Ryan, texting: Alex?

Ryan: Where are you?

Ryan: I'm at the Black Lantern for our hike but Dad says you aren't here?

Ryan: Would you like to go another time?

Ryan: Alex?

Ryan: Okay. I'll just head home. See you next week!

Alex: oh my god Ryan I'm so sorry

Ryan: It's fine, Alex!

Ryan: But if I'm allowed to ask... where were you?

Alex: I was on a date with my girlfriend. I swear I tried to get back on time but I fell off the bridge

Ryan: You... fell... off... a... bridge.

Alex: yes

Ryan: Alex if you really didn't want to come, you don't have to make excuses. I understand

Alex: I swear it's not an excuse!

Alex: okay okay okay

Alex: Charlotte was there with Ethan

Alex: and he tried to hug me because I saved him that one time at the mines

Alex: and I was Not Prepared for this

Alex: and I got Emotional

Alex: and I backed up very quickly to get away from the grateful little urchin

Alex: and I fell off the bridge

Alex: and the only reason it took so long to get out was because Steph was too busy laughing at me to actually give me any adequate help

Ryan: You fell off a bridge because you couldn't handle a little boy hugging you?

Ryan: You? Alex Chen? Genius, talented, musically gifted superhero?

Alex: basically

Ryan: I'm screenshotting this and posting it on MyBlock.

Alex: yeah I figured you would

True Colors: Kids and their Secrets

It’s been a while since I’ve done one of these, not since 2018 to be exact. For the first two Life is Strange games, I took the biggest choices and I’d talk about what I chose and my rationale behind it, and a few other things when they were relevant. Honestly, I could have made even longer posts about the final choice in the original game but chose to exercise a little restraint. I didn’t do it for Life is Strange 2 because I could never fully get into the game and only played part of it, and my reasons why are a whole other conversation. I intended to do it for True Colors but never got around to it. With the Double Exposure reveal, I’m in a Life is Strange mood so I want to get back into doing these. At the time of this writing, I’ve already finished the first chapter, Side A, and the tears have started flowing already.

Let’s begin then. Alex has arrived at Haven Springs, had an awkward reunion with her brother she hasn’t seen in years, and they start making their way down the main street on a brief tour/meet and greet with the locals. As Gabe steps away for a bit to grovel to his girlfriend for forgiveness for who knows what, Alex meets the kid of said girlfriend, Ethan. The two hit it off almost immediately, bonding over their love of comics, and then Ethan reveals he’s been secretly exploring the old mines in the mountain. That’s a red flag if I’ve ever seen one. Doesn’t take a genius to know that old, abandoned mines are extremely dangerous and no child should be anywhere near them, supervised or not. And if that weren’t bad enough, if you’ve been paying the slightest bit of attention, you’ll see around town and on the MyBlock app warnings of a blast going off that very night. So perhaps it’s not surprising that your first choice is whether to reveal Ethan’s plans to Gabe.

If in the likely event you’re not going into this game completely blind as to what this story is about, you’ve likely already connected the dots. No matter what you do, Ethan’s going up to those mines anyway and that will set off a sequence of events leading to Gabe’s inevitable death. Maybe that makes some people feel like this choice doesn’t really matter, but even for choices like this I think what you choose and why says a lot about you or at least, the kind of person you’re roleplaying as. I am surprised though, the stats for this choice are 50/50 and I can’t really explain why. I had considered that telling on Ethan might cause him not to be so forthcoming with Alex in the future, but given the literal warning signs I was seeing all around, the responsible adult in me couldn’t not say anything. Plus Gabe’s a sweet guy, why would you keep this from him, you monsters?

By the way, feel free to comment your thoughts on this or any of the other choices I cover. That includes the ones I’ve done in the past, I won’t mind.

'𝙤𝙪𝙩 𝙤𝙛 𝙨𝙩𝙖𝙩𝙚' 𝙧𝙮𝙖𝙣 𝙡𝙪𝙘𝙖𝙣 𝙭 𝙢𝙖𝙡𝙚 𝙊𝘾 | chapter ii

𝙨𝙪𝙢𝙢𝙖𝙧𝙮: ronan meets ryan and is late to his own welcome party 𝙬𝙤𝙧𝙙𝙨: 1.7k

he yawned, almost falling asleep in the comfort of his new bed. it felt like heaven, finally being able to relax and stretch out. his back ached like never before, and he didn’t want to get up. 

sighing, he pulled out his phone at the beep of a notification. he saw himself added to an app called myblock. he heard eleanor mention it earlier so he went on it and checked the newsfeed. he scrolled through the different messages left by townspeople. 

lethe flowers: calling volunteers to help with this year’s spring festival! the sign up sheet is on the east side of lethe flowers. march 25th, save the date!

eleanor lethe: my nephew is moving to haven springs! he’ll arrive march 7th, and come on down to the black lantern to celebrate his welcome!

steph gingrich: just met ronan lethe, can confirm he’s a cool dude, can’t wait to get to know him better at the party! | alex chen: agreed

he was kind of shocked, he’s never lived in a small town and it’s a weird feeling to him. myblock was a cool but foreign concept to him, the whole town on one app where they can communicate, post news and updates, so odd but surprisingly comforting.  he smiled before replying to stephs message. 

steph gingrich: just met ronan lethe, can confirm he’s a cool dude, can’t wait to get to know him better at the party! | ronan lethe: thanks, looking forward to seeing you two

turning off his phone, ronan got up and yawned again. he thought about what his aunt said a few hours ago, to explore and meet people in haven. him being an anxious person makes socializing hard but he felt cooped up once more and needed to stretch his legs.

last time he was here, 17 years ago, it looked much different. knowing he’s going to be here for awhile, he might as well go look around, and get used to his surroundings.

he grabbed a sweater and picked his glasses off of the bedside table. taking a glance in the mirror he saw his headphones sitting on one of his suitcases and a little light bulb lighted up in his head. ‘can’t forget those’

he looked into the office next door and saw eleanor talking to someone on the phone about a flower order, she turned and gave him an encouraging smile, he returned it before leaving the shop. 

it was a few hours from sunset, and the sky was beautiful, a light pale blue with fluffy clouds. he took a look around, taking in the sight of a few people on the streets, walking around and laughing. ‘everyone’s so happy here’ he thought to himself.

he walked down mainstreet, and the first thing that caught his eyes was the silver dragon, and rocky mountain record traders. weed and music, his two favorite things. 

making his way to the record store, ronan saw steph outside, watering the plants below the window sill. “hey steph.” he called out to her. 

“hey lethe, watcha up to?” she asked. “coming to see our selection of music?”

“oh hell yeah! do you own the record shop?”

“yeah i’m the manager plus dj, i run the radio station, krct 104.3.”

“holy crap that’s actually awesome. i wish i could do something like that.” he comments.

“so you’re pretty into music, i take it.” steph says curiously. 

“yeah.. i was in a alternative rock band, stuff went down and now i’m here.” ronan admits, rubbing the back of his neck, chuckling slightly.

“no way! me too! we have so much in common, we both came from seattle and were in bands.” steph is in shock, grinning widely. “would i have heard of you guys before?”

“maybe! we were called bathtub thrashers, odd name but people liked it and we played tons of venues, one time we opened for this larger band and got like 10,000 more listeners on spotify. it was sick!”

“holy shit yeah i recognize the name, i remember hearing a cover of blister in the sun from you guys.” 

“yeahh our covers were the most popular unfortunately but our loyal fans absolutely loved our originals.” ronan smiled, happy he could actually relate to someone here. when he first arrived he was nervous he wouldn’t actually create bonds with anyone. “so, are you hiring here? i could use something to keep me busy.” he gives a smug face, almost to persuade her.

“hmm, i like running it myself but it does get pretty overwhelming. have you been a cashier before?” steph asks, considering it.

“who hasn’t.” he laughs. “of course. i could always send you my resume if you wanted it.”

“no no, that’s not necessary, you’re practically family now, everyone here is.” steph thinks for a moment. “if you’re down to start working in a few days, that’s cool with me.”

“holy, thank you so much.” the excitement in his voice was blatantly obvious, almost to an embarrassing extent. 

“no problem, anyways, the store is closed right now but i’ll let you take a look.” “oh and there’s a hold list, see something you like, write it down.” she encourages. 

“alright awesome, thanks!” he said, feeling almost giddy, shocked that he’s made a real friend already. he pushed open the door and was in awe. it was such a beautiful store. he would of never expected a small town like this to have a large record store like this.

his hands traced the edge of the desk as he walked in. this was heaven. it smelled like a library, like old books almost. it was comforting.

he glanced towards the bulletin board and read a few flyers and updates about the record store. walking down one of the aisles, he read a few of the bands they had cds and vinyls for. 

ronan picked up a few vinyls, writing their names down so he could later add them to the hold list. he was finding some really good shit. as he walked to the back he noticed the radio station room. ‘looks sick’

in the middle of his staring out of fasination, something brushed up against his leg. “ah fuck!” he shouted out of fear. ronan jumped back, only to see a small black cat at his feet. “jesus. you’re a sneaky one aren’t you.” he chuckles, giving the cat chin scratches.

“i’ll be seeing you a lot more soon, better get used to this.” he giggled, as valkyrie enjoyed the attention. she’s a very sweet and loving cat when she’s not trying to sleep. she begins to pur so ronan decides to sit down, inviting her into his lap.

he continued to admire the place from his seat on the ground, still in awe that he gets to work here. so into his thoughts, ronan didn’t hear the bell of the door.

“woah, stores closed buddy!” a masculine voice calls out. ronan stiffened, trying to turn slightly without angering the beast trying to sleep.

he heard footsteps get closer and gave up on turning. “hello?” a blonde man in a flannel pauses, looking at ronan.

he took this chance to apologize. “sorry, steph said i could check out the place.” his voice quiet caused from the intimidation.

“oh.” the other guy begins to stare. “do i know you? i feel like i haven’t seen you around.”

“are you ryan?” ronan asks, recognizing his dorky face. “im uh ronan, eleanors-“

“ohh oh my god, i’m sorry i didnt recognize you..” he trails off. “you look so.. different.” ryan said, taking in his face.

“yeah well that was the goal.” ronan shrugs, laughing it off.

“right, sorry.” he looks towards the cat. “im surprised she’s letting you touch her. she doesn’t like anyone that much.”

“guess i’m just special.” ronan comments, right as valkyrie leaps out of his lap. “awh man.”

“here.” ryan holds out his hand, extending it. ronan smiles and takes it.

“thanks.” he dusts himself off. they stand there in silence, ryan leaning back and forth on his feet, trying to think of a conversation starter. he watched the other, attempting to see what he was thinking.

ryans cheeks started to have a pink tint to them, and ronan couldn’t decipher whether or not it was from awkwardness or something else.

“so do you uh like birds?” he blurts awkwardly, his palms moist.

“uhm yeah birds are cool. what’s it like being a park ranger? i’m assuming you speak to animals and save people from bears or something.” ronan jokes. 

“well you’re not exactly wrong.” he chuckles. “but they’re aren’t many people in this area so my days are pretty boring and it gives me a lot of free time. i’m usually just patrolling trails, investigate poaching and illegal hunting, and sometimes i have to take a shift in a watchtower.”

“is that what you’ve always wanted to do? be a ranger?” he inquired.

“to be honest i never knew what i wanted to do, until i was walking a trail and met a ranger, i watched him help a bear cub after it’s mom left it behind.” he exhales. “something about it made me want to become one too, help animals and help the forest.”

ronan giggles. “how noble of you, you’re like a hero!”

“i’ve never thought about it like that.” he smiled, rubbing the back of his neck. “so what do you do?”

“well i was apart of a band back in seattle but, something happened and now i’m here. i’m actually going to be working here soon.”

“oh cool, i’d love to hear your music sometime.”

“well i’d love to show you.” ronan smiled. they sat in silence once more but this time it was pleasant. he pushed his glasses back up and checked the time. “what time is the welcome party starting?” he asked.

“around 8 i think, what time is it?”

“8:03.” ronan laughed. “i’m missing my own welcome party!”

I think Jed makes such a fucking fantastic antagonist because he genuinely cares about the people in town. It'd be very easy to write another Jefferson-type, an unlikeable creep who's barely persuasive enough to manipulate adults (which is one of the reasons Jefferson preyed on children)

But Jed's interactions with the rest of the town aren't fake, he's not the kind of barely-concealed disingenuous that Jefferson is. It makes him a very realistic antagonist and it lends a narrative hand to why the rest of the council has such a hard time believing that he could've murdered those people. It also creates a fantastic amount of suspense for the player, since most players don't even find him suspicious until the climax of the story. And when you find out he did it, the plot twist hurts, because this is the same man who was supportive and kind towards Alex, and he IS a hero to the rest of the town in various ways, like giving Gabe a job and a home. (Even though that was done out of guilt, nobody else knew it.)

The twist doesn't even come out of left field. There's a lot of hints leading up to the climax, and that moment where everything clicks into place? Fantastic storytelling. On par with finding Rachel's body for the very first time, IMO.

I think a lot of people rush through this game, they don't explore or read the MyBlock posts or the journals, and then they're upset when the story that they actively refused to engage in wasn't fulfilling to them. But if you chill out, take your time and read everything, explore everything the town has to offer, then True Colors really is a very well written, emotionally impactful game.
