Rain’s eyebrows furrow, as she stares at the other. She has not done anything yet, and is simply working on setting up the venue for a little show. Yes, one she is performing at, but not until much later. Maybe she shouldn’t have invited Dylan along.

See, this is why he tried to avoid civilians as much as he could. Usually, it was so he didn't scare anyone too badly and get the cops called on him too early, but right now, it felt like this guy had him at a disadvantage.

He giggles, and Philo gulps. That's good to know.

Not that he'd probably ever come back. It's not good to come back to the scene of a crime. "I'm not going to shoot you." He clarifies, voice pitching up an octave. "I promise, look," Pistol is put back into its holster, gloved hands being held up. "See? I'm not here for you, so you don't have to worry." That's not exactly a comforting thought.

Although the way the other goes about not getting blood on the walls does indicate that Bad Things™ do happen here. Maybe that's a good thing. No one would really bat an eye if hits are happening every other day here. "I'll do my best." He offers with another too casual shrug of the shoulders.

I THINK OUR SIGNALS ARE CROSSED | STILL ACCEPTING!

Why is he intimidated? Why does he feel a slight jolt of anxiety running up his spine? In no world should Philo be in any way cautious towards Dill, who is nearly a whole head smaller than him and has the sweet smile of a Carebear.

But also, Philo still isn't quite used to people assuming the mask is for sex. Like, yes, he knows it could be used in...that way, but usually people caught on rather quickly that Philo was not there to fulfill any of their fantasies. If anything, he's mostly just nightmare fuel.

Although the confusion may be coming from the fact that he's yet to brandish a weapon, so standing in the middle of a mirrored room with a mask in a club well-known for its allowance of such behavior, he can see where the confusion lies.

Philo reaches back to pull a large pistol from his holster, waving it at Dylan as nonthreateningly as he can. "This isn't what you think it is." Shrugs. "Sorry about that."

there's this little smile on her lips as if she knows something that he doesn't. and that's the best part, she does! she giggles, before getting a pack of cigarettes from her pocket. if she's gonna show off, she's gonna smoke while she does.

Midnight had arrived; Siobhan was sound asleep in her bedroom - located on one end of the narrowed hallway. Whilst Blaise was lounging on his bed, occupying his mind with reading. He would flip on to the next page - he froze. Soft mumbling was head from outside. His head craned over to get a better listen - sounding like it had came from the guest bedroom. Blaise would set his book down, crawling out of bed and quietly stepped into the hallway.

Rarely, the McDougal siblings would be accompanied by an unexpected guest; however, their home was always welcomed to those in need. Siobhan had met Dylan from the gas station she had worked. The stranger seemed kind and needed a safe place to stay. And of course, Siobhan could not deny him that. Besides, they had lots of room, and she had the tendency to cook meals with large portions - plenty to go around. She was more than grateful to fill another belly.

i’m p sure it’s just playing up to the slasher movie style of characters, like the whole final girl, the bimbo, the joker, the jock etc, it’s like parodying those and not written like that for the sake of it (or at least i hope lmao)

I see where you’re coming from but that doesn’t make it okay. Including a mammy figure in your media and then saying “we were just making a throwback to old movies!!! that thought this was okay!!” doesn’t absolve you (you the writers obviously not YOU you, in this example) of doing a racist thing by including it. It’s like when actors say horrible, misogynistic things about their girlfriends or exes or whatever and then respond to criticism with “its satire!!”

Satire=/=DOING THE VERY THING THAT YOU CLAIM TO BE SATIRIZING UNCRITICALLY!!! They failed to criticize the behavior WITHIN THE TEXT, so that’s not satire. You’re just straight up doing the thing.

Jess literally responded to being told that she probably uses her body to get jobs/opportunities by basically saying YES THAT’S WHAT ALL HOT GIRLS DO OF COURSE I DO THAT AND I THINK YOU’RE INTRINSICALLY WORTH LESS THAN ME BASED ON THE MONETARY VALUE I HAVE ASSIGNED YOU--WHICH IS LESS THAN MINE BTW--BASED ON EUROCENTRIC BEAUTY STANDARDS!!!

It’s a misogynistic and racist thing to do (the actress that Emily’s appearance was modeled after is mixed race)  

I don’t blame Jess for it, because she’s not real, but I hold the writers accountable for not only making their characters impossible to like (which defeats the point of putting the player in a position where their decisions decide who lives/dies/get injured because there’s no emotional stakes for keeping them around)
