Regarding A Certain Poll...

For those of you who picked Sly to still fight Le Paradox, don't worry. I already have a solution. Sly still gets to participate.

Let's first set the stage for Episode 6. Penelope has been keeping her secret of betrayal all game. She also underwent a change of heart. At the end of last episode, Le Paradox outed her. This happened right when Sly, Bentley, and Murray's trust in her was at an all time high.

Thankfully, by the time this reveal happens, Penelope has already finished her march towards heroism and refuses the skunk's offer to rejoin him.

The boys are furious with Penelope. But she has a chance to redeem herself... if she behaves during the blimp raid. She doesn't think she'll be allowed to stay if she simply does as she's told, so she does them one better... and volunteers herself as mission leader.

Who better to lead our heroes to victory than the blimp's chief designer herself? It does take a bit of convincing, but Bentley, Murray, and Sly in that order do end up agreeing.

You all remember what else happened at the end of Episode 5: Carmelita's kidnapping.

Near the end of the rescue mission, Penelope feels a need to pursue the villain of this story. In her mind, she can definitely finish atoning for everything she did if she defeats him... all by herself. If she doesn't (or can't) do it alone, her attempt won't count. She gives chase. Bentley in particular tries to convince her not to, but his pleas fall on deaf ears. She gives him one last kiss before running off in tears.

Cue the final boss fight. Penelope vs. Le Paradox. Over the course of their duel, the skunk says a few things to make her lose her focus...

"Those friends of yours will never forgive you, even if you can take me down!"

"Why do you bother trying to redeem yourself? It's hopeless!"

"You'd be much better off if you rejoined me. Just in case your precious friends don't take you back. I'll be your friend."

Of course, our heroine tells him to stuff it. She'd rather die a hero than live long enough to betray her friends again.

And then... Penelope gets disarmed. Knocked down. The villain nearly gets his chance to finish her off... only for Sly Cooper to jump in and save her. Turns out he heard most of that conversation.

This wasn't what she wanted... Now her attempt won't count! But Sly says that's not how redemption works. She is allowed to ask for help.

Like the heroes they are, Sly and Penelope double team the villain, and are soon joined by Bentley, Murray, Carmelita, and the ancestors.

With her morale restored, Penelope takes it upon herself to finish the skunk off. Complete with a speech on what she learned about friendship.

The game ends with Sly not getting lost in time, and Penelope staying with her friends.

Only day you can rb this

my thoughts upon completing Flight of Fancy for the 2648134th time

1. Penelope (under the Black Baron disguise) serves as a pretty solid combat match for Sly. Bentley over binocucom claims the Black Baron has trained for 10 years as a boxer. Why is Penelope thus regarded as so useless out on the field by herself, and only used for her RC car, when she’s actually a decent fighter, especially when you count this was all made more difficult underneath a massive costume?

2. Penelope mentions in a cutscene that she used the Black Baron disguise because of strict age requirements. The age requirement would probably be either 18 or 21, considering the ruthless and unforgiving nature of dogfighting. Does this mean she’s still a minor when Bentley is dating her? (Or, has she been using the Black Baron as a persona for a few years now?). Still…..d r a m a . 

Bentley I thought you had more morals than this

Murray wasn’t kidding when he said you’ve got more devious over the years

some animals

Penelope Fan Service. Wink wink nudge. hehe

Platonic Relationship Meme: Murray and Penelope

I saw this “Platonic Relationship Meme“ on Tumblr. And I decided to try it with Murray and Penelope. I have plans to try this with other BFF pairs. So feel free to toss out suggestions (fyi, I only plan to tackle characters I’m already familiar with). Thanks to sonicsora  for the great idea!

Sly 3: the evolution of Penelope

Thieves In Time Redux Meme #3

Oblivious Guilt Slinging at its finest. With a massive splash of Becoming The Mask. And it keeps going until Le Paradox reveals her secret during All Rolled Up. In case you forgot, that's the tail end of Episode 5.
