[The Crossing is coming again.

There is no advance warning from The Ferryman this time. There is nothing to draw your attention towards the message that appears on your device, whatever it may be, except perhaps the expectation that it should be appearing soon.

Whether you think to check for it or you simply stumble upon it, the words are there just as before:]

A toll to be levied for safe passage
from the desert to ǝɹǝɥʍǝsʅǝ

envision a place of comfort and safety
a haven from the wants and ills of life
be it for a moment or for a lifetime

offer it to The Ferryman
and let go

I will be abstaining from taking the toll and Yusuke will be joining me. I do not suggest that anyone else join us without experience or probable cause.

[callsignhornet]

Well, I'll be going with the folks who are abstaining. I was special forces where I come from so I figured I can help keep those traveling without the Ferryman's protection safe.

[marblenest]

Ah, yes. I believe we've spoken before.

... If I may be blunt with you, I might have a personal favor to ask of you. Might we be able to speak privately?

[callsignhornet]

Sent. Hope to hear from you soon.
