VN Ren'Py Pale Carnations [Ch.4 Up.5] [Mutt & Jeff]

[DirtyMario]

Couldn't care any less about Sophias nerdiness. She's cold and calculating and seems to find herself superior to us in every way. I just love when the arrogant look on her face gets replaced by blushing cheeks.
This won't turn into any kind of "romance" in a million years, the best possible outcome will be lots of salad dressing and one very content Edwin. And that's basically what I want for my MC. She can go back to massaging Abels shriveled nutsack right after. I just want her to question if she actually took her contraceptives today.

I honestly think that Edwin couldn't care less about Sophia, and he is aware of her intentions (as the profile says):

All of the rose tinted discourse about Sophia comes from one single F95 user.

Dislikes: [...] getting cum in her hair.

Honestly: "Being hot" is hardly a criteria in a game like this in which pretty much all women are hot, even the 54 years old hag that runs the club.

Sophia is just dangerous and the MC can only really expect the worst from her, so I will keep my MC away from her in (most of) my playthroughs.

Man, I was hoping for a late December-ish release, but it seems like it's most likely early February. I'm really interested to see how the animated 3some will look, especially since this game's production quality has drastically increased since the first release.

I was thinking about August a lot today, as he seems the most straightforward and "upstanding" of the bosses. While Kat and Chuck seem to be in it for their own sick pleasure, and they appear to be the main players in the power struggle in the background, while August seems to only care about making money and maintaining his pimp lifestyle, while the sadistic games and psychological torture seem to be Kat's brainchild.

It's basically confirmed that the Club was basically a high end prostitution ring that August ran, until Kat came along and put her own spin onto it, formalizig it as a "club". If it comes down to choosing sides, August may be the best bet, as he only seems to care about his girls making him money, without the sadism and blackmail that Kat seems to revel in.

Also, if my suspicion that August was Vicky's producer and pimp turn out to be true, I'm interested to see the dynamic between Edwin/August/Hana change after the reveal, especially since Edwin's whole world view is warped by Vicky's career. The web may be even more tangled, as Vicky may have been pimped out to men like Chuck, and that why Vicky has a dislike of him that she refuses to elaborate on, despite supposedly only knowing him as Edwin's professor, especially if she was a victim of Chuck's darker "proclivities".

That... Actually sounds like a Cyberpunk 2020 Tabletop RPG Lifepath and I think that's a strong possibility of turning out. Makes a LOT of sense and makes the story that much more personal whether Vicky knows August or knows the guy that knows the guy for August...

Didn't Edwin ask her about August though?

I guess you forgot the scene where Edwin asks her mom if she ever heard of August's name. There were not any "reveals" at all.

I'd really like to know why the most "imaginative" assumptions are always about Victoria and Sophia. Why always Victoria and Sophia.

I'd really like to know why the most "imaginative" players here love to fantasise plots and make arbitrary assumptions about Victoria and Sophia. Why always Victoria and Sophia.

I guess it could be a red red herring [sic!] and in the end it turns out she knew that name after all or he used a different "stage" name or whatever.

I think she was honest. It seems to me that she doesn't know him.

I would guess so as well, but who knows...well outside of TD I mean.

 

[se20299]

Idk man, I just think it'd be pretty lame if it turned out to be a red herring after so much teasing, especially since her dislike of Chuck at the beginning of the game is very weird and unfounded, given his "friendly uncle" public persona and her friendship with Ian, which means she most likely met him under different circumstances during her porno years, perhaps maybe falling victim to Chuck's perversions. But she can't tell Edwin any of that, outside of vague warnings.

Or maybe that's just wishful thinking on my part, because I want them to do more with Vicky aside from Edwin's PTSD flashbacks and the occasional cameo.

I wonder why you are making these "assumptions": her dislike of Chuck is totally justifiable (I guess you forgot that even Ian's family isn't that fond of Chuck: do you think he sexually harassed them?).

Moreover, do you really think that Edwin likes Uncle Chuck? I don't think so.

 

[Takkatakka]

I think by now he has certain..."reservations" about Chuck, knowing his darker side with the club. But I don't think he hates or despises him.

All of the rose tinted discourse about Sophia

Rosetinted? Hardly! Many, many posts ago I was one of the first to recognise there is more to Sophia Lundgren than met the eye at that point of the game! And if you really read my posts over time, you ´ll see that I know(!) that Sophia can be a dangerous woman and that their longer "meeting" was partly a test.
Considering some posts about Abel and Sophia´s relationship I think quite a lot of players do not see the very Samurai-Daimyo dynamic of those rwo. Sophia will be truly ordered by Abel only in rare circumstances.

comes from one single F95 user.

It can take only one domino stone...

Makes sense that she would be perceptive of certain traits given her history, I just put this down to a demonstration of her savviness.

Agree that she seems to be on a collision course with characters from the club though. Concerns about Edwin, interactions with Ian and her past all face her in that direction.

 

[Ungawa]

To be fair, I've been slow walking the hell out of this game so I haven't seen this if it's in the new update... >_<

I'm just finishing up the Kathleen/Harper scene to gain a bit more trust with the sadistic psycho.

She behaves like any adult person in their 40s. Anyone would think what she thinks about Chuck: you just have to look at him (how he smiles and the look in his eyes). Edwin as a teenager doesn't count: teenagers have no idea about how people really are - they're too busy to understand who they are. Now that he's 21 he pays attention to people.

Not much point in wearing a mask if it slips around any adult you have limited mundane interactions with. The setting we now see him in probably makes these things easier to see.

 

[TalkingCat15]

It will likely be the "Ian/Rosa/Edwin" Threesome if you had Ian taking care of Rosa's money problem.

well... looks like another update that I'll miss until there's something I'm interested in

If you had played the game you'd 90% know what's going to happen on wednesday (next update).

Ch3, update4 was about the 2nd week exhibition day; Ch4 up1 update was centred around Hana's date, ch4 up2's main dish was Mina's date, last update was Veronica's date; next update is going to be Felicia time.

Dunno what's the point of these "oh, the dev ain't writing the story I want - booooh, sniff, whine, damn!" posts.
