[ 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! ]

How clumsy is clumsy?

So should we bother burying this poor son of a bitch?
Does he mean that it's the same body and we should put it in the church and just wait for him to wake up? Or is it that if we leave him where laid his head there'll be another one of him in the church and his body still out there?

1/2

[chardismastic]

that's where he said he was going next when i saw him in the records room

[primordialerebus]

Oh... I guess that's possible. And they just show up in the church. Maybe that's what the hatch is for?

[ She really hopes it is. He seems... seemed? nice enough. And dying through an accident like that is just horrible. ]

[fogey]

[ well. it's answer enough. he bites off a swear, then -- teleports to the church. probably makes it there before mary by virtue of cheating, and waits, tablet and lantern in hand. ]

[fogey]

No. That disappeared, same as he did. Not a single shard of glass left behind.

[voktys]

I would rather have it be wings.

⟪ it isn't an attempt at a joke, not really. ⟫

And so little of this place is explored yet. We have no way of finding the body.

[necromantiae]

Doesn't surprise me though. Not with the varied nature of this place. Teleportation is probably old hat for some people around here.

Did you have a look for the body after it had disappeared?

[chardismastic]

tripped over his own feet more than once and banged his head on the door coming and going on relatively well-lit level manmade ground

on a rocky beach in the dark? size i saw? not like it'd take more than that going face first on that lantern

[kungfuey]

You have given this way too much thought Cowboy.

[ His name is a bit of a giveaway. ]

Hard to have a burial without a body. It disappeared apparently.

[ultimatums]

Well that answers that
I don't like any of this shit one bit

action forever now in this network thread

[withsadness]

[It's not terribly long of a wait, at least, though Mary might have nearly forgotten her lantern in her haste. When push comes to shove, she has all the speed you'd expect from a child her size, and she comes bursting in through the doors without care or consideration for what kind of noise it makes. Mary stumbles to a stop when she sees Five, and for a long several seconds she just stares at him with her lips shut into a tight frown.

But then, naturally, she gets that look on her face: the face of a child who is on the verge of tears.]

He told me. He said he'd be just fine. It wasn't a promise, but he still said!

1/idk man let's go

[fogey]

That's good to know.

[fogey]

[ but then

reads that next part ]

[fogey]

[ fucking ]

[kungfuey]

Kinda disappointed it took you that long.
As opposed to being here in the first place?

[fogey]

[ so it's entirely possible the idiot tripped

and fell

and died

is what he's getting here. ]

8/8 i'm sorry for your inbox

[fogey]

[ DRAGS HANDS DOWN HIS FACE ]

Apparently, we need to look into idiot-proofing our lanterns.

[ultimatums]

The longer I'm here the more I find to dislike
If I die around here I don't want my body disappearing into the ether and reappearing in the church

[kungfuey]

See now that's interesting.

[ She is completely oblivious to how wrong everything she writes sounds. ]

What about the body? Any blood or obvious signs of injury?

[kungfuey]

Better strap in. I figure we're just scratching the surface.
Would you rather stay dead?

[ultimatums]

Honestly? Yeah
If I'm dead I'd rather just be dead
