[ 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! ]

[all she hears in her head when she reads this is yon-rogg — yon-rogg and his six years' worth of condescensions. the fingers of her left hand reflexively curl into a fist, and she has half a mind to blast her tablet to hell right here and now.

she doesn't, though, instead finding it in her to inhale a long breath and flatten her hand back out.]

Too scared of the photon blast? Don't worry, you'll live. Or... not die again. Or whatever.

[this is about the only response she's going to dignify that long-ass lecture with, but at the last second, she adds:]

I mean, correct me if I'm wrong, but I feel like that's the read I'm getting here.

don't be lmao

[Meanwhile, Carol's aggression only reminds him of how things can so easily spiral out of control. All it takes is one loose thread and the whole thing comes unraveled. It's happened before. It'll probably happen again.]

Are you trying to bait me into fighting you?
You have seen me, right?
I'm not above admitting that I'm not exactly the warlike sort.
Why would I ever agree to this?

[starforce]

Who said anything about fighting? I'm just offering a demonstration.

[a more careful person would have ceased and desisted by now. that person is not carol.]

[fogey]

He has a point, you know.

[ HE SCRAWNY

also dw this is gonna be his only contribution here, dragging will ]

[donttalktome]

Yes, a violent demonstration.
Why would I willingly sign up for that?
I'm the smart one, remember?
