The corpse in Blackthorne manor that just so happens to be laid out on a slab and tells you where Johanna's workshop is really makes me think Johanna was og planning on setting a trap in that room and then crossed Emmrich off the invite list cause it was too risky but forgot to put away some of the stuff for the trap
On a related note I had this whole idea for a fic about curses in Nevarra that can quickly kill a corpse whisperer trying to get answers out of a corpse made by people wanting to cover up murders and Johanna making a modified version of the curse that draws it out and leaves the victim paralyzed but aware just to fuck with Emmrich but ditching it last minute cause killing Emmrich that way is lame to her and it gets picked up by the Venatori and used later by them so y'know
"Inaction is not the same as malice, most people just want to get by and don't want to cause problems, they want to live calm quiet lives. They are not villains for not being heroes, noone is bad because they didn't do good. Most people are just neutral, in that sense"
Sips her tea.
"Except for me, obviously. I NEED to be a good person, otherwise I'm objectively evil" She is not joking--
AGE: edit: MY DUMBASS MEANT TO SAY 23, I WROTE DOWN 23 ON HER REF I'M SORRY 💔🥀
ITEM: Dinosaur Mask (can be found around the house, location changes between days)
PRONOUNS: She/It/They (not sure what her gender really is yet? maybe non-binary in the sense that gender just doesn't really connect to her in any solid form. so either non binary or gender fluid)
SEXUALITY: Biromantic Greyasexual
DESCRIPTION: So, you've met up with the loud and passionate (albeit chaotic) dinosaur mask. Rexie is not like most others, tending to ramble on about dinosaurs for hours on end. If one were to enjoy her favorite things with her, especially dinosaurs, expect her t tell them "I love you!" in dinosaur speak.
SPECS Point Category: Charm
LIKES: Dinosaurs, Horror Movies, and Mariachi Metal (if you don't know what that is, the song 'Maldita Muerte (LUCHA)' by ReyMenn is a good example of the genre)
DISLIKES: Bright Lights and Corporate/Modern Architecture
BELOW: MASKLESS, ENDINGS, AND RANDOM FUN FACTS ABT HER
okay so here is what girlie looks like without her maks
and here are her endings!
HATE: You call her childish for her love of dinosaurs and tell her you don't really see anything wrong with modern buildings since they are easier on the eyes. She despises you, considering that you are both boring and distasteful towards how you are careless and too sucked into modern life, rather than taking it slow to find something to spark joy.
FRIENDSHIP: You are mostly nice to her and listen to everything she says, but you are not as keen as to give into the architecture opinion, saying that it's different on everyone's opinion. She shrugs and agrees, and you both become close friends.
ROMANCE: You agree with her that modern architecture is uninteresting and you tell her some dinosaur facts that they themselves did not know. They reveal their face to you and tell you 'rawr!' and explain that it means 'i love you in dinosaur' before kissing you (and biting you) all over.
REALIZED (can happen with either FRIENDSHIP or ROMANCE endings): If you have enough points, she thanks you for turning her human. Sure, her teeth aren't as sharp as before, and the feel of flesh is odd, but she gets used to it! Sje leaves the house and becomes a paleoartist that makes murals for community buildings!
FUN FACT TIME WOOOOO
-It... Just fucking bites the other objects sometimes. One time she bit Vaughn and he started FREAKING OUT! Yelling, thrashing, running around... Hell, his trap went off and it nearly went off on Rexie's mask! It only got her hand though, but still, it HURT.
-Rexie REALLY likes steak, preferably rare. She'd ask for raw, but Steffan (i think that's how you spell his name?) refuses to serve raw meat because it's a "healthcode violation", which Rexie doesn't really get.
-Originally, she was gonna have green pants with stars on them and a Jurassic Park Hawaiian shirt, but I went for a green, generic Hawaiian dinosaur shirt and blue jeans to add more color to her design
-Speaking of which, her favorite series is Jurassic Park/Jurassic World. (Kinda obvious lol. -w-)
-Her design was kinda inspired how I dress sometimes IRL, mostly with the Hawaiian shirt + jean combo!
-I took inspiration from Ramona Flowers for her haircut, and her teeth are partially (and rather loosely) based off of Power's fangs! And just like Ramona, they change their hair color a LOT.
-It seems to have a mild dislike for most vegetables, only ever really liking peas, broccoli, and asparagus
-Their bracelet is made of mini plastic dinosaurs!
-They have autism and ADHD
-One time they got in trouble for biting because Freddy encountered them when they were biting Luke and they never really bit Luke, or any of the kitchen datables ever again. Mainly because they're scared of Freddy. In their words:
"ARE YOU CRAZY?! That guys MASSIVE! Not as massive as a T-Rex which is around 12 or 13 feet tall... Eh, who am I kidding? HE PROBABLY IS THAT TALL! I'm NOT getting him upset! Not even for the best dinosaur chicken nuggets on this Post-Pangea Planet!"
-Initially, they were going to be more Billy Lenz speaking. What I mean is that they'd giggle randomly, make random dinosaur noises, and lack making sense in some of their words. I toned down on it, only limiting it to when they get excited, and their dialogue is moreso based around the persona Louise Belcher or Mable Pines due to their liud and chaotic nature
THINGS SHE'D SAYYYY:
New Datable Discovered!
"HehehehHEHEHEE *rawrraewRAWGRRRH* Hiii! Hii hello hi hi hi!"
Dinosaur Fact on first interraction after meeting
"Ooh! Ooh ooh ooh! I got a cool dinosaur fact for you! Did you know that ptrenadons aren't actual dinosaurs? They're pterosaurs, an ENTIRELY different species!"
>Awesome! Did you know that the male pterodactyls actually had harems?: "NO WAY! I didn't even know that! Well, then, clever human... *giggle* looks like you and I got something in common!" +10 relationship (idk how the points work in the game bc i can't buy it rn💔)
>Oh, cool!: "I know, right! It's weird that not many people know that lil' factoid!" +5 relationship
>Uhm... Okay? Why are you telling me this, you're what, 21?: "Uh, because it's cool? I don't get why you had to tell me that I was 21. 21 year olds can like dinosaurs! You're just not having any fun." -15 relationship
Architectural Opinion (4th day of talking to them):
"Okay, so... I need your opinion. Modern architecture? Yes, or no?"
>Duh! It looks sleek, modern and new! Nothing too straining on the eyes..: "EXCUSE ME?! So you're just going to say that without considering the aesthetics of anything colorful? You won't consider wanting to see dinosaur statues, colorful murals, or even just ONE splash of color that isn't a logo or brand?! You... You SICKEN me! I BET NOT EVEN A COMPSOGNATHUS WOLDN'T EAT YOU!" -35 relationship, will lead to the HATE ending depending on her current view on you
>Not really. Kinda sucks.: "I know, right? It's so boring, and dull! I remember back when I was first bought, I saw so many colorful buildings, and so many fun designs! But now it looks all the same! It really does suck!"
>I say we should make a dinosaur-themed comeback. Maybe have dinosaur themed buildings and designs... Call it the 'Rawring 20's' maybe? (+45 charm required): *She giggles and blushes at your comment, gently patting your arm.* "Hehehehaha! I get it! I also kinda agree with that, too. I've always wanted to be an artist, to just, paint dinosaurs for the world to see. It's been a dream I've had for a while... Not as long as the cretaceous period, but long enough to feel like it." +50 Relationship, may lead to the LOVE ending
>Eh, beggars can't be chosers with design choices, moreso what corporate wants.: "Eh, yourm're kinda right. Still, that's why a lot of buildings suck. Corporate doesn't really care about what people want, only what makes money." +0 relationship
bonus thingy! Bite! (interaction between her, Vaughn, and the player)
Narrator: It seems that you've stumbled upon both Vaughn and Rexie. Rexie seems to be latched onto Vaughn's arm, her teeth an unrelenting grip on the human-rat amalgam. Vaughn is screaming his lungs off as he tries to shake the woman off of him.
Vaughn Trapp: "AAAUUGHHH!! GET 'EM OFF ME! GET 'EM OFF ME OH GOD, NOT AGAIN!!" *He shieks in absolute terror*
Rexie Sorus: *Feral giggling and biting sounds*
OPTION ONE: What the hap is fuckening?
Vaughn Trapp: Oh, y'know, just enjoying the most sharpest of massages... WADDAYA THINK, SMARTASS?!
*Vaughn yelps in pain yet again as Rexie clamps her teeth down on him again.*
Vaughn Trapp: EYOWCH!! For the love of god, stop bitin' me all over!
Rexie: Heheheheheheheheeheehee!! No can do, Rat Boy! You taste good, like prey...
Vaughn Trapp (quietly): Ya gotta help me, PLEASE.
Supoption one a: deal with it yourself (-5 relationship with vaughn)
Vaughn Trapp: EH?! YA JUST GONNA LEAVE ME HERE WITH PSYCHO CHICK?! NO, COME BACK! DON'T LEAVE ME HERE!!
Rexie: *bites him again*
Narratr: You hear another scream leave Vaughn, alongside Rexie's maniacal l, almost feral laughter.
Suboption one b: Rexie, no biting the rat trap, please (+5 relationship with Vaughn, +5 relationship with Rexie)
Rexie: Ugh, fine! Only because you asked nicely.
Narrator: Rexie pulls her teeth away from Vaughn. Bite marks are still indented into his arm from the squarrel that was Rexie's habit.
Vaughn: ugh... whew. Thanks, I really do owe ya one.
OPTION TWO: Rexie! Leave him alone! *pull her off of him with force* (+5 reltionship with Vaughn, -5 relationship with Rexie)
Rexie: Hey! What the hell?! You could have asked!
Narrator: As you pull Rexie off, you hear Vaughn snicker. He seems smug about the ordeal.
Vaughn: Heheh, hey! Be glad that the same thing that happened last time didn't happen again!
Narrator: Vaughn joked, although it did cause Rexie to remember the last time that she did indeed bite Vaughn that his trap had indeed snapped on her. She growls, looking at you.
Rexie: Clever human...
Narrator: Rexie leaves the crawlspace, bitter and annoyed at her loss. Vaughn looks at you, a silent 'thank you' leaving him.
