text | Header: URGENT QUESTION

I have an important question for the sake of organizing information about the group.

Feel free to message me directly if you don't feel comfortable sharing publicly.

In the world you are from, what year is it?

Edit: record of death for me should be 2186. Or 2187, though it would be very early in the year.
spaghettimonster: (HUH???)

I can believe that!

HUH? THEY DON'T?
NOT EVEN THINGS FROM THE FERRYMAN??


[But, what about his list of names and rules for name suggestions! His sticker?!]

Items from Ferryman-san are different. But if you just find something lying around, you probably won't be able to keep it.
spaghettimonster: (I HAVE ONLY GOOD FEELINGS ABOUT THIS.)

can't believe Nagito managed to hack the Ferryman's system for voice messages

PHEW!!!
BUT ALSO A SHAME.
HOW FLEETING OUR SCAVENGER HUNTS ULTIMATELY ARE...


[Then again, what are the winnings of such hunts but mementos, and what are mementos but memories made physical? When apparently part of the purpose of the Crossings is letting go of the lives they once lived, in favor of some future existence or nonexistence... Maybe the trinkets being left behind are a sort of practice.]

But it makes it easier to identify plot-critical items, since I don't think those ones disappear!

[Sometimes you just have to talk in video game terms.]

THAT'S TRUE...

[Yes, sometimes you just have to Myst your way through things. Interacting with the various details of your environment... Attempting to eat the things you find...]

WE SHOULD TEST THIS OUT!
TAKE STOCK OF OUR KNICK-KNACKS BEFORE CROSSING...
AND SEE WHAT WE STILL HAVE AFTER!


[After all, he's pretty sure nobody can cheat by using the memory of the comfort and safety of whatever little doodads they've gathered around the desert. And a few people already clearly mentioned having been in a cavern before this.]

Yes, you should make sure to do that. I hope everyone who's been here longer has thought to do that as well. [Surely they have? It seems obvious to Nagito, and if it's obvious to him, then nobody needs him reminding them of it. So, of course, he hasn't mentioned this to anyone before.]

NO TIME LIKE THE PRESENT TO ASK AROUND!
OR THE NEAR FUTURE, LIKE JUST BEFORE THE CROSSING.


[That way, even if they hadn't been planning on taking stock - or even of trying to take things along - they can be subtly nudged to the idea of doing so.]

I suppose it wouldn't hurt for you to remind people, in case they did forget.[This is the skeleton's job now.]
spaghettimonster: (SO COOL)

CONSIDER IT DONE!!
(ADDING IT TO MY TO-DO LIST, THAT IS.)
