so. uhm. I played through Scarlet Hollow's first 3 episodes–

yeah, everyone was right. give a look through the content warnings and see if you can play this game cuz it's. WOW

Doesn't this look like something Stella would wear?

I get why the devs chose not to show us the relationships' statistics in-game, but maaaaaaaaannnn, I would LOVE if we could get them at the end of a run just to see where we ended up standing with everybody. It'd also be really fun to compare runs and see how different MCs's relationships look

[salty-an-disco]

decided to go with a Hero run next, which I gave the very original name of 'Hiro'. My original idea was to give him Powerful Build and Keen Eye (short stronk king who cares for others), but I think Hero deserves to have animals shenanigans available to him, so I replaced Keen Eye for Talk to Animals (he isn't all that observant anyway, so it works)

And so far, he's being an amazing dork who already managed to soften up Tabitha :D

oh no…… I am now starting to think about what traits the vessels would have too. oh no

[salty-an-disco]

doing an Oppy run now and it's definitely the funniest one by far (even more so than the actual sillyguy run)

- the constant sucking up to Tabitha actually fucking worked (asked the 'did I do something wrong' just to check the relationship and she gave the 'good impression' reply somsskmskzdm)

- talked up a big game with Stella only for her to deeply regret bringing this coward and sleazyball along. She was even smiling a lot less than in other runs during the hangout

- this whole interaction with bus guy:

(when talking about 'do you ever feel like you could kill someone?')

(already giving great advice)

Also, called him Ody as a reference to Odysseus cuz they're both manipulative little shits way too full of themselves (Oppy's just wifeless lol), and cuz the name is theorized to mean 'to hate'.

OK, OK, so– When visualizing the Paranoid play through, the main thing I was looking forward to was the ghost hunting in ep 3 anD BOY WAS IT EVERYTHING I IMAGINED AND MORE!!!

Main thing I wanted to do was, since I have the Mystic trait, play as if Percy was also 'possessed' and playing along to the ghost's play. Then Wayne barges in and gets the first non-scripted word outta her

And look at them. Having their first real conversation right in the middle of a ghost's fucked-up puppet play.

This is legitimately just my fave frame of Wayne by far (and also the moment that pinpoints the exact second I started falling in love with this bastard)

Percy: *still reciting the scripted dialogue the ghost mystically gave her*

Wayne: You really don't need to do that.

Percy: But I'm scared, and it's easier to cope when there's a script to follow!!

And then, the moment Percy got to have her trait-saving moment by attesting her case with the spirit!! It kinda gave me a similar vibe to her speech to Broken in Apotheosis, so I'm really really happy with this playthrough.
