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.

[Mari's expression brightened and she excitedly took Frieda's hands in her own.]

Right! See I knew you'd understand! I just didn't want anyone to worry. He seems so lonely by himself sometimes and the way he talks about himself... Makoto might be able to help with it but I want him to know that there are others he can lean on.

[Mari smiled.]

Thanks... I feel better about this all after talking with you.

[That reaction positively surprised Frieda. For her to really have helped take a weight off Mari by simply listening and offering what, to her, seemed like the most sensible course of action...

"I knew you'd understand" - hearing that heartened her more than anything else. In a way, it seemed like the metaphorical frayed thread between them, damaged by her harsh treatment of the other girl during the Crossing (much as she knew that it was only her who held it against herself), was now mended, and she whole-heartedly gave Mari's hands a squeeze in return.]


I'm really glad. Thank you, too, for confiding in me. It's important that we're all there for each other.

[Whether she'd indeed be able to get through to Nagito, that'd be another story... but it wouldn't be for a lack of trying!]
