VN Ren'Py Restore Her Career [v0.31] [Kalyha]

[ramvivat]

If you were tasked with coming up with a backstory for how Linda came to be in that video, what would you come up with?
She wanted to do something crazy but didn't know it was being recorded? She was being blackmailed?
Any thoughts?

That video appeared even before marriage. so for five years.
that is, the question of coercion disappears. she wanted to. she simply did not count on such a consequence of her one-time experiment.
If it was coercion, then she would have turned to the police a long time ago. and if that's the case, then what? right! there is material for blackmail, because she did not consider it necessary to notify her husband.

By the way, I had a similar case in my life. I left the girl I loved but could not bear the betrayal.
my girlfriend had an affair with my good friend before I met her. and when they met at his birthday (and I went with a girl), they greeted him on the threshold and then a little later they said that nothing had happened. then I alone guessed what WAS. when there was nothing - nothing needs to be said when two people know each other only as good friends. and when I guessed what they had, I realized that my girlfriend cheated on me.
I would say that there was something - I would understand everything correctly. it was before me and therefore is not subject to discussion.

and it's the same with Linda's husband. but the most interesting thing is that Linda, even after the start of her blackmail, still did not confess. and this suggests that she secretly likes this state of affairs.
But if the husband was more dominant ...

Unless I missed something, five years ago, she was married. Their daughter would have been 13. I suppose you could say the video was much older but only got posted 5 years ago, but I find that a boring assumption. Plus, it would not justify her giving in to blackmail so easily, had it happened 20 years ago and before they were married. Unless you go with the stereotype that girls with big boobs aren't real bright.

I think the most logically reason would be she needed Money (if it was filmed before her Marriage) or wanted to experiment, letting her "wild side" out. There are thousands of "one hit wonders" out there that shot one Pornscene and never looked/came back.

but the most interesting thing is that Linda, even after the start of her blackmail, still did not confess. and this suggests that she secretly likes this state of affairs.

I believe this would be a little simple to assume. At the moment of the Blackmail she had the choice between getting exposed by the MC or giving into his demands. After she gave in, it wasn't only the Video she would have to confess but also the Sex with the MC. At this point the only way to "save" her Marriage would be to go along with Blackmail, regardles if she liked it or not.
This may sound Stupid for an onlooker but from her perspective it is reasonable I think.

I seem to be confused with the numbers. =) but it was mentioned for 5 years - that's for sure. Only in connection with what exactly I already forgot.
maybe the daughter was already from a previous marriage, and Linda got along with her current husband not so long ago - less than 5 years.

In short, you just need to take it and start over again. or make it even easier - open the game script file and read the text from there. so it will be faster. and much more accurately. then there will definitely be no insinuations or speculations or other -tions ...

"Sclerosis is a funny thing - nothing hurts, but every day you find out that you have already forgotten something and learn something new" =)

 

[ramvivat]

would be she needed Money

'don'thin'so
itchy-scratchy - mostly version.
just "scratches". husband is not satisfied. the most likely version. she has no money problem. husband will buy everything.
she would also like to solve the problem of her daughter's obedience - but I think she will solve it with the help of the MC soon. why else would it be beneficial for her to solve her daughter's problem - if her daughter is "tied by blood" then it will be easier for Linda to solve her "urgent" problems with "needs". the daughter, even if she catches her mother "on the hot" - will not say anything.

when women share one penis, they become one step. it is their relationship that will not be mother-daughter (somewhat confrontational) but woman-woman + common man (that is, sympathizers). there will be a connection - there will be mutual understanding. and the daughter will stop disappearing from home. everyone is fine.

Per the dialog, she is both their daughter (she's 18) and the video was from 5 years ago. But it can be whatever the Dev decides it to be.

 

[Vakkyr]

If you mean that, right now, there is no Money problem, and that it is likely that she is Sexually frustrated I would agree. Only angle would be that she needed Money without her Husband knowing but I don't think it will go this way.

she would also like to solve the problem of her daughter's obedience - but I think she will solve it with the help of the MC soon.

She definitely want's to reconnect with her Daughter and MC will "help" her with that, I agree. But I wouldn't call it Obedience.

why else would it be beneficial for her to solve her daughter's problem - if her daughter is "tied by blood" then it will be easier for Linda to solve her "urgent" problems with "needs". the daughter, even if she catches her mother "on the hot" - will not say anything.

To be honest I have no idea what you are trying to say here. I think Linda is missing her "little girl" and want's her back, she's not looking fo a way to control her or getting her to keep her "Secret" so she can sleep around. There is no need for it to be benificial to her. They definitely will end up together in the Mc's Harem, but I believe MC will rather use Rebecca to bring Linda around and not the other way around.

But in the End we are only speculating here, we will have to wait for the next Updates and see what the Dev has planned.

 

[ramvivat]

speculating

EXACTLY

EXACTLY

Most games I forget about soon after I quit playing. A few keep me thinking / speculating long after. A testament to Kalyha and his story.

yes, other games do not "click" at all - they pass by and are forgotten.

A few keep me thinking / speculating long after. A testament to Kalyha and his story.

the answer to this will not be unambiguous. because it is both good and bad. at the same time =)

 

[ramvivat]

Only angle would be that she needed Money without her Husband knowing but I don't think it will go this way.

and what is it necessary to buy such that the husband would not give money?
Personally, I'm at a loss, frankly. even more precisely - not a single version arises. can you share your versions of why a wife (secretly from her husband) needs money?

Gambling debts, maybe?
I think it'd be more fun if it was an affair gone really bad. A spontaneous kiss while at one of her daughter's soccer games slowly corrupts until she's blowing a bunch of guys in an old warehouse.

Yeah the money thing is a rather weak argument here I mainly brought it up to show how unlikely it is in my opinion. But on a more general basis it could be as clowns234 said, Gambling Debts, Drugs, falling for some Scam or something like that, but nothing of it would fit good with Lindas Personality in my eyes.

It would be interesting, indeed, but I can't see it really fitting with her actual Personality. Also i would find it much more compelling if the Video was just a quick flash of her more naughty side that she is ashamed of, and MC is "freeing" this side of her. The Mother Daughter dynamic could work here well. With Rebecca having "inherited" her Mothers naughty side but embracing it instead of being ashamed of it or something like that.
The Video also could be a result of an Affair of the Lonely and Sexually frustrated Linda, depending if the Video was a Professional or Amateur one, can't remember what it was. With the Affair ending after she regrets the Video and going back to being the brave (but unsatisfied, lonely) Houswife for the sake of her pretended "whole Family".

The soccer mom scenario would be a repeat of her current day's scenario. Blackmailed for a kiss soon leads to blackmail for a blow job, which leads to... If only she had come clean on the kiss.

 

[ramvivat]

allow. corruption. but corruption reprograms the mind and soul. but why then the action was one-time? is there a reasonable explanation? if a woman liked it - does she not seek to repeat it?
it is necessary to start this VN again - this time thoughtfully.

or catch the author and interrogate him =)

I don't think so, if she where already so far down the road, nothing MC did to her would be new to her, only the same old play she endured before, only with a new tormentor. So yes, her past would be Interesting, but her future Character development would be boring and her present Personality had to be heavily retconned to fit with her past. Also with what should she be Blackmailed to begin with if this is what led to the Video.

And as ramviat said (although I wouldn't say corruption "reprograms the mind and soul") if she came to like it why should she stop and go back to playing the upright Houswife.

Maybe she likes being the victim? All the fun without feeling guilty because 'it was beyond her control'.

Nah, if this would be the case it would (should) being reflected by her Character and her Personality. There had to (should) be scenes where she is arguing with herself, that she didn't like it, had no choice yada yada. So I think, as much as you like the Idea, it's not gonna happen. I believe the most likely scenario is still the "closet pervert" that get's freed by MC for Linda. It would fit with her Character, the Video could be explained with it and (what i highly wish for) Dev could involve Rebecca in Lindas downfall

 

[ramvivat]

Dev could involve Rebecca in Lindas downfall

if you look at the changes in Emma that she accepted in herself and realized that she felt good, then we should assume what awaits Linda too. yes, to be honest, and Adrianna resigned herself to her role as a personal whore and it is not noticeable that she objected too much.
Yes, and Linda's only fear is "so that the neighbors do not hear." not the fact that they are essentially being raped - no, the only thing the neighbors would not have heard is the main thing. =) that is, she does not mind. and even vice versa - FOR. The main thing is that everything should be quiet and imperceptible. and if everything goes well - even "cover" the rapist, as it was in the house at a party in honor of Adrianna's birthday, when she hid from her son under the table while he was talking to the MC, to whom Emma was giving a blowjob at that moment. she essentially covered him, without protruding and without making noise.

MC is a specialist in hidden perverts, which he calculates by intuition, like that alcoholic policeman from Marsopolis (if anyone read Harry Harrison's "police robot", he will remember that alcoholic).

It will be the way they all be going sooner or later. For Linda there is still Character Development needed for this change, hopefully with Rebeccas help

Yeah, one of the biggest concerns for the Women is the Public Appearence, but they fear/hate the factual Rapes by the MC as well. What changed over Time is the perception of the Sex and the realization that they "like" the Sex with MC. As for Emma one sign of this change was inddeed the Blowjob while her Son was in the room, although the "cover up" for the MC was for in her Interest mostly and not for the MC. She wanted to avoid by all means being caught by her Son fucking with his best friend. As she feared the consequences.

MC is a specialist in hidden perverts, which he calculates by intuition, like that alcoholic policeman from Marsopolis (if anyone read Harry Harrison's "police robot", he will remember that alcoholic).

I believe you overrate the MC and his "genius". He's a stupid Psychopath that succeeds foremost because it is a AVN, and because the Dev is throwing Plot Convenience at him whenever he needs it. What in a Story like here is not a bad thing, the Plots are so ridiculous at times that you can't take them too serious most of the Time anyway.
