[ 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! ]

press f5 to pay respects

you can if you want but you seem smart enough to realize already
no matter what you figure out there's still going to be somebody aiming for a whole new level of stupid

[kungfuey]

What hatch?

[ She is the least sensitive person in the world to how other people might be feeling about all this. ]

[starforce]

[hm, new information. interesting information.

she considers for a moment before typing back.]

That IS convenient.

They must want our trust really badly if they're trying this hard to sell this.

["why?" and "what happens next?" are questions she's not half-sure she wants answered.]

[kungfuey]

You'd really rather cease to exist?

[ There's a bit of a delay between messages this time before she finally adds. ]

What if there were a chance you could go back. All the way back?

[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.

[ultimatums]

You're sure no one else was around?

@dysmas :// text

[chardismastic]

called it

[ultimatums]

Alright, that's different
But is that really an option at this point?
That reset shit they were talking about by the boat didn't sound all that friendly

@Grandmaster

[paletteswap]

I take it you've met him.

@dysmas :// voice

[chardismastic]

[ cue a slightly annoyed sigh ] Just include him in your next round of eleisons. You do plenty of those already.

[chardismastic]

briefly but it was enough

wait 1/2

[fogey]

You're the second person to tell me that.

[ WEARILY. both his name and his apparently legendary clumsiness. ]

Another who knew him said the same thing. First person to reply here. Maybe you should coordinate.

[fogey]

I've also heard he might come back, so there's that

[voktys]

I cannot perform the rites without breathing fire into his lungs, so unless you are hiding his body beneath your dedicated heathen speeches, your commentary is not so useful.

[fogey]

[ jesus ]

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

[kungfuey]

Why wouldn't it be? I already told you the dead don't always stay dead.

[ Granted, that was Vampires but she'd seen a lot more than that. ]

othing good ever came from a place that has death as an entry requirement.

[primordialerebus]

The one in the church? It's locked from the inside and I think there's a keypad on the other side. I couldn't guess the combination though.

[ In her maelstrom of emotions, she really isn't thinking that this isn't information a regular person would just be able to find out on their own. ]

[ultimatums]

Just checking, no need to get pissy about it
There's all sorts of weirdos around here, maybe someone magicked him away

@Grandmaster

[paletteswap]

[Oh. He scrolls up to see because he hadn't been reading other peoples messages. That seemed rude.]

He can come back? Do we need to do anything to facilitate that?

@Nightshade

[primordialerebus]

Hey can you stop being a dick.

@drake

[nonscriptum]

[ Well, that didn't take long. ]

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

[kungfuey]

What makes you think there's a combination lock?

[ Oh she picked up on that other part too but she's not pressing that one yet. ]

[chardismastic]

[ um

rafe would ask if she meant actual fire into actual lungs but. he's already met the woman — she doesn't seem the metaphor type. ]

...Wow. Memorials must be something back home.

@Nightshade

[primordialerebus]

^^^^^^^^^

[paletteswap]

He had good ideas. He'll be missed.
