Talk:Reply: The Outsider (Note)/@comment-1627254-20180312053440/@comment-744426-20180313212431

It's hard to tell since the Notes aren't signed, but we can extrapolate from in-game clues.

When Elsenova speaks English, it's in halted phrases, sometimes leaving out articles. The Vykhya Notes are interesting in that they are perfectly translated, showing us the Rusalka speak Vykhya as their Native language, and thus any "accents" should be gone, leaving only their personality or "style" of writing.

I  think it's likely that Elsenova wrote Athetos (Note) ("he thinks I'm dead": when we found her, she was near dead), and this is written in a sort-of "matter-of-fact", straightforward style that matches Elsenova's in-game personality. Veruska tends to speak English in a haughty, fanciful manner, so we could assume she speaks Vykhya in a similar way. Also, since these 2 notes are about Ophelia, we can rule her out as either Author. Reading "The Outsider" and then "Reply", it seems the first is matter-of-fact and the second is more fanciful.
