Moving on to the makeup, nails and butt plug stage of Katies quest (aka $katiequest8). I went digging into the code, because this part of the story doesn't progress smoothly at all, and I suspected the devs had fucked up the logic.
On a thurs night shift end, Katie tells mc that the boss knows about him and is insisting that he becomes more convincing as a crossdresser. Katie tells mc to do his nails, makeup and stick a plug up his poop chute before she will let him waitress again. Off we go again to the one shopping mall that hasn't been bankrupted, torn down and turned into an Amazon fullfillment center or datacenter/bitcoin mine.
Going into the Fem Mart, mc takes one look at the makeup kit and nail polish and decides it's too girly. That sounds fishy since every other quest Katie has given mc has let them buy whatever shit they needed to buy as soon as they can get their little tails over from the bar. Going into the toy section to look at butt plugs mc decides they are too chicken to do that just yet, but maybe they will have the courage after they get past the makeup/nails stage.
Remembering from previous playthroughs that the whole butt plug thing will be delayed anyway because apparently the toy store is too incompetent to stock your basic entry level (sic) buttplugs and needs 5 days to special order. So now mc is going to be stuck bussing tables for at least a week until either Sarah and/or Todd are able to corrupt them to be more female so they can do their face and nails. Yeah there's definitely some coding bs going on here....
Diving into the code shows that makeup and nail polish are gated behind an if-then check that looks like ($katequest8 eq 0) or ($hetero gte 8) that will swap out the "buy" link with a "too girly" link for both items. At this stage, mc is still at level 8 on hetero, so they are unable to buy these even though the Katie quest has been activated. Let's just rip those hetero checks out of there shall we? See the attached fixed html if you want to get the ball rolling by buying the kits Friday Morning, going home, using them, going back and then getting the buttplug ordered so that you might be back to waitressing by thurs of the next week. It's amazing how much shit you can get done in a morning without being late for class.
