Dear Carole

I hope this letter will find you.

I've managed to leave my parents' farm. I couldn't do it with you by my side but I've succeeded years later. I've often thought of you, while following the struggle. It's amazing what you've accomplished. I wonder what you're fighting for now, who you live with, what you do...

I'm down south now, with my own farm. It's small but it's mine.

I wish I could turn back time to return to that day on the train and have the courage I lacked then but that's not possible.

I cried a lot after you left but at least I understood one thing: we can't turn back. We can only move forward. That's what I'm trying to do now.

Lots of love. Delpfine.

ROCK EN SEINE – Vibrant and Colorful- Festival review 25-28 /08/2022

[starrysharks]

seeing as magical girl ward revolves around the internet... which social media do you think each girl would be more active on? Or, are any of them in any fandoms?

(I said each girl, but you can pick only one of them too ofc :33 )

ooo i have lots of thoughts about this. generally i imagined the social media that they all talk on is a discord stand-in, but they're all super online kids and definitely use different socmeds different ways!!!

velvet is probably a constant bitter.com (twitter) and tiptop (tiktok) user. she's the sort of person who has only a handful of interests/hobbies, but what she is into is intensely loved by her - namely menhera subculture, j-fashion in general, and romance visual novels, all of which she has concerning amounts of knowledge on and constantly gets into argues about those topics on her aforementioned social medias.

lillith spends all her time girlblogging on bunblr (tumblr) and reposting aesthetic images. she also probably uses it as a diary, but only posts in a weird prosey cryptic poem type language. like, if she missed the bus that day, she'd write something like:

🐰 lago_lyre follow

my dearest disciples, the claw of the devil held me back from my routine yet again... the rain roared in ridicule as my transport disappeared into the foggy abyss - the abyss i so needed to enter... what ensued was waiting, arrival, punishment. such is the life of a pariah like myself, washed away by the wind and the whims of time.

#lillith's literature #diary #daily life

___________________________________________

momo, on the other hand, spends all her time on the discord stand in (maybe it's called blisscord or something? that'd be cool, don't really have a final name for it yet) talking to randoms and posting pictures of her various otaku collections. maybe she also posts on a private bitter account too?

izia is ABSOLUTELY a tiptop addict who destroyed her attention span watching funny little videos. she just likes whatever's popular or funny. however as the least terminally online of the six, she probably sticks to posting sports images on instaglam (instagram) from time to time.

calico spends all her time on bitter doomsrolling. she's one of the more nihilistic of the group, and is probably convinced that everyone's evil, there are no good people left on earth, etc... she only uses the app to scroll and rant about tiny things that annoy her. also probably posts on the random board of 4sham from time to time (using different IPs because she keeps getting banned for spamming).

poemu posts on multiple platforms - bitter, bunblr, instaglam, and art-focused websites to share her artworks. i think she'd probably be pretty popular, with around 5k followers on bitter for example. she talks normally to her followers and art mutuals but vents on a private bitter account and to the other girls in their chatroom.

Examining Fyodor Vitin's "Mask" post

This collects various notes written while trying to analyse the post by Vitin from May 26th, 2023, where Vitin showed us the photo of an Executor mask and shared an interesting, but untranslated phrase from the Steppe language.

I wasn't able to arrive at any conclusions that, I think, would be able to move the ARG - to get that out of the way - but I thought to share the gathered material anyways, for anyone interested. Due to its sheer length, the entire thing is under the cut.

The Doomed City

We have since found out that the ARG contains parallels to the novel The Doomed City by Arkady and Boris Strugatsky.

In the book, the main character is Andrei Voronin, an astronomer from Leningrad.

Andrei Voronin was the solution to Zimin's "riddle," where we were required to find out the only person who was authorised by Vitin to speak on his behalf. Someone "A." was the answer.

Back then, we initially assumed Katzman to be the right answer due to 1) Vitin referring to him as "my good friend and colleague" 2) Zimin's initials, A.V., were assumed to make him a parallel to Andrei Voronin, therefore Vitin's friend would be Katzman… presumably? (Turned out to be wrong..)

In the novel, Voronin lives in the titular Doomed City, which is surrounded by a swamp and a desert. Eventually, he and his sceptical friend, Izya (Izia) Katzman lead an expedition to explore the desert. The expedition ends tragically, with Katzman and Voronin being the last survivors; however, they find out that the desert contained many ruins of Earth cultures, showing that this mysterious world of the City is actually very old and was previously inhabited by humans. On the border of the world, Andrei apparently dies by trying to shoot at his double; however, he suddenly returns to Leningrad, where the person who recruited him into this mysterious world tells him that he passed the first circle, but "there are many of them ahead". The themes of a ruined world and potential timeloops seem to be ever-present in Pathologic 2.

Dosoo ba beshē tēēhēē

According to Vitin, this is the name of "a seasonal festival of the central region's steppe people".

This phrase is probably, at least partially, based on Buryat language. (If you speak Buryat, please hit me up!)

I've seen around a lot of people interpreting it as having something to do with the number seven. I wasn't able to find the source of these claims, or figure out the connection. If you know more about what was this theory, let me know!

All meanings of the words are referenced from this dictionary: Burlang.Toli

"Dosoo" might be equivalent to "досоо", which could mean: 1) Insides, internal organs; 2) Soul (metaphorical); 3) Other contextual meanings related to being inside of something

"ba" is probably "ба", which means "and"

"beshē" is used in Pathologic 2 in context of "no," "not," disagreement: 1) from Pathologic Wiki: "Ime beshe (Имэ бэшэ) — it's not that, it's not like that"; 2) From conversations with Taya Tycheek: Taya: I'll be the Mistress of Bulls. Haruspex: How about "Mistress of the Kin," instead? Taya: Beshe, beshe… And who will you be?

"beshē" is also, of course, similar to the word "бэшэ" from Buryat, which means: 1) Other, different, the rest. Example: "бэшэ нүхэдшни хаанаб?" - "where are your other friends?"; 2) A grammatical particle reverting the meaning of a word or a sentence, usually in context of two things opposing each other. Example: "Мэдээжэ ба мэдээжэ бэшэ" - "Known and unknown"

"tēēhēē" is a tough one, as I haven't been able to find any transliteration that would get me anything out of the Buryat dictionary, and this word has seemingly never been spoken in Pathologic 1 or 2. Most similar I've found were "тэхэ" - a goat; "тиихэ", same as "тиигэхэ", which is a default form of a word with many meanings, related to "to do something the implied way": for example, has such forms as "тиигүүжэм" - "I will do something in this way"; "тиигэ" - "Do it, let's do it", expressing agreement; "нүхэр болохоёо тиигэнэ гүш?" - "You wish to become a friend?"

A crude translation then could either be: "inside and other tēēhēē" (meaning or related to inside and outside???); or, "Inside and not (tēēhēē)" (or non-tēēhēē, un-tēēhēē etc). The second option is closer to the usage of "бэшэ" in Pathologic, however, in the real Buryat, the grammatical particle "бэшэ" only has the "reverse the meaning of the word next to it" effect when the word it reverses is before бэшэ (ex.: "мэдээжэ" - known, "мэдээжэ бэшэ" - unknown). This could potentially (highlighting doubt in this theory) mean that in the Pathologic's Steppe Language, "бэшэ" cancels the word after it, unlike in Buryat. However, the known Steppe phrase "Ime beshe", meaning "it's not that", in my opinion contradicts this conclusion..? (Ime or имэ is not a real Buryat word, as far as I can tell.)

Interesting but unrelated example from Buryat language: "муу бэшэ" - "not bad, satisfying", бэшэ here reversing the meaning of муу, as per one of the meanings of that word listed in the paragraph above.

And now, for a smoother transition into the next part, let's also examine the Wicked Bird mentioned in the same post, Muu Shubuun: "муу" (muu) is the Buryat word for bad, evil, wicked; "шубуу(н)" means a bird or related to birds. Literally, the bad bird.

The Wicked Bird and Suok

We don't actually get a lot of information about Muu Shubuun from Patho2, the most extensive mention of it being this exchange between Mark Immortel and Artemy Burakh: Immortell: We have a ton of steppe theatre costumes in the storeroom. Especially those wicked birds, Muu Shubuun. The ones that symbolize death. Do steppe people like the play with death? Haruspex: Muu Shubuun is not a mask of death. It's actually more about life.

The meaning of that isn't clear - an executor, wearing the Muu Shubuun mask, appears in the Marble Nest frequently, trying to convince the Bachelor to accept death.

Muu Shubuun is not mentioned in Pathologic 1.

In Pathologic 2, "types" of Townsfolk are named after various birds: Crows, Nightjars, Pigeons, Doves, Finches, Geese etc.

Back to Vitin's "Mask" post: Inside was a massive bone mask in the shape of a bird's skull. This particular fétiche was probably carved in the likeness of Muu Shubuun, the Wicked Bird. The first known mention of it is associated with the dosoo ba beshē tēēhēē, a seasonal festival of the central region's steppe people. The image itself is presumed to be much older, tracing back to one of the oldest creation myths.

So the festival, the name of which we've tried to piece together, could potentially be related to the Baur Meges, the Steppe religion's world-creation legend.

Per Baur Meges, Bos Turokh has existed before the universe did, but at some point, Suok, the personifiction of evil, has appeared up from abyss, "filling the world with herself." She devoured all the stars and the light, for which Bos Turokh has devoured her. Since then, Suok remains to be inside Bos Turokh, "trying in vain to consume him from within his tight embrace." This event has also led to the creation of the Universe, Wheel (so that all be destined to return to the beginning), Law (to shut Suok to eternal imprisoment?), Fear (to exgorge his pain), and Time.

We don't really know of Muu Shubuun's place in Baur Meges and other Steppe mythology. We could assume the Shubuun, or an "older" version of it, is somehow related to one of the two characters in Baur Meges, in which case it's likely to be Suok, the evil.

Suok is also associated with the Sand Pest, and the other way around: the Sand Pest is treated as a living creature.

The Sand Pest manifests as a person in the theatre's Muu Shubuuk costume.

Although the specifics of the Steppe mythology on the topic aren't known, either way, we can conclude there is a rather strong connection between Muu Shubuuk and Suok.

Tying everything together

Per Baur Meges, Suok is now entrapped inside the World Bull. I suspect the name of the festival includes the word with the meaning of or related to "inside": "dosoo".

Muu Shubuun(?) / Executor / Beakhead speaks to the Bachelor at the conclusion of each day in The Marble Nest. The Bachelor is famously trapped in a loop, potentially not unlikely Andrei Voronin from The Doomed City.

At the same time, one Mr. Katzman has recently returned from an expedition, drawing an another parallel to the events of The Doomed City. This might imply that Pathologic's Katzman has avoided entering any sort of a time/narrative loop?, but an another character might've moved on to the next "circle".

A., in reference to Andrei Voronin, is the "correct" ARG player's name, to which Zimin had responded in ways that advanced the plot. What does this mean that the player is associated with someone entering time loops, while also playing through time loops in The Marble Nest?

Further research can be done into:

Connections of bird-named Townsfolk, Muu Shubuun, Suok, the Plague;

The role of the "Mentor", the person who has recruited Andrei Voronin into the mysterious world of The Doomed City, and parallels with Muu Shubuun? (Have not read the full text of the book tbh.)

Examining Suok's role, looking for potential meanings of "Dosoo ba beshē tēēhēē" festival in Herb Bribes' actions and dialogue due to their connection to Suok.

"Muu Shubuun is not a mask of death. It's actually more about life." Why?

Feedback greatly appreciated. It doesn't seem like we're getting a lot of actual progress from the ARG now, but at least the crumbs of lore still seem to be there. :]
