They Are Friends

Thieves In Time Redux Meme #7

During Something's Fishy (Episode 1), instead of a hacking segment, we get a "protect Bentley" segment...

What Bentley thinks happened: Murray took out most of the guards. He's sure Penelope got at least a few of the smaller ones.

What actually happened: Murray and Penelope each took out half of the guards. Murray swears she took out a little more than half.

Is Murray trying to make his little sister look good? Maybe. But both of them did pull their weight. Too bad Bentley didn't see any of it...

Moral of the story: Don't underestimate this mouse girl. Sadly, that's a lesson Bentley won't fully learn until Episode 2's Jail Break...

Lost Sly 3 scene: Aftermath of the LeFwee battle

===

Here’s yet another “Behind the Scenes” comic.

Bentley and Penelope both come across as MAJORLY socially awkward dorks who don’t have much experience in the romance department. So I can imagine them going a wee bit overboard in the honeymoon phase just after they officially become an item (and annoying the hell out of their team mates in the process).

FUN FACT: My main reason for doing this comic was the desire to put Dimitri’s final line into a story (that part was the first thing I wrote; the rest of the comic was tailored around it). XD

Even more so if you want to talk about it.

Here's a link to it in case you somehow missed it.

Thieves In Time Redux Van

Remember the view of the van's sun visor? Those three photos it had? Instead of the Bentley/Penelope photo, we get this...

And at the end of Episode 4, it's replaced with a new photo starring these four as they are now, with Murray picking his brothers and sister up from behind. Cuuuuute!

I'd love to see someone draw that. Have Penelope sandwiched between Sly and Bentley. She is the main protagonist of my fanfiction, after all...

I'm assuming Carmelita takes the picture for them...

I'd draw it myself, but I'm no good at drawing art. Again, I'm just a writer with big ideas.

The other two photos can stay the same.

sometimes you need dialogue tags and don't want to use the same four

I haven’t used pencil crayons in so long. Drew Penelope, just cuz her redesign was really cute, even with all the shit that happened.

Thieves In Time Rewrites...

A lot of rewrites will do one of two things with Penelope.

One route has her following canon and being straight up evil.

Another route has her being kidnapped and either blackmailed or brainwashed.

Thieves In Time Redux not only marries both routes (in that Penelope is responsible for the game's events, and escapes from a kidnapping situation), but also takes a third option. It has her dragged into the adventure so she can learn a lesson or two about friendship.

I already stated earlier that it would make more narrative sense to have Penelope (fully reformed) fight Le Paradox during the end of Thieves In Time Redux. But what do you think?

Drop a comment if you picked "secret third option".

Guess who made QR codes for Penelope’s suits? Me ^_^

Free to use, go nuts, be free my fellow New Leaf players. It took me a long time but I had a blast making them.
