Z I'm only going to say that I love Prue and want to know what she thinks if Paula gets a lover how the schedule would work

So glad you love Prue!

The schedule would stay merciless as always. So if Paula had a lover, that person would have to adjust like everyone else.

But it would mess with Prue. Even if we consider her going on tour, she'd still want to stay in touch: texting, video calls, late-night calls...

She would resent herself a bit for how much she hates it, because for Prue, Paula absolutely deserves happiness. But... why does it have to rob her of her time with MC?

So yeah, she would use what she always uses to survive: music.

So I believe MC could definitely count on a very affectionate welcome every time she gets back, and a lot of new songs waiting for her.

And probably half of those songs would be really fucking brutal in every possible way.

Me writing parts of the upcoming Split update.

I LOVE both of the IFs you're working on. Especially how you care as much about the MC as the more unambiguous characters of both Split and Vertex Fall! Lots of times IF authors seem to forget that the MC is a character too and is part of their story — the MOST important part, I'd even argue. But you nail the balance of making other characters interesting without drowning out the MC! It's so much fun (⁠~⁠‾⁠▿⁠‾⁠)⁠~

Thank you!

But on the downside, I can't simultaneously work on both IFs, unfortunately. Because Split's MC is so distinct, I'm afraid their attitude might rub off on the amnesiac too much. And I want the amnesiac MC to be much more molded by the player. That's why I'm currently in the 'Split' headspace, treating it as a priority due to how far along it is. But, ngl, it's tempting to jump to Vertex because I really want to tell that story too. But yeah, know your limits 🙃.
