Did I put that Johnny/Phi moment in there just for you? Well, no, but there you go. I can see why they are usually together in most Strangetown stories. They start out that way, don't they? You're right about the secrets, though. It's not a good thing for any relationship, but Ophelia did make a start by opening up to Johnny. We'll have to see if Johnny does the same, or instead continues to collect the confidences of others without returning the favour.
Was that sequence excessive? *grin* It was a lot of fun. In a number of those shots (the pink bedroom and the hot tub), Ripp is in the female greek house. Others are taken in parts of the Wasteland Lounge, where the SPs play (getting it on in the washroom is very classy, Ripp). Yes, it keeps him busy and distracted, doesn't it? And he realized that he'd crossed a line on the bedroom thing, once he got that slap in the face and was able to step back and see what he was actually doing.
Yeah, Kristen will be okay, just not quite herself. Yeah, Bella Goth, the unrepentant sinner. Well, she is a romance sim with no attachments in life, so can you blame her? The voices in Nervous' head are significant, of course, and could be related to a number of things.
Oh, nice to hear that you downloaded the song to listen along. That's fun. I thought I might have been overdoing it with the amount of lyrics, but I really wanted to fit all those pics in (I had twice that many, so I was actually being fairly selective).
Yes, only real men sing love songs in public, and then cry their eyes out. Ripp, of course, didn't need to get drunk to end up crying, but it made it more of an inevitability. These guys are also in college, so the drinking wasn't just about forgetting his problems. He really just wanted to have a good time and bond with Johnny (we know that Ripp is aware of how irritated Johnny has become with him lately).
That last line is most definitely not a typo. It's heavy-handed foreshadowing. *wink*
