As much as I am loathe to admit it, we will have to move on from what small bits of safety and comfort this place has brought us. I do believe we should discuss our plans for the coming crossing openly. Consider this a place to drop your thoughts on the idea. Might as well start planning earlier rather than later.

Unless you have a good reason to I strongly suggest that you do not take the crossing alone. There is safety in numbers.

I would like to also get a head count of who all is with us if possible. I have heard about some of us going missing and I find this rather disturbing so I find it pertinent to double check.

The floor is open.

I think it would be for the best if someone who has gone without Ferryman-san emphasize the dangers of such a thing for anyone who might show up late and not understand what that method of travel entails. Multiple perspectives would be good as well!

[Not repeating the Yashiro situation would be good.]

not them agreeing

[marblenest]

I understand. I'll do what I can.

Though you could have just asked me to do so.

[blindluck]

I wouldn't want to be presumptuous about what anyone was willing to do!

Hmmm…

In that case, last time without the Ferryman, there were:

- angry storms
- flash flooding
- cranky animals
- rockslides

In that order, I think! But I don’t think anyone really got hurt, so it wasn’t as bad as people were making it out to be. Of course, the wraiths were there too, but the most I saw was them watching us~

[Hanako doesn’t quite remember his own tumble and bump on the head, so it’s perfectly fine, see!]

[blindluck]

I'm pretty sure all of you got hurt, actually. Even if it's small, it counts for the Crossing, you know!

[Nagito did indeed count their injuries when the two groups rejoined like the weirdo he is.]

[A familiar scroll of handwriting might unfurl on Nagito’s device, alongside a comically drawn question mark.]

Do you think other people might show up late?

[It was odd - Sunny felt like he hadn’t seen anyone new for a long time. Except for the mist ghosts, and those were people he knew.]

[blindluck]

It's better to prepare for the possibility than to be caught off-guard!

Safety is in numbers and I agree but I also think we're losing out on clues if no one stays behind. I'm not good at planning, though.

I'm going to check Sunny and Mari. That's three of us anyway. As for the missing people, do we perhaps know anything they had in common? Yashiro was very nice and warm, Makoto seemed to be the same even if I barely saw him around...

[OH, how his view will change istantly as soon as he relizes Mari went missing too.]

[marblenest]

As someone who has stayed behind everytime it's too much of a risk and has never played to our advantage.

[ Which he hates admitting, admitting his own failures, but he's doing it. ]

I don't know if personality traits count as things in common. Usually we're looking at things like gender, age, connections to each other, but all of those leads are meaningless as Yashiro and Makoto have nothing in common except for that we all knew each other. Which. That is expected in a place like this.

I’m curious what sorts of clues you might be thinking. During the last Crossing, there really wasn’t much aside from the danger… oh, and that wraith watching us!

[Hanako isn’t one to dissuade Kel from his course; he’s pretty sure the older boy wouldn’t really listen. Seeing Yashiro’s name has him quiet as he contemplates how to answer.]

It does seem like they had some similar personality traits, didn’t it? Yashiro… she’s naive, clumsy, and hopeful, but… those can be strengths too. Especially in comparison.

[Sunny, as always, might be a bit predictable.]

Going with Ferryman.

[Unless something really, really rocks this boat.]

[marblenest]

I am glad you are. Thank you for telling us, Sunny.

[knockingatthedoor]

That's our boy! Stay safe there no matter what, okay?

I want to get in on this combo too

[blindluck]

That's for the best, I think.

I’m not entirely decided yet… but I might be heading with you this time.

[Partly because he tried to sell a memory to the Ferryman in order to find Yashiro. Also dependent on if Yashiro would show up and make her own choices before the Crossing.

Either way, he’s must more straightforward than normal.]

[marblenest]

You know the dangers of staying behind first hand. I don't feel the need to lecture you.

HAVE WE CHECKED THE MISSING PEOPLES' RESIDENCES?
I MISPLACED MY PHONE WHEN I MISPLACED MY ME, BUT I WASN'T COMPLETELY MISSING.

AS FOR THE CROSSING...
I HAVEN'T DECIDED YET!
TRAVELING THROUGH HAZARDS WITHOUT ANY MAGIC AT ALL SEEMS A BIT ALARMING,
BUT NONE OF YOU SEEM LASTINGLY INJURED.

[marblenest]

I'm not entirely sure. Though if Makoto appeared once again I'm certain Nagito would have informed us about it. Perhaps some house calls are in order.

I do hate to inform you of this, but the injury to my leg happened after I was brought to this place, not before. I can understand how you didn't know but I also can assure you that there is indeed great danger in staying behind.

[Handwritten]

[solitarynote]

With Ferryman is safer.

[Just because he has to put that out there. The Spicy One was nice, so Sunny didn’t want to see him hurt, even if bones seemed more sturdy than Sunny’s own weakened physique.]

This time… we’re in the communal hut. I haven’t seen them come back. [Sunny watches a lot so he’s pretty aware of the comings and goings of the Marsh’s residents. Those that had been missing in the desert seemed to catch up though…?]

I’ve watched for Yashiro to return, but she hasn’t huddled under her blankets or anything. Neither a hide nor hair left behind. I would know!

[He didn’t need sleep before, he doesn’t need it still, so a lot all of his waking moments were dedicated to watching if Yashiro would pop back up suddenly, as she seemed wont to do.]

A lot of the stuff during last Crossing was really physical! Just an fyi, I like you as my second in command, but we don’t really offer hazard pay~

I dunno, man. I have been wandering the entire time, between swamp and other things, and I saw no traces of everyone.

You should go with others.
Injuries heal when you reach your destination
But it takes memories from you AND
you don't get to choose

Also I've been with the ferryman once and once without
When I got hurt it was pretty gross how my wounds
just kind of stitched back together.

I plan to cross without the ferryman's protection this time. I'm aware of the dangers and I don't wish for anyone to join me for my sake. I've accepted the possible consequences but there are certain things I would like to investigate.

If anyone else is planning on taking the dangerous path I agree that there's safety in numbers, and being prepared. I suspect the mist will be a significant obstacle this time. All the more reason to stick together. However we might be able to use the mist to our advantage as well to hide from any potential dangers. For those who have crossed on their own before, what kind of senses did the wraiths and animals seem to have? Do they rely on sight? Hearing? Or did they seem naturally drawn to you?

There is also the potential threat of the ghosts in the mist that I've heard about. In which case it will be imperative to know who all is planning to cross on their own so we don't end up following a phantom by mistake.

If we can learn how to control them the mobile huts could provide shelter throughout the journey. However there is the risk that that the same thing that makes the wraiths, and I assume the animals from last time, turn hostile would turn them against us, so it might not be worth it.

I also recommend sharing any precious memories you don't want to lose with someone else.

[marblenest]

I will admit, I did not predict this. I trust you to be of sound mind but I do want to ask what you wish to investigate.

[ He has. A lot more questions than that. And answers too. But Dankovsky wants to start first, with this, the most important question. Because he too knows what it's like to feel like the investigation is more important than your own well being. ]

[Sunny is worried. Soo Won is planning on going by himself, and that sounds dangerous. Sunny knows it’s dangerous, from the amount of people that have went without the Ferryman and ended up injured.]

Be careful. [There wasn’t anything he could say to dissuade the merchant from his course, right? Sunny wasn’t strong-willed like that.] It would be nice if the huts helped. Maybe we can make friends before.

You are? I will be with you then.
The ghosts in the mist are the main reason I want to stay
Someone very dear to me is showing up all the time and
my heart cannot just dismiss it.

I think Mari and Sunny have me covered for important memories...
Most of them, anyway. There are a few people they don't know much about but
Maybe I can tell them about... those? And they can
tell me about their stuff, I think.

I'm not worried.
