Oh, Danni just loves them!

Oh boy.

Because showing Danni that you are responsible for the twins is totally how you show you aren’t really a Jerk…

To be fair, she already knows he’s responsible for them.

…What? I never said “In his defense”. :p

aw yissss sh** is about to go down

He’ll be lucky if she only yells.

Smooth move, Bandit. Reminding her that you are the one responsible for the twins that drove somebody she cared about to her death is a great way to build on the trust you’ve just started to earn with her. I’m sure she will now be willing to vouch for your character to Kleya and convince her to give you another chance.

Seriously, I don’t get why anyone thinks Bandit plans ANYTHING in advance. His plans are duuuuumb.

Oh, look! Bandit has sisters! (Just copy them, Danni. Sisters can be so annoying.)

Called it, he summoned the twits for Dannis training! ^^ And that spelling error was on purpose.
Interesting that they have almost the same poses as on page 21. I guess that’s their standard pose when they’re loading.

I can imagine next page, Danni’s voice shaking with barely-contained anger:
“Bandit. These two are responsible for bullying my previous partner into suicide. Unsummon them NOW!”

Man, I want to see a discussion about reprogramming them, because if an NPC is very lifelike, then changing the code is almost like brainwashing them.

Oh, Bandit – you brain-dead idiot… Do you not remember the antipathy between Danni and the twins when you first introdused yourself?

Calling it now: Nutshot to Bandit in 3… 2… 1…

Whoops… made a typo. Should’ve been “introduced”.

he remembers and is intentionally sandbagging his quest to get to kat because he already knows who she is

I’m imagining the next scene playing out this way:

*Danni attacks the twins

Bandit: “Uh, are we still practicing how to deal with fans? Because I think that might not go over so well…”

Danni: “Re-summon them, I want to kick them again.”

Danni: “Resummon them! I want to kill them again!”

(FTFY :p)

Time for Danni to show how much she’s grown over the past few (days/weeks/months?). Immediate attack!

But.. immediate attack on the twins? orrr Bandit?? 🙂

Both

I have 3 thoughts on this….
1) Over 9000 on the d*ck move scale.
2) I both do and don’t want to see the special Kat made for Danni used on Bandit. Do because of 1), don’t, because she should save it for if Bandit attacks them again in game and it should be a surprise to him then.
3) this will be a bit convoluted…Jake is self sabotoging.

Remember, Jake was ordered to befriend Danni so that he could try to get close and recruite Kat to help fight the virus. Dr. Idiot believes Kat?Kleya. Jake has determined that KAT=Kleya but doesn’t want to turn her in because he is in love with Kleya. He also wants to understand this behavioral change she is enforcing in her play of Kat. The twits are Bandit’s programmed fans. By choosing the twits he both “unintentionally” pisses Danni off and still can pretend to Dr. Idiot that he was trying to befriend her as well.

The thing I don’t understand is what is Jake’s long-term plan or is he just winging it trying to figure out what Kat is up to while trying to make up his mind if he needs to do something else with the information that he has. He has told Brandon, and gone through a rather convoluted path to get Brandon’s City the programmer they need while still preventing her from being killed completely by just being shoved out into the wild for hacking the game. I do fear that this move will hurt the task that he gave Brandon to get close to Danni.

He’s not going to finish that sentence, is he?

Based on what Bandit is saying, it seems more like the twins are supposed to be opponents for Danni to practice fighting while also giving some sort of in-character commentary, rather than having the twins be ‘fans’ for Danni to impress. I figure the anger she feels at them will make Bandit think she might do okay at a mysterious, dangerous type of personality, a little like Jane, and then they spend a little while developing her as such.

What I think Danni will do: log out. No words, just, gone.

Either the Bandit is getting to Jake’s head and he’s doing this intentionally or he is just really bad at Danni.

You know… I kinda hope she just logs out, he doesn’t have a chance to respond, and she doesn’t even grace him with a reason and is just gone before he can call her back. Then maybe asks Kat for help while The Dude laughs at Bandit for failing so badly.

You know…

This may motivate Danni to practice attacks…

3v1 deathmatch, anyone?

if Danni had that fire ball special

This seems like a very poor decision on Bandit’s part.

Btw: Here’s a link to the twits[sic] in color:

So it looks like they have shorter hair now and there are fewer buttons, but aside from that (and higher drawing skill) I don’t see any difference between then and now. The one with the bigger breasts still loves to advertise them by raising her arms, and since Bandit is around of course she looks invitingly at him. 🙂 Makes me wonder if that guy has given up trying to get a real girlfriend ever since The Ending.

Guess bandit never got the memo

Shoulda put a trigger warning on that, Bandit…

Starts playing “Get Ready to Die” by Andrew WK.

I’m going to go against the crowd, and say that Jake might have just scored a critical success.

Now, Danni will absolutely hate Bandit in game, even accuse him of murder. That will do wonders for making her more interesting. And it will make the whole team look nice and dysfunctional.

By saving Danni, that might give Jake a foot in the door with Kat.
