Curvaceous Cardinal Vices

So, lemme ask you guys, just for my own curiosity: Where do you think the story is going? What do you think the ending's gonna be? Why Sid to begin with?

[vidgamer85]

I honestly can't say for certain, there have been no indications of all this leaning towards any one ending really, I can make a number of guesses but nothing solid. All the questions kinda tie together so...

- Sid is an atheist and its in both the interest of the G man and Stan to get him on their side to prove something to the other one; the girls are just the pawns for their little game.
- His purity while not being divine in any way gives him some sort of special potential, like being able to turn a demoness into a human (most likely Envy because her own personality traits make her sympathetic as well), so corrupting him is important.

Only other thing I'd like to think should happen is that Pride should get her comeuppances at some point.

I can only predict that Envy and Sid will legitimately get together somehow. I think Sid was chosen for pretty much the same reason Job was - some random dude who they could pick on.

[SoylentOrange]

You're certainly not the first person to try and Ship Sid and Envy, but why? Is it just because Envy gets picked on by the other vices? The vulnerable one needs to be saved by the hero? How cliche' can you get? >.>;

[vidgamer85]

No more cliche than the 'good guy' always defeating the 'villains' fella, as has happened thus far.
Like I said, her personality traits make her a sympathetic character despite it being a "vice"; whereas the others embrace their traits, she seems to have them in spite of her self, and hasn't thus far displayed any form of aggressive jealousy.

This, in a nutshell.

Oh snap.

Also I fear I watch too much MLP, Erin had Fluttershy's voice the entire time in my head...

[SoylentOrange]

I won't lie to you, I took a *lot* of cues for Erin's speech here from Fluttershy. ^^;

Though I would appreciate more than an image macro's worth of a review- what'd you think? Did I throw you for a loop at the ending there? ^^;

[vidgamer85]

Most definitely didn't expect that to happen at any point in the story (though I've never exactly been good at predicting what would happen), which is definitely a good thing. You know how to set up things in a way that defies the expectations without it being something completely out of left field (no Shyamalan weak twists here).

Now I say "Shit just got real" in a completely serious way though. Thus far each of the events with the girls has been formulaic, with a gradual drifting as Sid begins to catch on to something screwy happening, which is good as that way each chapter isn't a mad-lib of the previous one with different locations and vices. And the events here just makes everything take a huge turn in the plot and I foresee things picking up in terms of action and frequency of events.

Sid.

Buddy.

Don't be Jesus.

[SoylentOrange]

What? ^^;

[cyero]

Leadin' up to a Messianic archetype thing here.

I hope to be proven wrong because you're better than that.

Also it's late.
