Then you're not living in the game. You depend on this job, and Kathleen is your boss. Going against her will fuck you almost as hard as not going against her.
I said I did my best to go against her, not that I don´t participate. I try to keep a balance of playing to what she wants, while never going fully into that type of character. There´s a part of me that goes "These girls sign up for this shit" and another that goes "Even if they signed up, this is going to far". I try to protect them as much as I can, I try to be their friend instead of their "handler" or whatever it is. If in the end that fucks my relation with her, then so be it. So far, she´s pleased with I´m doing while wishing I went deeper into the role, which is perfectly fine by me.
Yeah I see that part as a job and a way to put me in Edwins shoes. Experience the conflict of having to work there or whatever. How much can I (as Edwin) take or stomach. How much will it effect the relationships Ive tried to have Edwin build with the carnations and what not. Like it adds that conflict to the game, that drama. So I dislike the exhibitions because they aren't for me, but I like that they add that dynamic to the story, If you get what I mean.
I'm sure week 3 will be hard to do if you are trying to keep the job and friendships. Maybe. Someone is gonna get upset.
Don´t get me wrong, I love the plot aspect that the exhibition adds and how to balance a job where everyone who has a position of power is an asshole at best. That said, what happens during the exhibitions is really not for me. I don´t mind kinky shit, but that is different for me.
I´m sure week 3 will be hell to balance, but if the choice is between the girls or Kathleen...the choice is pretty simple for me (unless the devs add some crazy consequence, then I might think about it a bit more).
