mother boddho the prophetic dreams you have entrusted me with keep getting barged into by two guys who i don’t even like help me. please help me.
transcriptions:
(doubled) “are you mad… are you mad at me? are you seething? are you angry? are you seething and coping? are you frothing at the mouth?”
(doubled) “are you pissed off? do you wish you could kill [me/us]? are you mad because dankovsky likes hanging out with [me/us] for reasons you cannot fathom but [i/we] can? are you mad at him? are you going to kiss him”
“AH HELL NO GET THE FUCK OUT OF MY DREAMS IM TRYING TO FIND ANSWERS I’m never drinking milk before going to bed again”
the fact that the ‘eva wants to escape’ quest is optional is genuinely upsetting to me because it’s SUCH a good example of a quest that naturally shows a new player how daniil’s bound relate to him and to each other. like it’s 10% to demonstrate futility/address the inevitable ‘ok why doesn’t he just leave’ question and 90% to show how the utopians work. eva is scared of the outbreak but codependent enough to refuse to leave without daniil (having known him for about a day) and the stamatins. andrey is an old acquaintance of daniil’s and cares for eva enough to casually and sincerely threaten death on anyone who hurts her, but values his brother above anything and won’t leave without him. peter is in a self-induced haze and values his creations enough to refuse to leave them, even in the face of a deadly plague, but has a devotion to maria that can be used to persuade him. maria knows how to pull peter’s strings but needs the stamatins in town for her own purposes and doesn’t want them to leave. it’s such a good little microcosm of pathologic’s character writing and it’s criminally easy to miss
