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.

He wasn’t sure why. Why did Kel need this sort of validation, from Sunny of all people? But it made sense, he guessed - the only people that knew Hero were the three of them, and Mari’s memories were outdated.]
Y-yeah… [Was his answer but… Sunny really couldn’t tell. Kel and Hero had still seemed close, opting to sleep in the same space during their impromptu sleepover the last night at Sunny’s house. They had joked and talked and laughed together. That… meant you were close, right?]

Someone he was close with... and now he's just gone from his memory. Was it a... close friend? A boyfriend maybe? Nah, he wouldn't date someone much older, but Mari and Sunny seem sure he's at least a bit close to him, right? At least he's almost positive he won't have to add 'forgetting about my boyfriend' to the list of things he already did since death.]
Such a close bond, right? [Hero. Hero... nope, not a single bell ringing in his head. He couldn't... he didn't want to forget people that were important to him. He wasn't ready for that. Ah, what if Sunny or Mari-] Hey, huh... whatever happens, promise me you'll stick with the Ferryman and not do the stupid thing I did by staying behind, 'kay?
[At least that gave some control over which memory people lost, there.]
Now, why don't we talk about happier things? Like, found anything cool around the place? I only got some Clem, that fake currency from that fish based game. What was it again? I can't even remember the game, just that I sucked at it.

[But then Kel is making a request and Sunny’s previous train of thought can’t quite keep up.]
A-ah… [He stutters, if only because he doesn’t know what to say. The Ferryman had been kind and kept everyone safe… so sticking with them was probably best, right? Especially if Kel thought so.] O-ok…
[A pause, and then Sunny pokes Kel’s shirt.] You… too…? [No more running off. Not that Sunny could stop Kel even if he tried.]
[Kel’s findings have Sunny perking up. He pulls something else from the backpack he’s carrying - another Captain Spaceboy volume, this one set conspicuously in a desert.] Found… another…!
