[ well, there's no way to say it, except to say it, so: ]

One of us died today. Big guy, blond hair. I don't know his name. I found his body.

[ that's his schtick, isn't it? finding bodies. ]

What I do know is that he fell on some rocks near the beach. Looks like an accident, no foul play. The fall shouldn't have killed him.

[ could've, if the bastard really were that unlucky, but it's unlikely. besides: ]

But it did break his lantern. Seems like Winters was telling the truth about that after all. Before anyone asks:

1) No, I didn't see it happen.
2) Yes, I checked for a pulse.
3) No, I didn't do it.

[ juST COVERING HIS BASES THERE ]

One more thing. I had to step away to get my tablet. When I came back, both he and his lantern were gone. No one else was here, I'm positive. They just vanished into thin air.

[ ooc | so as of today, rosinante (callada) is dead :C feel free to threadjack in this post and use it for discussion or whatever! ]

Was he dressed in a strange, feathered cloak of sorts?

[ her voice is warm, though she sounds like a woman who already knows the answer, really. she's seen the tall, friendly fool tumble down once already. ]

[fogey]

You knew him?

[ answer enough ]

[necromantiae]

Well, that's impressive. I didn't even know someone could die twice.

( most of the bodies that he'd seen were dead and gone permanently. unless you were his auntie. )

Morticians don't tend to get out to bodies that fast. We're good but not that good. Either he was playing dead very well or something else took him.

[fogey]

My money's on something else. But I didn't see or hear anyone else around, and I wasn't gone for long either

@carol

[starforce]

You know that "No, I didn't do it" is exactly the kind of thing that someone who actually did it would say, right?

[but seriously, this is

disturbing af]

[fogey]

Obviously. But someone would've asked sooner or later; might as well get that out of the way

@Nightshade

[primordialerebus]

^^^^^^^^^

@helsing

[kungfuey]

Someone should keep an eye on the church then

[fogey]

How's that?

[ why... ]

@parker

[webshoots]

How long did it look like the body was there?

[fogey]

Few minutes, tops. No longer

@Nightshade

[ She knows it’s a blasé comment, but what is one supposed to say upon finding out you can fucking die in the land of the afterlife!? She wipes away the welling up tears with a blanket, pushing back the welling panic to scroll up to the other comments. Someone has to know what’s happening… right? And at least she’ll get notifications as more people chime in now. ]

[ sadly five hails from a land of no computers, so he probably has no idea what this meme is..... SEEMS LIKE A TYPO??? so he sees it, but doesn't reply, figuring that she can come back with a full message if she has something to say ]

[The description Five gave wasn't enough to go on, but with confirmation in the comments, Mary feels like something heavy and dreadful is pressing down inside of her head.]

He's dead? My Rosi is dead?

i kNEW THIS WAS COMING, SCREAMS

[fogey]

[ he speaks after a beat, soft. ]

Mary, where are you?

[ fucking hell. ]

[chardismastic]

funky makeup right? he'd said he was out to check the lighthouse in spite of hearing it was an apparent death trap

then again given what i saw he was also clumsy enough that he might've just tripped and fallen on his own lantern so

either or

1/2

[fogey]

He was looking into the lighthouse?

[fogey]

[ .... ]

How clumsy is clumsy?

[paletteswap]

Rosinante.

That's unfortunate but not surprising. Someone should have been accompanying him at all times for how often he dropped his lantern. Or fell over it.

When we find what's been done with the body we should honor him somehow.

@dysmas :// text

[chardismastic]

called it

@raylan

[ultimatums]

You're sure no one else was around?

[fogey]

[ jesus ]

Yeah, I must've just missed someone capable of grabbing a body without leaving footprints or making a sound.

@drake

[nonscriptum]

[ Well, that didn't take long. ]

...yeah, i wouldn't worry, he's probably coming back

[fogey]

So I've heard. Would've been nice to know before I made the announcement

[ HE'S TIRED ]

@fuckthis

[evocation]

that sucks
but nate's right, he's probably coming back
btw i used identify on my lantern earlier and it was like using it on myself
the lantern definitely isn't magic, but it's like
an extension of us somehow

@Nightshade

[primordialerebus]

Did you all hear this from the Will guy?

And what?????

@rlutece

[originallutece]

Unfortunate.

Though at least that's one theory confirmed.

Are you so worried about vigilante justice that you felt the need to specify? Or has this happened before?

[fogey]

[ well like he's an assassin so. but also: ]

Being the sole witness is suspicious. It'd be a reasonable question, but not one I wanted to waste time on.

@cuttingedge

[knifecollecting]

Shit. The body really disappeared? How can you be sure no one else was around?

that is an A+ pun | 1/2

[fogey]

No, I just misplaced the body and decided to lie about it.

[ why are you like this, five. ]

@silent

[callada]

I am really sorry I put you through that. Thank you for finding me. I've woken up in the church. Nothing to worry about.

[fogey]

[ before he touches

literally any of that

or, you know, asks about rosinante's well-being ]

Tell me what happened first.

[ he stops himself from saying you owe it to me, but he sure thought it. ]
