Post Crossing Meeting

[knockingatthedoor]

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.

You saw an intelligent wraith?

[It was both a hopeful thought, but a troublesome one as well for the next crossing. The feral wraiths caused enough trouble. One that could think for itself would be a more dangerous threat.]

When it was observing you how did they seem?

[callsignhornet]

It seemed smart. Like it was assessing me.

[Allynbee shrugged a little, shaking her head. It felt like she was dealing with the Thorian or the Rachni Queen again - encountering something intelligent but inhuman. It wasn't unsettling, exactly, but she didn't like it much at all.]

I've dealt with similar things, but I can't say I'm a fan.

[protectorofkouka]

[Soo Won hadn't encountered anything like Allynbee had, but he could still recognize the potential danger something like that would pose. He considered Allynbee's words with a small hum, a hint of concern in his voice.]

That complicates things.

[He was quiet as he went through several scenarios in his head.]

Do you think you would recognize them if you saw it again?

[If they could somehow communicate with it before it turned hostile during the next crossing maybe they could bypass the threat completely. Not to mention he was curious to meet this wraith regardless.]

[callsignhornet]

Absolutely.

[Allynbee gives a quick, quiet sigh. Her mind goes to Mordin, considering how problematic dealing with the Smart Wraith during an active Crossing might be.]

I'm not sure if we'll be able to find it in time.

[protectorofkouka]

[Soo Won agreed with a contemplative hum.]

Unfortunately the desert is more difficult to navigate than the caverns so tracking it down won't be easy but it's too much of a risk to leave it alone.

[callsignhornet]

I definitely agree with you there.

[She scans the room, looking at everyone assembled.]

I think we should table this for now and check and see what info everyone has shared. If you find any leads, reach out. I'll do the same.

[protectorofkouka]

[Soo Won agreed with a small nod.]

I will. In the meantime it's best that we keep our concerns about the wraith to ourselves for now. Should we fail to find any leads then we can inform the others before the next crossing.
