VN Ren'Py Our Red String [Ch.14.1.4 Beta] [Eva Kiss]

[Lord Bradley]

Lena might be one of the hottest AVN girls ever.

Buddy, she's not even the hottest in this game.

 

[IlikebeingaDIK]

even if you start a relationship with louise, having low friendship points with her still makes her want lena as mistress.

Consistent with the character.

 

[ffive]

Could you elaborate more on this please? I tried couple of variations in Lena, but I think I largely play the same way with her, my real variations happen in Ian's POV's.

At least on Trinity path, after learning about the party Lena monologues that, although Holly is busy with some work-related stuff this weekend, she could maybe at least invite Ian to come and attend this party, since it's apparently a pretty open affair.

fake edit: here's the exact quotes:

        if ian_lena_couple or holly_trinity > 1:
//...
            if ian_cuck < 2 and lena_cheating != 2:
                if holly_trinity > 1:
                    "Maybe it was cutting it close, but I could still ask them to come to tomorrow's party... Though I knew Holly was busy this weekend."
                    "But Ian... If random people were going to be there, why not him too?"
                    "I drifted into sleep thinking about how warm his embrace felt when we lay together in bed, and how much I longed to be like that with both of them again soon..."
                else:
                    "Maybe it was cutting it close, but I could still ask him to come to tomorrow's party..."
                    "If random people were going to be there, why not Ian too?"
                    if ian_lena_crisis == "forgive":
                        "Maybe I didn't deserve it... but oh, how I longed to be back in his arms..."
                    else:
                        "I drifted into sleep thinking about how warm his embrace felt when we lay together in bed, and how much I longed to be like that with him again soon..."

Anyways any thoughts on Sonia? Smash or pass?

I've done worse and they're usually the best. They also smell the worst but thats merely a... Detail.

As in Ian might show up on final day. He ain't supposed to appear yet.

 

[falsapersona]

Basically Bad Jess without the redemption. The Robert flanderisation struck again.

Seems to be the case, kind of a cautionary tale character because even our bad Jess in ORAS doesn't need to be redeemed or completely changed her ways, but at least she has the realization that that lifestyle is not sustainable in the long run or is a means to an end

You have to be pretty much a motherfucker or desperate to fuck that thing.

You just have to be enough of a degenerate to smash that booty, and think about all the experience she has accrued throughout the years, you may actually learn something

 

[Mystogans_Wrath]

Question am I correct in assuming that this chapter won't include Ian? So one whole update is Lena & the next will be Ian?

 

[yuvce]

Anyways any thoughts on Sonia? Smash or pass?

And Zarina with her.

 

[Nice Guy Eddie]

Liked the update quite a lot! Some stuff feel a bit forced but overall it’s a lovely job!

Does anyone know if Ivy always fucks up Lena’s tatoo and if the QoS is the only possible result if Lena agree?

love the idea but the result really don’t match my various playthroughs.

has evakiss said anything about what part (c) of chapter 14 will look like? because if this chapter will end with lena at the party on the third day, then it has no ian content at all. that would be the first time a chapter has been about one of the MCs alone.
so i rather think the whole third day will be about ian's POV instead.

that being said, i doubt it will be shown how ian spends time at home and at the pool party depending on your choices. so i think ian will definitely show up at the party. just wondering if it isn't lena who invites him, is it jeremy? that also seems unlikely, since he may have a fallout with him. so is it ivy? nobody else at the villa knows ian well enough to do this.

ivy does the QoS tattoo or none at all. there is no other option.

Though it's worth noting that her room-mate is a jealous bitch who will badmouth and undermine everyone she sees as competition at first opportunity, so it's probably better to take what she says with a pinch of salt. But that said yeah, i thnk Sonia was deliberately made in a way she wouldn't steal too much of the spotlight.

Uhm, what? Zarina only really comes across as jealous if Lena is hostel towards her and sides with Ivy. Zarina seems rather supportive of Lena if Lena makes even a modicum of effort to be nice. She has a clear distaste for Lena's "dress" or lack thereof if Lena has the skimpy bikini or takes her top off, but that gets glossed over pretty quick if again Lena isn't also a bitch.

You really believed that a supposed skilled makeup specialist would somehow not realize that she's painting you like a clown and thought that what she smeared you with somehow makes your Lena look better? All while trying to make you spill dirt on Ivy that she claims she doesn't care about at all, and after acting all passive-aggressive towards Ivy without any provocation, and repeatedly badmouthing her behind her back?

Zarina is as much of a jealous, petty snake putting on a nice facade as Ivy is. There's a reason one of opinions about her Lena can express to Ivy is "you're two of a kind".

Ahh ok thank for clairyfing so every update does include both mc & fmc but they just get different priority/screen time depending on the chapter?

 

[Mystogans_Wrath]

Either you didn't read what “ioanns filippou” wrote, or if you did: you didn't get my joke! What a shame...

both it seems but after further review i understand

Quite honestly I am not sure. I said while talking to BlandChili and Blurpee that if we were to consider Lena's pool party a mirror of Ian's beach event, there should be major outcomes for the main crew and as a mirror event, it be expected for Ian to show up.

That being said, pool party has no main players in it. It has 3 characters freshly introduced, they just can't have any major outcome on the story yet (and if they do it'd be bad story telling).

This leaves Mike, who doesn't really matter much. He was an absentee for a while and Gillian approaches Ian with or without a potential breakup. Also Gillian cheated on Ian with Mike, so there's potential there but the relationship isn't canon yet so it's unlikely to matter for final day.

Jeremy has no major play either, at best he can 'break up' with Louise, which means fuck all outside of making Jeremy/Lena a real thing. That would be relatively negligible imo. Maybe some Ian/Jeremy drama if Lena is in a committed relationship and cheats on Ian? but that's reliant on a very specific path.

Billy is irrelevant.

And then there's Ivy. Lena could crashout and knock her teeth out but unlikely. Ivy could fulfill her homewrecker role if Ian did hit on her. But yeah, any potential drama that could unfold on final day is mostly tied to her.

It wouldn't make sense for Ian to show up imo.

Lena only talks about inviting Ian if she's in relationship with him in some manner. I imagine him showing up may be simply so people who cried how it's joever because it's Lena-only update without Ian can get a sex scene with him. Also, because it's potentially a good opportunity for him to get it on with Ivy, either in a threesome or as a pair.

 

[Deleted member 8740082]

Damn, my single Ian who couldn't connect with any of the main girls would have loved this party

I know very little about makeup myself and just assumed that she was talking herself up more than anything. Are their different makeup variables she puts on Lena? I don't think the way she did up Lena's face, at least that I've seen, was any different than Ivy's makeup. I took Ivy's shot of "slutty" makeup as just another of her manipulations to try and keep her place as top dog.

The supportive I was referring to though was when her, Lena, Jess, and Mike are all outside talking music. That seemed far a far more genuine conversation than any Ivy has had about Lena's hopes and aspirations outside of being an only fans model. She seemed jealous of Lena's patronage from Seymour, sure, but didn't really come across as bitchy to me either.

I'm not saying she cannot be bitchy and jealous, because she absolutely can be, but I guess I didn't react as negatively to it or find it nearly as offensive as some of you. Especially in comparison to how Ivy has been portrayed lately.

But I'll go back through the scenes with a different lens and see if my opinion changes.

Imma be real, I want high stakes. Sum for the story. If all there is is some cheap fucking, meh.

Indeed.

and think about all the experience she has accrued throughout the years

I don't care.

you may actually learn something

The only one who will learn anything is the doctor who discovers the new STDs that this woman carries..

Hope in the future some modder will create a mod where, when you start, you can choose the right path you want.
I will really pay $$ for this kind of mod.

I think fan made side stories, where things happen contrary to what is possible in the game is probably the most we might get. Like SteelyDan14 says, it's a super complicated game, just modding pieces of it to suit certain tastes could get ugly really fast.

I have used URM to maniupulate variables and try and get a more satisfactory story for myself, but it gets weird. One thing you could try is using URM only to select hidden choices that your playthrough doesn't have the points or flags to take advantage of. This doesn't break the game totally if you don't go too far. It lets you do certain things without playing down a path you don't like, but still getting some things you might like.
