That actually is a bug :>

        *if marcus_knows != 2
          "Hell yeah, it is. You don't even trust me to tell me who you are… But you… like me? I… don't know how to feel about that…"
          
          "My past is… complicated. But I know you're the one I need by my side to finish this."
        *if marcus_knows = 2
          "It's… a bit? I mean, I don't know. I guess I never thought I had a chance…"
          
          "You do. You're exactly who I need by my side to end this."

The checks here should be for value of 1 instead of 2. The error stems from game using different value for Angela who was told MC’s full story (angela_knows = 2 in such case) and one for Marcus who knows full story (marcus_knows = 1 in such case) and i’m guessing author forgot that when writing this bit.

Heyaaa, I’m back with two redundancy suggestions for ya.

First is when going to the art club before the homecoming

Original “Haley says she’s going solo to the dance ‘just to dance.’ The leader already has a date.”

The “dance” two times fells a little bit off, maybe you can change it to ball

Suggestion: “Haley says she’s going solo to the ball, ‘just to dance.’ The leader already has a date.”

Second one is at the game, when you’re playing it

Original: “Still, maybe you can still do something to help or destroy the team’s performance in the end here?”

“Still” two times, maybe switch it for a “but”

Suggestion: “But maybe you can still do something to help or destroy the team’s performance in the end here?”

Also, one spelling error (I think that’s the name?) after you ask Cecily to be your date in homecoming

Original: “If anyone even tries to ask to the dance again, I’ll make sure to strip them naked and put their pictures on my Cameragram”

I suppose you forgot a “me”

Suggestion: “If anyone even tries to ask me to the dance again, I’ll make sure to strip them naked and put their pictures on my Cameragram”

Another thing, after you go to Isaac’s “prank” in the homecoming with Cecily as your date, she says this:

“That is enough spectacle. Let’s sit for a second. My feet are killing me.”

And you get the choice to choose another thing to do at the ball, but it’s a little strange since she wants to sit. It would make more sense if you went to the roof to sit, not return to the ball.

Thanks for confirming it. Heh, I don’t really dig into the code, so I could sort of see where Marcus might say “don’t really know you” such as knowing each other a few weeks.

A slightly different thing:

Original: “Yeah, miss Perfect here doesn’t want to drink on school grounds,” Michael says. “So she’s just here to warn us if a teacher shows up. Now, you in or not?”

Suggestion: I think ‘miss’ should be capitalized to Miss Perfect.

There is something I think that could be considered a plot hole. If you get Cecily to Friendly before Homecoming, you can get a special scene with her. In that scene, she will task you to ask her out so that she can say no.

The end result is fine enough. However, if you then later ask her out to Homecoming, and she agrees…that kind of nulls the previous scene.

The thing is, since the first scenario was public, and Cecily makes the second public, people in the school might wonder how the player got Cecily to change her mind, maybe increase the player’s rep…but I don’t see Cecily allowing herself to be seen as being ‘beaten’ as it were.

Second, it feels a little off if at the dance and you take Angela she gushes about how she will get a shirt signed by the Fighting Rooster later. If you are part of the band, I think there should be a little comment or quip by the player about not being asked for theirs or something like that.

It’s possible to be friends with Cecily before the homecoming? How did you do that?

Yes it is. I will give some of the stuff I did that allowed for it. I will put this in a spoiler tag.

Anyways, the following happened when I played as a person who can Detect Lies. The other 2 options might make it a little easier or give a slight bump to dialogue choices. Also I’ve been able to get Cecily to Friendly without choosing all the steps below, but this was the most direct way I recall

Step 1: Either choose Swimming as your main specialty, or pick it as an alternate skill like in character creation. Cecily is on the swimming team so this will give you two dialogues. In character creation, I did the popularity option, but I don’t think this matters to be friends with Cecily, but I’m mentioning for the sake of completeness.

Step 2: The first day, Cecily shares the same homeroom as you. She will come and want to talk to you one-on-one.

Step 3: She will take you to look out a garden. There are four options. Choose either the first “Yes, very…” I say, gauging her angle, or Option 4: “…” I wait her out.

Step 4: There will then be two choices in the next screen. Pick the first one: “I say nothing. Not the time to push her buttons.”

Step 5: Cecily will still be Distrustful at this point but you have built up some good will even though there is no change in the wording.

This is stuff in Week 1.

Step 6: If Swimming is your main specialty, then the first dialogue for it will pop up automatically. If not, be sure to choose it in the weekly schedule.

Step 7: The first swimming dialogue has you being directed to put on your swimsuit. Choose the last option: “I just head to the locker room and change. No need to banter.” This should raise the relationship to Indifferent.

Step 8: Choosing whether to go all out or simple didn’t seem to matter. You then go to Cecily feeding the cat. There are a large number of options, but I usually go with the first one “I didn’t know there was a cat on campus.” I keep it about the cat. Option 3 and Option 4 don’t seem to lower it either (Option 3 is where you ask if you can pet the cat, and Option 4 is saying “Nothing’" You will still be at the Indifferent level.

Step 9. By this point the party will go. Obviously you will need to follow Cecily into the maze. You will get a large number of options to reply when Cecily says “I will not go to homecoming with you.” Basically avoid anything slightly flirtatious. For my preference I usually go Option 5 “Don’t worry, I’d never ask you out. Ever.” I half-insult her.

However, you should be fine as well if you choose Option 1 (keep it polite) or Option 6 (that bad/sympathize). Scaring off her fans is probably also a good choice, especially if you play the Cocky Rebel stereotype.

Step 10: Cecily will then dart further into the maze, so follow after her. I usually choose: Option 2 “Fuck that guy.” I help her vent. However, the choice Option 3 is also good: “That kick was incredible, by the way.” I compliment her aim.

Doing this will raise your relationship value to Intrigued.

Step 11: You then get another screen where Cecily tells you to keep her stuff secret again. I usually pick the Option 1: “Your secret’s safe with me.” I offer my pinky. I think Option 2 (where you salute her) and Option 4 (Give a little bow) would be fine as well.

You will still be at Intrigued here but Friendly isn’t to far off.

Now we are in Week 2. If Swimming is your speciality, picking it once should get the second Swimming dialogue scene. If it is not a main skill, picking it twice will bring up the dialogue this week. Otherwise, it will show up in Week 3.

Step 12: The second swimming dialogue ends with Cecily saying you will not have it easy. I usually pick Option 1 (committment to the sport), Option 4 (I don’t lose) or Option 5 (just shrug). You will still be at the Intrigued level.

Step 13: You then come up with 3 choices of who to support. Obviously Pick Option 3, Cecily. Cecily will then order you to follow her to the cat. Obviously do so.

Step 14: Cecily will mention how you must want to be her minion. Option 1: (Your Minion) or Option 4 (Let her talk) raises the value. Congratulations, you are Friendly.

Choosing Option 2 (Nobody’s minion) really doesn’t change things much, but helps with the rep of your persona.

Step 15: If you are still at Intrigued, then you will need to wait for another scene. The best bet is if the group is drinking on the campus. Choices there that can help raise her stuff up is when they mention you taking a drink there is an otpion about “You’re really doing it at school?”

This also has a question “What’s up?” and reply with “The sky.” Cecily will love it, though the others will shake their head
