VN Ren'Py WVM [S2 Ch.1 Ep.13 F] [Braindrop]

You are not the only one.

Well it will depend a lot on those tidbits of information Brain has hidden from us, which when they will be revealed will paint Damien in a better or even worse light. Hints for both are available (though for me those more hint at bad for Damien unless Brain adds a twist), but to me the only really extenuation circumstance right now for Damien is his mother plus asking MC to protect Jasmine and not in his actions as shown or hinted at. (even as some who wish to see good in Damien have pointed out could be also explained much more favorable for Damien, making him more someone who is caught in his bad decisions). To me it seems more that Damien descended quite a lot on the path to corruption already that Ryker or who else is behind Ryker introduced Damien to.

Hey can someone who help me out? If any of you have a screenshot of the moment with Rachael and the background character in the hoodie at his/her disposal, could you send it to me or post it here?

I was replaying some of the early days to refresh my memory and I could have sworn that scene is now missing. It happened when MC ran into Rachael at the busstop, right? Or did my memory play tricks on me and I'm looking at the wrong scene?

If you know how to activate the renpy console, type "show d6-949" into the console. It's towards the end of Day 6 if you want to see it in game.

Yep found it, thanks. I was indeed looking at the completely wrong day.

Which just goes to show that the occasional replay doesn't hurt to refresh your memories.

polycentric I'm Out of reacts, thank you so much for reposting that!

Braindrop you a way better person than I. Yes shit happens but the DMs you describe that would total make me a not so nice person at all. Thank you for hanging with us when you get trolls and b.s. as well. I hope 2021 is a much better year for you and all the wonderful posters that frequent this thread, even the lurkers.

I wonder if we should read something into the picture that accompanied that post. Perhaps a clue as to which characters Day 8.2 or Day 9 will focus on? We got Kimmy and Moon, the as of yet unnamed reporter and a girl with the same braided pigtails as one of MC's dream sisters. She also has a heart, but is it a tattoo or part of her choker? Could she be the Aubrey who was mentioned but never shown?

I think I am the only one here willing to give him a second chance. I wrote a bunch of posts about it over the past few weeks. It did not go over well with everyone else.

Nah, you are not the only one.
D has a fuckton of very good explaining to do to get back on neutral but I would be willing to at least listen to what he has to say.

Could be Aubrey, looks way too young to be the third though.

 

[BeoWoolF]

She did but she also said they have not been on good terms, so you have to take that into consideration as well.

Hmm.. in my book it counts even higher if she speaks well of someone she has personal issues with.

 

[BeoWoolF]

That was a quick three pages of a lively & civilized debate. Fairly hopeful quite a lot of those questions will be addressed in the upcoming update. Most likely followed by more questions related to some of those answers.

It is really a surprise to see a discussion on the internet where these kind of topics are handled without someone jumping the edge getting abusive, talking trash or whatever "normal" behavior out there.
Dammit, somehow this thread is a tiny island of behavior and good manners in a sea of scum and dirt.
Thank you all guys and gals

The interview was promised to Moon long ago. And Kimmy lives in Riker's house - after the incident, an urgent emergency need to resolve the issue with her housing, which means that in this or the next update, events with these two MUST be.

Sorry you lost me a little here. Too young to be the third what?

Now that I think about it, we only have Ryker's word that the house is his. It was after all Charles who showed it to MC and gave him a key. Ryker could have gotten a spare set from Charles -with or without his knowledge- when he went there to intimidate MC. What if the house is really WVM property after all, and Willa grants Kimmy and her family the use of it for as long as Kim's a student?

I'm still confused why the cheerleaders decided that Kimmy's was a good place to crash after the Bowling Room Blitz, but if it leads to more content with Kimmy, I'm not complaining too hard. #Kimmyfan

Oh right, I forgot we're still searching for her as well. But Willa said it was someone already known to us so until proven otherwise, my money's still on Margaret.

As is mine and a beer as well, so yeah I am pretty certain.

My thought original thought was Liz took them to the Rachael's office first and saw that no one was there and then went to the old house thinking maybe they went back there thinking maybe that is where everyone went. However, I forgot that Kimmy and Jasmine are friends. Jasmine needed a place to go since she lived with Damien, and after the bowling alley she needed a friend to turn to. She reached out and of course Kimmy said yes and the rest of the girls went with her so they could all be together. The other possibility is that Belle told the girls to all stay together and go to Kimmy's since that is a school owned home (maybe?). She would want them to stay away from the press and my guess is Rachael was not ready to send even more panicked girls to her house with Tali, while they worked on getting the MC out of jail.

Now the issue I have with everyone going to Kimmy's house is that poor Emiko is alone, and probably worried about what is going on after skipping the event. Since she lives with Zoe she has no other outlet, hopefully she goes to Kimmy's house too.

Oh I updated the FAQ to add the Patreon post that BD made, I liked it a lot better than the one he posted here himself a few days ago.

Thank you polycentric for posting that here.

I am almost positive that Aubrey is the redhead with the tattoos the MC did not talk to at the bowling event. Oh I hope we get more of that unnamed redhead reporter she is something nice to look at for sure.

The one thing about the Damien arguments that always makes me upset is saying he had a choice. Who's life is more important a guy you hardly know or your own mother? I mean if the mother thing is a lie then ok I get it, but if that is the truth sorry family wins over someone I just met. The other thing is he strung Jasmine along. We do not know 100% that he is actually gay. Sure there are clues to it both nothing confirmed for sure. Charles says something but can we really trust him? You see him and Lee in the locker room but there is no confirmed actions that say yep he is gay 100% without a shadow of a doubt. We don't know if the gay references are the truth or an act. We don't know if he was using Jasmine or protecting her by pretending to be gay. We just don't had solid information to back it up that he is gay. Hell he could be bi and trying to experiment. We can't say well he is cheating on Jasmine since most of us go a cheat path with the MC too so we are no better. Sure at one point we get the ok, but we have no clue if Jasmine and him have that same relationship.

Now if BD shows us that Damien's mother is not in the hospital and that he is actually gay then this is all a different story until then we are all going off assumptions. I am giving him the benefit of the doubt since I don't have all the information. We don't know if he was trying to stop people from coming outside to protect them or to help Ryker. We just don't know yet.

but what if Damien was lying about his mother ... and turns out that he / Ryker / Kenji / and say few others maybe say Bailey/Rainn are all in on forcing MC away ... and soon we find that Jamie and or Shauna get kidnapped and MC ends up getting blackmailed into losing games and then leave WVM totally ruined by this .. i think that would suck

Hello there, Guy with Depression and Spd here, so aim good an Stab hard.

Damien does bad things but seemingly with more altruistic motivations: to protect his family. In that way, he is more similar to MC than to Ryker. MC would also do anything to protect his family (and not all of them are nice, as Ryker can attest to). Similar motivations, different methods to achieve their goals. Kinda makes Damien the Killmonger to MC's Black Panther.

That could be a reason either that MC wouldn't forgive Damien. Bc if he would be in this Situation he KNOWS he would do the Same. Or he can't forgive Damien even if he exactly knows how Damien feels, bc MC's Family and Friends were in Danger.

But yes i am for a Choice if you wanna forgive Damien or not. And yes even IF he wants to forgive, it should Damien take a long and hard Way to earn his trust again.
