Harald Hoerwick is the name of CC Corp's lead designer. I found that he passed away in February 1999, but there's strikingly little information available about him anywhere. His death was almost a footnote, metaphorically.

It's possible that Emma Wielant came up for the concept for Zelkova, and Harald programmed him in.

Also, are you emotionally compromised or are you just on substances?

im not emorional

or drunk

i didnt srink anything

[tablescraps]

Did you run an Area with Drunkard in the third position? Winter noted the two of you'd just visited a dungeon.

[insinning]

yeah

how did you know

[tablescraps]

Then you're functionally drunk. That's what that keyword does. It'll probably last 24 hours at most. Don't go to the nameless Root Town or you'll probably fall over an island's edge.

[insinning]

oh

im not clumsy


but things ars spinning

[tablescraps]

Have you drank before?

Also, when you say Emma writes poems, did she write the poems we've been finding in the game, do you know?

[insinning]

yes

in the hotsprings to get rid of the cold curse


zelkova said sh wrot all of it but h doesn't know what the redacted parts ar

[tablescraps]

Did you drink enough to get drunk then?

That's interesting, though. Did Zelkova say anythng else that you currently recall?

[insinning]

no

tipsy maybe idk

he spoke a lot about what emma did and mama

also he recommended we leave flowers for the graveyard with sexton but be careful

[tablescraps]

Of?

[insinning]

the sexton

Re: @Mithrun1

[threatmewted]

So... what. He had a crush on some woman and programmed in her "kid?"

That's super creepy.

[tablescraps]

( true if so but he doesn't rly care either way )

We don't really know what the situation was yet. While there's nothing to suggest that they worked together on Zelkova, there's also nothing to suggest that they didn't. It's also Zelkova referring to them as mother and (apparently) father; we don't know if he was told to refer to them that way or not. Third parties referring to them as such, if you count the woman spreading the sickness.

It'd probably be better to ask Zelkova for details. Sinclair when he's sober.

[threatmewted]

I've got a few questions for him anyway.

[tablescraps]

Share what you find.

( Assuming no one threatens her into silence again, he guesses... )

[threatmewted]

I'll share whatever I can.

26/9 no longer drunk

@ hana @ mithrun1 :

I am so sorry about last night.

I'm never visiting that dungeon again. To clarify :

Zelkova confirmed Emma Wielant is his mom, and she created him. She does not work for CC Corp, but was a member of an environmental organisation called Mama. She was also interested in anthroposophy and spiritual consciousness. She also was also a nurse.

Her poem was posted online for awhile, but was designed in a way that it couldn't be copied.

The poem will be important later. Harald Hoerwick had her memory buried in the graveyard, but from what I could tell, they didn't seem to work together? That was just my feeling. But I was only talking to him through text, so maybe things got lost.

[tablescraps]

I see. I'll contact Zelkova myself, at some point. If your impression is correct, then Shoka's assessment might be accurate, though I don't really know if it matters either way.

How are you feeling?

[insinning]

im a bit embarrassed but i feel better now. sometimes, dungeons really are what they say
