February 1930 - "The Missing Chapter"

[Stray Dog]

What about February ?

We know that Wendy freed Jennifer on January 30 1930. But, we also know that the first letter in which Jennifer talks about the orphanage, telling Wendy that she was kind of afraid, has been sent on March 20. She also says 'I'm here now'.

What happened during the month of February ?

As for the answer, you should also remember what Hoffman says to one of the orphans (I don't remember who, where and when ^^'): "A new girl is coming".

Maybe that is a "deleted scene" in the game, anyway it's a good question. Jennifer could be in somewhere else before she come to the orphanage (police station? stranded outside? in the shed?)

[PrincessJennifer]

Truly a good question. Maybe she felt so guilty she wiped the whole month from her mind?

[Stray Dog]

I think she spent all the month somewhere - and somehow - outdoor, and maybe Wendy took her something to eat and found her somewhere to stay (the shed, maybe), while convincing Hoffman to take care of another girl.

[PrincessJennifer]

Yeah, but wouldn't she have done that during the months she was trying to convince Jennifer to leave or sometime after she got her to agree to but before she actually left?

I was thinking about it. It makes sense, but, she's a child, and like all the children they don't think too much to the future, or 'what will I do next ?'. They live for the day. They live in a never ending fairy tale (Expecially in Rule of Rose :°).

To help our discussion, we should make a list of all the chapters and dates they occur as given in the game.

I made something similiar, with all the dates of the game in a sort of list, but it's in my school diary. :°

[PrincessJennifer]

A list of the chapters would be a good start though.^^

I've written them in the order I played them. :°

[PrincessJennifer]

Well, maybe nothing really happened in her first real month there?

And when you think about it, June for 1930 is missing too.

[avidgamer77]

Could Jennifer be staying temporarily in the shed where she kept Brown later? That was a bucket knight in that room and other things that might suggest her accomodation.

[PrincessJennifer]

A Bucket Knight is a living accomadation?XD

I really think she went straight to the orphanage after leaving Gregory's. Otherwise, wouldn't we have been told something about it?

[avidgamer77]

Jennifer's letter to Wendy in 20 March stated "I'm here now, but I'm kind of afraid. Everything is new to me. I'm worried if
I'll get along with everyone." Could this mean she only arrive at the orphanage later than expected? In Amanda's diary, Hoffman told her in March 2nd that "a new girl is coming soon", so Hoffman has yet to accept her in?

[avidgamer77]

I'm still skeptical about the events that took place in May, i.e. the Sir Peter chapter, Wendy should have adopted the rabbit pet in July, the same month that Jennifer found Brown and announced to Wendy about it, causing her jealously.
