VN Ren'Py Our Red String [Ch. 12.3 Beta] [Eva Kiss]

[SearingFive]

Ivy seems to be interested in Wade for some bizarre reason. And Wade was pretty much blown away by her pics. So maybe he'll get lucky with her?

I think Cindy will end up with Ian, Axel or some other guy. She wants to live the life of a model, and I don't think that's compatible anymore with Wade's more sedentary approach to life

Ivy was interested in Wade because of Cindy's involvement with Axel which threatened Ivy's Wildcats recruitment. To me, it looked like she was studying her rival and planning her moves. Pretty sure Ivy will play her games just like she played with Jeremy/Louise.

We do get the options for Wade to make him follow his dream or do what Cindy says to him. Cindy is a free-spirited girl and the modelling gig is just amplifying that. Wade pretty much would have to choose his dream or Cindy later.

Does anyone else think, that Mike's girlfriend could be Gillian? She's been seen at Blazer a few times apparently, and it certainly would put the cat amongst the pigeons, if Lena is hooking up with Mike, and Ian subsequently succumbs to Gillian again ( which surely is going to be a possibility?). The only thing that gives me doubts about that, is Jeremy. If Gillian was going to the club, surely he would know if she were Mike's girlfriend, and he'd have given Ian the heads-up? So I'm not so sure about this theory now.

From the looks of it, we are being given the notion that Gillian might be with Mike. We do get the option at the train station for Ian to harbour his feelings for Gillian, if he does then he might succumb to her again. Jeremy has always been vague with revelations. The first thing that came out from him when Ian confronted him about it, he said he was looking out for him as he saw Ian's downward spiral firsthand. Maybe he is looking out for him genuinely and doesn't want to create a drama between Mike and Ian.

Does anyone else think, that Mike's girlfriend cold be Gillian? She's been seen at Blazer a few times apparently, and it certainly would put the cat amongst the pidgeons, if Lena is hooking up with Mike, and Ian subsequently succumbs to Gillian again ( which surely is going to be a possibility?). The only thing that gives me doubts about that, is Jeremy. If Gillian was going to the club, surely he would know if she were Mike's girlfriend, and he'd have given Ian the heads-up? So I'm not so sure about this theory now.

If Gillian isn't Mike's girlfriend, then it's purely shock factor because it makes no sense for her not to be. It could not be more painfully obvious. All the clues are there. Similarly, the clues were also there with Cherry being the girl Axel cheated with.

The other character I dont really play is Mark, another import from GGGB ( I think Ashley has sex with him once or twice, and Eva starts dating his friend, but he disappears). He seems to have just been introduced as a 'milder' dating option for Holly, till Ivy moves her on to bigger and better things. He's another character I just think is too bland, and since he also seems to be optional with Mike, I've never been tempted to try him out.

Mark was a one night stand for Ash in GGGB, and wasn't supposed to have any more character than that. It was also a way for Eva to get the blonde bimbo look without inviting her to Tyrone's pool party, she hooks up with Mark's friend and Ash fucks Mark. So he of course doesn't have any personality in ORS either. Mark and the Landwhale I picture more as just stand ins for any random stranger than proper cameos since neither play a significant role in either game unlike Nat, Jack, or Jess.

It also looks like Jack is going to become another hook-up option, interchangeable with the Axel content. I just wonder which version of Jack this is? In one ending he becomes disillusioned, bitter and twisted, when his nightclub fails, and in another he ends up dating Nat. But it doesn't seem to be either of them. Admittedly I don't think I ever played all the Jack endings, so it could be one of those. I can't see it being the one with Ashley, since something tells me this is the world where Ashley becomes a top pornstar. I wonder if Ashley will make a cameo appearance before the end of this game?

Jack doesn't actually ever date Nat. Nat has an open relationship with Damian, and if she is introduced to Jack they become regular fuck buddies. If Ash has a romantic relationship with Jack, they have frequent threesomes with Nat. As far as where Ashley is at, it depends entirely on Lena's early decisions. If Lena doesn't have sex with either Robert or Mike, and rejects Seymour Ash and Jess are married. Other than that we're not sure what became of Ash, logically it would make sense for Ash to be with Jack, Eva, or Eric if Lena avoids Robert and Mike, but succumbs to Seymour; since then Jess marries Dave in that case.

Does anyone else think, that Mike's girlfriend cold be Gillian? She's been seen at Blazer a few times apparently, and it certainly would put the cat amongst the pidgeons, if Lena is hooking up with Mike, and Ian subsequently succumbs to Gillian again ( which surely is going to be a possibility?). The only thing that gives me doubts about that, is Jeremy. If Gillian was going to the club, surely he would know if she were Mike's girlfriend, and he'd have given Ian the heads-up? So I'm not so sure about this theory now.

That's been the running theory for awhile now. It would explain why Gillian is back in town, why we haven't seen or heard anything about Mike's girlfriend other than she exists.

Completely unrelated to Zara's post. I think a dope cameo would be Jolene. I liked her as both a character and her look a lot in GGGB, and was disappointed that she was limited to two appearances. Really wanted her to have some role in Ash's journey if she decided to pursue a fame route, but alas.

 

[bonerland]

question, is there any indication that this game will feature a bimbo route like GGGB?

It seems like Alison is going down that path if you have a casual but passionate relationship with her.

 

[Mtmtmt007]

Outside of the two Ian relationship routes I play (one faithful and one not) where there is no option to be with Robert, even if I wanted to. On the other route I play Lena isn't really settling for anyone, she's just playing the field for now, and Ian is on his Chad route, so he's doing pretty much the same. I did think of playing a lesbian route, but since I can play pretty much all the lesbian content on the other three, I decided it would be a waste of time. From a certain point Robert seems to become interchangeable with Mike, and since I really wanted to play Mike, Robert became obsolete so I decided to drop him early.

The other character I dont really play is Mark, another import from GGGB ( I think Ashley has sex with him once or twice, and Eva starts dating his friend, but he disappears). He seems to have just been introduced as a 'milder' dating option for Holly, till Ivy moves her on to bigger and better things.

So I'm not so sure about this theory now.

There is new reaction from Jeremy in final version of prologue when they are talking about that evan Mike fucked ivy ian asks Jeremy that didn't Mike had gf and Jeremy has worried face and says that maybe that they broke up I think that this confirms that Mike is gillian's bf and Jeremy knows that but as always he is being a shitty friend

Whether Ian is involved with her or not, she is going that route.

 

[| Vee |]

...Jeremy is definitely the kind of guy that doesn't want to get tied up in a girlfriend, looking more for casual hookups, but he also strikes me as a guy that wouldn't knowingly want to ruin a relationship either...

Are you sure you write that correct?
You really didn't forget IanxLena, DID YOU?
You want me to go down this road AGAIN?

Seriously, WTF are you guys reading? Or are you guys UNABLE to grasp the story?
I'm baffled at the audacity of people who are constantly trying to project Jeremy as GOOD GUY!
WHY are you guys putting veil upon his actions?

#WTF

 

[SearingFive]

Jeremy thinks his sexual tension with Ivy is so palpable. Simmer down 'meat stick' LMAO!! If Jeremy ever gets cucked he will be that guy who's clueless asf to what is going on behind his back. Time for some Ian/Ivy while Jeremy thinks he is so close to scoring her.

 

[SearingFive]

Do you guys think this comment was posted by Stan? Later at the cafe, he unknowingly admitted that he pays really close attention to Lena's profile.

Yeah this has been a theory for a while,they are some hints in the game and also,everyone seems to know each other in this city so Mike dating Gillian is not a weird possibility.
The problem with this is that when the reveal happens,almost no one is going to be surprised about the "twist".

That's what I thought initially. But if she's been going to Blazer, you would have thought she would be hanging out with Mike there. Which then begs the question, surely Jeremy would have seen them together, and he would have told Ian about it? He hasn't. So that doesn't make any sense, if she really is Mike's girlfriend.

If that's the case. Then why hasn't Jeremy brought it up with Ian? He said he'd seen Gillian at Blazer, why wouldn't he also say she was Mike's girlfriend? Because Ian has met Mike in the past.

Ian would definitely want to know the guy, who took his ex-girlfriend away from him.

Maybe. But I think he would tell him about it. He tells Ian that Lena is playing around, when they're actively dating. So he can't be that concerned, about that causing Ian to go into a downward spiral? If he can tell Ian about Lena, then surely he would be even less concerned about telling him about Gillian being Mike's girlfriend?

Lena/Ian were going out recently and their relationship is still fresh. So maybe he felt like telling him about Lena's infidelity; before he caught real feelings like he had for Gillian. He had the longest relationship tenure with Gillian. Of course, Jeremy should've told him about Gillian too, but now we are floating with ifs and maybes. First love, a long relationship, and then turning into exes hits harder than a new ongoing relationship. What's the point of bringing the topic about an ex who has moved on? Why bring him down and make him second-guess his feelings towards Gillian? Then again, it depends on so many variables. For me, Jeremy did the right thing by not bringing up the topic of Gillian and talking about Lena's infidelity before the relationship got serious. It's my opinion. Alison the 'baby trapper' is the one to blame.

 

[MF_DOOM]

Are we talking about Gillian being Mikes girlfriend again?
EK kind of likes the "oh shit" moments for ORS, it would not be so dramatic if most of the fan base think that.

Aye, we were talking about that cheating ex. IKR!! if we actually got Gillian to be Mike's GF the oomph moment will not be there at all.

 

[BlandChili]

The drama of Mike being with Gillian is also kinda player-dependent. If you don't fuck Mike as Lena and don't play Ian as stuck in the past, pining for his ex, what does it matter that they're together?

 

[ffive]

Whether Ian is involved with her or not, she is going that route.

That's... not entirely accurate. I mean, it is, but there's more to it -- Alison's transition to blonde/bimbo is based on some conditions, and all of those conditions are about Ian:

default alison_blonde = 0                 # Alison goes for a change of style (if alison_jeremy_3some == 2 or ian_alison_dom or ian_alison_dating == False) ---> 3- ian compliments / 2- ian likes it / 1- ian doesn't like it

Ian can also explicitly encourage it:

        "{image=icon_charisma.webp}I like your bimbo look" if alison_blonde > 1 and ian_charisma > 6:
            i "Well, I for one love your bimbo look..."
            a "A bimbo? That's what I look like to you?"
            i "Blonde hair, tall, big boobs, classy and very sexy... Yeah, you look like a bimbo alright."
            a "So that's what you like, huh? I never knew..."
            if ian_chad > 4:
                i "I didn't either, until you started to turn into one. And now all I want is to crush your pussy so bad."
            else:
                i "I didn't either, until you started to turn into one. And now all I want is to fuck you so bad..."
            a "Look at you... Seems I really turn you on, don't I?"
            i "Wanna come and check?"
            $ alison_blonde = 3

Which then begs the question, surely Jeremy would have seen them together, and he would have told Ian about it? He hasn't. So that doesn't make any sense, if she really is Mike's girlfriend.

Jeremy has been very cagey about telling Ian anything involving Gillian, because he knows how the breakup affected Ian and is afraid of a relapse.

By pure coincidence am sure, Jeremy is also very cagey about saying anything about Mike's girlfriend. Which, wouldn't you agree, makes very little sense if that girlfriend is someone random with no ties to the rest of the cast..?

 

[MF_DOOM]

Might be because he knows nothing about her or he doesn't care.
