Pic 82: Starry Night

September is going fast and I am working on the next update of Something's In The Air Redux which will be released next week. I'm working on finishing remaking all the Ariane pics, which I should be able to do except the "House Party" path that requires some set redesign.
The above picture comes from the date formerly known as "Safety Pullout" where you drive to the scenic vista and have sex in public. But this ran into problems plot wise. I need to set it in Ariane's SUV, but the rewrite has you picking up Ariane from her home and driving downtown, leaving the SUV at Ariane's house.
I fix this by Ariane suggesting driving her home and switching to the SUV and driving to the scenic vista in that. The problem is that the scenic vista is on a paved road reachable from downtown, so it doesn't make sense to switch cars.
So I change the venue to the nude beach reachable on an unlit and unpaved dirt road where the SUV having multiple flood lights and 4 wheel drive would be the better option. The beach is empty at night, and the moonless night brings out all the stars. Since the path title "Safety Pullout" referred to the scenic vista sign, I changed the name to "Starry Night"
Another path I updated is the "Action Girl" path where you climb to the top of the parking garage during the blackout and look out at the darkened city below. The old garage roof pics in this section needed to be completely redone, partly because the ones in the old game were lame, and partly because of the redesign of downtown done in DAR.
The above picture is part of that scene, but I won't be using this version in the game. Ariane talks to you about what is going on below, but without the security lighting from the now missing art museum, she is only visible by cell phone flashlight. This image is way too bright for that narrative, but it makes for a good still picture worth sharing.
