Post Crossing Meeting
WHO: Kel and anyone who wants to discuss The Crossing
WHAT: Second 'Town Meeting'
WHERE: Oasis
WHEN: A bit after the crossing, when everyone has time to calm down and breathe.
WARNINGS Talks of death, definitely, mention of blood and wounds, other CWs to be added.
[Kel has seen people scatter around and, despite still acting like a foolish fool around Mari and Sunny... he is doing his best to try to coordinate things as he can. Armed with a set bright of pink pencils, definitely merchandise of the Sweetheart brand from his place, he prepared a whole wall in one of the shelters to work as a rough chalkboard and, written on it, there are his few observations from staying behind.
- Nothing beside the wraiths did show up. What are we running from?
- Ferryman honest or not?
- When you don't pay the tool, you may still lose memories
- Our bodies can get hurt as if we're still alive.
- Discussion About Crossing from both sides?
It's not much but try to get stuff to appear properly on a blank wall when all you have is a bunch of pencils that don't even write that well. He's trying, though, he really is. A message is sent out to everyone after he's done gathering enough pillows for everyone to sit in, inviting people to come and share experiences, and... that's all. He did, at least, prepare water for everyone to drink.... it's somethin, right?
"Why, thank you for coming! Take a seat, mingle and let's get down to businesses!"
OOC: This is a mingle thread. Feel free to interact with each other and have discussions about things. The 'chalkboard' will be updated if anything is brought up to Kel's attention, I'll leave an open post for that.

At least it wasn’t an insult (that wink or nickname aside). Just someone who looked thirteen calling someone older than them ‘boy.’ Totally normal.
He takes a moment of silence, sorting through his thoughts before settling on a response.]
Hmmm? We know what happened though - we all died~ [This said extremely casually, though for Hanako, that really was the case. He wasn’t a stranger to death.] Though I do agree… seems like there’s more going on under the surface here.
[He does perk up a bit - sorry for the extra energy, Yashiro - when Kel introduces himself.] Ah, that’s right! I just arrived a bit ago. I’m Hanako, most often known as ‘Hanako-San of the Toilet.’
[Fishing for recognition maybe? He does accept the water, if only he doesn’t have to leave the spot where he’s comfortably sitting, and if only for Yashiro’s sake. He didn’t get thirsty, and while water wasn’t needed, she still seemed like she wanted it every so often.]

As for the 'nickname', Kel didn't speak a single word of Japanese. Well, maybe a couple, but just the ones he knew from common sources like 'ramen' and 'sake'. There was also a kind of green tea he heard about but he couldn't remember said word at the moment. Ma... chan?]
Well, yeah, we're dead but... something feels off, you know? [He in part envied the other, being so casual about it- Kel still had to wrap his head around the incident that took him there.] And since it feels like we're in some kind of danger, it's better to put our heads to work together, right?
[A blink follows, then. Another one, too. Hanakosan of... what?]
What.... an unique name.
[It didn't seem to bother him but... why 'of the toilet'? Did he die sittong on one or what?]
‘Did he die sitting on one’ has me ROFL XD
[He’s teasing, of course. Kel’s comment on his name certainly reveals that the boy didn’t know about the particular legend Hanako was tied to. Interesting. Then again, some people had and hadn’t heard of it. This was just the most openly honest unsureness he had encountered!]
