Dylan, what to do with him in the future?
Added 2021-09-14 11:24:15 +0000 UTC
So, I've got the impression that some readers have diverse expectations of how Dylan's personality will develop in the future chapters of Office Party. Personally, I can see this go in various directions and I have not decided on one yet. So this is the perfect opportunity to ask you guys: How should Dylan's personality develop in the future?
Please note that this is not a vote on whether Dylan and Nicole should stay together. All but the first option will lead Dylan to try continuing his relationship with Nicole on a basis of love, but it might be a bit harder to maintain with option 4 or a lot harder with option 3.

Well, there certainly need to be some changes to Nicole's life if they are supposed to stay together. Cause Nicole is not the girl that appriciates having a man who's whoring around. (At least of her own free will). There will be a deciding moment in their relationship and I think I will do another poll when we get there, cause if I strictly follow option 1 then, this will lock out some possible endings some of you might find interesting.

2021-09-15 17:56:32 +0000 UTCFor those of you who have not yet voted, what will the result of this vote entail? I have several events planned out for Dylan in the future chapters of "Office Party" and I'll try him to act according to the result of this vote. I don't want to spoiler too much but here is a rough outline: 1.) His affair with Isabel. 2.) His relationship with Nicole, and how they will work together in the future (or not). 3.) Finding a helpless Lucine and writing on her. 4.) How he reacts to the general situation of Charlotte (and maybe somebody else) trying to take control of the office.

2021-09-15 05:48:35 +0000 UTCWow! I have to say I'm rather surprised by the current intermediate result of the vote. Option one is the most extreme one, turning Dylan on a path where control, and taking what he wants, is more important to him than his original principles (like the love he currently feels for Nicole, or movie nights!). So I guess I've been taking the story in a bit of the wrong direction with the romantic part of Scene 06A... But that's fine (for me). Though to sell such a dramatic change in Dylans personality will take a bit of time --> So I can't just turn him into that asshole over night (well duh I could with a suggestion, but I don't won't to add another one ^^), and he'll probably go from option 3 to Option 1 over time (If option 1 really wins in the end). Note that I can't just go with option 1 if it wins by a slight margin in percentage, but if Option 1 has over 50%, as it has right now, I'll consider that the decision of the majority.

If the spell ever gets broken for whatever reason, who would he rather see get burned as a result? I got a feeling Stacy is no fool, she might of fallen for one of the triggers from the night, she likely hired this hypnotist for a reason (for being an idiot) and left some triggers or instructions onto her staff so she wouldn't be questioned nor controlled(she hopes). So the only problem I see is the outside world taking notice and breaking the hypnotism somehow, as such coming out on top is the person that deals the least damage but has the most to win from doing so. Side note: I am enjoying questioning the possibilities, keep up the writing :)
