VN Ren'Py Our Red String [Ch.13.3.4] [Eva Kiss]

[Zara Scarlet]

The point was you wanted a proof that Robert's actions depend on whether Lena sleeps with him or not. And it's right there, in the game script. He also has, evidently, some degree of impact on how long Lena keeps her job. It does make a difference whether Lena gets to work for a while longer or not, as a result of Robert's action or lack thereof. At least in the discussed context of Robert having impact on Lena's ability to keep working (if for a few weeks longer) at the restaurant.


You might view it as perfectly reasonable, i view it as bullshit excuse. "Samantha overheard the chief of staff isn't pleased with the trouble you've caused" isn't some sort of state secret, and no one would give two shits about such reveal. Robert isn't being cautious, he's just withholding the info to get Lena where he wants -- to the bar where he then tries to get her drunk instead of actually tell her the thing he was oh-so-cautious not to reveal at work.


I don't like Robert based on him demonstrating himself to be a shit character who tries to pressure Lena into something she has repeatedly told him she isn't interested in, and on his displayed attitude of the "nice guy" who is in reality anything but. Neither Perry nor Wade act in the manner Robert does, so i definitely disagree these three are somehow on the same level. Perry is clueless and socially stunted, and Wade is lazy af (potentially depressed, idk) while Robert is genuine creep.

You say that the proof is there, But where does Lena say in the game that she's being blackmailed by Robert? Never mind say it, where does she even hint it? After all she's the person you're claiming Robert is attempting to blackmail. Wouldn't she be making a big deal about that? Somewhere?

Lena is an intelligent girl. Much more intelligent than Robert is. There's no way he could do that, without her realising it?
Now we may have gone all around the houses, discussing all the hypothetical reasoning behind your belief that Robert is a scumbag, because he effectively blackmails Lena, or at least attempts to, to get her on a date and hopefully into bed. But what it all boils down to, is where is the real evidence? When does Lena say that he was blackmailing her, to take advantage of her, as you claim? Where does she even give the briefest indication, that that's what she believed Robert was doing?

She doesn't outright say it, because it really don't need to be said. It's pretty clearly coersion, or at the very least tit for tat, that anyone that has gone through anysort of workplace sexual harrasment training for a job should understand.

Robert is the dried-up turd in the kitty litter. Lola is the best pussycat

Seems like that

I understand Cindy may be based on Nancy Ace and Emma on Abella danger, Robert is based on Mr. Potato Head because he easily falls apart when he falls to the ground?

Not Wrong Though

Robert is the most unloved character in this game. I reckon the last time Robert was in peoples thoughts this much, was when he had that fight with Ian. This will probably be the last time anyone writes more than a few paragraphs about him. This is his last hurrah.

Don't you think he looks a bit like Ron Jeremy? Just add some weight around the waist and he's a dead ringer.

In other words she doesn't say it. It's just a hypothesis, which is not proof.

Robert is just dildo with legs for sex scenes in early game. Nothing more. It is a content device.
Like Doug was for Ashley in previous game.

You just reminded me of the news I read some time ago.

Maybe, but he's a dildo that's now getting talked about

That reference reminded me of Lena describing Jeremy on the bed. Wait is that Bianca in your profile pic?

But it's not a hypothesis, it is clearly coersion. Robert clearly says, I heard something about you from a manager or whatever, I'm not going to tell you unless you go on a date with me. If I saw that happening to a coworker, I wouldn't need them to come up to me and say "Man, I really feel like Robert is blackmailing me into going on a date with him." to know that what Robert is doing is not okay. I could easily take that to an HR department on my own to have a case started against him.

Not everything has to be outright stated or thought for it to be true. An amount of subtlety is always appreciated, and this whole discussion about Robert's actions isn't even that subtle. It's made even worse, if Lena does acquiese to getting a drink, he then tries to kiss her without her giving any indication that she has feelings for Robert. The attempted kiss always happens, whether Lena ends up showing interest or not. So it's another one of those unequivocal truths that Robert will always try and force himself on Lena, it then simply becomes up to the player if she accepts his kiss or rejects him.

But in general there is nothing to discuss, there is no news about development, no previews, the last update was a long time ago.

Same for Jeremy, content for IR kink, but his personality is not something outstanding. Just a horndog who wants to fuck everything that moves, even behind Ian’s back. In general, there is no worthy male alternative for Lena; only Ian can be good. This is sad.
Yep, this is Bianca, my artwork.

So if you put Robert and Jeremy together, you almost get Ron Jeremy.

I understand, Robert is a Mr. Potato Head vibrating dildo, when it vibrates too much it falls apart inside and that's why Lena is never satisfied with it?

People talk about Hitler too, doesn't make it good.

Yeah, it's sad for Lena. Mike looked like a good future partner for like 2-3mins before the "He has GF already" bomb dropped.

Yep, this is Bianca, my artwork.

Holy, looks really good. I thought I'd seen your name before on BADIK subreddit. Big fan. I don't know if it was you or someone else who posted but those artwork looked great.

Do you really have to be so literal? Here's me trying to generate some interest in the most boring character in the game, and everyone has to take it so seriously.
