Finding Miranda (En, Sp, Fr, It, Ge)

[Mortze]

It is a very cool thing indeed when people start doing fanart on your work! Really cool mkh!

[Marco6661]

Interesting ideas, Mr Mkh...

[xCooLer2]

I've created a monster ...

[mkh]

Completely and utterly wrong, but cool. (-:

mkh, I think you'll be happy with FM: Alpha...

Until you and Mortze prove me wrong, I believe I'm right (for the next 6+ mounts at least).

Anyway, xCooler2 did trigger me and then I found that "The good girls have an 'A' in end of name" patern (except for Sarah, but again...Xara did explain why).
Hell, even Elsa's cat have and 'A' in end, it might be a male, but we could him a pussy(cat)...

About Finding Miranda as game :
Miranda is a sexy girl and I realy like, that she change clothes and hairstyle all time. That make her more alive.
But I must admit, that she have more luck with making clothes, than painting...
I like, that I had to puzle a date together (in best Miranda spirit). I don't mind the premaded dates, like Tavern and Casino, but the chance to choose give me a feeling, that I have an impact on game.
My favorite was 'Low Key' date, it had a bit of everything in it

and a hidden bonus later on, if wanted

and 'Ice Rink' secund, because it shows Miranda can fail and who wasen't a catch in her early life. Both of those dates take some of her 'superwoman/babe' status away and make her real.
I like, that it's possible to complete game without being kicked out because of lack of points (did that in first try), unless

Lukas get to horny in cheating paths...such a BITCH! (at least it gave an archievement.) or he leave Miranda alone at end (Jerk! Granted, that it wasen't a completely legal action, but still...JERK!)
I was a bit surpriced, that there wasen't an archievement for that, since there's one for die horny.

Scene with Karen in 'Timid Widower' touched me. However Karen give me a problem (and I'm not Miranda, mind you). What if she decides to return in 'Elsaverse part 4'? (I'm shameless, I know. But until you prove me wrong, that's the name of next game!)
If she's dead, Elsa could call her to a new dream and if she cheated, she know where Lucas live, unless he moved in with Miranda. My problem here is semilar to DwE, where Jason was either romantic or sexual. Is Karen dead or did she cheat on Lucas?
In my world was she killed. I can deal with that, not cheating.

Downsides in Finding Miranda:

Thinking...
Shh, still thinking...
Ohh I know...As game went forward, I realized, I wanted more of Xara. I hoped, that someone would try her out. She would probably have wiped floor with him (or her), but hey, he (or she) did one for the team!
Why, you ask. She dosen't show much skin...That's right, but who is most sexy. A naked girl or a girl, who let imagination running wild?

We actually see a little bit more of her in the short story "Royal Guard." A very sexy and very scary lady.

[mkh]

Yeah, I have Royal guard, but what I realy meant was I wanted to see more of Xara...with less on.
And with someone, who don't find her scary...Might be a hard task though.

[kaiowas]

wow mkh you really put some thought into this, not bad

You know, posting about this started me thinking. Never a good thing.

Miranda seems to know a lot more about Xara than other characters do or even what we (the player/viewer) have learned from the stories and games. She knows that Xara is "the most dangerous person in the room" and that she has difficulties with polite social behavior. We have seen Elsa interact with Xara in dreams but Miranda is a bit more of a mystery. How did they meet up? How does Miranda know so much about her? Miranda is the most skeptical about Xara but still works with her on occasion. I suppose she could have learned about Xara through Elsa the Dream Master, since she and Elsa are friends.

Curious. Plots within plots. More to learn in the future as the larger story plays out. Devious, tlaero.

One of the perks over the last year included a picture of Xara having sex with someone...

I didnt want to mention this but...
Ive seen on your patr page that the perks come to the 10s partners and im more into your games for the story and not as much for the sex scenes (you can get free porn anywhere these days so for me its not the sex scenes that i enjoy most in your games) i really thought about this and supporting you guys however i have a family to provide for and a house to pay for every month (not to mention all the bills) so unfortunatly i came to the conclusion that 120s every year is a bit much for me.

sorry if this isnt the right topic for this

Nope, you just woke me up

Miranda seems to know a lot more about Xara than other characters do or even what we (the player/viewer) have learned from the stories and games. She knows that Xara is "the most dangerous person in the room" and that she has difficulties with polite social behavior. We have seen Elsa interact with Xara in dreams but Miranda is a bit more of a mystery. How did they meet up? How does Miranda know so much about her? Miranda is the most skeptical about Xara but still works with her on occasion. I suppose she could have learned about Xara through Elsa the Dream Master, since she and Elsa are friends.

Miranda and Chloe was childhood friends and Miranda spended lots of time in Chloe's home, so she had probably have seen Xara there too several times, maybe even watched her train and talked with her, since Morland was her former boss.
I think, that Miranda was born with her skill and that Morland found out about it, when he learned Miranda about how to drain a casino and maybe he used her to drain other casinos.
At a point had Miranda probably figured out, what person Morland was and wanted to get out and then she became a problem for Morland, since he knew, she knew too much about him and could solve rest, whenever she wanted to do so. So he gave his daughter, Chloe, a mission, but never told her, that Miranda was there and that she was the real mission.
Xara was 'blind' all the time, she worked for Morland, until he tried to have Miranda killed, then she saw what kind of person her boss really was and she revolted against him. As result, she got blind for real. Xara's social behavior is...well bad, but's that's not why Miranda is skeptical about her and she don't have a problem with her fighting skills either. Miranda see Xara as a misfit, just like she see Elsa and Jessica as misfits.
Elsa can join other people's dream. It's a kind of hypnotic skill, but she don't require her 'victim' close and that's not normal. Miranda do however accept her as a friend and since she don't sleep, she's immune to her.
Jessica can affect lots of people at same time with her singing. Singing is kinda just a fast talk with music and there are a lot of people, who can get away with much with their sweettalking. It's a more normal skill than Elsa's, but still wierd. Jessica could be a good friend too and Miranda allready figured out, how to be immune to her singing.
Xara however...She can command with animals in a way than no others. I guess Miranda have figured out, that Xara did send that raven, because she don't agree with Lucas, when he talk about coinfidence. She most likely own her life to Xara, but it was probably also because of Xara, why she was in that situation, thinking... I think, that Xara actual was the one, who found out about Miranda's skill and told Morland about it. Miranda don't hate Xara for that, she do support her (Tadaka sisters) and help her now and then, but she can't rate her as a friend, not yet. In time perhaps (if Tlaero want to).

Speaking about Lo...ehh Tlaero, I'm sorry, but you're wrong.
Miranda IS more powerful than Elsa and Jessica. They might have a headstart, but Elsa can't affect Miranda and she know, how to be immune to Jessica.
Other people would also accept her skills easier and most without secund thoughts, since it is a normal skill. It's extreame, but still normal.
And finally...How do you beat a person, who allready had figured out a solution, before you know yourself, what you're going to do?
Granted, you could kill her. It's allready tried and gave her more time to destroy your plots.

BTW...I forgot to talk about Bonus in FM in earlier post...I wanted to and had planed, but...
I was surprised in a good way.
It was sweet, it was touching and I really felt bad for her, who we're not supposed to fill bad for (unless our name is Mortze).
If ever I got my hands on that man...(not you Mortze, the other guy), but I guess, there's a LONG line to wait in.

i really thought about this and supporting you guys however i have a family to provide for and a house to pay for every month (not to mention all the bills) so unfortunatly i came to the conclusion that 120s every year is a bit much for me.

I fully understand, Kaiowas. I would never suggest that anyone send money they can't afford to us. Your family and bills are WAY more deserving of your scarce funds than we are. No worries at all.

That said, you don't have to give $120/year to support us. If you can afford $21/year, then give $10 one month and $1 for the remaining 11 months. Every month that I send out a $10 perk, I also send the perks from the previous months. So this is a way to support us and still occasionally get something.

But, in the end, only do this if you're comfortable with it. I'll feel terrible if someone's kid goes hungry or they miss a payment because they were donating to me.

Caravaggio, it's weird that you said positive things about Finding Miranda here and were so negative about it in your comment on PF1. What changed?

I'm not sure he was the same guy because it's not exactly the same name... (caravagio/caravaggio)

I've read already some notes from this man in English or French and never seen so agressive words, from him at least...
