💅 ALEXIA'S CUT v1.1 1.1

💅 ALEXIA'S CUT v1.1 — a Backpage extortion storyline

Your stepsister found your Backpage profile. It goes about as well as you'd expect.

Built on top of Backpage by Athena (requires v3.0+). Domestic Affairs is optional and adds extra flavor. Drop it in the mod loader and go — works on existing saves, no new game needed.

🔍 Discovery
Once you're taking Backpage gigs, Alexia finds out — by gossip (scales with your Exposure) or by snooping your unlocked computer if her dominance over you is high enough. Full confrontation scene; resist and she'll cheerfully start yelling for Dad down the hall.

💸 The arrangement

• Weekly quota (default $250, configurable $100–$1000), tied into the base allowance ledger.
• A skim of every Backpage payout (default 30%, configurable), with a smug text each time.
• Miss a payment → quota doubles (cap $4,000), sooner. She learned compound interest from Dad. She thinks that's hilarious.

🕴️ Her "friends"
Every few days she books you a date with a friend — mostly GFE, occasionally quicker. They already paid... her.

💊 Male on a client night
Two pills: dealer's choice (random, +50% quota) or "Dreddy's special" — NanoBind™: free, permanent, ships blank, and laced with programmable nanobots. Guess who has the app.

🤖 Nanobound
Random mornings Alexia pushes an "update" — a side effect of her choosing. Some are trials that swap out; some are permanent installs (no uninstaller — she checked, twice). Hover the 💅 icon for today's setting and installed firmware.

🍺 Sold to Bruce
Max the quota and can't pay? She sells you: Bruce pays her $4,000/week for exclusive access. Escape by buyout ($10,000), or let it become real — the girlfriend ending.

💗 NEW — The Mercy Path
If Alexia's friendship toward you (the "feels closer to you" stat — not dominance) is high enough, you can plead for clemency. Each plea is a dice roll (chance scales with how much she likes you; fail and she mocks you + a cooldown). Success climbs a ladder:
▸ Lv1 — drops the skim & halves the quota
▸ Lv2 — stops the friend dates
▸ Lv3 — she frees you... with a warning: go back to escorting and it's worse (harsher re-discovery, quota ×4, clemency gets harder).
You can even plead during the Bruce arc — with enough friendship she buys you back. Plead from the quota scene, a Bruce date, or an occasional soft morning visit.

⚙️ Options
Snoop dominance gate • weekly quota • skim rate • pacing (Normal / Instant testing) • Mercy difficulty (Easy / Standard / Hard — edits how much she has to like you before clemency unlocks).

📥 Installation
Needs the XCL Mod Loader and Backpage v3.0+ installed first.

1. Download AlexiasCut.xcl below.
2. Open the Mod Loader, point it at your X-Change Life.html (keep the game out of Program Files, on an NTFS drive).
3. Add mods → select AlexiasCut.xcl (+ Backpage, + Domestic Affairs if you want the extras).
4. Make sure they're Enabled, then Load mods → wait for "All done!".
5. Run the game from the new modded folder (open the X-Change Life.html inside it).
   ⚠️ Both steps required: Add mods just prepares, Load mods installs. Broken images = you're not running from modded. If a setting looks stale, hit rebuild in the loader.

🙏 Feedback welcome — bugs, quota/pacing balance, mercy thresholds, writing, Alexia's voice. Scene and ending ideas too. 👀

Huge thanks to Athena for Backpage (the whole thing stands on it), and to the Domestic Affairs & BarWhore authors for the systems and lore this borrows with love.
