not going to hold out hope for a sudden change. He does lament his little Emi, but he kind of self-inflicted (and family-inflicted) that onto himself.

For Iris it helps a lot if you try to put yourself in the headspace of the MC, don't think of her as someone you just met... think of her as your first GF, the first you've been with... the girl who "Mrs Miyagi-ed" you into sex

But yeah she needs to have more content on her own, the fact that a lot of her scenes tend to be Alexis locked hurts her.

I think they always break up(Gabi and Santi), Gabi yelling at Santi over the phone during camp always happens, Gabi in the club with Ximena, Ximena and Gabi celebrating/not celebrating at the restaurant.
All these things happen even if you never entered the Gabi path.
And of course Santiago always reminisces about "little Emi".

I'm not sure if he still texts Emily if you are not on the Gabi path (Emily dates John and no Gabi path), but i'm betting he still does.

technically she still is since they didn't break up.

 

[cxx]

mc's headaches: he fucked iris (lexi's bff) and didn't break up with her, he fucked lakayen (monroe sisters cousin) and no surprise that neither kept it casual. also if fucked mira then that will prolly come and bite ass.

Always funny to see these kind of discussions on different games. In Race for Life, a lot of people dislike/hate V(eronica) because her and MC have a pre-existing FWB relationship. It's very different case than with Iris, which was a committed relationship but still a pre-existing dynamic. In V's case, she's hoping for a more serious step in the relationship, and asks the MC for such... timing aside. In Iris' case it never really ended, so the MC has essentially been a cheat for years. And wow, there's a lot of hate for V on that game and a lot of the points made are for that very reason, that it was pre-existing relationship.

There is some potential with the Iris as a character, she just feels way too much like a side girl at this point. All the other LIs are way ahead of her in storytelling, all she really has is the one really long flashback about meeting her. And since you can't really start any sort of relationship with her, in a non-harem game, that really requires being on Lexi's path there's been nothing to take my eye off Lexi by that point. Even Elena is a much more developer character in-game, and you can't even start a relationship with her other than to break Layla's heart for nothing yet.

But Iris does one thing that none of the other LIs do. She pulls off the short hair. SHORT HAIR GANG WHERE YOU AT?

I still prefer her with long hair any day but yeah her and Mel I think pull of short hair just fine

She really does, much better than her long hair.

Gotta disagree Dess, how rare is that lol, Iris looks so much better with short hair, her long hair always looked strange to me.

His dad? Oh no. It seems that the Vader parallels fit Ethan too.

Although Ethan is the moldy, dust speck on the discount, clearance sale, not fit for charity donation, consigned to the rubbish bin version of Vader.

But you know what that means?

If Daddy Ethan is the real big bad baddie-ala-The Emperor, that means this f*cking blackmail plot won't end any time soon.

More blackmail plot means less time for boobies, drama and relationships ...

Since Val dropped her phone, do you think Ethan took the phone and will threaten to spread her intimate pics? Double blackmail? (Which could backfire on Ethan since Val and mom immediately take legal action)



Suggestions:

Gabi - Fuck her once, Reject her at training camp
Fuck her twice, don't fuck her anymore after you knock her shopping bags out of her hands

Tori - Fuck her but reject Tori after you win the race or lose the race and she rejects you

Brooke - check out Brooke while she's changing in the locker room area (minus points), don't pursue her

Iris - keep things friends only with Iris, don't like her new hair, She would still talk to you, but a lot of her content is blocked behind Lexi

Gianna - Don't check her out

Sha'Carri - Don't check her out, if you lose your race she gets disappointed, I am guessing Sha'Carri content is locked behind Val path

Lakeyn - ???? Fuck or not to fuck, She's one of the few people left in the game who might or will still talk to you

Dylan - he's always there

John - say no to John dating Emily

Darryl - Continue World War with him

School points - Be a smart ass to all teachers, and be a bad student: Adriana, Coleman, Naomi Davis

How different people have different taste.....

Gabi, keep her fucking on every way possible.
Tori, ignore her on every possible way.
Brooke, most interested in even being lesbian. Imagine threesome with MC and Emily.
Iris, I will be doing her. Whatever it takes.
Sha'Carri, why don't check her out? She looks fine to me.
Lakeyn, sure I will do her again.....

And no comments on the male characters.....


Since Val dropped her phone, do you think Ethan took the phone and will threaten to spread her intimate pics? Double blackmail? (Which could backfire on Ethan since Val and mom immediately take legal action)

About this I have no idea. But I hope, just as many other people here Ethan may suffer very much after what he is doing..... I kept on punching him. And he is still alive..... so sad.....

guys, how long is it between updates? 5 months? i want to know what haapened to Val

last one was longer than that, but it was pretty beefy.

I'll be curious to see how the story diverges depending on if Val or John intervened. The story after the Ethan/Zach scene is noticeable different if it wasn't Val. Ethan doesn't show up with his goons "bumping" into Val, and he doesn't talk about Zach wanting Val as a "complication".

If she didn't intervene, I can't imagine Ethan'll be interested in her other than for Zach.
