Interesting how long people can talk about CHapter 4.5, I like to see a continuation...

The villain Maja is talking about is Melanie Ceril, on this page there is a picture of her from the time she was beating Bella.

Because we need a good laugh, I saw this reply in another thread I periodically check the pulse of (Milfy City) - and thought it worth sharing:

So telling me f96zone produces dumb people?

So... when you get that person asking a question that was answered 3 posts before, I'll think of the above and I remember a favorite response from a roommate in college when someone would do something Very stupid or ask him a Very stupid question:

Did your mother have any children who lived?

Cheers!!

So did anyone else find it interesting that Victoria received death threats before the accident? Could be the same guys behind some other things, maybe not. Either way, I don't think it's ever been brought up before. Thoughts?

Are you serious? Here are your "death threats"

Maja is talking about a girl who hates Victoria and harassed her in high school (we haven't met her yet).

The "other guy" is right Maja was talking about someone named Mel C

The villain Maja is talking about is Melanie Ceril, on this page there is a picture of her from the time she was beating Bella.

Yes there's a later discussion about Melanie attacking Vic & threatening her when they were in middle school. But there's no mention of a death threat per se.

v "The last thing she said to me was that she would stomp on my face with her heels and put them through my eyes."

Vic does says Maja thought Melanie was behind the accident. So perhaps that's how people reached the conclusion Maja was referring to Melanie during the hospital scene.

My impression remains that Maja was referring to MC thinking aloud about ending Vic's suffering, not Melanie.

I don't know. First off, what Maja is talking about is before the accident. The way the sentence is phrased makes it sound like it was something that happened at least a matter of days ago, not about 30 seconds after the fact.

The sentence is somewhat ambiguous so alternative interpretations are in play.

u "Victoria almost gets killed in a car accident after someone threatened to end her life."

You've interpreted it to mean car accident, sometime after a death threat. Nothing in that line states a time frame, let alone days.

I interpreted it to mean car accident, then after[wards] a death threat. Structurally it makes more sense to me that way, given the hospital scene is placed soon after the car accident.

The middle school incident with Melanie some are raising happened years before the car accident, and Melanie hasn't even been hinted at yet at this point of the game.

Secondly, you really think Marla said anything about that when she was the one who pointed a gun at him? And you watch too many cop shows. I really doubt the police is going to ask about the victim's enemies, from the very woman who hit her.

I'm not sure how that's relevant? Marla just has to tell the police some guy was threatening Vic & herself?

Third, if it did happen you can bet on MC being called into questioning or at least have a cop show up at his house. This didn't happen, ergo, there was no statement about Nika ending her life.

No, because Marla doesn't know who the MC is at this stage & he left the scene before the police talked to him. Marla doesn't discover who the MC is until he turns up at college weeks later.

If you had a roommate in college and there wasn't a VN about it, were they really a roommate?

Vic does says Maja thought Melanie was behind the accident. So perhaps that's how people reached the conclusion Maja was referring to Melanie during the hospital scene.

And that's the final word on this quarrel: Maja was talking about Melanie.

She wasn't referring to Marla, because:

1) when she said those words, she didn't know anything about the car accident, except that an accident happened and Vic was injured; after she tells it, she asks MC what happened.

2) Maja told it herself Vic later.


Anyway, Ocean said he's going to rewrite the "gun accident" scene with Marla. You can bet your ass that Marla will NOT draw a gun anymore. Not sure whether it's in this upcoming 0.5 beta or in the full 0.5 update.

What a nice fellow. I bet he/she/it has a lot of friends.

This is the whole problem that Ocean cannot fix. The only way is to remove all the options from Wiab, but then it will no longer be a game, but comics. By the way, this is one of the reasons why people tell Ocean to make games one at a time; he can’t handle 2 at the same time.

Ocean is committing a writers cardinal sin !.
he's writing 2 intertwine stories without establishing the world and rules and which both stories lives on .
for me he has a few options to get out of the corner he's getting into:
#1 he puts SG on hold and finish WIAB ,so he can establish the world and characters and decisions that will affect SG.
#2 he make SG as it's own thing , without any attachment to WIAB .

and please for the love of any mythological being ! , stop rewriting SG ! .
since Ocean started SG , he's going thru the third iteration of SG (original writing , remake writing , rewriting) .

It seems quite clear to me Maja was talking about MC's ramblings when Vic was on the ground.

Marla heard them and pulled a gun on him. Afterwards he fled the scene, Marla had to explain what happened to the police and the police told it to Maja.

What can I tell you, I guess F95 users love imagining scenes and events in VNs that never happened. Just tell me what makes you think that the police talked to Maja before MC and Nami entered Vic's hospital room.

Why wouldn't the police talk to Maja? I mean, how do you even think Maja got informed about Victoria's accident?

 

[F.L.HX99X]

Do you guys think this is Melanie? Her skin tone and hair seems familiar from the little girl in the flashback story Mila told us.

Such a weird hill to choose to die on.

First of all panicked Marla calls the police instead of an ambulance.

It's then the police that actually calls the ambulance. So the police is already involved and they'll take Marla's version, which will certainly include the weird kid that she perceived threatened Vic.

After the incident MC goes home, Nojiko tells him to bring Vic's wallet to her at the hospital during breakfast. Then he goes sleeping and only after he goes to the hospital with Nami.

So there's plenty of time for Maja to reach the hospital and be informed of what happened. Because that's the first thing people ask in that situations and there'll be the police there to explain it to her.

Did you see it?
does any character talk about it?
do you see any cop somewhere after the accident?
isn't MC a witness?
do you see any cop questioning MC about the accident?
does anyone in the story ever talk about the cops questioning anyone about Vic's car accident?

The only thing we know is that Maja asks MC what happened.

This is not reality. This is a work of fiction, guys: if you readers/audience don't see a thing happen / don't see a character tell a thing happened, IT DID NOT HAPPEN.

So do you have any proof that the police didn't talk with Maja?

Well, because the police were there because Marla called them instead of the ambulance. At that point Vic has lost consciousness, Nika takes her purse with her ID. So Vic has to have regained consciousness to even mention who they can contact. Nika gets home and goes to sleep before going to the hospital, and Vic is already out of emergency:

As Vic pretty much has to be conscious for anyone to tell Maja where she is because she doesn't have id, who knows if it was while the police were on the scene and they contacted Maja? If Vic regained consciousness at the accident, they'd probably ask about a contact or address. It's not unlikely and no more likely than the hospital having recognised Vic by her dental records while she's unconscious, especially as it's later that day after Nika has slept. If it was the police were who informed Maja to go to the hospital, they definitely spoke with Maja before she got there.

The scene's being reworked anyway, so who knows if that dialogue is even relevant, once the cinematic replaces it. My feeling is this wasn't a who dunnit moment, it's just a way to show that Maja is intensely stressed by the situation.
