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

She posted a writer reference organizer on Tumblr and it had Mc route and Band route along with each RO.
Might be nothing at all and just the overall plot.

I’m guessing the band plot involves (if not is centered around) dealing with the vote, which is a good example of how the band apparently operates, given that they’ve never had a leader. Though, I honestly wonder if Seven was the leader before the vote, and they may not have liked it–MC is a huge pushover.

They’ve avoided it for too long now, and the band members don’t seem to eager to discuss it. Ergo, it must be discussed. I think it may be one of those situations where things are going to build up between the band, and they may not like MC leading them (since Amy said the band would tell MC off if they didn’t like something they did), and then the MC lets loose about the vote and what happened with Seven, voicing whether they liked it or not, or if they are still upset over it.

I think if things aren’t handled just right there will be infighting in the band and all that “closeness” that we are told is there will prove a detriment (while SV continues to coast along with everyone bowing to Seven, of course). I just feel like the band and MC is a powder keg, ready to blow, and the MC will either have to get over the vote or will hurt the band’s morale by holding a grudge about it.

Just as MC had to get over it, they will have to do the same. No handholding, no coddling.

Haven’t seen the tumblr post, but I could only imagine (in my head cannon) this is choosing band over any RO. My mc is definitely not a pushover, nor have I felt like it from any of the narrative. Also couldn’t see seven as any type of leader. Feel like it’s more accommodating the good of the band over the MC’s personal preferences.

Or the band not agreeing with some choices (not just ro related), and throwing tantrums (Rowan). Hope there is a choice to call them out. That and the damn vote. And I agree, seven does not act like a leader. He or she is being treated like it’s some fragile porcelain on the mantlepiece that MC might break. Can’t “act” in front of the cameras. Can’t even lie about the song he wrote about MC.

Seven’s uncomfortable actions making me nervous cause I feel like he’s going to reveal something unconsciously about us in a tricky question :woozy_face: I hope he understands somehow that there’ll be always an innuendo mentioned subtly or direct when they interview us. I would say Blake is a shark can bite… But anger can be motivation to act up just as can be used against him lols.

now Griffin though… A megalodon lol

It could be. Remember the dialogue with donnie diamond or what’s his name. The clown asks about who is the song about and Seven just had to look at Mc. Cory reads him like a book from the beginning. If he will reveal anything, it will be once angry and drunk enough. Like he was at the party.

Blake will bite. Once he figured out 7 weakness. Now he is only waiting for that right moment to kill two birds with one stone.

G could say the most insane stuff and his fans will probably break their fingers applauding. Even if admitting he was somehow involved with the MC and the cheating, people will still love them.

For me the breaking point in terms of the band was them forcibly dragging MC out to part-ey and Iris making a situation with Seven and him all about herself and her girlfriend. It may sound petty, but I hate, hate and hate once more scenarios where friends of MC dig through their personal shit and react deeply wounded when MC doesn’t tolerate such behaviour.

These people clearly care much more about themselves, so I’ll let them go ahead and do just that. Every man is for himself, Ivan is too busy hounding his ex-something and Anna doesn’t really care much either despite her cheery mask.

I’ll see how this works out, but for me the happiest endings would be Ivan ending up with Seven and pursuing a solo career (maybe therapy, but that shit is expensive, so I bank on love curing his tendencies) and Anna marrying Griffin and moving to a small secluded island, dedicating herself to the only thing she actually enjoys fully.

Is that the part where Iris ask us (R was sitting with us), if we’re a childhood (high school) band ? Or something like that, and we didn’t get to talk rather than being silent? Cause yeah I definitely weirded out and wanted to raise my eyebrows if that was a choice lol

This one?

I think it’s exclusive to ex-something Seven route. Because in my case she used my MC’s relationship with Seven as a base for her own, and stated so pretty openly.

:thinking: oh nope I must have confused the chapters or the characters. What chapter is this? Private or public?

Public demo. Can’t remember when the conversation takes place. :unamused:

:slight_smile: t’s during Chapter 2, Part 2. It’s the scene after the band barges into the MC’s room to go to The Overkill, a corner bar.

You’re welcome.:slight_smile:

The bar scene. Thank you.

Seven couldn’t even choose a bed on the bus so I doubt they know how to lead properly :laughing: the only reason they’re the main singer of SV is bc of their talent yes but also they’re pretty. Avina doesn’t seem like they could lead their way out of a paper bag and Pope and Priest whatever tf they’re called I forget just come across as comic duo up for a good time.

LMAO! His name is Kieran, but that was funny. They would’ve been an epic duo if their names aligned like that. Pope and Priest sounds like a cool duo band name.

Exactly. They got successful (meh) because of angsty. One of the reasons he or she must be protected from the evilness of MC at every step of the way.

Block quote Pope and Priest sounds like a cool duo band name.

Maybe they can start a christian band if the botb fails? Get a tiger? They could do sold out shows in vegas?
