Remember, kids, cultivate alcohol snobbery at a young age! It'll save you from situations like these and might just prevent alcoholism! Sailor Wonderella says!

Just for the sake of clarity, there is no kind of paint thinner than contains any alcohol at all, let alone ethanol. You cannot get drunk on paint thinner, but you can get very dead.

 [MUSIC: Greenhouse].png) Let's shove Venus and Jupiter into the broom closet. 7 minutes in heaven with Jupiter and Neptune is absolutely the correct choice but I do love the interaction between these two here. .png)  [MUSIC: Growing Poppies].png) .png)  ♀: Um. Why? ♃: Because that's the game. ♀: I thought you were going to say Neptune, so I— ♃: What about Neptune? ♃: Why not you. You're safe. You're like a puppy.

That's why I play dumb most of the time. ♀: Like about you and Neptune. But I don't want to get in the way. ♃: ...if you were that worried about me and Neptune, that's actually. A pretty cool friend thing to do. ♃: Haha, does that make you my wingman? ♀: ... ♃: Haha, I am kidding. That is all jokes. ♃: You sure are not like other boys. ♀: Ha. Thank you. It would be a lot easier if I was though. ♃: ..."thank you?" Aha, I finally found a compliment you like. ♃: I envy boys a little sometimes too. Isn't that the good thing about them, that they're easier? A more straightforward sort of evil. ♃: Boys hate you to your face at least.

I thought it must just be being here, like us? ♀: But I think that's not everything..png) ♀: You're not mad. ♃: What am I then? ♀: I don't know... ♃: You're lying. ♀: I thought you said you were getting annoyed because I kept talking about it? ♃: Ahaha.

I just don't. ♀: I know I'm bad at getting anyone to like me and I'm weird and everyone else can deal even though I can't, but I can't. ♀: I'm just going to be like this. I'm not going to be any different. ♃: You're asking to get beat up. ♀: I don't care. ♃: But for real. ♀: I said I'm fine..png)  [MUSIC: Three Eves]Jupiter snaps her hairband.

I admit I'm a little confused on what just happened. Did Venus or Jupiter start choking Venus out of frustration, or did Jupiter accidentally summon her Stand and and it started choking him?

The latter, mostly. Implication being, once you know her ending, you kind of can draw the conclusion that they weren't her hands, but they were her hands, if you catch my meaning.

Arcade Rabbit posted:I admit I'm a little confused on what just happened. Did Venus or Jupiter start choking Venus out of frustration, or did Jupiter accidentally summon her Stand and and it started choking him? The latter, really. Everyone in this cabin is one good push away from being the Devil. Jupiter got fed up with Venus' poo poo, and so she sank low enough to get the hand for choking but not far enough to actually become the devil. Although now that I'm thinking about it having bits of devil magic show up at really low points in your life is probably just something that happens in this society, since Venus brushed off getting choked by a ghost hand instead of freaking out like a normal person. Of course, this would also mean this society is even more repressed since dwelling on your actual problems would get you that much closer to letting the devil in and everyone knows that, but it's not like everyone wasn't desperately burying their personal issues anyway. (Okay, technically she could have choked Venus normally, but you don't act surprised after physically choking someone with your physical hand.)

Holy Hell, I just caught up on this thread. Jesus, this is good. It's like painting only bits, but leaving the real picture in negative space. Of course, having not played the game, I'm assuming... no, I'm Trusting there is a picture to outline when all is done. The moment they talk about "re-wiring" the lock, I knew I was in love. So strange. Of putting. Weird fiction. The characters also give me flash-backs to my high school days. All the characters. As Sophomore, I was ♀ As Junior, I was ♃ And as Senior, I was ♆ VERY interested in the rest of this LP, yo!

If Jupy's secret was she's gay, my money's on Ven being transgender and Nep's sado-masochistic. I could be wrong, though.

Lurks With Wolves posted:(Okay, technically she could have choked Venus normally, but you don't act surprised after physically choking someone with your physical hand.) Well Jupiter's drunk, and emotionally vulnerable at this point too. With the writing as presented I really don't believe that Jupiter doesn't know what's up with 7 Minutes in Heaven, really. And the choice really is presented with Jupiter making the choice, and it being whether or not she lost her nerve to ask Neptune into the closet. She says it herself, Venus is safe. Like a puppy, something that doesn't have any desires attached to it. Only Venus isn't safe, because she runs straight into his victim complex. She's already frustrated, since she definitely didn't go for what she wanted, and she's in a compromised state. So yeah I definitely think she just lost it and strangled him physically, especially since part of her wants to harm-touch as well. And then Venus brushes it off like it's something he expects to happen, even from those he trusts. Goddammit I hate the subtext in this game.

Tollymain posted:i don't think she actually physically grabbed venus by the throat, but this is some good reading here otherwise Well everything here is indeed up to interpretation. I'd easily believe her spectral hands leaking a bit here, especially with her mental state as I said previously. Honestly, whether or not it was her physical hands is really besides the point as well. Edit: Oh yeah I forgot the actual thing I was going to say here. My reason before for thinking physical hands is that she's shocked she did it. Her mom (or dad? Doesn't matter.) said she shouldn't touch anyone else improperly. And yeah.... that qualifies.

Unlikely that those were Jupiter's physical hands. There's an underlining nod to super powers (for lack of better term) in here. The Sailor Moon references, the casual nod to "Transformation Sequences." I think this camp may also be a kind of Professor Xavior's Christian Camp for Gifted Youths.

Funnily enough there was a bug where fast forwarding caused the facial expressions to gently caress up and this would happen:

 [MUSIC: Greenhouse]For this time around, and the next one, I'm only going to show the part where Group West tunes in on god. Most of 2 AM is the same every time, but there's a couple changes based on how you've played that happen in this chunk of the hour.  The devil is never on the same frequency, but you sometimes hear a bit of him by accident when you're changing channels. By the time we find god he's already talking. He never says "for those just listening." He expects attentiveness.  God sounds like every boy you are afraid of talking at once. GOD: —and extract the resulting ink. Place in a vial and explain to it the worthlessness of the treasures of earth. Break it against a mirror, the cause of vanity— Here god references the four humors, or the four human bodily fluids that were thought to determine the physical and mental state of a person: yellow bile, blood, phlegm, and black bile. In the fourth or fifth century B.C., Greek physician Hippocrates incorporated these as the basis of his "four temperaments" medical theory, which would influence European and Islamic medicine for well over a thousand years. Obviously not practiced in medicine anymore, the temperaments themselves still exist as a personality test type thing that's popular among modern Christians. Of interest here is black bile, which relates to the Melancholic temperament (black bile in Greek is µέλαινα χολή, melaina chole). Melancholia, caused by an excess of black bile, is associated with traits like being cold or critical towards others, despondency, and withdrawnness. An interesting excerpt from Sol Tenebrarum - The Occult Study of Melancholy by Asenath Mason: "The black bile, as a corrupted form of blood, was the symbol of death, darkness, black magic and witchcraft. It was believed to cause gloomy disposition, depression and insanity. It darkened the light of the soul, led to obsessions, lethargy, diseases and finally also to death. Among 'melancholy people', meaning those who were most severely exposed to the influence of the black bile, one could find all sort of social outcasts, murderers, witches, necromancers, black magicians, etc. The black bile was the cause of all weakness and sin, and it was believed that when the first humans tasted fruits from the Tree of Knowledge, their blood was corrupted and turned black, which also happens to each man who succumbs to Satan’s temptation."  ♃: Shh, let's listen. ♆: Whatever.GOD: —each of you shall choose. It is certain that the devil is coming.  ♀: Oh no.GOD: It is certain. ♆: I told you.GOD: It is absolutely certain the devil is already here.  ♃: ...GOD: Parables I:I "The devil is only the shadow of man cast from the light of god." GOD: The meaning of this parable is that there is no devil. GOD: The weather is scheduled for 100 with humidity tomorrow. And now for the news—  [SFX: The radio turns off.]Jupiter shuts off the radio. Flac fucked around with this message at 07:16 on Mar 19, 2016 |
