In which love interests reside in blood jaccuzis; Let's Play Jenna Moonlight!

OK, so, let's finish Annej's route!


Oh god, a date for the end of the world?


That didn't end too well last time, dear.


Refering to yourself in the third person does not make you Stas! You won't sway my opinion!


HELLO BAD CODING. Mimicking Mobley's voice will not make me love you either, shifty woman!


...And she never shows me what is was. Whoopey.


Oh god, you're going all armageddon on my ass again, aren't you?

So we have enough exp to woo her, let's try a gift.

You said you're hemoragging and hungry right? Eat blood, that makes everything better!


I feel creeped out, how 'bout you?

So I take her out on the town like she wanted.

Wat. We're at.. 'Heaven?'


This is the sticker pic. SHE'S STILL BLINKING!


A kiss that makes Jenna lok rather masculine...

Epilogue!

And despite insisting she was going to die constantly, they're.. Alive together?

Well, that made no sense. @_@

Hey! Hey Eboby! I'm going to try to knock the blood prince out tonight, just for you, so I can finish this thread!

YOU EXCITED?

SO EXCITED. THAT ENTIRE ROUTE JUST LOOKS LIKE ONE BIG DONNIE DARKO REFERENCE PLUS BLOOD PONDS.

I need to see Donnie Darko still.

But Para's reference on teh first page to Oedipus is pretty dead on. : (

It makes my everything frown with frowning. I seriously will take the shota in the second game over Fantom Junior.

Anyway, I'm around halfway done screenshotting!

Oh are you fucking kidding me? I can't get into imgur!

Can anyone else check and see if it's doing the same to them?

Stupid imgur, no overloading! It's Blood Prince time!


Hey buddy, didja notice your eyes keep cycling through colors every second? Just sayin'.


I'm crushed. Really. I can tell you're related to Blinky, though.


I thought you were a vampire? Or a blood.. thing?


Yeah, I am afraid. Because, you never get out of that thing. I've never seen your lower half. Which leads me to believe you're bathing not only in blood, but your own disgusting filth. NOT TO MENTION YOUR MOTHER. I don't want in your mother, sicko.


You touch me I'll rip your teeth out.


Then why are you so pale if you're not afraid?


Characters in this game are awfully repetitive. I guess the author couldn't think of anything to say even for the tiny, shallow script she wrote...


NOPE!


DIDN'T WE HAVE THIS CONVERSATION!? Somebody hit me with an oh god gif!


I don't have a good feeling about that...


You gave me... My proper name? Oh joy.


..? Ooh, are you breaking out of the mind control?


Because you're knucking futz and no one asked for this? Whatever this is.


That sounds wildly unsanitary.


Pushy aren't you!? How about no?


YOU DID NOT JUST CALL ME YOUR REPLACEMENT BITCH. Stupid Annej.


Yeah, how about, go fuck yourself.


I control my own destiny!


...! You're identifying yourself as seperate from your mother! Maybe I WILL talk to you!


We are becoming his world! Over MOTHER!

I decided to break up the usual order and give him a gift now, to hammer the wedge between him and mother in a little more!

Do you suppose he's sentimental enough to like a love pendant?


Ohgod! What happened to your FACE?


WHERE ARE YOUR NIPPLES?


Erm, maybe? That's better than the last few things you asked of me.



NOPENOPENOPE! PASS THE BRAIN BLEACH!


And we've lost him into a yandere place...


Well.. that's.. Sweet.


GTFO!


The crocodiles?


Oh joy. Ruling over uninhabited nothing. Reminds me of another LP I want to do! :D


Ugh...

Well, no turning back now, I guess. We go in for the kiss...

WTF AM I LOOKING AT HERE? DISEMBODIED HEAD WITH NO DISTINGUISHABLE FEATURES? That is worst CG!


Well, even after attempts to seperate him from mommy and him seeming to lighten up.. This happened.

........

No wait.

NO.

I REJECT THIS REALITY!

What I want to know is why the holy fuck does he have ears? Or horns or whatever in the seven circles of hell those might be protruding from his cranium. I also want to know if he ever plans on getting his neck fixed. That can't be comfortable. And good god that was the laziest blush I have ever seen. -actually feeling an urge to rewrite that story just for her own viewing pleasure- Yeah, he might have been the most tempting route, but that doesn't mean I can't verbally tear the design apart brutally.

LOGAN! C'MERE!

I WILL HIT YOU UNTIL MY STRENGTH IS ENOUGH TO CONTROL MY FATE!


MY MALLET HAS BEEN UPGRADED TO A SCIMITAR, SO IT'S TIME TO DIE!


THAT'S GREAT. BUH-BYE. SEE YOU IN HELL.


STUPID FAIRY EARS. I CRUSH THEM UNDER MY HEELS.

AND THEN Eboby BECAME THE BLOOD POND AND THE THRED WAS OVER.

BEST END.

/mike drop

I'm OUT!

He's naked? I thought he was wearing a bunny suit with pink ears.

Also: Yay! I'm a blood pond! :D

Fantom Sr. had them too, I believe it was explained as him originally being a nature/fox spirit back in teh My Cup of Tea games.

The second game if you pay attention, is like asick, uninspired version of Avatar/Ferngulley in that the Blood Pond was allegedly a nature spirit who went all Sephiroth on everyone to stop humans polluting and killing the earth, etc. Though, the first THREE games before that imply that she's just jealous of the protag-chans stealing her favored children from her. Inconsistant.

Naked, stewing in a pool fo blood, permanently. Eugh.

Huh. I think the basics behind Fantom's route could be really interesting in the hands of a competent writer actually. Even sans bunny suit and especially with the blood stewing.

I like the implication of the first three games, thanks. :D And yeah, Hexxus being the spirit of a volcano or some crap like that who was tainted by pollution or something like that is actually a thing. But for an embodiment of noxious fumes and disgusting sludge, he is a sexy mofo and I would make all the lovins to his voice.

Which also happens to be the voice of Drake in the Pebble and the Penguin... Ah well, I wanted to romance Scar, too, so I think we've already figured out I have some issues with a Villain kink.

It was handled a LITTLE better in the second game I guess? But yeah, there's a lot fo things that could have been handled better as a whole. In fairness, she did this just for fun I think and wasn't expecting a conssoseir critique. It's aimed at young, dumb adolescents.

Ohhh. you aren't the only one. I also had a thing for Scar. Who DIDN'T? I'm bad about jonesing for video game villains in particular. Ever seen Mugestu from The Bouncer?

Oh hey, yeah, check out The Bouncer and see what what's-his-face, the main kid from Kingdom Heart will look like at 19. Seriously.

Well, if you want... Maybe... I could mess around with that thur story a bit. Justdon'tgetmeintotroublewiththemaker,okay? <3

You guys know what's really sad?

I've played these games so much I've actually pieced together the story into something almost comprehensive.

Proof how bad it is?

She has another game after the Moonlight series called Dynasty Lovers. My favorite character is a wolfman who if you do hsi route, explains that he's another child of a blood pond, like Stas and the Fantom boys. Note there, I believe he said A blood pond, not THE blood pond, which implies there more than the one that was outside of town in the My Cup of Tea potline that includes Jenna Moonlight.

I could have remembered that wrong though, and it's the same pond. But if so, that means he travelled a long way,a nd the Blood Pond's been existence for centuries.

I HATE MYSELF.

Fanfiction is perfectly legal, isn't it? And if you're worried, credit the original author and link back to nummyz if it's posted anywhere.
As long as you're not claiming ownership to her intellectual rights, I don't see why one could write something based of it...

Oh, I was more worried about having to deal with someone screaming at me for changing the story. Because I'm not torturing myself with the entire storyline just to make it accurate in this case. o3o;;; I'm just sort of going from what I piece together into what I find to be a nicer story.

DO IT.

And Teddy, thats not sad. Sad is the fact that I linked an Akira video more than a MONTH ago and I'm still having feels.

Alright, I'll get right on that!... After school. Because it's one in the morning. I should really get to bed. >>;;; Damn you all and your ability to make me choose interwebs over sleep.

<3

Oh, the author woudl be more concerned abotu legal rights from all the copyrights and 'LOL DON'T STEAL GAMES' messages on Nummyz.

I'M the one who'll point out inconsistencies if you use the same names/chars for your version. Because I pieced the stupid story together over 10 years. xD

Just kidding, I doubt I'll have the energy.

SLEEP IS FOR THE WEAK! Come let me love you, E!

Sorry, I thought we went over this. I shall never let you love me because I'm too busy loving you to let you love me. But really, I need to sleep. If I litterally fell asleep the moment I turned off the computer and shut my eyes, I'd still only be getting a little under six hours sleep because I have to get up at seven.

And I'm a teenager. Teenager Ede+less than nine hours sleep=what freakin' reality do you live in?

HA. I'm in my twenties and feel crappy when I don't get 10 hours sleep.

Have a godo night, E! LOVING YOU.

Eboby: Experience momentary panic about Edel's age.

Oh, you do. Is this another person you can't hit on?


Eboby: See the age on Edel's profile. React accordingly.

Edel, bby, I know a few other ways to keep you from sleeping. >;3

-chuckle- Yes, sending people into conniptions over little misunderstandings is what I do best. <3 But no. Bed. xD

Wait, I played the My Cup of Tea games. I remember them being ridiculous and silly. How did they lead to this monstrosity?

ETA: In order to solve this mystery, I offer to play and review all this chick's games for nostalgia FOR SCIENCE and report back in this thread. Okay with you Teddybear of Death?

I don't see why not.

I can tell you, the first game has no relation I can remember except the author's favorite couple being the codeword for makign the second game easier in cheats. The second game, through soem jiggery, you could find Fantom, guardian of the forest or whatever who vaguely reference the Blood Pond and how he couldn't leave the ground, etc.

Jenna Moonlight is the direct sequel despite the name change, as Jenna was the protagonsit's bff in teh first game, and a suspicious, 'omg u preps' style 'wiccan' working in a hot topic or something. Because the cannonical coupling in MCoT2 is Protag(Ari)xFantom, and he leaves the Blood Pond for Ari, Blood Pond snaps and sends the world to hell.

As for whether Fantom Jr is actually their child or a clone the Blood Pond created, I can't remember if I ever figured that out.

These are the things that I know.

The only other game I know that has any other relation after Jenna Moonlight 2, is the reference I mentioned in Dynasty Lovers, where the wolf guardian being treated like shit Stas-style by a dragon, is a child of the Blood Pond. After that, she abandoned this storyline, I think.

Then Kaleidoscope happened and was actually kinda good. I still like Kalidescope 2 a lot. The little jock guy is really sweet... Lots of feels in that game.

I clicked through the first three games and then I was like "Nope. I'm getting out of this before my brain breaks."

What I learned:

• Jenna Moonlight is, as you say, main character's best friend in the first one and a shopkeep in the second. She's not romancable in either and is kind of a giant bitch. She's GOFFIC and KNOWS DARK SPELLS and HATES THE MALL BECAUSE IT'S FOR PREPS. I have no idea how this turns into Jenna Moonlight: The Game.
• I can't decide if the girl love interest in the first game is supposed to be a clone of Annej or if this girl just draws all her women alike.
• Amusingly, although Ian is set up as the True Love Interest in MCOT 1, the only ending that doesn't say "But this isn't the best ending!" is the one with the only girl.
• One of the love interests in MCOT 1 is named Liger. Liger. Also he's a total asshole.
• Sara needs to get better friends. Jenna is clearly a bad influence and the other girl's like "Oh, you should try dating alone otherwise they'll just ignore you for me!" Bitch.
• I feel embarrassed that I cannot for the life of me figure out My Cup of Tea II. I can go to the school and study but not date the hot teacher so what's the point, and I can feed my dog and do makeup but why, and I can go to the park where I can waste my HP talking to my brother who's with some other guy I can't click on, and I can go to the beach but NO ONE THERE WILL TALK TO ME. IDGI.
  
  So, um, yeah. I decided to quit while I was ahead. I admire your dedication in this LP!

Points of response;

Point 2 I think they all look alike since her art skill wasn't too good.

Point 3 I can't remember if they have multiple ends and you didn't get the best version, or not. The first game was like, half-finished, clusterfucked and not made well.

Point 4 I KNOW. xD

Point 5 I KNOW! I KNOW! omfg...

Point 6 Would you liek soem help? No, the teacher is not an option. This is a Jap otmoe where inappropriate teacher/student relationships are expected. Just interspecies ones. Makeup effects dates/endins, if I remember correctly an dnot feeding your dog EVERY DAY causes it to die at the end. Solve your douchy bro's riddles and you can bang date his bi best friend. Peopel at the beach only talk to you if you buy ALL teh swimsuits. Why? Dude, I dunno.

WHY DO I KNOW THIS?

THAT MAKES SENSE. Well, it doesn't, but you know what I mean. I could not figure out for the life of me why 90% of the LIs wouldn't even talk to me.

More questions: what's the point of buying food for the mall girl? What's the point of talking to Jenna? What circumstances need to happen for her to share her DARK WICCA spells?

Whew, these are hard ones, it's been a while since I played. I don't think feeding the mall girl helps you in anyway that I found. It just exists for the sake fo existing. I'd need to replay and check again though, so I may try to load this and give it a look over.

I think Jenna's spell is related to the Fantom plot. Her magic frees him from the Blood Pond or something like that, so he can be with Ari.

And yes, that means Jenna caused the events of her self-titled game by allowing ArixFantom and directly defying and interfearing with Blood Pond, hence the rivalry, making Annej in her image, etc.

Oh god, it's all coming back to me...

HAHAH. I forgot you can poke Jenna's cheeks to make her fangs pop out...

Oh. Mai gawd.

I forgot how hard it is to get Fantom's good end. For fuck's sake. Seriously. I've done everything I can remember, and that was pretty elaborate.

How the hell did I win this game before? @_@

Jacquelle, why did you have to go and convince me to play this again? xD This is torture.

I'm sorry ;—;

YOU SHOULD BE. I just wasted a lot of time andSTILL got a bad end. I can't remember how many times you have to date him before his exp is high enough for a good end, plus you have to talk to people in the correct order at the party at the end.

FML, really. I remember how unfun this game is. Only like 3 nummeyz games were actually fun to play...

I JUST FOUGHT ONE OF THE FINAL BOSSES IN SUIKODEN 5. IT TOOK HALF THE TIME AS TRYING TO FIGURE OUT AND FAIL FANTOM. AND I WON LIKE A BAMF.

Clearly, I am suited to a different style of games! D:

You know, the kind where you win by STABBING FISTS WITHA AN OVERSIZED FORK.

...I love Nakula and his pierce technique. <3

THAT'S OK. Because I still love you so much it's physically painful.

Speaking of yandere, all of my yandere face as I fight a series of mini-bosses on suikoden that I over-prepared for. After playing MCoT2, it's it so very, very cathartic to beat the shit out of something and enjoy the sight of it dying. Fuckign robo-giratina's death rattle is my soothing lullaby back into Not-Fantom places.

Never enough killing. Why not more than 3? I don't want to do the paper-rock-scissors duel and drama scene. Just mroe of this. More slaughtering the mighty. Must. Vent. Dating. Aggression.

What is wrong with me? A game shouldn't do this to you, should it?

<3

You should LP this game. Let us join you in cathartic rage killing!
