Host Hijinks

**Host Hijinks** is an opportunity in House Party.

## Discovery

* (As Female) Complete Artsy Fartsy with the Struggle Bus Penguin to lose the art contest.
* After Derek wins, he will apologize for being so competitive with you.
* "Actually, I lost on purpose."
* Derek wonders why
* "I didn't want to play along with Madison's silly games anymore."
* Derek understands, and vents about Madison constantly playing head games.
* "I'm sensing some underlying issues here."
* Derek thanks you for helping him get some perspective.

Talk to Derek:

* "Madison really loves her mind games, huh? Has she messed with you a lot before?"
* Derek tries to explain Madison's whole deal
* "You'll have to give me some examples."
* Derek lists some of Madison's pranks on him.
* "It sounds like there's more where that came from."
* Derek talks about the time Madison made a dildo in the shape of Derek's junk.
* "...She did what?"
* Derek says she's faked pregnancy tests three times to see how he'll react.
* "That sounds awful."
* Derek wonders if his cat Purgalicious is missing because Madison is pulling another prank.
* "Missing cat...I might have to ask around about this."
* Derek wonders what he even sees in Madison, and starts thinking about retaliation.
* "..."
* Derek appreciates you letting him unload about Madison.
* "Of course. If I hear about anything else Madison has done, I'll let you know."

## Walkthrough

Talk to Frank:

* "Know anything about Derek missing a cat?"
* Frank says Derek was sobbing near the fireplace, and says Stephanie saw the whole thing.

Talk to Stephanie:

* "Steph, earlier tonight did Derek break down and talk to you about a cat or something?"
* Stephanie tells you about Derek crying over the Cat Picture in the Living Room.
* She adds that Ashley saw this and ran outside to the Hot Tub.

Inspect the Mound of Dirt behind the Hot Tub
Select "Search" in the Mound of Dirt radial
Take the Collar.

Give the Collar to Derek. You and Derek will both assume Madison had something to do with the cat's disappearance. Derek decides the two of you should give her a taste of her own medicine. Derek tells you to find the key to the Master Bedroom.

The Mysterious Key will be on the green folder on the Kitchen countertop. Take it and give it to Derek.

Derek's plan is to ask Madison to wait for him in the bedroom, naked and blindfolded. Then you and he will arrange for someone to walk in on her.

You can choose one of three responses:

* "That might be a bit much. You shouldn't do this Derek."
* "If you're going to do this, you need to send the perfect person to barge in on her."
* "Why just one person? Send the whole damn party up there!"

If you talk Derek out of doing the prank, you'll fail this opportunity. However, you'll have the chance to romance Derek, leading to a repeatable cutscene in the Master Bedroom. You will earn the Hijinks Averted achievement.

If you tell Derek to pick the perfect person, he'll ask who you would choose. You can pick anyone you've talked to so far.

Derek realizes he forgot to get a blindfold. He asks you to look for Madison's Sleeping Mask. Get it from the Master Bedroom and give it to Derek. Derek will give you another chance to talk him out of it. If you encourage him, he'll approach Madison and suggests doing their blindfold sex game. Go to the person you suggested and ask them to come upstairs to the bedroom.

Talk to Derek:

* "We are a go for Operation: Madison Is About To Be Caught Tits out At Her Own Party."
* Derek will unlock the door. He says to go walk very slowly and hide in the Master Bedroom Closet to wait for the "surprise guest" to walk in.

Go to the Master Bedroom door and select "open slowly" in the radial.
Walk slowly (don't run) to the closet. Wait for Derek to follow you and talk to you.

Madison will catch you and Derek leaving. Derek tells Madison off.

## Completed

The opportunity is complete after Derek celebrates pranking Madison. You will earn the Host Hijinks achievement However, Derek will quickly realize he feels terrible about what he's done, and your relationship with both Derek and Madison will be damaged.
