Infamous if (band wip) chap 3 (457k wrds) released (9/08/2024)

See, now that is just plain alarming. I really don’t understand how Seven is so desirable to so many people as an RO.

you underestimate the degeneracy of us hogites. If I can find a certain female ronin from another HG desirable, Seven is tame in comparison.

Are you talking about Junko from Samurai Hyuga?

I want to ruin Seven’s life along with my MC’s, and then I want them to kiss.

Ahh, I like Jun/Junko from Samurai Hyuga, but that’s mainly because everyone else is insane to me. Especially the kid we have to look after, Lord. I still need to finish it. I welcomed Jun and their insanity because they seemed the sanest to me. Seven’s situation is the opposite, but I understand the appeal.I mainly just like analyzing Seven. It makes me want to contact a therapist and discuss this character with them.

Can you imagine being Jane’s therapist and realizing you’re that outnumbered?

Question: How would you all feel if one of our bandmates kept in touch with Seven on a periodic basis over the three years the MC hasn’t seen or spoken with them?

Not my problem as long as they don’t involve me or expect me to participate in any way. If it doesn’t affect their performance in the band, I don’t care.

It will, however, make one of my MCs lose the scant amount of respect she has for them. My other one will just take it and be upset and not say anything.

From a reading perspective, it will make me despise both Seven and whichever band member(s) he’s still in touch with. The fact that he could forgive that, but my MCs–both of whom voted to keep him in the band–have to suffer his vitriol makes him even more of an lowlife, heartless asshole than I already consider him to be.

I can agree with all of that, but I headcannon my MCs as being pretty detached or at least emotionally out of touch with the band already. She’s still with them because she doesn’t really know what else to do, similar to her relationship with her parents. She believes she’s supposed to act and feel and think in a certain kind of way, she’s aware that she doesn’t and that is “wrong,” and that’s what actually hurts because she doesn’t really expect any better from anyone. She’s hurt because she’s “wrong” not because she has been wronged, if you see what I mean.

If that scenario were true, none of my MCs would be concerned, mostly because none of my MCs (including the one on Seven’s route) are concerned with what Seven does. They’re either drinking their weight in booze, sniffing sugar, planning and scheming, or being annoyed by their reality.

Personally, I would judge the band member for failing to assist in mending the relationship between the MC and Seven.

Ooohhh this is a good one. One of my hairbrained ideas is that the secret phone call is between Seven and Jazzy. Still friends in spite of the shite, loving each other platonically. Nothing to do with death or trauma, just two friends that stayed that way in spite of everything. possibly a secret channel of info for seven, but jazzy obvs can’t let mc know they are still friendly/in contact.

The whole band was friends before the thing happened. I think my MC wouldn’t be bothered at all. Maybe she’d actually be a bit sad that Seven ended up cutting off her entire old support network. Not that she’d say it.

Nah. Seven’s an Irrational Rage Monkey. I don’t buy it happening.

Even if it did happen, it’s not like we can do anything about it since they refuse to interact with us.

She does seem the type to keep trying, doesn’t she? The problem here though is Seven. (Really in any of the scenarios.) If he was so pissed at them all over the vote that he rage quit the band, would he even hear out any overtures made by them?

That’s a golden idea! I could see that happening, but there was this Patreon Q&A when Jazzy was mentioned and Seven was asked how it felt to miss all of the milestones she’s currently experiencing, and Seven became silent, wanting a break. Either way, it would still be an interesting concept in the game.

G definitely has the “I’m in my 30s energy” I didn’t even realize they were that close to the Mcs age as they are I read that they were in their 20s but the fact G is as popular as they are in their 20s shit can be stressful when you’re that young keep talking about how my Mc would struggle and i can’t even imagine G.

The alcohol might just be a coping mechanism

I keep up with the Tumblr occasionally but some ages do feel off here especially Maya but that’s probably because she’s an avid fan girl and everybody acts different around their idols.

But I agree she should be more careful around strangers that could bite her in the future from somebody else she might not know who she becomes a fan of could take advantage of her or she could be hurt in the process so I understand Sebastian’s point of view.

Sebastian having Maya that young is the only really questionable one and he might turn out to be more interesting then previous thoughts of course not as interesting as other Ros and secrets from them but still I am curious how he raised Maya and the mother in the equation.

We all know Seven isn’t acting their age right now but that’ll be determined.

I think so. I mean, in a group of what, 5 or 6 long-term friends, wouldn’t seven, of all the needy, co-dependent, clingy people need to keep some semblance of connection? I know it clashes with his actions, but I think internally, he still can’t let go, and jazzy ( imho) is the most obvious choice. She is way more mature than the rest of the lot, I could totally see this.
