Don Quixote / Chapter 7 story speculation

[NetMoverSitan]

I suspect that Chapter 7 will have some crazy narrative in it, wherever it is as it's uncertain if it's in District 19, the source material involved the main character being part of the nobility, who went mad, which could lead to her being an unreliable narrator, where what she remembers isn't how things actually went and she's unlikely to like what she finds in the reality of her past, where it's as if she believes that if she has to have a past, it might as well be multiple choice, a mix of it being an act (If her Shi Association identity is any indication) and insanity as she's certainly at least partially "outside reality", which in this case means that she's a lunatic, but at times her true self comes to the surface, at least briefly, as I doubt that there's an entire district that speaks like her, even considering that Yi Sang is what could be called typical, when it comes to how they speak in District 19.

I'm not sure what exactly will happen in that, but like the other stories, it'll have a dark twist to it or in some cases, it'll be darker than the already dark source material. Any thoughts on this?

more character breaking moment please, we still don't understand why and how sometime she Literally " FLIP " her character suddenly for few seconds.

we need answer.

She's not entirely sane, that much is certain, the source material Don Quixote certainly wasn't, that was one that went under a different name, going mad from fantasies about chivalry, much like Don Quixote has an obsession about Fixers. I wouldn't be surprised if she's either running away from...who knows what...or something happened to lead her to having nothing worth living for in the first place and she signed up with Limbus Company to find some meaning in her life.

All I can say is, I believe that in Ch7 we will be adressing Don's delusions as a form of her escapism

As in one of the two reasons that I mentioned, running away or to find meaning in her existance. A "multiple choice" past, reminds me of a certain blonde bloke with a big sword, except in Don Quixote's case, it made her even more messed up in the head.

She certainly hasn't hinted at anything significant about her past, at least with Heathcliff, we knew that he was a former thug and Ishmael was a sailor.

Dream's End sounds like there's gonna be some Don Mindbreak Treat.

Could be that she made up her Current Persona because of PTSD to keep going forward.

I clearly remember some glimpses of her True Persona when she was beating the ♥♥♥♥ out of Sinclair losing it in the First Canto.

Well, it's clear that while the Damned Dozen are resistant to distortion, they're not immune, considering what happened with Heathcliff, also that was in Chapter 3, outside of his burning home, Sinclair wasn't the Project Moon version of a certain vigilante with a bat fetish.

She was certainly insane when we first saw her in District 4.

Lol yeah, it's just me that considers the Kromer Chapter the First Canto since only felt like the Game had an actual Boss by then.

Rodya is still on Hold.

[NetMoverSitan]

Largely because Chapter 1-3 was the starter set as far as story is concerned?

Gregor and Rodya still have some unfinished business with their respective individuals, as for Rodya, the main boss encounter was kaiju sized. (that kind of abnormality is thankfully rare by comparison) So far, I'm not impressed by N Corp, they're strong when they wait for their enemies to weaken themselves due to doing all the fighting, but when they need to do the fighting themselves, when their enemy is at full strength, they're less effective.

I suspect that Don Quixote will be revealed to be from a family of similar means to Sinclair (although not as wealthy as Hong Lu's) where she was bored and she then saw the life of a Fixer and had fantasies of being one, which lead to her going at least part of the way towards going as insane as the droppings of a thieving member of Team Dark, while it took more after that to go the rest of the way. As for her joining the Damned Dozen (Dirty Dozen is taken) is it just me or were they largely looking for emotional ♥♥♥♥♥♥♥ with nothing to do? It certainly made Vergilius feel like he was travelling through Hell and that's considering that I can't imagine Hell looking much worse, considering that it's a mix of Mega City One (Judge Dredd) and Night City (Cyberpunk)

Considering that Murder of the WARP Express hints that it might not be in District 19 (Yi Sang's home District) as the WARP train can go anywhere that has a WARP train station, there's likely to be one in each of the portships to allow safe passage into them for those that can afford to use them, as for where they're going for the next Golden Bough, if it's not District 19...it's likely anywhere that they've not already been as they clearly collect all Golden Boughs in each District before heading to the next District.

It's not Ncorp they have to worry about but Herman's Group though.

Not sure if they could take Vergilius head on but i suspect they will try to kill him eventually, specially now that his "Douchebag" facade fell off.

It is P.M. setting him up for something.

Lobotomy Corp was obviously looking for desperate Individuals to use.

There are no "Good" Corpos in P.M. Setting.

[NetMoverSitan]

Hermann is affiliated with N Corp.

Yeah, there's also the fact that the Golden Boughs have the power to rewrite reality and it isn't clear what they have planned for them, I wouldn't be surprised if they decided to get rid of those that outlasted their usefulness...with Vergilius, they're welcome to try, especially considering his possibly ALEPH level E.G.O. that he demonstrated.

Whatever it is, it's unlikely to happen before Chapter 6.5 (Part 2) as he's basically Hercule Poirot in a story loosely based on Murder on the Orient Express, involving a WARP train that will likely involve him showing that he had Seven Association affiliation, at least in the past.

Lobotomy Corporation had VERY relaxed requirements for those that worked for them, they just needed the ability to feel physical and emotional pain...and that's it, as for Limbus Company, they were looking for emotional cripples that didn't have anything better to do or needed something to give their lives meaning, the latter would more likely apply to Don Quixote.

LOL!!! Of course there isn't, K Corp was lead by one who could be seen as an idealist in the past, but has since been replaced by one that wasn't so...idealistic...they all vary in terms of how amoral they are, R Corp has a reverse time dilation battle royale to determine which clones to sent to fight wherever they're sent, W Corp keeps those in standard class on WARP trains in a few millennia of torment, K Corp was exploiting a being made from a wish in a distant part of the Outskirts, refining tears that they provoke by showing disturbing images, the Head uses a number of methods to keep the other Wings in line, only showing their faces when it's a serious threat or crime, it's a setting where it's grimdark, where morality is blurry at best.

Oh but that's the thing isn't it? Hermann being a sort of Mad Scientist Plotter Antagonist manipulating P.M. Characters for her own Experiments and Goals.

I'm sure she's cooking something for Vergilius, we just don't know what exactly it's gonna happen since it's P.M. we are talking about.

We don't even know if they have actual Color Fixers working for them.

The Evil Defining showed a "Glimpse" of how Amoral and Deluded a P.M. Character can get to achieve Personal Goals and justify any kind of Monstrous/Horrendous Actions. It's very similar to Berserk's Eclipse Sacrifice Shenanigans.

The Sinners in the Story are supposedly evolving into something better fighting their respective Mirror Image Antagonists that represent that very same Amoral Arrogance they used to have that stems from some Twisted Ambition.

Yi Sang again showing that he has some sort of Moral Compass criticizing Aseah's involvement with NCorp's Experiments.

Heathcliff just wasn't strong enough to do it for himself this Time and distorted, one could argue that's due to Political Pandering Reasons since Ishmael could do it but nevertheless both Stories are far from over with Ahab being alive and Nelly making a run for it with the Bough and Heathcliff hoping to "FIX" things.

The only one that can draw a Line on how Dark the Story can get is P.M. itself.

For me, the Sky is the Limit.

Morally grey at best, regardless. Trusting N Corp loyalists or those using them with the Golden Bough is like trusting an alcoholic with running a distillery. We're talking about something that can rewrite reality.

Well, at the very least, Vergilius' recent actions will bite him in the rear in some way.

Perhaps not, but his office was clearly affiliated with Seven Association and he demonstrated his detective skills in Leviathan.

Yeah, overzealous psychotic, due to drugged rations and some of the strongest insanity outside of the Ring.

It's possible that they might fully manifest true E.G.O. at some point, making them immune to distortion, but that won't happen anytime soon. I'm amazed that none have caught on to Carmen (mentioned by name by Dongrang before he reverted and then manifested Farmwatch E.G.O.) well...Faust might, but it looks like she's not going to speak up about this until later, if she does at all.

He's someone with standards and his research being corrupted by others was below acceptable standards, in fact he saw it as an insult.

Well, Nelly is likely to live long enough to regret it.

How grimdark can it get? For them, it's Tuesday.

Gregor and Faust's gotta be some of the very Last Story Chapters because they could drop some Crazy Revelations about Lobotomy Corp, Herman's Group and Ncorp.

But to me it looks like P.M. is trying to do a Cycle thing with the Sinner Stories, but they could very well approach Specific Sinner Chapters differently.

All of them are Open Ended atm.

That reminds me about the upcoming Detective Event, maybe there's gonna some more Vergilius Fanservice.

[NetMoverSitan]

Gregor definitely has unfinished business and Faust...will likely have her group therapy session saved for last.

The group therapy sessions are there for us to find out their background stories.

Except Sinclair and Yi Sang, Kromer is dead and won't torment Sinclair anymore, he's not going to be the Project Moon universe's version of Batman, as for Yi Sang...Dongrang is dead. Gregor has unfinished business with Hermann, Rodya with Sonya (who has his own agenda and was only loosely allied with N Corp) Ahab was recruited by Hermann after she somehow survived (most notably she was so psychotic, Carmen looked at her and went "I'm outta here, It's worse than pointless to convince this crazy woman) and as for Heathcliff, Nelly will live long enough to regret her decision.

Yeah, it's themed around Agatha Christie's "Murder on the Orient Express", Vergilius is a Seven Association affiliate or at least he was at some point in the past, so he'd be the detective in that. It's also why the next Golden Bough might not be in District 19 (Yi Sang's home district) as the WARP train could take them anywhere that they haven't already been.

[16 TIMES THE MIN REQUIREMENTS!!!]

They have been throwing Yi Sang's former Companions around but i think everything about the League of Nine Littérateurs Chapter will end up with Gubo getting rekt.

Unsure if he dies by Yi Sang's Hand though.
