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

[marblenest]

You could. Ask me to do it? And I could say yes or no?

[blindluck]

I got your reply regardless, didn't I? [So there is no need to be so direct.]

[marblenest]

For next time, then?

[blindluck]

I'll keep it in mind!

[He will absolutely still use some more convoluted method next time.]

its a low blow but

[marblenest]

I do hope you will. We are both adults and should be able speak candidly to each other.

[blindluck]

Of course! I think we're both pretty good at that!

[He's actually not being snarky he is just observing a Very True Fact about their typical conversations.]

[marblenest]

[ Dankovsky sort of meant his own comment as a snarky remark but he's glad to have seen it being taken sincerely. ]

Good.

What are your own personal plans for the crossing, Nagito?

[blindluck]

It depends on the kind of memory we'll have to give up, but I'll probably be going with Ferryman-san as usual.

[But there are some memories he won't give up willingly, so it's always just probably.]

Will you be taking the other route again?

[marblenest]

I haven't quite made up my mind yet.

[ The idea of giving up a memory is terrifying, but after his last two crossings, he feels really done and fed up with taking the hard route. It may depend on what everyone else does. If someone like Hanako ends up staying behind, well, Dankovsky probably will too... begrudgingly but still. With this thought in mind, he hastily adds:]

It'll depend on who chooses to stay behind.

[blindluck]

I assume if Hanako-kun goes that way you will as well? Perhaps you'll do better this time, if so.

[He's noticed that Dankovsky tends to keep an eye on the children.]

[marblenest]

[ It's not as if Dankovsky's tried to hide his treatment towards the children, but being read so easily by Nagito kind of annoys him. ]

Indeed. I was thinking along the lines of something like that.

[blindluck]

I hope you attempt your experiment again, in that case! Maybe you'll get it right this time.

[marblenest]

No thanks. I'd rather not get my hopes up again.
