VN Ren'Py Origin Story [v0.7.0] [JDOR]

[oieb]

I don't wanna bother you people with my tendency to overanalyze the pseudoscience of superpowers, but last time I found your inputs about Steel's durability and weight quite interesting, so here I come again. Not about Ruth, let's leave that as it is with another hero's quote: "You weigh a little more than a hundred and eight." And done.
It's about Lucia. What are the possible fallouts of getting her powers? I mean, I don't think she's actually stopping time in the most technical sense, because that should be impossible if she's not traveling or vibrating at the speed of light, wich she isn't, 'cause she's aging (also, 'cause it breaks the rules of relativity). So, I'm thinking she could be slowing time down so much that it feels like stopping time: let's say 1 second in "normal time" correspods to 100 seconds in "Lucia's time. She could be doing so by speeding up the vibration of her cells, like Flash does. But that requires a lot of energy, and I mean a lot, so I reckon her body would have to adapt her matabolism accordingly, like Flash. I'm saying her cells should work 100 times faster or so, so they'd die faster too (since I'm betting they're not protected by Speed Force). If so, she's aging way more than anyone knows. Like, she stops time for 24 hs, and her body ages 3 months.
Her hair grows way too quickly, maybe this is why. Everyone thinks she spends to much time freezing time, but maybe she doesn't; if so, getting her power could be very dangerous, 'cause unless MC can counteract these effects with Meri's power (wich is unclear) he's on his way to be Trent Cappa.
Yes, I know there should be more relativistic effects to consider, but this is what I've got so far. What do you think?

Is there is no walkthrough mod for this

You don't really need one rn, Most of the choices are either super obvious or have immediate effects you can see

Agreed. The only choice I can think of so far that has noticeable effects later down the line is who to have Isabella create for that experiment, the movie star or herself. If you choose the movie star you get a pretty good scene later on while choosing Isabella has no payoff yet. Though it probably will lead to something else eventually I'd guess.

Jacq has confirmed picking Isabella for the experiment will eventually have a payoff, but not exactly what that payoff will be.

The only other major branching I can think of for now is whether or not you decline Moonsong the first time (but this merges back together around Ch 5 and only is minor dialogue differences after that) and which path to take for Lucia (normal or manipulate). So far, the Lucia choice is mostly scene variations, but according to dev logs Ch 8 should have a big character growth payoff for people on the 'normal' path with her. And Jacq has said there will be more branching as the story continues, so eventually a WT might be useful. But there's no 'love points' or anything like that you need to manage.

Nothing that the good "old" URM won't solve by changing a variable if need to make a split save playthrough in the case of lazy people like me that don't want to load an older save just to make a different path on that choice.

You can definitely do this, but it's actually several variables you need to change if you want to swap paths properly.

I think my dick just grew back on the inside.... She should have aged 10 years by now...

Honestly, I wouldn't bother thinking too heavily about this. We have powers that literally dream the future, shrink people to fractions of their size, create clones with actual mass from nowhere, or allow flight without obvious lift or propulsion, so it's pretty safe to assume that powers can break what we understand about normal physics and/or work in unexpected ways.

 

[JJ1960]

It's about Lucia.

I posted awhile back that gaining Meri's power should offset the downside to Lucia's power (assuming Meri is telling the truth about what her power actually is). As far as how Lucia's power works, it's a localized time control. She's not moving at relativistic speeds or vibrating molecules. The closest analog would be the Star Trek episode where the planet has people who are sped up (the hot alien chick of the week gets Kirk to drink some water with the chemical that does that so he can be her boyfriend). Lucia just spends a lot of time in her time-paused state which is why her hair grows more quickly relative to other people in the normal time world.

Correct and it is not that hard since path detected pop ups tell me what I need to change as I play. I guess I put on the singular as convenience on the phrase but I could use the plural too.

Can you tell me which election unlocks the new sex scenes with the redhead and her Asian girlfriend? I passed the update but didn't see these scenes.

At the Sisterhood HQ when you do the experiment in the cells with Isabellas projections you have to choose the movie star, Anna instead of Isabella.

I'm 95% sure Arwen Vonda isn't Asian (her name is of Welsh and German origin), but what they said is mostly correct about the requirements for the Anna/Arwen/Evelyn scenes. You do however also have to be on Evelyn's path, and if you want the foursome scene and not the alternative cockquean scene, you need to have Lesbian content On and allow Evelyn to have sex with Arwen.

You mean "Wink of an eye", right? Yes, I know the episode. And I've asked myself how did the hiperacceleration work. All I can theorize is that their technology would speed you up while protecting your cells.
My question was simply this: is it a possible fallout (in the future) or is it too far-fetched? Some things caught my attention: 1. Lucia says she doesn't know how her powers work (that could be pretext used by the Dev to break the laws of physics). 2. MC seems too preocupied about aging while hanging out with her, even when he spends just a couple hours in "Lucia's time" (it's weird 'cause doing so every day would only add 1 year to his life after a decade or so, so I thought the Dev might be prepping us for something there). 3. We don't know for sure how long she's been using her powers and since aging is only noticeable after a few years, I'd say all bets are off.

psh... she doesn't slow down time, she just steps out of it... easy, all problems soved
