Lynx/Dark Serge's Having Kid Around

[Umaro]

It is far-fetched. Actually, I didn't think anyone would respond; it's just how I think of the situation in my head. I don't really think that's what the game is trying to convey. I, personally, just don't like the idea of a mind-control spell. Even though I'm sure that's what it is.

[Dark Serge]

Another strange thing about this by the way

If you lose the battle against your party as Lynx, after Dark Serge stabs Kid, the third party member you had with you (in my case Guile) will say: "Serge... Why???". But after you get out of the Temporal Vortex that party member still won't recognize you as Serge even though he or she was present when he got Lynx's body. It's weird. Did Dark Serge erase their memories or something? You also don't see the party member in the scene where Karsh, Zoah, and Marcy enter the ritual room, which means he or she has to have gotten out of there pretty fast. This leads me to believe Dark Serge may have teleported him or her out of there.

[utunnels]

That doesn't mean he doesn't know Lynx is Serge.

Guile:
   You are alive...!?
   But that body of yours will
   not return to normal, eh...
   Unfortunately, I will not be
   able to help you at this time...
   Please understand.

[Dark Serge]

Woops, so he does know. Guess I overlooked that.

[utunnels]

But it's still strange he won't join you.
Please understand, understand what? Because Guile doesn't like cats?

[Dark Serge]

Hmm it's possible he has something else he needs to do. I wonder what the other characters tell you who you've previously recruited.

[utunnels]

Well, you can check the script.

Mojo:
   ......?
   What happened-om
   to yoou?
   My body will turn-om
   into jelly if I doon't
   start-om working out.
 
 [The Dragon's Tail (Another)]
 

Guile:
   You are alive...!?
   But that body of yours will
   not return to normal, eh...
   Unfortunately, I will not be
   able to help you at this time...
   Please understand.
   
If you didn't recruit him before, IMO
Guile:
   I feel that I might have met
   you before...? Sorry, but
   I cannot remember.
 
 [Magical Dreamers Ship (Another)]
 
Nikki:
   Serge....!!!
   You made it out alive..?
   I almost had to sing
   a requiem for myself,
   before I realized I
   somehow made it out alive...
   I still see and hear images
   from that place in my dreams
   all the time... Sorry man, I don't
   want to go out for a while.

If you didn't recruit him before
Nikki:
   Who are you?
   
 [Shrine Area, Termina (Another)]
 If you didn't recruit him before
Greco:
   Who might you be...?
   Strange... I sense that I
   have felt your presence before.
   Hmm, I can't remember...
   
Greco:
   Serge....?
   You got away safely!!!
   I managed to escape from
   the fort somehow and
   worked my way back here.
   But it's going to be a
   while before I recover
   enough to help you.
   Forgive me, amigo...

 [Glenn and Dario's House, Termina (Another)]
 
Glenn:
   You are...!?
   But that body of yours is not
   going to return to normal...
   I am sorry, but please leave.
   I do not want to see that
   face of yours for now.

[Dark Serge]

Wow, Glenn's response is heart warming  Always knew he was an asshole. Anyway, very interesting. Most of them at least have a reason why they don't wanna come. Very interesting indeed.

[Umaro]

That's very interesting. Greco is the only one who seems to have a reasonable excuse. The others seem like they're avoiding him, like they've lost trust in Serge for the time being.

[utunnels]

Yeah, he's quite honest.

[Acacia Sgt]

Why they can't be like Pip? The little guy rejoins Serge despite being Lynx, yet the others don't seem to want to be near him.

[Umaro]

That's another thing. Pip is okay with joining you; I thought it was because, while he's not a demi-human, is not human either, but Mojo isn't human, and he doesn't want to rejoin you either.

I'm thoroughly confused now. Clearly, Serge's companions recognize him, but because he looks like Lynx they snub him.

As for Kid, the only thing I can come up with is that if her amulet really does protect her from death, maybe that's why she follows Dark Serge around. Perhaps following Serge as Lynx would have gotten her killed since he does spend a lot of time around demi-humans during that period, and demi-humans aren't too keen on humans. Maybe it's the same for Serge's other companions, too. They feel joining him as Lynx would be dangerous, or maybe they just harbour a secret prejudice for demi-humans.

[The Black Wind]

That doesn't really bother me. If you think about it, it makes sense. If one of your friends suddenly transformed into the spitting image of Adolf Hitler, wouldn't you be a bit hesitant to start walking around with him? I'd at least tell him to shave the stache or something.

What I'd like to know is how the fuck Serge's skin got so dark after Lynx possessed his body. It looks like he's been hitting the tanning salons. Unfortunately, I can't seem to remember there being any.

Well, there's the hot tropical sun above the El Nido Islands...

Let's see, he's hanging around a scantily clad chick all the time, he has plenty of time to cause general mayhem since Serge/Lynx is outta the picture temporarily - so yeah, I'd be hittin' the beaches too to say the least.

[Shadow D. Darkman]

It kinda conflicts with his mugshot when you bump into him at both Fort Dragonia and Chronopolis. It shows him pale, but the model has him with dark skin. WTF?
