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.

AND I WILL PROTECT YOU! Because we're a group and that comes as part of the deal!
We should give us a team name, maybe? The... stayers? That sounds awful.

Huh. The name is Basil and he's just a bit taller than Sunny. Blonde hair, blue eyes, the voice sounds... very soft? Yeah, he's very soft spoken and it's a very sweet tone, too. I'm not sure how you describe a voice exactly, the one with fancy words is Sunny, but I guess he often sounds hesitant? There's occasionally a bit of stutter, too?

I don't really have much to hide. I mean, I am the one who DID try to make a memory sharing party in the desert... but not many joined. Wanna give it another try?

I appreciate that and I trust you to have my back then. Although I ask that you prioritize your own safety if things get too dangerous.
How about the Rearguard?

Any details will be helpful so we know what to listen for in the mists. Visibility will likely be poor so the chance of getting lost will be high. Therefore it will help if we know which voices to listen for, both those in the group and the person you plan to look for. Do you know how to use a sling? It could be useful for creating distractions.

I'll admit I've never crossed without the Ferryman's protection before so my advice is limited to my own observations and life experiences. Is there any information you can add?

I must have missed that. I believe it is worth trying again.

An important motto I remember from home is 'no man left behind'. I think it's just three of us who will stay behind? So it's teamwork, no 'you have priority.'. We'll cover each other's weaknesses and that's cool, isn't it?
OH! Oh that sounds cool. We are the Rearguard!

I am... aware. I don't know. Maybe you can tell me what I should look for in your case? Maybe I can try to doodle... what Basil looks like? Or ask Sunny or Mari to do that for me? I'm not exactly good with pen and paper. And I'm not sure but I'm good at skipping rocks over the water and good at tossing stuff?

Mh. Well, I don't really have much to say beside:
1) Don't trust you're safe. It's like the wraiths know where you are even if you're not in line of sight. If someone 'spotted' you during your previous stay, be on edge even more, I had one that was a legit stalker.
2) Things will get really scary and get really scary FAST.
3) IDK if it was just me but it may be hard to even spot the others and the ferryman if you're not crossing with a tool. I wanted to keep an eye on my friends from a distance and I just. couldn't see them anymore? May have been me trying to rush around to avoid wounds.
4) you have no control over what you lose. Current theory is wounds = memory loss. I got hurt pretty badly and I may have lost a big memory. Being around my buddies kind of confirmed that by this point.

RIGHT? I'd be down. Last time I tried was in the desert but IF you want to talk memories I'm game.
