[ 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! ]

A trusting captive is more likely to become a willing captive, and is also easier to deal with in general.
@dr
Don't flatter yourselves.
If I could be anywhere but here, dealing with you people, I'd die again just to make it happen.
What possible reason could we have for bringing you here?
And supposing we did have some harebrained scheme, why would we insist on suffering through it with you?
lmao SCREAM
what a package]
Oh, I don't know, the usual reasons. I'm powerful, you need that power for something you won't actually tell me about, blah blah blah.
Or it could be that I have a sense of humor, which is something that's CLEARLY lacking around here.
Take your pick.
(':
To be frank, I don't know a thing about you, nor do I care to.
I know nothing about your supposed "power", though I suspect it's more magical nonsense.
And people call me pretentious.
no subject
You, on the other hand, are not.
Do you really think anyone's going to buy that "I don't know a thing about you and I don't care" routine? Save it. We're all obviously here for a reason.
no subject
It's all coming back to me now.
It was just so impressive I had to bend the rules of time and space to see it for myself.
But alas, you've caught onto my grand scheme. I've no idea what I'll do now.
If we're here for a reason, I'd really like to know what it is.
Because I can't find a single common thread between myself and people like you.
no subject
Okay, fine. You want a demonstration? A photon blast to the face should do it.
Pick a place and I'll meet you there.
[did she just threaten him?
maybe so]
You're right about that last part, though, because "we" didn't include you. You're working for them. That puts you in a different category from the rest of us.
sorry this is a whole ass lecture
Who is "them"?
I didn't have to agree to help you people, you know.
I could just as well have said fuck it and holed up somewhere like a hermit.
A decision I regret not making more and more each day.
The only thing that separates me from you, aside from intellect and most likely over a thousand years of time, is that I've been here longer.
But really, ultimately, I don't actually care if you think I'm an evil mastermind or whatever it is you've convinced yourself of.
Believe whatever you want to believe.
But don't be an idiot. Don't discount the information of people who've done this before. And don't turn this whole place into some convoluted "us vs. them" situation.
That road leads nowhere good.
And don't threaten me. It's childish.
ghfdjsk i feel like i should be sorry
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
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?
