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.

It's not really rocket science, man... I remember dying. Yes, this doesn't match any of my religious beliefs, but I couldn't possibly survive what killed me and another person. Plus, I do tend to get very cold until I stop thinking 'wait, my skin should be warm'.

[There's a blink, there. It takes Kel a bit to type his reoply on the brick of a device he got.]

Why? I'm no one for and I'm the fast one. I promise I will be fine. I just wish I had some clues on what to investigate.

[ He's sighing at his book. Almost unsure of what to write. Did everyone but him remember dying so clearly? To him, it was a blur, he remembers a gunshot, falling over, someone apologizing and running away, and then- ]

Because I cannot continue to allow the ones who should be protected to take on all the burden.

[ It's because you're a child, Kel. He's treating you like you're a child. ]

[Kel wishes he didn't- but it's something he can't get out of his mind instead.]

Sunny and Mari should be protected. I don't need that, really.

[He doesn't deserve that after failing to protect Sunny to begin with. He may have died as well but- between not remembering why he thinks he isn't '''good enough''' in so many ways (thanks, family) and his guilt? Kel isn't being too kind to himself.]

Maybe you could keep an eye on them for me? I know I am asking this to everyone, but they mean everything to me.

[marblenest]

Of course I will, but, you know, those two people would want you to be safe as well. You deserve the same amount of care.

[ Hypocritical, that it's Dankovsky being the one to write this, but damnit Kel he's not just going to let you talk about yourself like that. ]

I am aware but...

[There's a little voice in his head saying 'you are not as good as-' and it's so similar to his parents' that Kel for a moment has to push it back.]

I am a bit rougher around the edges than them. I will be fine and I promise I don't need protection. An ally when we'll eventually reach our 'time to run for our dear life' time of the crossing though...
