JESSIE: "So, Trevy-baby...which one are you gonna choose...?"

GESSIE: "Yeah. Which one of us are you going to pick, Trevor-honey?"

TREVOR: "Uuuuhhh...I...can't...decide..." ("Wow. Even I think two of you is too much.")

This is the first of a two parter drawn up by featuring two, count'em TWO Jessies dressed up as the love interests from the puzzle/visual novel game Catherine with Jessie's fiance Trevor as the game's protagonist Vincent.

We have "Good" Jessie (or Gessie in this case) as Katherine McBride, Vincent's girlfriend. Then we have "Naughty" or "Bad" Jessie (still Jessie) as Catherine, a girl Vincent meets at a bar and has an affair with.

In the game, Vincent is torn between these two ladies who are meant to represent the different desires of a man in the love of his life. One who is practical, classy, and strict representing the desire to settle down and commit and start a family in the form Katherine. The other who is wild, playful, and a bit trampy representing the desire to be youthful and not hard commiting to a relationship and still exploring one's sexuality and living free of responsibility in the form of Catherine. Just by looking at their attire and hairstyles obviously suggests who is who. The colors are interestingly not as reflective as I think white in this context as far as sex is concerned is usually the more pure color with black being darker. In this case I think the white reflects unexplored and bright and vibrant while black reflects mundane, simple, and safe. Granted I'm not an expert of anything on this subject, so it's just a theory on my part.

Ultimately, choosing Katherine means choosing a responsible, predictable, and conformed (not in a negative way) life and choosing Catherine means choosing a more chaotic, free-flowing, and raw (as in sexual) life. Settling down and raising a family with a normal 9-5 with a conservative mate or living a care-free life with no goals or rules with a wild and unpredictable lover. Makes for an interesting decision doesn't it. How you get there is fun in of it's own as decisions you make towards either woman reflects how you think of each of them and what you, as Vincent, want for your life. There's lots of little twists and turns and a whole murder mystery involving some supernatural element where men are dying in their sleep and Vincent has bad dreams of climbing towers, running into sentient sheep, and avoiding representations of his current fears that are trying to kill him. It wouldn't be an Atlus game otherwise, right?

The dream section is where the puzzle gameplay comes in is quite challenging. Overall, it's a pretty good game, with some controversy, but worth checking out if you like a good love triangle plot with some supernatural elements thrown in and puzzle gameplay. It's definitely a unique game.

But what of our heroes in this story? How and why are there two Jessie's? Well leave it to the super science of Jessie's mutual friend Lana (who is a long time friend of Jenet's and current girlfriend of Tasha, both of whom are good friends with the foxy femboy). Lana often likes to use her friends and loved ones as test subjects in her experiments. How she still has friends and loved ones is anyone's guess (possibly fear), but Jessie is particularly one of Lana's favorite subjects. When she has a specific experiment in mind she wants Jessie's to participate in she pulls no punches in trying to get him to go along with her. Often kidnapping him and keeping him tied up and captive. In this case however, she was able to coax him into testing out her invention that put subjects into videogames as the characters in the game. Last time that happened, Jessie found himself a distressed princess held captive by a tyrannical turtle and waiting to be rescued by his friends who were cast as super plumbers and a sentient fungus. Fortunately no one got hurt, but it made Jessie a little skeptical about letting Lana insert him into a game. This time she wanted to test him in a puzzle game. However, it wasn't until both he and his fiance, Trevor were inserted into the game that they found out it was a personal favorite, yet potentially highly dangerous "Caitlyn", a puzzle game about a dream where if the player dies in their dream they die for real. Fortunately, the pair got through the game in tact, however this was in part because Jessie had been split into two characters, Kaitlyn and Caitlyn, the game's two love interests for the protagonist whom Trevor was cast as. This not only split Jessie into two people, but into two separate people with differing behaviors and personalities. Caitlyn Jessie getting all of Jessie's more sexual and rambunctious traits and Kaitlyn Jessie getting more of Jessie's caring and relaxed traits. Basically taking qualties of Jessie Trevor loved and splitting them into two people. Poor Trevor was stuck along with his love in the game until he chose which one he wanted to be with. Only problem was, aside from having a hard time deciding which side he wanted more, choosing one meant the Jessie he chose would be the one to go back with him with all those specific traits and the other Jessie with his other traits would be stuck in the simulation or simply disappear and no longer exist. Even if Trevor had no choice but to pick one and leave the other behind and the choice of the more practical Jessie being the more logical one, Trevor didn't want to leave the more sexy and playful Jessie behind as that Jessie was also the more emotional and instinctual one. Neither one was specifically bad nor good. They both had qualities that were likable and good as well as a bit too much of one thing or the other, play and work. It didn't help Trevor either that both Jessie's considered themselves the true/real Jessie based on a bug in the simulation that brainwashed both Jessie's into believing they were the original and the other is a polar opposite copy or their id. So both of them have their lover in a tug of war and it's starting to get on his nerves. What will Trevor do? Will he give in and choose one of the two Jessie's or will he figure out a way to get both of them back together as the one true Jessie he knows and loves. Stay tuned to find out! ;D

As for Lana, she's slightly concerned about losing a part of Jessie, but currently more interested in the data she's getting from the personality split. Because, SCIENCE!

Thanks so much Scarlett for this piece! I asked them to change up Gessie's (Katherine Jessie) pose after a first draft and they were quick to accommodate. The original had Gessie sitting back into the couch more and I thought having him sit forward and leaning more towards Trevor would show more engagement and interaction as, afterall, he's as much wanting to be chosen by the Piebald Shepard as Jessie is. Also LOVE Jessie's (Catherine Jessie) pose for this. I really wanted something playful and seductive and a few poses I saw of models like this caught my attention and I figured putting a naughty thinking and come hither expression on that pose would really make that Jessie's personality pop. And Scarlett really nailed it on the first try.
