VN Ren'Py Our Red String [Ch.13.3.6] [Eva Kiss]

[SearingFive]

I know lena thinks its an art and i dont have an issue with that, but the men looking at her dont think that way, they wanna get their hands on her badly. And my playthrough Lena is devoted to Ian as the only man in her life, so she avoids getting naked in front of other men as much as possible. hmm....kinda a way to protect her from eyes which have bad intentions for her if you get what im trying to say...

They can look all they want, but they can't touch. Meanwhile, Seymour devoted Lena is a gone case. I'd not be surprised if she's thrown away by Seymour for a younger girl later in the game.

Is there a real Cuck route for anyone besides Lena? Hers is great and all but is there any cuck routes? I saw a couple of options for Minerva but they are more Mommy fetish focused

For a while to me it looked like all of Ian's LI would have a cuck route.
Allison ED and then the Jeremy threesome where you don't participate.
Cindy's Modeling gigs where another man undresses her in front of Ian, then touching her.
Gillian obviously
Holly seems ready to be a slut at the drop of a hat.
I don't play with Cherry or Emma

But none of these paths go ANYWHERE! But I might just be looking for cuck shit in every scene...

 

[Hungover00]

Promotion is done for now. Book contest, MMA, Mayoral election, Battle of the bands, Billy's arc, Mike collab. Is there anything left?

We still don't know his salary after the promotion, which I'm quite curious about.

 

[Lolicon Kami]

Isn't Holly living with some relative at the moment?

I don't remember if Holly lived alone or with her parents or another relative.

Lives with her parents who grounded her for taking birth control pills....time to move out and live with Ian

(Spoilers for latest update)

Yeah, we just got a hint that it rose significantly in between his monologue but by how much, we don't know.

 

[MilesEdgeworth]

Im still not happy about the fact that Lena couldn't turn down jeremy for sending that dick pick. At least say hi or something before doing that, yeesh.

 

[OWSam000]

Does the trinity relationship(trinity=2) only happen when Ian and Lena are a couple?

 

[Jplays512]

Ian can be with either Holly or Lena. It does not happen when Holly and Lena are together but with no Ian.

 

[OWSam000]

Ian can be with either Holly or Lena. It does not happen when Holly and Lena are together but with no Ian.

I mean I always get trinity=1(just threesome sex, no threeway relationship) if Ian and Lena is in causal relationship even when Ian chose to develop further in relationship with Lena in beach house, it is still the same. So I wonder what is the key point if the two variables 'gillian stop' and 'Ian go with Holly' are already done. Just want to know what lead to trinity=2 instead of trinity=1.

 

[Socrambus]

I wonder where Ian will move after his fight with Perry. Afaik Jeremy is homeless so that is out. Maybe take over Louise's room when the incel finally kicks her out? Live with Cinders if he is on that path?

Oooh, I forgot about Alison! That broad will be happy if this happens lol

On Alison's path she already proposes getting a place together and Ian can accept if he's on the love path, say he will think about it or refusing because he wants to live alone. It has been heavily hinted for a while that Ian wants to stop being roommates with Perry and almost all of his circle have living issues.

• Alison lives with her parents and has been bitching about it since the beginning of the game.
• Emma is about to be evicted during this latest update.
• Cindy has the extra space without Wade but I guess her financial situation is about the same as when she was living with jobless Wade.
• Holly lives with her religious parents and is even grounded during the latest update when they discover she's taking birth control pills. She should have some decent savings from her book and job.
• Cherry has her own place and no problems I can remember. But I guess she could also be an alternative.
• Even Wade could end up being an alternative if Perry and Emma get together.

Exactly this. This update was the big setup for Ian to finally move out and start something with his LI of choice, excepting Lena oddly enough. I imagine that him moving out will be the B plot for the next MMA fight, since there probably won't be much story to the fight itself unless it ends up against Mike.

How many rounds are there to the tournament, have we ever been told?

Is there prize money? And I always agreed that Mike was a likely opponent, but I forget if there was any in-game evidence, or if it was all extrapolation of themes and likely character roles.

 

[XVGuil]

They would have fought, but Lena stopped it. I think it was the right decision at the time. It made Axel more formidable, and be wary about him. At the next encounter, I want to see a no-holds-barred street fight with that man and where Ian automatically overrides Lena's pleas and doesn't gives a flying fuck. Axel_hurt variable, we need you more than ever!

Axel spanked content when?

 

[Hungover00]

Didn't the Ian/Axel confrontation outside of the club have two variations? In both, Axel goes to push Ian away, and iirc in one he can stumble, but the other (athletic and/or fit) Ian knocks his arm away and holds firm.

Axel being a photographer and hanging out with models all day seems like the type of guy that works out to build pretty muscles. Ian's been learning to fight. Hopefully that will counter the weight and reach differences. Especially if he can get in Axel's head. I'd love if Ian messed up his elbow/broke his arm so Axel can't hold his camera properly for months on end.

As far as I know, we have not been told. I've always assumed three rounds.

There is prize money to be won. A lot of people theorized that Mike would be some hidden "boss" of the MMA tournament; and then EK went back and added him in just before the first fight Ian participates in, which all but confirms there is going to be some form of confrontation between Ian and Mike at some point.

 

[Geigi]

Damn... As much as I don't like Axel, I wouldn't want something like that to happen to him. Ian to broke Axel's arm to not be able to work is messed up. I prefer to see them at the MMA tournament fighting fair and square.

Non training Ian would fall down. Mike stumbles. Chad Ian(3 or more) will be more confident when talking to Axel and will be more confrontational.

Sadly, Axel and Ian can't fight in MMA in the same bracket because of their weight difference. It's going to be a street fight.

Unless it was changed, it gets conveyed through a dialogue by Wen early on. It was said there are 3 preliminary round fights. As in: you can lose one, win two and you´d likely still go through to the elimination phase of the tournament. That should mean probably 5 fights total, at least. Price money also confirmed, the exact amount, I don´t remember if was mentioned. Don´t think it was huge.

As for Mike: speculation, likely driven by potential Gillian-arc (personally still don´t think it´s him) but we have no idea really, other than he´s the only named npc confirmed to be in it so far and roughly same weight class as buff Ian? Maybe there´s even going to be 2 routes, one where you fight him and one where you don´t? Edit: Forgot to mention that there´s obviously also a possible conflict with him if Lena is on his path, while with Ian. Maybe that´s where the 2 possible different outcomes kick in.

Yeah, their fight will escalate sooner or later. It's inevitable whenever they are in the same place, they always start arguing.
