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.

[Nagito smiles wryly--and more genuinely than he often does, honestly. He knows who Frieda is talking about, of course:] As much as I would love to monopolize Naegi-sama's time, I really am at least attempting to be less selfish. I'm trying to keep my distance myself, but if she approaches me on her own--

[He sighs.]

But I suppose I shouldn't be surprised she does that, either. But if you'd be willing to try to stop her from doing that during Crossings, I'd be grateful.

[Frieda's expression softens into a smile.]

...

I wouldn't be surprised if she did, either. She and Makoto are alike.

[It's a strange feeling to simultaneously be so undeserving of good people's care, effort, and affection, yet be unable to reject it, perhaps because their kindness makes her feel almost like she is a worthwhile human being. Is that how Nagito feels?]

[blindluck]

I can't decide if it's hopeful to have two such people here. Perhaps for us, but surely it would be better if they were alive. [Do the dead need their hope?] And that they keep fussing over someone like me...

[That's definitely not the most efficient use of their time.]

[urtitan]

It's unfair, isn't it? They should still be alive.

[She exhales, trying to let go of that tinge of bitterness. The sooner they accept that which they cannot change, the less energy they'll needlessly waste.]

But we won't be able to stop them from fussing, so let's try to count our blessings and be grateful.

[What else can they do? Seeing how her business with Nagito is concluded - different of a turn as it took from what she had prepared herself for -, she looks back in the direction they came from.]

Let's head back to the camp.

[The last thing they need is for the others - particularly those two saints - to get worried for them.]
