VN Ren'Py Completed Leap of Faith [Ch. 8 v1.0.3] [DriftyGames]

[Raptus Puellae]

I wanted to thank Ellordrings for my awesome Cece signature...

 

[MrFriendly]

Well maybe she actually did all of those things for you, well probably except the "fuck you" part, she probably did that for herself. I have no idea what the explanation could be but I doubt it is that she is a bitch and one day she decided to ghost you for 3 years just for the sake of it. As I said, if the explanation is good enough I have no problem forgiving her, if it´s not she can go fuck herself.


Well... It´s not like they´re all perfect.
Kira- Obviously something going on with her, some people said that she is married, I don´t know about that but I don´t think she is as nice as she seems
Robin- Fucks you despite knowing that Kira is into you. I don´t know a lot about a girl code but I don´t think this is cool
Cece- She tried to kill herself multiple times from what I understand, so she might be a bit crazy. I get that something bad happened to her but still. Just to clarify she is my main girl. (btw I am pretty sure they don´t let you just walk out of the hospital a day after you tried to commit suicide. Don´t they just lock you up in psychiatric hospital?)
Linda,Lexi- Nothing wrong so far, except Linda is kinda not pretty

Steph - gone too long, we weren't at the marrying stage or married. Turns out she has a husband so she doesn't need the MC any more.
Kira - could be family issues, money issues, etc. Just met, not like she should instantly tell us everything
Robin - Yeah, it was sketchy of her to fuck the MC. But she knows Kira better than the MC, you had one date with Kira, and it is a friends with benefits situation (supposedly).
Cece - She has problems, the MC has problems. I think her situation (homeless in a big city) exacerbated her depression. We're all broken in different ways. (And actually most hospitals have varying rules when it comes to mental health patients. Usually they can only hold an adult, after a suicide attempt, for 24 hours at most and then the adult has to choose to voluntarily go to a mental hospital).
Linda - Has ass for days and "break up" regret. But she is definitely close to last on my list.
Lexi - Hot, too busy for a non-celeb

My list: Cece, Lexi, Kira, Robin, Linda, the courier girl, celibacy, Steph.

So lets say she had a "good" reason to ghost the MC in the first place, what ever that reason is.
It seems to me to be totally invalidated the moment she drags you back to the house she clearly shares with some dude she married while ghosting you all the while not giving any explanation at all.

either the "good reason" still stand and thus she should have kept avoiding you instead of trying to screw you.
or
The "good reason" no longer matters and she can tell you about it in the more than ample time she seems to have had both while she dragged you to her house and after she unblocked you on social media.

she can't have it both ways, particularly since she seems to live walking distance from the MC's apartment.

Ok.. So when she brings you to her apartment you have 2 choices, to give in or to stop her.
If you try to stop her, she says that there is plenty of time to talk afterwards. After you talk some more she say she would have told you if she could. English is not my native language but that means that 3 years ago she couldn´t tell you right? But now she can? Maybe i am wrong about that. But you walk out on her so she can´t.
If you give in, she doesn´t have time to explain herself because her husband comes in and I don´t think she expected him to be there.
And now she is trying to contact you through the social media, saying that she still loves you. She said that you´ll survive the fall from 2 story window but you won´t survive her husband. So now, her husband is home, maybe she can´t contact you personally because of the same reason she left 3 years ago.

In 3 years she never had a moment to open a social media app and say: "I was cheating on my husband with you and he found out. Sorry" or whatever the reason would be? If she wasn't married 3 years ago that means she moved on from her relationship with the MC and got married. So why shouldn't the MC move on now?
From the Club to her house there must have been some time yet she didn't tell the MC anything (either too busy making out or awkward silence).
Instead of trying to have sex she could have explained herself.
Instead of letting the MC walk out she could have said, "stop, please, I can explain" - she goes with throwing a shoe.
If she was cheating 3 years ago and is willing to cheat now what makes the MC think he is special enough to be the "only" one besides Melvin?

I still want to know if Chris knows more than he's told us. I feel like the MC is going to have his life disrupted a lot.

 

[EZ8lt]

I'm surprised that one mentioned so far Linda's question if MC is in contact with the high school douche or not, was kinda fishy. There must be some story there.

Again, that´s the whole point of what I am trying to say, maybe she couldn´t before but her situation somehow changed so now she can.

Yeah but I don´t think this is her fault. This is more like the devs fault. She didn´t have time to explain during the walk because dev timeskipped to her apartment. Maybe she wouldn´t explain anyway but we don´t know that.

Instead of trying to have sex she could have explained herself.

Yea but MC didn´t want an explanation, he wanted to fuck her.

Instead of letting the MC walk out she could have said, "stop, please, I can explain" - she goes with throwing a shoe.

That´s actually a good point. Maybe she was too angry because you tried to walk out on her? That´s a not a very good explanation but I don´t have any other.

 

[CrazyRabbit]

Maybe she's just checking if MC is available
Then again, she seems to be hiding something ; can't say about what though (coming to town with Cece without any clothes or plan, etc...)

 

[darth_hiruma]

Maybe she's just checking if MC is available

Wait what? But that douche she asked about is a guy and MC is not gay.

 

[KinkierThanThou]

All I know is that I wanted the throw the damn shoe right back at her. Why the fuck did he take it with him anyway?

Yeah, it all boils down to "story requires that it happen this way" which I get. It's still fun to speculate. I will be interested to see what the dev team comes up with for an explanation. Truth is, even if it is a good one, I've already got my heart set on Cece or Lexi or Kira. If Kira hadn't been unavailable recently I would have been all in with her. But that lack of communication opened the door for Lexi and Cece (in order of appearance).

Yeah, I didn't like the fact that Linda asked if the MC had any contact with Matt the douche and he just happens to show up.

I was trying to figure this out. Is the city they are in the MC's hometown? If so why didn't Linda try and get in touch with him when she moved there? Except she moved with nothing so did she run away from some situation? Why can't she contact her parents? Or Cece's parents? I am fairly sure that most parents would rather give their kids some money than have them living on the streets. What is Linda's reason for being there?

I hope we don't end up in a situation where all of the women are in abusive relationships with other men and we have to choose who to save.

 

[EZ8lt]

That's just simply not true, from the first moment that club scene plays out, especially if the MC says they need to talk. She doesn't even try to explain anything.

I tried to explain that here.

Originally the game didn't give you an option, you just fucked her and jumped out the window. They updated the game so that there is a choice.

You can only delay once before the scene ends with a quarrel and she throws a shoe at you (letting her horniness make her decisions).



Honestly, I don't really care what she says to my MC there's nothing that she can possibly tell him that will excuse three years of ghosting and blocking him on social media apps.

 

[CrazyRabbit]

Wait what? But that douche she asked about is a guy and MC is not gay.

Ha, maybe she tought he changed side since HS
But no, I meant checking his jealousy or if he's gonna ask about her situation and then she'll ask his without seeming too interested or desperate. Dunno, seems farfetched even to me but since I don't understand women in real life ; surely it's the same in-game

Yeah, what a coincidence. And the douche didn't hesitate in smacking MC without a care in the world. How did he recognize MC so quickly from afar while even Linda had trouble because of the grey hair....
Something's not right....
The story of both girls is weird.... I hope so too, I want to save them all ;no matter if we can only end up with one but making life good for each of them is the ultimate goal

Yeah, I really really hope that the dev's admiration for Acting Lessons doesn't mean that all of these women have some serious problem going on and the MC can only help two of them and then the player has to choose to save woman A or woman B. It won't endear any of us to the dev if that is the plan.

Now that is all meaningless speculation this early in the game. However I hope that we can help all of the people in the game in an altruistic manner, break some hearts because of who we choose, but not doom someone to death.

At least we're not caught by surprise. Things are heavy pretty early here. In AL, Heavy shits suddenly hit the fan late game.

True but it would make me avoid playing more of Drifty's games if all of the women end up having miserable lives except for the one we choose to be with (not saying that is where we are heading at all). I know games, especially porn games, aren't realistic but it would be nice to have a situation where we could help improve the lives of those around us and not have to fear that if we don't choose someone they will die or stay in an abusive relationship, etc.

Yep I get it. I play BaDIK and I'm paranoid at every choice.

Right there with you. I am scared that DPC is going to fuck us with a splintery wooden spoon and we aren't going to see it coming until it's in too deep.

 

[Sulring Durgul]

Maybe she was too angry because you tried to walk out on her?

Now that would be ironic, since it would seem she did abandon him out of the blue two years ago...
