Plot

Noelle, an introvert California fine arts graduate student, accepts an invitation to a party by a handsome classmate she has a crush on, only to be lured into his room where he rapes her. The following night Noelle confronts her rapist and in a moment of rage, accidentally kills him. But, much to her surprise, an unexpected surge of inspiration will gradually fuel both her stagnant artistic expression and her thirst for revenge on those who assaulted the lives of innocent women. Now, Noelle becomes a pitiless vigilante who uses her newly-found sex-appeal to serve her cause. When she attacks the man who many years before assaulted her friend Skye, she is found out by Skye and later the police. At the end, after the ceremony in which she receives her Master of Fine Arts degree and speaks as valedictorian, she is arrested.

gollark: If they say your board is pre-updated, get one, I guess, unless you need PCIe 4.0 (hint: probably not).
gollark: Which needs a CPU already.
gollark: Ah, but the issue is, your board may not *ship* with a BIOS update.
gollark: Buy some cheap DDR3 sticks, then save up and buy an R5 3600 (or equivalent), B450 (or B550, considering) board, and DDR4.
gollark: Hmm, that's quite good then.
