Bittersweet Candy Bowl

See? I made a a joke, ‘cause red string symbolizes love, and we’re... Nevermind. Here’s the place to post your thoughts about the future of any relationships and relationships-to-be, rather than clogging the comics’ comments. Anything is accepted here; go ahead and take a stab in the dark at the upcoming story arc, or just discuss what we’ve already seen with other posters. However, we are going to lay down some rules:

— Flaming is not allowed. No matter how stupid you think someone’s opinion is, they have just as much a right to share it as you do.
— Stay on topic. This thread is about the future of BCB’s characters, not the baseball game last night or the fire-breathing sheep you just slaughtered in WoW.
— “It is better to be silent and thought a fool, than to speak and confirm it.” Basically, think before you speak, and if you know you have nothing intelligent to contribute to the conversation, shut it. This rule is not intended to squash creativity; rather, to allow a fairly level-headed discussion.


Current relationships:
AbbeyxDaisy
MikexSandy
PauloxTess

Possible future:
MikexLucy
PauloxLucy


As of Casting Call, page 8, a consensus was reached; for MikexLucy to ever be possible, Mike would need to understand the pain Lucy has experienced in losing him, and Sandy must prove in some way that she and Mike could never work. PauloxLucy was generally dismissed; it was believed that Paulo is to serious about Tess to turn to Lucy, and that Lucy appreciates Paulo as a good friend, but nothing more.

Please note, these observations are NOT set in stone, especially as more time passes and we gather more information. Always feel free to discuss anything that you think merits attention, and most importantly, have fun reading!

I’m not a baseball fan, that was just the first thing I thought of. And besides, I’d be cheering for the Orioles, not the d**n Yankees. XD

Aaaanyway, Casting Call page 9. Any thoughts? I believe that Lucy will ‘begrudgingly’ allow Sue to throw her into the play with Mike, so that she can be close to him again. Backstage is going to be important here; the assumed privacy could lead Mike and Lucy to open up a bit more, and start to repair those bridges they’ve burned. OR... If the play even makes it that far, the matinee will be a disaster, because all of their tension and anger will explode on stage, and the two will walk off even further apart.

on future relationships, we may at some point get PauloxDaisy. We know how Paulo feels about that one, and something will have to happen in regards to that, if only to end it in order to strengthen other relationships

I feel MikexLucy is comming up xD
and maybe even more Daisy and Abbey!

I’m rooting for MikexLucy, if only because I feel Mike’s reluctance to pursue said relationship is because he’s suffering from some form of shock in regards to the sudden change in Lucy’s personality towards him....(well at least until he spouted his mouth off after everyone put him through the ringer) Also his “creepy” dependency on a girl from his past, Sandy, and their “relationship” (quotations are in place because I can’t shake a feeling of.....how to say, doubt and mistrust in Sandy’s commitment in the supposed relationship and now that I think about it, no input from her side at all) should things not work out between him and Sandy, I believe Mike will try to rekindle a relationship with a few of the other girls before returning to Lucy, at that point I’m not entirely sure as to what will happen in regards to those two, but I can hope for the best.

I really think Sandy is better for Mike. Lucy and Michael had a strained relationship for quite some time before Lucy told him how she felt. I think they can become friends again, but I don’t think they’ll fit together when both have alienated themselves from the other.

Sandy, however, seems to be more of the same mould as Mike. I mean, both have hanged on to their relationship for years - and even though it is possible that Sandy has moved on without having the courage to tell him, I doubt she’d have left him that Christmas present.

I’m rooting for Paulo and Lucy, though. I know it isn’t probable, what with Tess and all, but I think those two are a much better fit than Michael and Lucy. Of course, one of the girls (or more) must be left out (unless David does something really strange or a new character is introduced).

@Drake: Damn, I knew I was forgetting something. Well, too late to change it now, unless we get an edit button. XD

@Jack: I’m rooting for MikexLucy too, and despite his flip-out on Lucy, I still think that she’d be the first he turns to if Sandy leaves him. Question is, will Lucy take him back? No matter how much you love someone, it’s tough being the runner-up AND taking the verbal abuse he dealt out. Yes, she has been abusing him for years, but it’s different; he isn’t fazed by her insults, while she hangs on his every word.

@ILB: I dont know enough about Sandy at this point to have a high opinion of her. Taeshi has dropped a few hints about her in the past, but has clearly avoided giving her any screen time or direct connection to the audience. My opinion is that this distances her, making it easier for the audience to dislike her should she do anything to Mike. Or, the distance could be a more metaphorical thing, about the fruitlessness of always reaching for an unattainable perfection...

Or maybe she’s just been really, really busy. ^^

well, forgive me, but much of my character matchup decisions are based on how I see the plot traveling

I grant that there is a possibility for MikexSandy, but I find it unlikely. I see Sandy more as an obstacle for Mike and Lucy to overcome then anything. This is due to several reasons. First off, go and take a look at when sandy was introduced. The first thing she was was an obstacle. She continued to be an obstacle. Currently, she has no character. Any protagonist with a very well-rounded and well-developed character can be virtually guaranteed to have a happy ending. This points even more to MikexLucy, because they are the main characters of this comic. They have had obstacles to their friendship in the past, which has been overcome. Granted, this is a much bigger obstacle, but Sandy is still a virtually undeveloped character who has done very little other then exist as an obstacle, a route for more character development. Especially in a drama comic, every character will have obstacles put in its way that it must develop as a character to overcome. There was no way that Lucy was gunna get through this story without confronting her abandonment issues, and Sandy served the role of the obstacle that made her do this. On a related note, character development happens in cycles. Each cycle will only be able to have one or two characters developing at once, for the sake of understandability. I believe that Mike must have his turn, as one commenter on the current comic pointed out, and I agree with, Mike is going to have to develop as a character himself. Every character has a weakness, and Mike will have to face his just as Lucy is facing hers now. I believe that we will see, over tie, Lucy is gradually change into a more independent person, and then it will be Mikes turn for development. It has been Lucy’s turn for awhile now actually, and since Mike is also a main character, it is high time for him to have a serious problem. This will (again agreeing and paraphrasing from whoever that commenter was) likely take the form of Mike losing Many of his friends, because in many ways he relies on attention more than Lucy. Once again, Sandy will probably be brought in again as a force of plot rather then an actual character. Sandy is gunna need to undergo a rapid change if she is ever going to become an actual character, and with the hints that have been dropped, I doubt that we will ever see it happen. MikexLucy is therefor an incredibly likely scenario because the only thing that has kept them apart was there individual flaws, and those are gunna have to be fixed by the end of the story.

On another note, Lucy is just better for Mike. She has risked herself to save him at least twice, he has risked himself just to save her a few times (I can only think of one right now, someone will have to tell me if they can think up another) Sandy, on the other hand, has done little more for Mike then playing with him and giving him food. I hardly see how they are really alike.

If anyone actually reads all of that, then I am both thankful and impressed

I consider Michael and Sandy more alike because of their personality. Granted, two completely similar persons would never fit together because of polarity, but Sandy and Mike seem more happy together than anyone else in the comic does (save for Abbey and Daisy, but being happier than them together is impossible). With Michael and Lucy, things seem to have deterioated - that they’ve grown apart. And like I said, I don’t really think they understand each other. But of course, I don’t have the answers to what will happen. This is just what I read out of the current events.

Yes, I did read the whole post, Darkdrake ^_^

I think that was most of Drake’s point, ILB; that Mike DOESN’T understand Lucy, and for them to be together, he has to experience something that will develop him as a person, whether in the form of isolation, an accident of some kind, abandonment from Sandy, whatever. At the moment, a relationship is impossible, but in the near future, after Mike has his little bout with Fate, the two have a much better chance.

I agree with what you’ve said, Mike does seem happy with Sandy, and I would assume the feeling is mutual, but that’s just it; I don’t know. Most of the audience doesn’t know. In fact, NO ONE knows, because not only has Sandy never had any screen time, I don’t recall her ever having a scrap of (direct) dialog, either. By this point, it has crossed from character-yet-to-be-developed to author-intentionally-off-screening, which is a device often used to distance a character from the audience, and make them less likable. Like Drake said, a fully developed, well-rounded character is (in a typical drama) almost guaranteed a happy ending. Well, the reverse is true; characters with NO development, NO screen time, and NO ties to the audience often grab the sword by the blade, if they don’t get ignored altogether.

I believe that yes, things have deteriorated between Mike and Lucy. However, there is still hope for them to salvage the relationship, if Mike pulls off some heavy self-realization. Sandy? So far, that’s just the name scribbled on the back of a photo and a Christmas present tag. In my eyes, it’s just a matter of time ‘till Mike gets over this ‘obstacle’. MikexSandy IS still a possibility, but before that can happen, she’s gonna need some screen time, which Taeshi seems reluctant to give.

I’ve rooted toward MikexLucy ever since the’confrontation’ chapter but I’ve still always preferred the MikexSandy relationship seeing as it has been able to keep through the whole comic without showing a serious dedication or plot development, other then Mike occasionaly rejecting any girl that likes him which starts up some sort of flashback. I’d still be happy if Mike and Lucy do end up together but in reallity I don’t think they’d be happy seeing as any sort of romance between them ends up with someone heartbroken but they seem much happier being close friends and nothing more.
I’m also rooting for the PauloxTess seeing as this is the only person Paulo has’nt been a annoying perv to and instead has a good wholesome relationship but is still able to keep the viewer intrested with the issue off Tess having problems with the age difference.

P.S. @Abelin Sandy has gotten some screen time as she has been in flashbacks and also on TV remember.

“I think that was most of Drake’s point, ILB; that Mike DOESN’T understand Lucy, and for them to be together, he has to experience something that will develop him as a person”

Oh, I wasn’t trying to say that he didn’t mean that, I was just trying to put it in a slightly different way - that I believe the lack of understanding is harder to overcome than what he might think. I see both yours and Darkdrake’s point, but I think the difference is too large. I mean, Michael has had his times of development (the fight with Abbey, the accident and subsequent happenings in Acapulco, and actually realising her feelings). I don’t think anything, save for him finding out that Sandy has moved on, would shake him.

But, really, I’m just guessing my way to this. I believe that Mike and Lucy is a possibility, and a large one at that. Maybe I’m just a bit jaded with the “childhood-friends-get-together” story. ^_^

oh my look at all these words

Ah large commenting. Personally, the only thing I’m hoping for right now is that Mike and Lucy at least be friends again. Why that gotta stop because he can’t be the cat she wants him to be? Also, he made her cry for no good reason, and is a jerk for it. Acceptance from her, and not being a jerk from him.

@Jacob83: Sorry, I should have been a bit clearer. By ‘screen time’, I meant direct interaction with either the other characters, or the audience. The only time she has appeared in the present (i.e. not flashback) was on tv, as you mentioned, and she didn’t interact at all with the cast.

Also, related to Mike and Lucy; their relationship could go one of three routes. Either they remain separated, become friends again, or become a couple. If the two of them, primarily Mike, don’t develop a bit more, scenario 1 is most probable. Depending on Mike’s impending revelation, and how his relationship with Sandy progresses, I see the other two scenarios as more or less equally likely. But I believe that the reason that one or the other has always ended up heartbroken is because they haven’t developed enough yet; neither is completely true to themselves, even Lucy after she made her declaration. I think that if the two of them understand and accept each other, the awkwardness and combativeness will vanish, and they will be able to have a happy relationship.

@ILB: The ‘childhood friends’ romance is a bit overplayed, yes, but it still makes for a sweet story. No matter how many times I see it unfold, I don’t think I’ll ever tire of it. ^^ You’re right about Mike, though; especially compared to Lucy, he is rather unshakable. At this point, however, I don’t think he realizes the need to change.

He has supported Lucy for so long, and he still believes that she undervalues him; in is mind, he has reached a conclusion about Lucy. She is dependent, and needy, and that will never change. I doubt that he recognizes the impending character development, as most of us probably wouldn’t in such a situation. But when presented with a powerful enough force, nothing is immutable. I believe (this may be META talking, but whatever) that Mike has not yet changed because he is mentally rather stubborn; his easy-going attitude protects him from shock, like his near-death (both times) or the alley attack. It may take something world-shattering to shake him out of this empty-minded reverie, be it Sandy moving on, nearly losing Lucy, whatever; the list of possibilities is endless. This IS a story; eventually, his eyes will be forced open, and we can only hope it will be before it’s too late.

@whatanaaaa: We like to hear ourselves talk. We think we’re smart people. ^^

@Moddy Auld: Pretty much our commentary in summation. Lucy, quit whining, Mike, don’t be a d**k. Play nicely, happy ending. XD

NOTE: these are observations made in Casting call Pg8. Since this new thread was started, I’m bringing ‘em here.

@Abelin

You bring an interesting point. To be honest, I don’t really know if Mike and Lucy’s relationship could be solved in a “happily-ever-after” manner. The reason is that Taeshi wrote that the story follows the group of friends from Middle School until Junior High School. They are now Sophmores, so if what the site says is true, then the story is coming to an end. Also considering what I said to Senshuro about the rules of threes, it would be fitting if it ended soon in confrontation with the gang. They first bumped with them when they got lost taking the train. Then Agustus tried to “save” Daisy before being stopped by Abbey. He then went to talk to whom I presume was the leader. And they seem to be planning a series of murders by the looks of it.

So soon they’ll be confronting each other. Here is where I think at least one of the main cast will possibly die. My first guess is that it’ll be Mike. So if Mike and Lucy’s relationship were to be sorted by the time, it’d be a short-lived fling. Though to make the ending a real catcher, before Mike is killed him and Lucy would have had sex at least once (with gags from Paulo both congratulating and insulting Mike for beating him to it). And so if Lucy survived the final confrontation, she’d be pregnant. And the next scene/chapter would be with her and Mike Jr in the future as she reminisces everything with the other surviving friends. But then again, I’m probably over-thinking the story too much… XD

I doubt that it will end with death. It just does not seem to be the route that this all is going, and we dont have any expendable characters to kill off.

Generally the sign of an expendable character is when there is a character whom the audience has seen little of, shows up, is intermediately recognized by friends = so is assumed to be somewhat important, but then is killed off, causing little audience grief, but much character grief.

OR the character who dies is a turncoat, only recently joining the protagonists, and whose death is fitting but still relatively unimportant

OR the characters natural character development ends in death. This is usually by heroic sacrifice

Or they are a redshirt

anyhow, no one seems very likely to die, the violence isnt high enough that it would be unrealistic for all to survive, and no one truly seems to fir the roles above. The only protagonists that I believe are even capable of being killed are Abbey and Sandy, but the comic does not seem to be heading in that direction.

And yes, it will be hard for Mike to change and understand Lucy, however, it seems to be his greatest flaw, and most likely route of character development

@Dandrake

This also comes from previous observations again on the other thread. (Sorry about the confusion I’m causing). But I did say that Mike has been in mortal peril twice already. He nearly drowned and fell of a cliff already.And again relying on the rules of threes, the next peril should be his last. The reason I’m not counting the drugging is that they only intended to steal his money not kill him. But from the little I saw of Augustus plot to “save” Daisy and the Doomsday greeting he gave Tess at the beginning of the year, the situation does seem serious enough.

@Darkdrake: Your ‘heroic sacrifice’ sounds rather fitting for the scene that Pronkat has envisioned. ^^ Taeshi has said that there is a ‘good’ and a ‘bad’ ending to this comic; it’s not unimaginable that Mike’s death could be the final trigger for either one. Mike’s death would be tragic, and most of the audience might be upset, but it’s not a capital sin for an author to kill a main character in the ending. In fact, it can make for a rather romantic ending, depending on how its played. I, and almost every other MikexLucy fan out there, would prefer if he lived into old age at Lucy’s side, but it would make a much more lasting impression (and a more dramatic, fulfilling story) were he to die protecting her. Plus, this would solve her abandonment issue; Mike would always be by her side, in her heart and in her son. A VERY fitting ending; I wouldn’t mind seeing the comic turn out that way. ^^

I hate seeing people die, personally. And I don’t particularly like webcomics ending, especially not if I like them… The 4 previous comments are all really depressing in both respects.

But I suppose they might be necessary from time to time. Hey, if I’d had my way, the comic would keep on going without anyone dying, stuck in high school, without so much fighting and with these relationships: Sue/McCain, David/Kizuna, Michael/Sandy (with her returning), Abraham/Daisy, Paulo/Lucy and Tess/Augustus. I imagine that would be pretty boring, especially with time. ^_^

So I’ll wait and see how the story plays out. Much better than having these silly hopes and dreams where everyone stay happy all the time. They never do…

I’m sure everyone here’d rather the story go on forever. But, every good story has an ending, and Taeshi has already decide the fate of her characters. Like you say, we’re all along for the ride; we can speculate all we want, but we can’t change any of their futures any more than we can change our own. We all have our favorite pairings, and more than a few of us are inevitably going to be disappointed by the ending.


No matter how this story ends, though, it’s gonna be one heck of a ride. ^^

Yes, I agree completely with that.

And I’d rather be disappointed than to see my exact hopes happening, though. First of all, that wouldn’t be near as much fun, and second, if that happened I wouldn’t have anything to anticipate.

Plus, now you have a fall-back excuse should you be DEAD wrong. ^^ Nah, I feel the same way. The fun in a webcomic is in discovery. It’s entertaining to guess at the future, but I’d rather be surprised than confirmed. XD

@ILB

Sorry if the last few posts depressed you mate, but I see that as the only way to really finish the story in a high note. It seems (to me anyway) that behind the façade of comedy, that’s the way the story is walking towards.

I just discovered this comic a week ago and I’d be sad if it’s finishing soon. However, keeping it running forever will just ruin the story by making it run thin (like Daoremon). I’d really love it if the story ended just as strong as it stared when I first saw it.

Another observation I made, is that the comic is called Bittersweet Candy Bowl after all. The ending I envisioned would suit perfectly as Abelin pointed out. Mike’s death would leave a bad taste in everyone’s mouths, but the thought of him being survived by Lucy and his son would be topping to alleviate the situation a tad bit.

well, i know one thing for sure, when this comic ends, i wouldn’t mind seeing another series or new comic being made with some new cast

I dunno, If the rule of threes is involved, I expect that this next time will be the one where Lucy is not there to save him, likely because he put all his hopes on Sandy.
I just dont see him dieing. This is not a violent comic. I read violent comics, and those are the ones where people die just because someone has to. The title is bittersweet, but if a main character died, that would be nmore depressing to me then bitter.

Sure, there would be a lasting, dramatic effect, but an overall negative and somewhat sad one. I guess my biggest complaint is just that it would feel somewhat contrived. It would have to be like “look guys, Mike conveniently got himself into mortal peril, and this time he died!” There is just really not enough danger in this comic for a major death.

Also, I think that the rule of three no longer applies. I remembered the third time that he was in peril:
!st: almost drowning
2nd:almost having his head crushed by the baddie (by the end of that, they were doing a lot more then just trying to steal money)
3rd: huge fall
Personally, I think that this unbases the rule of three as a secure argument for death

You know with the mentioning of the comic not ending that soon and there’s two endings for the comic. Does that mean even after it’s over (whenever that happens) it might still go on for a bit and show the other ending too? That would be cool like deleted scenes on DVDs.

Also @Darkdrake in that post about the types of expendable characters I have to say the first type really sounds like one of the characters in the comic.

@Taeshi

I just presumed from looking at the site mate. But if it goes for longer, completely awesome! (I’d give you the peace sign and w00t too, but that only works on DA. Cheers for the llama by the way)

@jmiles

I know! It’d be like the adventures of their kids or sowt like that! Kind of like 90210 did. If not a whole new group like Skins. That’d be so groovy!

@Darkdrake

Taeshi said I was predicting the end too soon. So all’s groovy, as I seem to have gone off track.

@Chronos

Or it could be like Neon Genesis Evanglion (the original TV run) when one end is all happy taking place in Shinji’s mind and the “End of Evangelion” ending, when Shinji and Azuka are the only ones left alive as all the others became LCL.

By the way, what character are you referring to?

I too am also curios to what characters you refer to. I would completely agree about there being expendable characters, but all the ones that were expendable in my mind kept getting back stories, relationships and their own story arks.

Well the character I was referring two fitting the first description you said

“Generally the sign of an expendable character is when there is a character whom the audience has seen little of, shows up, is intermediately recognized by friends = so is assumed to be somewhat important, but then is killed off, causing little audience grief, but much character grief.”

I have to say when I read that and thought about it Sandy really kind of fits that description. She’s barely in the comic, she would be recognized by all the main characters, is at least assumed to be important, and if killed off wouldn’t really cause much audience grief but tons of character grief.

(Note: this is all based on personal observations and opinions)

Well going with the idea of one of the main characters dieing at the end or near the end of the story, based on the two songs that are counted as spoilers for their respective endings, death doesn’t seem likely.

To start off lets take a look at the song Mala Gente (The song spoiler for the “good ending&rdquo, looking at the lyrics of the song it seemed it could apply to either of our two main pairings, MikexLucy and Mikexsandy. If applying to MikexLucy, it seems to display that Mike decides to break up with Sandy causing her to hate him and no longer desire to even be friends, then when he tries to be together with Lucy he finds that she no longer loves him after rejecting her for what is presumably a long time, so in short Mike gets screwed. When applying this to a Mikexsandy ending, it seems to hint that Mike and Lucy only drift further and further apart until he loses her completely, then comes to find out that Sandy no longer loves him either resulting in their break up, so either way it doesn’t seem like a happy ending.

Applying to El tiempo, it seems it could hint at two possible similar scenarios, one being that either Mike is leaving to be with Sandy leading to a sad goodbye to everyone, the other being that Mike instead breaks up with Sandy to be with Lucy. No matter who he ends up with though, it seems to hint at a separation taking place between the group of friends.

This is just what interpreting from the songs though, but anyway you look at it, death doesn’t seem to be a likely factor in either of the endings.

at Senshuro: well, I did not know about the song spoilers, interesting. Unfortunately, we have actually managed to brainstorm everything that you have said about them, so I guess I can only say that I wish we had more to speculate on.

at Chronos: I have thought that Sandy might be a likely candidate for death, but if it does happen, it will be off screen. She is not involved with the main cast enough to actually get a chapter dedicated to her dieing. Perhaps she could die in a plane crash or some such? The biggest problem with this would be that Mike, while he would go through intense grief, would still have the backing of his friends, so not a lot of development there. There could be other events first, and that could make it work, but it would still be less powerful them Mike actually making the decision himself. The biggest problem is really that her death would only cause direct grief in Mike, which would really lessen the impact overall.

shit. THanks for ruining everything I was trying to argue. I thought I was doing pretty well, and now I gotta go rething everything I posted, and then try to speculate on who dies. Dammit.

I had assumed that we would get a whole chapter dedicated to a death, just said that I didnt think that it would by Sandys death that would get a Large chapter, though the effects of her death could I suppose.

How soon are we talking about here anyways?

Okay gave this a read over, and while I don’t have any particular view of what I think ‘will’ happen (anythings possible!) there is one flaw I see in a lot of the suggestions here. It seems a lot of people are saying…

“This is more likely to happen because that’s HOW STORIES WORK”

That one character is more likely to get killed off, or one plot path is more likely to happen because of the rules of Tv-tropes, and story telling. Because one path would be more dramatic then the other, and so on.

What invisible force is making Taeshi follow these rules?

Averting common trends is… well… a common trend in itself! Plot twists, surprises, you name it, anything can happen! Don’t get me wrong:I’m not saying the Trope-fitting futures -won’t- happen, nor am I saying that it’s the only argument being presented here:You guys have been backing your arguments up with more then just that! My main point here is that the rules of drama are unreliable, which makes them a weak argument over all.

In general, the rules of drama are very reliable. I have seen most of the things I talked about a few times, somethimes clearer then others, but there all the same.I grant that this comic has a tendancy to be more unpredictable then others, which is probably one of the reasons that I like it, but many things, especialy character development, are dynamics that are hard to change wile still maintaining a semblance of plot. Given that deaths are often the result of character development, they are more or less predictable. THe problem is that if anything breaks the mold too much, it can appear illogical or disconnected or hard to follow, which can just make the writing worse.

Well, been reading for quite a long time, and only wish for:

1. not ending anytime soon, I mean, the webcomic it’s in it’s peak!
2. MikexLucy, been expecting it ever since “Confrontation”
3. Less spoilers! DAMN…stop messing with my head
4 and final. Augustus being the one dying -muahahaha, he deserves it- >

@ArceDeer

While I also hate mate, some things that do end at their peak make the biggest impact. The only example I can come up now is the Beatles. They were at their best musically when the court hearings begun, and even today impact of their music and the media circus following their hearings can be felt. Still, Taeshi said I was predicting an end too soon, so there’s nowt to worry about!

Ironically, I had a hunch that the person to be killed off was going to be Kizuna. Or Tess. Or perhaps Abbey. The last two would have created drama on a near unimaginable scale, though.

BEST DEATH EVER! I hadn’t a bloody clue what was going on, but I loled for minutes straight. Great suspense created suitcase XD

I just knew it. ^_^

You know, something like this would be Souppy writing that script for you Taeshi.

Well, there was a death, it fit with Darkdrake’s theories and my vision. So no complaints there. Now we can get back to BCB. I can’t wait for Friday…

Dont you just hate it when those little voices that tell you that other people are tricking you turn out to be right?

Alright! Time to bump this thread as the Red String has made a new and interesting knot!
Time to start:

1) So, Lucy’s clingyness to Paulo, will it lead to conflicts with Tess?
2) Are Sue and McCain going to become closer? AND
3) Is Jessica going to confess to Lucy?

Post your thoughts on these (or any other theories) now!
