but if allready by the final reading he has made contact with them, Elaine gets to keep it, that could explain why she and Bella were so eager to send him to Monica asap. Until this final date though Elaine can't throw him out according to the will and that's why she started acting nice all of a sudden.

I'm pretty sure the lawyer said whatever happens before the final reading doesn't matter, Elaine is also after 1/3 of the money not just the house.

 

[Cigar-Ferras]

That much is crystal clear.

Hey now .....

I don't think Elaine is involved in a conspiracy, I think she needs MC to move in to collect her part. Basically looking out for #1.

I hope you're correct on this one.

Now I know this can be explained away with off screen actions/interactions - But how did Bella know MC was at Monica's to drop his stuff there? Elaine didn't know, the way it was spoken in game sounded like that info came from Bella to Elaine. MC was dossing about in a hotel right, before he went to Monica's so how did Bella know?

Naaah... Elaine is a lying whore if i've ever seen one. That said, i guess at some point if you take her route she would have a change of heart and would start to really care about the MC, but for now she's keeping her cards really close to her chest and playing her own game, that's for sure. Flirting with the MC, fucking him, talking about getting close is all a part of the play. Unfortunately for her, it's not hard after the initial intentions of screwing him over, to fall under his spell and taking the "disco stick for life" route.

Damn .. i was so focusedon the later conversations i really glanced over that fact. Think however at the begining when they talked over the phone, he mentioned to Elaine he was at Monica's. Will check this one real quick.

I love your posts. That's basically what I said, she's playing her own game. I've never actually met a whore, well, unless they were lying to me.

I think I just hit a bug in my game. I'm playing along the Jenna route and staying as friendly as possible with Jolina without going into her route and I just rejected her when dropping her off at the coffee shop (For like the 3rd or 4th time - woman is persistent, I'll give her that) But when talking to Jenna after she is saying I did the walk of shame (Not in this run I didn't) so I don't know how this is triggering?

At this point it's more hope than correct..

I remember that...I just figured Jenna thought something (bad) happened (because I hadn't gone with Jolina until a later playthrough so I didn't know she popped up on vid). Later I never gave it any thought.

About that fact how Bella knew where to drop off the stuff. On the 2nd day MC reads an e-mail from Elaine where she asks him for an address where she should ship his stuff at. Couldn't catch however if he returned anything to her, because the next interaction between both of them is the phone call where things don't go all the smoothly.

Yeah, I don't think it should have popped up like that since MC didn't go upstairs or even into Jolina's apartment. Ah well, I don't mind waving it off, it doesn't really matter I guess.

I just replayed that bit like two days ago .... jeez, my memory sucks. Thanks for that.

Well this is not really the case, because from the phone call one gets the notion MC never actually emailed/texted her back anything. Also there is the option to delete the messages/mail without reading them. In this case MC couldnt have know Elaine was planning to throwing his stuff away. So my guess is he never gave her an address and this makes the fact Bella knew where to bring his stuff, much more intriguing.

Hmm, so maybe we're finally onto something! (Doubtful, but it's still fun)

 

[theScumbag]

What an unexpectedly charming game this turned out to be. It had been on my "to try" list for a while, and I'm kicking myself for not having given this a whirl sooner.

Jolina and Bella are my girls; the rest can take a hike!

Well you're here now, welcome to the madness!

I don't know about taking a hike .... Katie is BAE, but your choices are also good.

Also, why couldn't Jolina be the connection to Elaine? She was the one that met our MC on his second day stay at Monica's. She's also the only other person we've seen in this story other than Jenna that knows her way around computers - Funny Elaine's computer got a security upgrade after the first visit. And if she knows Elaine, she'll likely be in with Bella so perhaps it was info from Jolina that let Bella/Elaine know where our MC was potentially staying since Elaine was aware of Monica and her girls. Hmm ....
Am I too far down the rabbit hole yet? I can't tell.

 

[freedom.call]

Also, why couldn't

That makes sense, maybe she bugged his clothes.

Isn't anything possible at this point?

Seems so, I have a feeling we're overthinking a few things though. I still think Theresa/Dog-boy/Jolina is the most likely 'team' or dare I say....grouping, out to mess with our hero.

Oh no .... please don't mention "groupings" again .... I took that back, remember!
What do you mean with the Theresa/Dog-boy/Jolina mix? You think Jolina is working with them!? (I hadn't even considered that .... hmm, food for thought there, I'm gonna chew on that for a bit)
