WHO: The Ferryman, Sunny, and Nagito
WHAT: Questin' & Investigatin'
WHERE: On the bank of The River
WHEN: After the next Crossing Toll is revealed
WARNINGS Claustrophobia, being buried alive, mental & physical pain, more as noted

[The Ferryman is as they ever are: watching The River with preternatural stillness, the weight of The Lantern barely swaying in the winds that sweep across the flat landscape. There is no movement in their facial expression or body language, but restlessness hangs over them all the same. Worry. Unease.

They are waiting. Before them are two rectangular holes cut from The River: through the topmost layer of salt, and into the mud below. There's no way around it; they look like shallow graves.

When their two volunteers arrive, before any preamble begins, The Ferryman reminds them:]


If you decide you want to leave, you can. At any time.

[Sunny took a few moments to consider that. It was true - even if Makoto would be brave and smile through something like this, Sunny didn’t want him to have to go through anything bad again.

Kel too.

So…]


It’s better… we do it… We can.

[Maybe that would be considered mildly insulting to Nagito. Maybe it was a dig against Sunny himself. But… Sunny had been through horrors already. And he needed to help.

In some strange, roundabout way, Nagito’s words had given Sunny courage.]

Exactly! So let's get it done, okay? [Nagito is on the same page here, for better or worse when it comes to their respective levels of self-esteem. He's also pleased he actually said something that worked instead of making people look at him with varying levels of distrust and alarm.]

I think this can wrap up the Before portion! ^^

[Sunny nods, actually turning towards the mud pit with a… determined(?) expression on his face.]
