VN Ren'Py Rebirth [Ep.5 Update 13] [LikesBlondes]

[Tserriednich'sNen]

Out of curiosity is there a difference in the Carmen scene when you choose to treat her as food?

 

[JenusKudo]

Why is the walkthrough recommending to thrall Laurie into stage 2??? I don't know what that means. Is it good or is it bad?

Likely bad. Don't want Laurie turning into a blood addicted junkie. I heade Andrew's advice and avoid giving her blood.

Checking the code, doesn't seem to be the case. All is the same.

 

[Weasel_Face]

All she does is flexing to her not-boyfriend/lapdog since this game started. Generally, pretending to know it all, when in truth you know jack shit is considered both arrogant and dumb. Especially since she is still a teen by vampire standards. There is plenty of evidence of unusual/unprecedented shit happening that should have made her more aware/open-minded.

Of course all that could be intentional, so writer could make her seem more flawed, more human and consistent with her relatively young age. But if that's the case then MC should be able to react to that, not just take it all in a stride.

As you pointed out, she is a teen, so it is a teen tutoring a toddler... Shit happens that is beyond Sharon's knowledge/comprehension so she just dangerously sloughs it off.

If any of you have teenage kids, you already know that you can't tell them anything cause they already "know everything" despite your years of experience, knowledge & good intentions. Sometime shit just has to be learned the "hard way"!

she tells the MC to have some Blood Dolls ready if she visits. And in Vampire is a Rule: The older the more hunger you have.

I'm pretty sure that Calisto is suggesting the Blood Dolls as Vampire Viagra rather than food...

-------------------------------+-------------------------------+-------------------------------

Is it just me or did anyone else want to thrall Carmen & put Laurie in the cage instead?

 

[vultron]

Just for my 2 cent: I think the next big choices you can make are:
- Make Carmen Thrall or kill her
- Get this Miri Officer /Thrall/Lover...)

And for Laurie, you can turn a Thrall into a Full Vampire later on. The Dev seems to stick to World of Darkness (Vampire: the masquerade) exept for the Names.
And I would say that
Sharon is a Toreador
Marcus is a Tszimisce
Nos are just Nosferatu
And the MC seems to be Old-Blood so he can be some of the "Lost" Clans. It seems he has Domination, Presence, and Auspex. So he might be a Tremere, but I don´t think so. From the Powers so far the most fitting Clans are Tremere or Ventrue. Or something really old. I can´t wait to see how it turns out. But I am quite sure he is a really low Generation. Maybe 7th or 6th Cause his "Mother" seems to be really old. The "old Greek Stuff" she said, I give dips on you can take it literally and she is 2000 years old. The best hint was that she tells the MC to have some Blood Dolls ready if she visits. And in Vampire is a Rule: The older the more hunger you have. Up to the Point there human Blood doesn´t feed you anymore and you only can feed from Vapire Blood.

Well if that cunt tries to feed on mc any Vampires around him she's going to have an unruly child on her hands if the game lets me.

277 in charisma.

How do you do that?

Relax. I doubt that St. Davis knows anything. And there is also plot armor. To big of a character for something to happen anytime soon.

To be the one with the bad news. Big character can aslo die and for the same reason: plot armor

For the other: S2EP7 was as short as always. After every fix of Rebirth I already want a next one. Yet for me EP7 seen it has les plot in it than in orther episode (didn' count lines and so on, only the feeling I've gotten).
I haven't see anything new and as often have more new questions that answers. From this episode I would been suprise if the next episode shows Sharons investiture.

 

[Ayhsel]

How do you do that?

What can I say? I am charming. After all, who doesn't like chocolate?

This episode was just setting up the investiture and ending of the chapter. If anything, the bigger thing for me was Sharon now aware that we know Calisto and to see how she is planning to proceed. Key word here is planning, as Calisto will most likely don't give a fuck about Sharon's intentions and do as she wants.

 

[Weasel_Face]

I hope that Calisto shows up for the investiture and does the nasty with MC derailing Sharon's triumphant day. I know Sharon is ok with MC bumping uglies with humans but this will be a whole other kettle of worms...
While this is unlikely to happen, it would make for an interesting update!

Since Sharon has her own territory now (we are put in our place quickly by her for thinking that we are partners, whether tongue in cheek or not because it was kinda reiterated), Sharon & MC will have to turn a few humans at least to ensure that they have some vamps that are loyal to a fault to them. Andrew is the obvious choice, but he will turn it down. Next would be Laurie with Carmen being the replacement thrall but I can't see Sharon going for either of those. I will also speculate that at the investiture or shortly after, Cindy will move to town at Calisto's behest to be a spy & watch MC's back. (She likely won't be happy about it since she probably still won't know that MC is Calisto's child...)

That is true. Also if Calisto would give a fuck about something, I think it would lower my opinion of her. General speaking, exceptions are allowed.

Would also be quiet the fun if Cindy participate in the ongoing cat fight between Sharon and the rest.

 

[Sjohn99]

This is a cool story for sure.

Would be cool if there was more sex....
And the whole limp dick without a bunch of blood is meh.

Still a good story! Keep it up.

 

[Ayhsel]

Absolutely. I want her to remain this loving old powerful bitch having fun with us, knowing she is totally out of our reach.

Hahaha I can see her looking menacingly towards Sharon when she disrespects Calisto, Calisto not giving a fuck and simply laughing. Laurie making sure she does not have more competition by sticking unnecessarily close to MC. And Carmen, well, being the nicest person in the room, not wanting much trouble, except probably for Andrew watching everything from the side with a calm expression that would make James Bond looks like a nervous virgin kid in the backstage of a supermodel runaway.

 

[c3p0]

Yeah, like some cool big sister. Always there to annoy you and official don't give a shit about you, but I do hope, if the shit hits the fan, she would to help us. Only to point out afterwards that is was all our own mistake that lead us here and she haven't done it for us, but.
Or she could send Fabian and say he acted on his own. I think he would do something if we were at a real pinch.

From the three of them, Cindy would do it, if Calisto has order her. She would be piss off that she needs to help some little shit. Fabian would do it, because we ar his little cousin or his misstress has ordered him. And Calisto would do it for the fun it gives her and this include the lecture she will give afterwards and the reward she demand from us.

Apropops what, when and how will Calisto demand that Sharon return her favour? It would be nice to see the raction of Sharon after Calisto told her, why she became an Archon of course she wouldn't believer her first.
Take the MC out for a ride?

 

[Ayhsel]

Yeah, like some cool big sister.

More like a Hot Mom. MILF in the full meaning of the word.

Haha she will only save us provided we keep being fun. Fun probably in the sense "laughing at us" more than "laughing with us"

Hahah Cindy saving MC ass would be awesome. I will guess she would ended up going full tsundere.

Gotta make popcorn!

Is it just me or is Sharon being set up more and more each update to be a sacrificial lamb? She gets more annoying each update and now with the end image from your "mind's eye" plus the conversation with Mommy (aka Calisto);

Sharon's definitely getting more annoying with each update.

 

[BigStuffedTiger]

That would be awesome!! I wished to make Carmen a vamp, Laurie a very powerful and independent thrall and then Calisto as the leading general of our queen Artemis*, who lives her life with the moto

*we are going to call the red dream beauty Artemis from now on, so that we don't necessarily imply she is the first vampire, even if that is what many of us believe.

Artemis certainly works for me. It started out as a semi-wild theory of mine, that dreamgirl was once known by the ancient Greeks as the goddess Artemis, but the dots are increasingly lining up.

The MC is being set up to entertain his mommy, Sharon is just his cover so some other elder doesn't step in and gobble him up for his blood before he's capable of putting up a fight. Making a baby vampire archon would get too much attention, very deadly attention. That would end her entertainment too quickly.

Artemis also may be working through Calisto if as we suspect Calisto is the ancient semi-retired high priestess of her own mommy. So it may not purely be entertainment, there may well be a point to it, and if so that point will certainly be in line with Artemis's goals.

I like it as everything I know about Artemis fit the idea of a vampire goddess. To be fair, given that she is a moon goddess, it probably works better for a werewolf goddess. I also like calling her Lilith, but it does have the strong assertion that she is the first vampire, and not everyone is convinced.

So, let us pick the cute goddess of the moon and hunt, after all, why not?

 

[Trasher2018]

Way to short, as always. I really hope they can pump up the volume of the updates.
