un: Ganymede - Mithrun's case

[ganymed]

...What does have everyone have now?

It's been more than two days now since what happened.

Whatever everyone has been finding out, we should put it together, or something like that. Even as new information comes in.

As for me, I took a look at the bloody trail of footprints, which I confirmed to be Mithrun's. He didn't seem to be in any much of a rush, like he wasn't paying much mind or attention to where he was going either.

The trail of blood was only a mess due to the amount of traffic, as it is, without adding to any more prints as NPCs don't leave footprints.

Anyone else have anything more?

Bear-kun might have the right of it.

But where is the rest? His lips and the inside of his mouth (inner cheeks, tongue) were scratched, but not the inside of his throat as far as I could tell.

[gluttoning]

did he try to eat something with spikes on it and then stop? I know the pain wouldn't have stopped him, but... maybe he couldn't get it into his mouth.

[tinged]

[ mithrun, why eat shitty spiky fish with hani has x99 chocolate bars with his name on it… :( ]

He doesn’t like to be stopped.

[gluttoning]

yeah.

hani, you said the swelling was just on his lips and tongue, right? he didn't have any of those cuts on the inside of his mouth, did he?

[tinged]

He did. I would say more scratches on the inside than out. They just didn’t go as deep as his throat.

Do you have more ideas?

[gluttoning]

no. im sorry.

maybe we can find more things if they let us look at the casino. Or whatever place it was he visited from the gate.

[AKA the areas that just opened today hooray]

[tinged]

Not sorry. Don't be sorry.

Every perspective counts.

Will you be OK to look at those places? You don't have to.

[gluttoning]

ill be okay

i want to try the gate. but i think someone good with details should look in the casino

[tinged]

[ if he says so... ]

Then, please, let me know your results. And if you need healing, I'll be here.

[ganymed]

[ At some point...later or whatever since everyone can see the deets- ]

I think everyone can see what's going on with the casino without even looking at it too hard. I checked it out when I got the chance.

Muddled bloody footprints from the Chaos Gate to Casino...it looked like it originated from the crane machine.

Blood was all over the front of that machine with the adorable kitty plushes.

There was a bunch of water too, from the water fountain and an impact crater in the nearest building wall.

Even if that place has PVP or whatever, this really seems like overkill...

[dissimulative]

mithrun was an edge punisher
they have low hp and low def
youd think that an attack or three would PK him for good
but its EVERYWHERE

[ganymed]

It is. I guess one reason for an attack spread to be all over the place would be if, maybe...he wasn't the only target?

[dissimulative]

like someone casting an aoe to make sure they get a hit in?

[ Like a Shadow Warlock??? ]

[ganymed]

[ Magic classes...gotta love 'em ]

...Excessive, but I guess it would be a very valid strategy.

It might also explain the reason behind the variance in the damage on Mithrun left by the spells?

[dissimulative]

yeah
mithrun was..................
really fast
he could keep up with my speed too
so i can see that happening
just barely avoiding some attacks

[ganymed]

Yeah.

I wonder what exactly the fight was even about. Though, we know it all seemed to start at Lumina Cloth.

Mithrun must have tried to at least hit back too. Even if it didn't do him much good, it seems.

[dissimulative]

yeah i dont think hed just take it
unless hes testing something

[ And Oria thinks with Matoba, it could have leaned into the latter... ]

[ganymed]

Testing something??

I sure hope this wasn't the result of something like that.

[dissimulative]

mithrun was a researcher
he lived and died for beta testing
...
i wish the second part wasnt too real now

[ganymed]

[ Ganymede has nothing nice to say whatsoever about it. ]

Some research this was, IF that was the case. Ugh!

Anyway, I believe he's still out there, somewhere. Even if his avatar is...like that. The problem is even if we do have an idea of who could have taken him down, what the hell do we do now? That guy isn't around to answer a single question and we have no idea of either one's IRL whereabouts.

[gluttoning]

yeah

maybe the two of them got into a fight at the casino over something. mithrun isn't normally that disoriented so maybe something happened. 0koto said he wanted to try out alchemy. maybe that?

if he wasn't doing well when he entered the gate that might be why he looks so hurt. the monsters could have done some of it.

i just dont get why that would kill him in the root town. poison?

[ganymed]

Probably some kind of poison, at the least, and something in there involving a fish.

It starts in Lumina Cloth in the Casino, then maybe there's a retreat to the Gate, he goes to the dungeon which turns out bad, but then he makes his return...?

[dissimulative]

i know that theres poison implemented in the game at least
my special gear has a poison effect

[threatmewted]

Alchemists can make a potion that causes confusion and messes with your controls.

[ophidie]

Sorry, I'm still thinking about the order of events. I'll keep mulling it over. Maybe if someone who's using the alchemy system weighs in, I might have more to go off of.

I've never heard of or seen anything like that Area. It leads me to wonder if something is wrong with it. He was walking around for a long time, wasn't he...? If we believe that NPC.

Do you think something made it so he wasn't able to heal? If that was the case, your inclination would be try and "reset" the process, wouldn't it?
