<tabber> Pathologic 2= {{Spoilers}} {{Infobox | image = Murkytrade.png | name = Murky (''Мишка'') | faction = [[Termites]] | age = 8 | layer = Blood | status = <span title="This character's fate is dependant on actions taken in the story."><u>Alive*</u></span> | location = [[Train Station|Murky's Train Car]]<br>The Warehouses<br>The [[Haruspex's Lair]] | family = Unnamed father <span title="Deceased"><u><sup>†</sup></u></span><br/>Unnamed mother <span title="Deceased"><u><sup>†</sup></u></span><br/>[[Artemy Burakh]] (adoptive father)<br/>[[Sticky]] (adoptive brother) | voiceactorru = Tatiana Vesyolkina | voiceactoreng = Avery }} [[Murky]] is a fragile, sickly-looking girl. She is one of the town's orphans. ==Description== {{Quote|An orphan with an autistic spectrum disorder, she grumbles, mutters, avoids eye contact and struggles to express her thoughts. Poke her even a little and she shuts off. Her parents died during the First Outbreak. Murky bears living witness to “[[Isidor Burakh|Isidor’s]] crime” (he essentially killed them). She develops a spontaneous and morbid attachment to the [[Haruspex]], who she follows everywhere. Conscience itself, walking on dirty feet.<p>For the player, her story has to be the emotional equivalent of a hoof kick to the chest.|From the game's design documents}} Murky is a grumpy and broody young girl. She often gets hunches and some describe her as a "feral child, improperly raised". The Earth seems to be able to speak to Murky in a way that is not dissimilar to the ability of the [[Haruspex]] or some of the [[Mistresses]]. She often spends time with the [[Soul-and-a-Half Fortress|Soul-and-a-Halves]]. She lives in an abandoned train car by the [[Train Station]]. She often dreams that one day the Train will unlock from the tracks and take her away to the sea as she sleeps. She believes that people are like safety pins; open or closed, they always have a pointing end. Murky is one of the children on [[Isidor Burakh|Isidor Burakh's]] [[list]]. == Background == During the First Outbreak 5 years prior to the events of ''Pathologic 2'', Murky's parents died of [[Plague|Sand Plague]] alongside the rest of those [[Isidor Burakh]] locked in the [[The Town|Crude Sprawl]]. Murky became an orphan at a very young age and now lives alone. She dislikes Isidor Burakh for what he did. It is likely that, like the other [[Termites]], Murky spent some time in the [[Polyhedron]]. == Appearance == Murky is a very small girl covered in dirt. She has short, scruffy brown hair and light grey eyes. She wears a dark green sweater with a blue scarf wrapped underneath her shoulders. Beneath her sweater is a patchy rag, that lays on top of a dress (or a skirt) of quilt patches. She is barefoot and has very dirty hands. == Plot == === Haruspex Route === {{Quote|And my path was called "Feed The Doll". I also wanted to be with mom and dad...}} As Murky lives near the [[Train Station]], she was one of the few people who witnessed the [[Haruspex]] get attacked and consequently kill three people on the night of his arrival. She is wary, but curious about the Haruspex. She watches him assist [[Notkin]] with his trouble with [[Lika]] but says very little to him. Murky clashes with [[Grace]] often as she believes that Grace's method of talking to the dead is inefficient and dangerous. She believes her way is far superior - and far safer. On the day of [[Isidor Burakh]]'s funeral, Murky convinces the Haruspex to use her method to speak to the spirit of his dead father. Murky's method involves collecting a bundle of herbs - three blades of [[Twyre|twyre]] (blood, black, and brown), and one blade of [[Swevery|swevery]] - and imagining the spirit of the person speaking to you. The Haruspex fails at her method and grows frustrated with Murky. She grumbles that there is nothing about the Haruspex to love before he leaves her in the [[The Town|Steppe]]. Following the Haruspex settling into the [[Haruspex's Lair]], Murky often visits him inside, following his movements. She makes friends with [[Sticky]] and comes to think of him as brother. The Haruspex can attempt to convince Murky to stay in the Lair permanently. Though she is resistant to the idea she concedes that she'll stay if he provides food. As the epidemic consumes the Town, Murky makes a mysterious friend, one that the Haruspex suspects is incredibly dangerous. Murky's friend dislikes the Haruspex because he is a doctor, and they are distrustful of doctors. It isn't until later at the [[Crowstone]] that the Haruspex discovers that Murky's friend was a manifestation of the [[Sand Plague]]. Either the Haruspex takes the Plague's (who appears as the [[Changeling]]) deal and he becomes infected or he refuses and the Plague kills Murky. If the Haruspex becomes infected, Murky runs back to her train car, scared but alive. She worries that the Haruspex might be angry with her for leaving. If Murky dies, either by not visiting the Crowstone or if the Haruspex does not take the Plague's "gift", she appears in the Haruspex's dream, begging him to pay more attention to the people he cares about. The dream following her death is required in order to obtain the [[Achievements and Trophies|Dream On]] achievement. Murky is among the children who retreat to the [[Polyhedron]] following the arrival of the [[Aglaya Lilich|Inquisitor]] and the [[Alexander Block|Commander]]. On the tenth day, Murky becomes infected alongside the other children on Isidor Burakh's list. She then reveals to the Haruspex that she has always loved him, no matter what she might have said. In the [[Diurnal Ending]], Murky moves in to [[Isidor Burakh's House]] alongside her adoptive brother Sticky and her adoptive father the Haruspex. In the [[Nocturnal Ending]], Murky is one of the few people who are not part of [[the Kin]] who doesn't leave the Town, along with Sticky and Grace. === Pathologic: The Marble Nest === Murky is not present in ''The Marble Nest'', and does not appear at all on the [[Bachelor's]] ''People'' screen or the map. It is unclear if she is alive or dead. == Spoken Dialogue == :''→ See [[Murky/Spoken Dialogue#Pathologic_2]]'' == Screenshots == <gallery> NPC Mishka.png|Murky's in-game portrait Murky.png|Murky in dialogue MurkyFullModelPathologic2.png|Murky's full model Murky house.png|Murky outside the [[Haruspex's Lair]] Murky graveyard.jpg|Murky in the [[Cemetery]] Murky warehouse.png|Murky in the [[Soul-and-a-Half Fortress]] Murky vagon p2.jpg|Murky on the roof of her train car StickyMurkyTower.png|Murky with [[Sticky]] in the [[Polyhedron]] sticky murky school dream.png|Murky and Sticky in a [[Dreams|dream]] Sticky murky dinural.png|Murky and [[Sticky]] in the Diurnal Ending Murky train car.png|Murky in her train car in the Diurnal Ending Murky theatre.png|Murky in the [[Theatre]] </gallery> == Official Art == <gallery> Meethos-mishka.jpg|Remake concept art MurkyFullModelPathologic2(2).png|Murky's full model </gallery> == Animation Video == <div class="fpvideos"> <div class="fpvideo">{{#ev:youtube|vPvVlSc4ruc|560||||autoplay=false}}</div> </div> == Notes == * According to the official <i>Pathologic 2</i> artbook, Murky is stated to be autistic. * Murky's voice lines can be heard in the Children on Gorkhon trailer.<ref>[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=pQIWmfC_CCw Pathologic 2 - Release Date Trailer | Children of Gorkhon]</ref> * The Haruspex will be able to keep the twyre he plucks for Murky's "ritual" on Day 2. * Murky's death on Day 7 is required to obtain the [[Achievements and Trophies|Dream On]] achievement, as the player must witness the dream with her final message in order to fulfill the necessary requirements. == References == {{Reflist}} __NOEDITSECTION__ |-| Pathologic= {{Infobox | image = MurkyHDmodel.png | name = Murky (''Мишка'') | nickname = | faction = [[Termites]] | age = 8 | status = <span title="This character's fate is dependant on actions taken in the story."><u>Alive*</u></span> | location = [[Train_Station#Murky.27s_Train_Car|Murky's Van]] | family = Unnamed father <span title="Deceased"><u><sup>†</sup></u></span><br/>Unnamed mother <span title="Deceased"><u><sup>†</sup></u></span> | color = Dark chocolate | bodypart = Nails | animal = Lemur | voiceactorru = Nadezhda Ushanova | voiceactoreng = }} [[Murky]] is a fragile, sickly-looking orphan girl who lives in a railway carriage next to the [[Train Station]]. She is another one of the Town's orphans. == Description == {{Quote|'''Appearance''': Never smiles. Cute but feral. Penetrating glance, dilated pupils. Dark long hair falling down her shoulders, sometimes combed into two massive braids. Murky looks like she is trying to conceal a shock. <br/> <i>'''Pose''': Standing still at the threshold of the door. <br/> '''Personality''': Murky is gloomy, withdrawn and silent. Speaks indistinctly as if it comes from the ground. When answering a question she talks in riddles or replies in a single word. Both adults and kids feel disturbed by Murky’s presence. She is disliked and is the subject of many scary stories. Murky loves to play and dig in the ground. She goes on walks at night: you can often spot her in some pretty frightening places going about her own business with a preoccupied expression. She has few friends most of whom are younger than her. They are weird, moody and secretive children just like her; it’s hard to befriend them. Their games in one way or another are about building a little hut where they play house, hide from danger and fight for survival while pretending to be made-up animals. The kids speak very little. </i> | From original Pathologic character concepts <ref>https://vk.com/photo-147796_292115730</ref>}} Murky is an unsociable and gloomy child. She often speaks taciturnly and most of her answers are short or monosyllabic, which gives her the impression of a Steppe creature. [[Capella]] states that Murky will eventually grow up to replace [[Katerina Saburova]] as one of the [[Mistresses]], and become the Mistress of Earth Because she wanders at night and loves to play in the dirt, she leaves an eerie impression on both adults and children.<ref>''[https://new.vk.com/photo-33165854_358580569 Концепты: Персонажи]''</ref> She detests "scary stories." == Background == Her parents died five years before the events of the game. [[Grace]] states that their spirits "do nothing but cry." Murky owns a [[Murky's Toy|doll]] that her parents gave to her while they were still alive, which she cares for deeply. According to her, the doll eats the grass that grows near the bull burial. The doll "listens to the Earth" and then passes the information to Murky. In the first outbreak, Murky gave [[Grace]] three [[Shmowder|powders]] to heal her and her father. The other children see her as imaginative and fond of sinister places. == Appearance == Murky is a very small girl with short black hair and light grey eyes. She wears a long grey sweater with a blue scarf wrapped under her shoulders and around her torso. Her sweater is very dirty on the sleeves and the waist. She wears a long green skirt and chunky black boots. In the beta version of ''Pathologic'', Murky wears a purple dress with a grey sweater underneath. == Portrait Quotes == <div class="nomobile"> {| class="wikitable" |- |[[File:StickyHDportrait.jpg|150px]]||''"We're friends with Murky, even though she's just a little tot.

One of the people the Bachelor must examine is the [[Changeling]]. In order to take her blood, the Bachelor talks to [[Grace]], who then tells him to find Murky. Murky teaches him how to tell the difference between the real Changeling and her sister, after which the Bachelor can find the Changeling again to take her blood. If the Bachelor wishes for the [[Haruspex]] to attend the [[Cathedral]] meeting on <b>Day 12</b>, he may need to visit [[Train Station#Murky.27s_Train_Car|her home]] to make sure Murky is healthy. ====Haruspex Route==== Murky is one of the [[Haruspex's]] [[Bound]] and can be at risk of becoming sick if he does not complete his daily quests. He can meet Murky on his first day in [[the Town]] if he chooses to investigate [[Isidor Burakh|his father's]] murder. Murky was one of the children his father taught, and visited him the night he was murdered. After she returned to [[Train Station#Murky.27s_Train_Car|her van]], she witnessed the Haruspex's arrival. She then went to sleep. Murky mentions that she often doesn't sleep at night. On <b>Day 10</b> [[Capella]] tells the Haruspex that the [[Changeling]] has made Murky anxious and now she wants to go outside. When the [[Haruspex]] visits her, she states that her doll went out for a walk to find herbs to eat. If the [[Haruspex]] finds the doll then Murky rewards him with [[Abattoir Blood]] and tells him he can get more from the pool forming underneath the [[Polyhedron]]. Later, Murky helps the Haruspex acquire two vials of [[Abattoir Blood]] in return for finding [[Murky's Toy|her doll]]. She also offers her opinion on the [[Bos Turokh|aurochs]] found in the [[Bone Stake Lot]]. She wishes for the bull to remain, and says her doll told her about it. If the Haruspex wishes to attend the [[Cathedral]] meeting on <i>Day 12</i>, he must make sure Murky is not infected with the [[Plague]]. Following the "Termite Ending", [[Capella]] states that Murky will become one of the rulers of the town, controlling street beautification, sanitation, and the water supply. She can listen to the Earth truthfully, without influences from creatures such as the [[Rat Prophet]]. She'll become known as the [[Mistresses|Lilac Mistress]]. ====Changeling Route==== The [[Changeling]] does not meet Murky unless she wishes for the [[Haruspex]] to attend the [[Cathedral]] meeting on <b>Day 12</b>, in which case she may need to visit [[Train Station#Murky.27s_Train_Car|her home]] to make sure she is healthy. == Spoken Dialogue == :<i>→ See [[Murky/Spoken Dialogue]]</i> == Gallery == <gallery> Mishka photo.png|Murky's in-game portrait in the original ''Pathologic'' MurkyHDportrait.jpg|Murky's in-game portrait in ''Pathologic Classic HD'' MurkyHDfullmodel.png|Murky's full model in ''Pathologic Classic HD'' Murkybackp1.png|Murky's back in ''Pathologic Classic HD'' File:Murky 2004 front.png|Murky's full model in the ''Pathologic'' 2004 alpha File:Murky 2004 back.png|Murky's back in the ''Pathologic'' 2004 alpha Mishka development.jpg|Murky development shot for the original ''Pathologic'' Alpha 2004 murky.png|Murky in 2004 Alpha version of ''Pathologic'' Alpha 2004 murky and friends.png|Murky with Sticky and Taya in 2004 Alpha version of ''Pathologic'' Murky vagon.jpg|Murky in game Murky 1.jpg|Murky in game Murky 2.jpg|Murky in game Mishka model.png|Murky in game File:Murky intro.png|Murky in the intro File:Murky intro 2.png|Murky in the intro File:Taya sticky and murky.png|Murky with Taya and Sticky in the intro Mishka_doll.png|Murky's doll in the original ''Pathologic'' </gallery> == Official Art == <gallery> Mishka_concept.jpg|Murky concept art for the original ''Pathologic'' Murkyofficialart.jpg|Murky concept art for the original ''Pathologic''</gallery> == Notes == * In the original 2005 English translation of the game, her name was written as "Mishka." * Her Russian name—''"Мишка"''—is an affectionate way of saying "little bear". It can refer to teddy bears, furthering her connection with dolls. * Her [[Murky's Toy|doll]] resembles [[the Haruspex]]. == References == {{Reflist}} __NOEDITSECTION__ </tabber> {{CharactersNavbox}} [[Category:Characters]] [[Category:Characters (Pathologic 2)]] [[Category:Termites]] [[ru:Мишка]]
