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?

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.

[dissimulative]

if we are talking about the same guy
hes probably busy with irl stuff

[ganymed]

And still not around to answer questions.

[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

[ganymed]

Which kind of leads back to that thorn item thing too, in my opinion. It could be the source of the poison.

[dissimulative]

a thorn thing that could have poison in it........
like a barb?

[ophidie]

I think he was already injured when he entered Lumina Cloth, based on the trail.

[ganymed]

...Then he'd already be sporting injuries before he met up with that other player, you mean?

[gluttoning]

the npcs didnt say anything about him being injured until he was leaving the casino, right?

[ophidie]

If that's what happened, then it's definitely possible.

I don't think the crane game machine was broken in any way, even if there was blood on it. So it couldn't have cut him.

[threatmewted]

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

[gluttoning]

maybe that would explain why he couldnt find the gate

but i don't know if there was anything left anywhere to prove that

[threatmewted]

I don't even know if it WOULD leave behind signs. It's just a game effect after all.

[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?

[ganymed]

What do you mean by reset? Log out?

[ophidie]

No.



Die.

Logically...you'd hope that you'd respawn uninjured as normal. Right?

[ganymed]

I think it'd be easier to just log out at that point, wouldn't it?

Trying to 'reset' by dying sounds like it'd make it more difficult.

[gluttoning]

that doesnt seem like him though

he would want to test as much as possible while he felt weird, not respawn
