Gregory at the Bus Stop in the "Once Upon A Time" Chapter of Rule of Rose

[RedJacketCapcomKid]

I`m so confused I thought Jennifer was 19 and does her memories take place in 1930 or earlier?

@RedJacketCapcomKid

Jennifer lived in the orphanage during 1930 (from March into December). She lived in Gregory's house during part of 1929 and January of 1930. The young girl of this video is the Jennifer of those times.

I've posted two document-based time-lines (one before she arrived at the orphanage, and one after she arrived at the orphanage) at my blog.

This entire game is tragic, yet so beautiful. It's a beautiful story in it's sadness. The good ending makes me sob.

When you voiced the monologue, I realised... You sound a lot like Dr House.

[WhiteChocolateGood]

Jennifer : There is the guy who locked me on his Basement for a long time... I think I'll say hello to him.

@WhiteChocolateGood Repeatedly... for five minutes.

[WhiteChocolateGood]

The Storybook he is holding when you first speak to him remembered me of the Mermaid Princess (when the fishes are "eating" the Mermaid's flesh). But that's impossible, there's no way Gregory met Clara.

Atlus really wanna test the player patience XD

[darknessandoflight]

i think the monologue had something to do with jennifer and wendy's story. look: "the girl and her friend lived happily together and forever after" this could possibly explain wendy's outlook of her and jennifer's relationship before brown . Then "People will always lie, betray each other and forget about the past" again can be another outlook for wendy when jennifer found brown, "they only really want to get others to do as they wish" which explains wendy's possessiveness to jennifer.

tnx for uploading this!

[secondhandsamson124]

nice sentence error at 5:50, I remembered that when I played it hahah

[Aquamaryann]

hmm your voice acting isn't very good ^^; you could have put more emotion in it... but oh well... that's not what you made the video for anyway i guess ^^

when i was playing that scene, i immidiatley was wondering: is there a 3rd ending possible? is it a hint that says "there is still a good ending to get." ?

i mean, i don't think this monologue between those two actually took place. it just doesn't fit in anywhere / in any timeframe.

[likeastarbaby]

i keep forgetting that thats not gregory talking...you have such an amazing voice! you should do audio books/voice acting :|

[jarrahpridham1]

maby she tryed to run away once and just ended up back at the orphange

[jarrahpridham1]

the backround changes seasons

I got this monologue out of him as well but never thought very much about it other than "Gregory was a really nice guy, what happened?"

The opening story bothers me though. The construction of it really. They initially say there was once a precious little girl and the princess of the red rose was always at her side. THEN her mummy and daddy died suddenly. That "then" bothers me. Did Wendy and Jennifer know each other before living at the orphanage?

[RuleOfRoseMysteries]

I've always favored the idea that the princess that was always at the precious little girl's (Jennifer's) side, before her parents died, must be the doll. I don't see how it could be Wendy, as Wendy and Jennifer seem to be introducing themselves to each other for the first time during the scene we see at Gregory's house (which is certainly after the airship crash and the death of Jennifer's parents).

[RuleOfRoseMysteries]

But this raises the problem of how the doll got to the orphanage, and how it came to be used as it was by the Red Crayon Aristocrats.

[RuleOfRoseMysteries]

I made an error above, I should have said: introducing themselves in their letters exchanged at Gregory's house, rather than introducing themselves during the scene that we see at Gregory's house..

[DJTeddy]

I initially made 2 posts stating a discrepancy with some dates but then I went ahead a looked a real calender to make certain of something and realized my error. Though, now I'm really confused. Wendy indeed met Jennifer at the window, but how long was Jennifer there? the airship went missing June 23rd 1929. Gregory's journal aligns with the 1930 calender though of that year. Perhaps an innocent mistake by the developers? If it were 1929, then the pea theories and such makes sense.

[RuleOfRoseMysteries]

Gregory's calendar is a June 1929 calendar, not a 1930 calendar.

[MutantWren]

That made my heart ache. Literally, there's this vague ache to one side of my chest. This game really is beautiful.

[RaguraX]

Omg >_> I remember talking to him a few times and even wondering if there would be more, but I was too impatient and had spent a lot of time already going around the house, I just wanted to finish the game at that point.

Thanks a million for showing it to everyone, even if it wasn't your original discovery^^

[Dr34am3r]

Nice videos~ I really enjoyed this!

[RuleOfRoseMysteries]

Thankyou!

[42Unknowns]

i need to replay this game....

[chelsiemalfoy]

oh wow, i've missed lots of stuff staying inside the house on the last chapter.

thanks again.

[TurboBabyPuncher]

Bringing Rule of Rose Mysteries to YouTube could be the most brilliant idea ever.

[fireflyslocket]

I liked your bit of voice acting, PN. ^_^ Seems like you attempted to put some emotion behind the lines, though after having to say "...it's no good." over and over, you might have just been feeling a genuine bit of frustration that could easily match a writer with writer's block, hm?

[MangaEngel]

Wow, that is really interesting, thinking that Gregory was writing the story of the unlucky girl under such almost peacefull circumstances while it makes such a creepy feeling in the game beginning.

And it is really almost unfair, just very few people would talk to him THAT much, so most people, even if they find Gregory, will never know this o.o

[Squishy876]

Whoever wrote the end just wants to make you annoyed, but the part at the bus stop is so sad.

[SteelUnseelie]

You have the patience of something far above a saint not only to have made this video with the full dialogue, but to have found it all in the first place!

[RuleOfRoseMysteries]

Gregory's extended monologue was first written about by someone else. I don't remember who should get the credit however, as that forum post disappeared years ago.

I don't think that the existence of the extended monologue is very widely known (outside of those who have read about it on my blog) and I don't think it has been shown on YouTube previously.
