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 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. ]

I've been planning to cross without the ferryman for some time. Initially I planned to wait until I was confident I could make the journey safely but the longer I wait for the ideal conditions to cross, the less memories I'll have to protect the ones I don't want to lose. It's a risky move I'll admit, which is why I won't ask anyone else to join me. I would rather take that risk then anyone else.

[Soo Won had always put his own well being second to everyone else's. It was a bad habit that followed him into death.]

I had a rather intriguing encounter in the desert that has led me to believe that there may be more to the crossing than the ferryman's option. It's too soon to tell if I can trust the source of this information yet. However the fact that I somehow managed to get to the marsh seemingly unscathed without paying a toll does lend some credibility to the possibility, enough to look into it further.

To me it seems as if every crossing has gotten more difficult as time goes on.

[ He does take note of the fact that Soo Won was able to do what he wasn't. That's a big deal. ]

I was correct then. If we can manage to cross without the ferryman and without injury we do keep all our memories. I'll be eager to see what else you find out on your journey.

the snail returns!

That's one thing that concerns me and all the more reason to investigate other options early on before it's too dangerous to do so.

[It felt like they were being forced into one path by an unseen hand, a common strategy in battle but Soo Won didn't like being on the receiving end of it.]

That's what I would like to confirm for myself. The circumstances of my last crossing are unclear. I don't remember making the crossing and according to others I was gone for awhile so there might be other factors that allowed me to return unscathed. We need to be sure before acting recklessly on a hopeful assumption.
