Time estimate: 3-5 Mins.
Prompt: Diana is giving a vlog during some indeterminate time (let's assume February). She can potentially say this is planned to be a private thing just for her to look back on, or she can try to do this publicly. Personally I don't care because it's something framed around the demo and things that are transferred to the final game have already been acknowledged to be potentially different for any reason.

Anyway, she begins with saying it's been 2-3 months since she'd really started putting herself out there. How it started at her friend's Halloween party (and how you can view the makeup tutorial for that night in the link to the description), and how she ended up making the acquaintance of a few people. Even if this video is meant to be private, she can maybe still keep her true thoughts internal - so instances like "I made new friends! Admittedly it wasn't through a typical way but... (Hitting a vampire with a door is a pretty interesting way, etc.) or "Yvonne's really cool (but I'm pretty sure she's older than Jesus), whatever.

Anyway, what's accomplished in this general demo is: Diana is in college, Diana is in February or so (it can be before or after route lock, depends on if you want her to be blushy and view her later commentary as a romance thing, none of the demos are inclined to be inherently romantic-locked), we get a very brief recap of what happened at Halloween with the vampire discovery, and how after a bunch of really weird yet mundane situations, they started to all grow slowly together (because what's a better bonding activity than being held hostage in a car?)

While Ev and Char technically aren't canonical to the main game, we can make some concessions for the sake of the demo being a demo, and assume they're canon. That is, Di met both at the Halloween party, with some scant changes. They don't necessarily need to be acknowledged in the first part of this prologue. Both parts do not have to be equal length.

This is basically the end of PART 1. She then goes on to explain that she is fond of them, and they've created a lot of memories or whatever. Lead into the menu would be something like "Anyway, who to dig into first..." and then the polaroids come up. Once a polaroid is selected and locked in, Diana transitions into PART 2, which is the variant text where she explores her feelings briefly on whatever character. Like Madison is a little rough around the edges but she likes the confidence, yadda yadda. Depending on the character, how she leads into "(Although) there was this one time..." and the demo scene starts.

OPTIONAL: For ev and char bc they're not explored during the PART 1 explanation, after the PART 2 lead in before scene transition to demo scene, option can pop up going like "Do I really want to explore/dwell/whtvr this right now? Y/N. if no-> "Nah, I should probably focus on someone else right now...")

Charlotte: Met at the party. "Things with Charlotte are... good (mildly concerned/squinting emoji here), I'm not really sure how to feel about her." Since the PAX demo scene is a Charlotteroute!Charlotte, Diana already knows the entire main game, although this really shouldn't be addressed AT ALL. Just that Charlotte may be intimidating, similar to Madi, but she's mature and she has strong beliefs, yadda. Surprising tender side. Mention the green thumb she has, and that can prompt the cue transition.

Ev: Met at the party, assume BAD demo ending canon for PAX demo. "We got along really well but I got cold feet. I was just really lucky that he ended up really digging Robin's coffee. He once really saved my ass blahblahablahb" basically bullshit this or placeholder it for now bc I don't know what's going in Ev's demo scene yet, I'm talking with dei either tonight or in a couple days.


Honestly this explanation doc is longer than a playthrough of the prologue has to be.
