Unorganized Thoughts About Mhin and their Connection(s) to Lovent
Mhin's Red Choice and Alchemist!MC's Guess/Observation About Them Being A Scientist
It's already been established by the devs that Mhin helps Kuras out at the clinic. We don't know the full capacity in what way yet, but I have a feeling they help out in keeping an eye on patients or doing vitals and writing down what their complaints are before seeing Kuras.
[More under the cut!]
Mhin May Or May Not Be Centuries Old
If the MC asks Vere what he thinks of Mhin, he says that when they first encountered each other, it had happened during a Fogfall, where Mhin stabbed him in the chest with their antique dagger.
Vere is certainly an old(er) being, but what's an 'antique' to someone like Vere?
If Mhin got lost on an expedition to Lovent, could a Fogfall have displaced them in both time and space? It could move one to tears, the crushing loneliness of something like that.
Mhin May or May Not Be An Amalgamation of Other Members of the Research Expedition
This one is more than a stretch/something of a plot bunny that wandered into my brain, but what if in their Monster form, there's hints of other people imprinted into their skin, alongside a smattering of raven-like feathers and gooseflesh?
All I know for sure is that Mhin is basically a mess of multiple limbs and I can only imagine how painful the transformations would be . . .
Side note: The tan circles with question marks are me being unsure what kind of mashed-up anatomy they've got.
Is Mhin's human skull/head being consumed by whatever corvid their monstrous form is? Do they have legs/what does look like?
NOTE/EDIT: SO, I wrote this originally back in mid 2024—whoop how time does fly—I can say that the backing card of Mhin's chibi charm has the FULL silhouette of their monster form and I unfortunately and currently don't have the wherewithal to do a further deep dive/do justice to my thoughts to it currently.
Mhin May or May Not Have Been Originally With the Senobium
This goes hand in hand with who could've funded an expedition to a place such as that, and it seems in the current timeline at least, Eridia's Senobium being the "last true bastion of humanity" fits the bill alongside the first portion of this post.
A/N: This took a bit of time [I've had this in my drafts since JULY 2024—again, oops—, but thank you so much for your guys' patience!
Thinking up of every possible way to get from one place to another.
Especially coming up with escape plans for every place. For every scenario.
Buildings are a personal favorite.
In the event I can’t use the elevator and the stairs because they’re zombie-infested, what’s the best possible way to reach the ground from the second floor of this building?
Earlier I called this hobby Survival Strategies.
But after Reichenbach, I’ve switched to calling it Lazarus.
Rules: make a new post with the names of all the files in your wip folder, regardless of how non-descriptive or ridiculous. let people send you an ask with the title that most intrigues them, and then post a little snippet / detail shot* or tell them something about it! and then tag as many people as you have wips.
Just to say: my little rabbit warren of digging into this started with a joke on a discord server where people were saying Leander would look good in a priest/nun outfit.
Then, I recalled what the Senobium colors were—

[Image ID: (Picking Mhin after leaving the Wet Wick) MC, narrating: 'Doors bang open at the end of the street. Light and laughter pour out of the bar, followed by a group of giggling people in white uniforms.’]
[Image ID: (Picking Kuras after leaving the Wet Wick) MC, narrating: 'Even in the dim pink haze that seems to blanket everything, there’s no mistaking the pressed white uniform and stiffly starched hat.’]
It’s a white uniform.
And then I recall something Vere said about Leander and his Bloodhounds.
[Image ID: (Picking Vere after leaving the Wet Wick) — Vere: “ . . . but the only difference between his cronies and the Senobium’s stooges are the uniforms.”
This being the digital era and one can mess around with the settings as is, I fiddled with some screenshots of Leander.
As much as Leander and his Bloodhounds hate the Senobium . . . why are their colors the inverse of the Senobium clerics’ uniforms?

P.S. Great analysis of the Kremlin's tactics and strategy in a very focused and precise way! Very good video to watch and listen for Western politicians, experts and security service officers who did very poor intelligence and research work on Kremlin more than fifteen years ago...
