Or it *could* be the aged whisky he mentions at the Luau. Though that's a bit more farfetched considering he talks about it in public.
Could also just be a hidden stash of money that he's saving for a rainy day. He doesn't want Caroline to know about it or maybe she'll get into it and spend it. Some couples have been known to squirrel money away from each other.
This MIGHT make sense until you factor in the fact that Pierre is a total loser who wouldn't have the foresight to save money.
Also a good point. And Pierre might be the sort of person who doesn't trust banks. I don't particularly like him either, but he stays in business even if you support Joja. That doesn't sound like a loser or someone without foresight to me. It suggests someone with a sideline, money stashed away, or possibly both. Any of those things take at least some foresight.
I think its a weed stash. Linus is running a secret grow operation on the mountain. That's why he just stands around there all day and lives in a tent. He works closely with the wizard and the junimo's to grow the best stuff on the planet.
It's his secret Joja membership! And that really lacy lingerie that he's hiding as a surprise for his wife!
"Peter gasped as Boris' soft hands traveled down his shaking..." Caroline: Pierre! What are you writing? Pierre: Nothing, dear!
But why would Caroline be mad if she found out? The dialogue should then say: "If the witch heard about this, she will curse my wife and daughter!"
She would be mad cause she thinks peirre doesn't know, but the knows. Also hes keeping it secret from he town or the witch
I'm pretty sure it was intended to be porn, since he specifically mentions not wanting Caroline to know. If it was drugs or something else, the dialogue would probably be more along the lines of "don't tell anyone/don't tell Caroline and Abigail". I think the fact he only mentions Caroline implies it's something sexual. It's still cool that people are coming up with their own theories though! I like the idea of a secret Joja membership.
The idea it was a Joja membership came from thinking *what would be the absolute worst thing Pierre would want to admit having* and while porn or drugs probably make more sense, having a membership to the direct rival was just too good to pass up! Maybe he's secretly seeing that cashier babe at Joja's (the one that never leaves) and has a bunch of outfits for her? Pierre's marriage seems to be on the rocks, so...
Actually this 2nd story has bothered me recently. Same with a lot of other places. Maru's is obviously separate from the structure. Mulners have an upstairs but George has a friggin' wheelchair.. I've been working on upgrades but soo much doesn't make sense and just trying to work around it all.
Actually, second-story windows don't necessarily mean a second story. In the late 1800s and early 1900s, stores were sometimes built with false fronts on an upper story. It could be that Pierre's has that same setup. It could also be that he uses the upstairs for storage, or a grow setup, or maybe we'll never know for sure. As for the Mullners' setup... honestly, I feel like George and Evelyn should be sleeping in what is canonically Alex's room, and Alex should have had the smaller bedroom.
My first thought was porn. I mean, in one of the cutscenes Jodi does imply that Sam enjoys a lot of "special alone time," so I don't think the game would shy away from the topic!
