Ren'Py Abandoned The DeLuca Family [Season 1] [HopesGaming]

[JJJ84]

2 very good points. Been too long for me to remember the seating arrangement at the table at the time of the poisoning but I seem to remember it was Codia at the head with Antonio and Isabel on her left with Luna, MC and Gracie on Cordia's right. Could have been MC at the end opposite Cordia and Luna and Gracie on Cordia's right. Anyway the most obvious suspect would be whoever was sitting closest to MC which would not be Antonio.

From my memory, to Cordia's left sat in the order of Antonio, Isabel, then Gracie. To Cordia's right sat Luna, then MC.
Only person sitting closest to MC was Luna, but we all know that's just not her style.

To be honest, I don't think anyone who was present at the table for dinner is a suspect. Which makes me suspect Wilfred (who calls MC, but is not actually present at the dinner itself).
I'm just gettting the feeling he poisoned the MC not to actually kill him, but to test how immune he actually is to poison (part of his research on MC, to see his resilience & potential, even though it does sound twisted lol).

And besides, like he pulled strings (behind the scenes) with the whole Fazio Family matter (which he argues with Cordia a bit), it wouldn't be the first time he did something behind Cordia's back either.

kinda weird that Cordia is ok with him seeing both her daughters romantically no?

I kind of assumed that that was her plan all along. What with making them shower in his room and all.

Which is interesting considering most people don't think this will have a harem ending even tho a lot of things in the game are pointing towards that kind of ending.

Wilfred said they encourage your friendship with the daughters and how you are trying to bring them out of the shell. Which mob family worth their salt let's you voluntarily bug their rooms? And of their daughters no less. Way too farfeched. The only person who knows about the hidden cams is Gracie.

She saw you sneaking into her office or has some kinda alarm in that room. And she kissed you because you remind her of your father. That's why if you check out her thoughts after that event, it reads something along the lines of "he looks so much like him". Either that or you happen to look like her husband coincidentally. There's one thing sneaking into her office and reading files and a completely different thing to watch her daughters naked in their room.

Also think about it. The poison was put specifically in MC's plate and no one else's. If it was just some hired Assassin, how would they know which plate was supposed to be given to you? The poison obviously wasn't in the food since no one else got poisoned. It was most certainly an inside job.

Same goes for Trino dude. He begged in front of the house to be hired by Anthony de Luca and suddenly betrays him? Just for money? And the de Luca family was even looking after his mother and paying her bills.

My years of novel reading tells me it's Anthony. Of course I could be wrong and it could be someone else but that would raise too many questions. If Cordia or Wilfred or Luna wanted him dead he would be dead and no one would be any the wiser. It could be Gracie because she gives off major sociopathy vibes. But if I were a betting man I would bet on Anthony.

Your deduction of reasoning is truly a gift Mr. Watson. With your pondering and perusing over the evidence, brought forth in such a sane and cogent manner.

But I still think it was Mr. Peacock in the library with the candlestick, if you ask me.

It's not uncommon in the animal world to bring back live prey into the nest so that the young can learn to devour and kill.

Or in this instance being the child of a Well known serpent with a dubious hook up , causing the interlinkage into the family the way you are. I believe that that you were allowed to assimilate into the family. To be raised as it were into something truly unique....
In essence the Serpents bring forth the DRAGONS. A trio the likes that have never been seen before
Here you have both sisters each incredibly gifted in their own right, burdened by the baggage each carrying, not allowing to combine their gifts as it were. Enter you the unknown quantity, Oblivious at first what role if any you play. You have secretly been groomed from birth for this position. Thrust into an unknown world forced to adapt, or die. You are the stabilizing factor, A love interest for these women. You are that cohesive force that bind's you three that will create this Tour De Force as it were.

Cordia, as well as Wilfred are the masterminds of this. manipulating behind the scenes, You three are their legacy.

 

[yltohawk]

Did you ever think the the poison was given by Cordia herself Knowing your upbringing. Knowing that no permanent harm would come to you... And who would suspect, causing the family to circle around you from the beginning was her goal. and it worked.

I don't really get that. I mean, isn't Isabel the only one you can actually turn down? If you were supposed to pick just one of the girls I'd have thought you'd have done that by now.

just fyi, i've updated my unofficial android port of The DeLuca Family v0.06.6.
(don't update if you aren't french!)

Thanks for the little note at the end. Normally I see "DeLuca Family update" and I smash download without thinking any more about it.

Sigh. Now I gotta go replay "The Cave" scene to get my Luna fix.

Anthony didn't do it...Il'll bet on it.That said WHO THE FUCK IS ANTHONEY

Well, part of why people may think that is probably due to Hopes' early plans for the characters were the following:

Luna - "pure love" towards MC. She will not be very accepting seeing MC with other girls.
Gracie - "exploration" & "adventure" with MC.
Isabel - (can't remember what was her one).

I mean, plans can change over time, and I asked him not too long ago if he still thinks of continuing the above paths with the girls, and Hopes reply was the following:

"That was the early plan yes, but now nothing is set in stone. I'll decide it when I get to that point."

And I think that's the sound decision. Because other than Luna (who has the highest relationship points out of all the girls currently), the other girls aren't on the "love" stage just yet (even Luna, I think is just on the first step on this stage).

My issue is that like you said "nothing is set in stone yet" but it really doesn't make sense that Cordia is ok with him messing around with BOTH of her daughters and Isabel and on top of everything Cordia herself has kissed the MC which makes everything super confusing.

You would think that if Cordia approved of a relationship between the MC and one of her daughters she would tell him to pick one and stop messing around with both but that's just me.

Makes me wonder what wings Cordia will be given in the image at the end of character content

With the girls, as Wilfred said (in the latest update), each of the girls have a problem which Cordia wants MC to solve (Gracie: human interaction/socialization, Luna: barrier due to trauma, Isabel: boredom)
But even with this being the case, how much would Cordia be tolerant with MC getting in deeper with the girls in their relationship is still a big question mark (and only Hopes can answer that, though I think we'll just find out through Cordia's story).

I might be completely off the mark with the following, but I have a feeling that Hopes will build up Cordia's events which leads to her "reconciliation" event with Luna. Some thing a bit like fix Isabel-Gracie relationship event, but pulls at our heartstrings like "My name is Luna" event.
Getting though that event I think may be the first milestone for Cordia (in possibly "love" stage), and perhaps second milestone for Luna (after her My name is Luna event).

But who knows.

Regardless, I'm looking forward to her storyline.

Or hope could be fucking with us all by letting us build up these relationships then have the MC die at the very end.

If the road is worth it and MC dying makes sense, I am happy with such an ending. I totally prefer that to some ridiculous deus ex machina. Endings don't need to be happy, they need to be good!

 

[Godeaterprince]

Don,t say that.. Lets have Hope!

 

[Drakan47]

Endings don't need to be happy, they need to be good!

True, but there's no reason they can't be both, "then they all fucked happily every after" is always a good end in my book
