How would the other ROs reacted to meeting Mekduk when the MC goes back to the cave to try and save her?
Trouble: he would have been all for saving her in concept, but would have been super thrown off by the eyeless literal ghoul that MC is so intent on saving, in his head he thought she was like... a cute yet dirty little goblin or something lol
Tallys: she would have been wary of Mekduk but mostly sympathetic of her plight and grateful towards her for saving MC
Shery: you couldn't have dragged her into that cave unless you knocked her out and bodily carried her... but if she'd met Mekduk, she would have looked past her appearance and really pitied and sympathized with her... and she would have been very interested to know that she was the last person to see Archmage Tangriel alive!
Riel: he would have been fascinated by her as a concept (a talking Ghast? this changes everything) but repulsed by her physical state and dirtiness lol, he could have probably talked past his distaste and just fired a bunch of interrogation-style questions at her though
Chase: he would have been unfazed, not the weirdest thing he's seen, like oh cool never heard of a Ghast, oh this one talks? well i didn't know they weren't supposed to so 🤷♂️
Red: he would have just been fascinated by her and it would have been hard to pull him away because of how many questions he had about... everything, her biology, lifestyle, diet, thought process, etc...
Ayla: I think before seeing Mekduk she would have been impatient about it, like "why do we have to waste time looking for this Tainted thing again??" but then once they met, she would have been like "must... protect..."
Briony: she'd feel so bad for Mekduk and would probably cry afterwards, like "I know she can't live in the sun but that's so saddddd 😭😭😭!!!!!!!!!! WHYYYYY"
Lavinet: she would have been extremely uncomfortable and unsettled but would have tried to hide it by being polite lol
