Day 184 Audio; @dreamsnhonor The Legacies We Leave Behind

[heroproceeding]

[ There's never good timing for something like this. And there probably never will be. Doesn't change the somber touch to his voice. But it's a lot steadier than it's been lately at least. Time to push back at those ugly feelings and do something. ]

Hey, it's me, Zack.

If you've been here a while, you know I've done this before. I know it's not something everyone might be keen on, but a friend of mine got me thinking. If someone wakes up that we know, we'll know exactly where they're at the moment they get in contact with us. At least if they're the same guy.

[ Because alternate... universes isn't brain breaking at all. Clearly. Zack clearly his throat. ]

A while back, we were at the police station and then we were at the chapel not long ago. Between the four of us, we managed to- you know. Get a record of everyone there... [ He pauses there. Maybe a bit too long. Maybe he'll just leave it at that. Then, there's another deep breath and he pushes forward again. ] Some of the photos are a little on the crooked side 'cause we were kinda racing the clock. Just made it back before lock down. The weather's been pretty bad for something like this.

Anyway... like before, any help would be appreciated.

[ There's the sound of fumbling as he makes to end the announcement. Only for there to be another long, silent pause. ]

Actually.. You know what? Let's make this space to make a public memorial for them. It might not be much.. but it's still something. So, if you wanna leave something for someone on here, I don't see why not. [ And maybe that's what some of them need. Something more positive out of this. Or maybe not. Who knows? But he's gonna try. ]



( ooc: HO'KAY.

Here is the EARTH deal, Snowhell, since this entry is a little extensive. Because there are just so many bodies this time around versus last time I put up a post like this with Zack [seriously, it was a 207% increase with fourteen vs. forty-three], instead of playing the game "Click all the links and suffer", I'm providing a link to the body locations chart. The chart is numbered now in every section and these numbers correspond with the numbers Zack has "linked".

So, for instance, if someone was going to identify Cissnei and she was in the chapel, Cissnei's linked photograph would be referenced as something along the lines of "Hey, Chapel 39 is Cissnei". Same deal with the police station. Just "Police 39". /o/ Eeeey, no one's brain has to implode from a SHIT TON of links.

Edit: Zack will have photographs from the Hospital up to Day 76, the Police Station up to Day 167, and the Chapel up to Day 175. In addition, Davesprite has also updated the Hospital photographs up to Day 172. Anyone that showed up in the morgues after those dates will not appear in the photographs. /o/ Sorry for the confusion! )

looks like you had the same idea i did
except way more organized
but youre in luck cause ive got photos
these are from the hospital
took them on 172

[The pictures are distorted as is the usual, but they're good enough for someone familiar to identity who's who. Daredevil's not among them since he died the same day he took the pictures/wasn't in the morgue yet.]

i have ones from the police station too but it looks youve got a more recent catalog
if terezi is the one at the police station though then vriska is the grey chick from the hospital
the two grey dudes have gotta be eridan and tavros but i dont know whos who between them
and this other one from the hospital is edward elric
which is kind of weird now that hes here alive again

[He'll send the respective photos as he points them out. 25 = Edward Elric, 34 = Vriska (he doesn't know her surname), with 27 from the hospital and 4 from the police station left for someone who can better identity Eridan and Tavros from one another.]

[heroproceeding]

whoa! I didn't know you were doing this too. but thanks man. I know the photos me and Kuns took from there are really outdated now. this really helps a lot! I'm gonna dig through them and see if I know anyone else you have on there. Kuns, Zell, or Jim might know them too.

vriska, eridan, and tavros. got it. we could probably figure out their last names through the obituaries. the administrator seems to know all of them.

I think that was the Ed we knew before. the one who's here now didn't wake up in a morgue and he didn't seem to remember any of us either.

[mrcreamsicles]

it wasnt a devoted thing
but my friend had someone she knew here who died and wanted to find where her body was so i took pictures to see if i could help
that and other people might want to know too
so im glad its got some use

this ed didnt even recognize the tablets so hes gotta be different
different how i dunno exactly
maybe weird time stuff
not my issue

[heroproceeding]

I see. fair enough. but yeah it should be really helpful especially with some of the things that happen when people wake back up. a few people have woken up blind. I know another couldn't feel anything either. so knowing where they are immediately to track them down would help keep them from panicking over things like that.

[ At least... at little bit. There's never any guarantee for things like that, but it's understandable. ]

I'm not sure about the time stuff. I mean if the person you knew from your current timeline came here and died then wouldn't the one from the future die too?

private;

[mrcreamsicles]

[Oh, man, time stuff. Davesprite slaps a filter on.]

not necessarily
youre treating time like the timeline is singular
and i know it doesnt work the same in every world but in my experience timelines can split and differ for any number of reasons
weve got multiple bodies of the same people here right
if you ask me thats evidence of them coming from different timelines
back in my world time used to be my whole thing so im familiar with this

[haillenarte]

[francel's in no mood for numbers, but he looks through davesprite's photos and sends one back — hospital 26.]

The man here pictured is Lord Emmanellain de Fortemps.
He was
someone i knew.

He was a good man.

[heroproceeding]

sounds like he was a good friend of yours. I'm sorry you lost him.

thanks for letting us know.

[ He makes sure to put in that full name to the list he's archiving. It seems important. ]

[haillenarte]

you are quite welcome.
it was already easier for me than some others.

@ASolomons; text

[devoutish]

[He sends back one picture.]

Fiona.

[He's already told Davesprite this, but this is a good idea, so he'll share it again.]

[heroproceeding]

got it. thank you.

[ He doesn't know what kind of relationship they once had, but gauging by the text instead of audio he usually sees from this guy, he's not about to poke the bear. ]

Voice | @Summoner

[ninjainviolet]

I can help you identify a few of them.

[ A pause. ]

Chapel 6 and Hospital 18 are both Garret Hawke.
Chapel 17 is Demyx...he played piano, you know.

[ And the last is sent via text because Sheena's a little upset about this one. ]

Chapel 40.. His last name is Wilder. Zelos Wilder.

audio > text; @dreamsnhonor

[heroproceeding]

Garret Hawke... got it. I'll add that. I don't remember Demyx doing that, to be honest... but I think you were here before me. [ So, it doesn't really surprise him. He takes note all the same.

It takes him a moment to realize the text he'd gotten for the last one. But when he does, he pauses. He's seen Sheena around enough to know she doesn't usually text. And if he remembers right, the two of them had been traveling together. ]

thanks. I'm sure it wasn't easy for you to look at that.

audio > text; @summoner

[ninjainviolet]

Thanks. [ He deserves to be known...they all do. ] Demyx and I spoke a lot when he was here. He told me he played. [ She sighs. ] "Before you" is an understatement. We're what? On Day 184?

I've been here since Day 1.

[ So, she's seen a lot. Though, for some reason, that doesn't hit her as hard as seeing Zelos' body and she once again switches to text. She may just stay with it from this point on. ]

You're welcome. Zelos and I are from the same world, and no...it wasn't easy to look at.

[heroproceeding]

The one hundred eighty-fourth, yeah. A little under two weeks then. I was here on the eleventh day. [ Longer than she might have suspected. But the only consolation to that has been that he's been there to help as much as he has. If things had been ideal, no one would have been talking about being here for nearly six months now. But it's nothing that can be changed either way, is it.

This also means that Demyx guy must have died some time during the first two weeks. Considering the body count now though... considering how many people he hadn't known, is it all that surprising? ]

So, he liked music a lot then?

[ Even as he keeps up the talking, he's shooting a text back. ]

sorry. I didn't know. but I get it.

[ He's seen his own fair share of people from his own world gone, too, now. ]

[ninjainviolet]

[ She rubbed her hand over her eyes. He had been here that long? It didn't seem it had been. Six months just fly by when you're struggling to survive in a winter wasteland. She decides to remain with text from now on. ]

If I remember, you made a post about doing squats, right?

[ And yes, Demyx died twice during that time. She preferred hearing him play the piano than asking the tablet who he was. ]

Yeah. He said he usually played the the sitar, but that didn't come with him, so when he found a piano, he figured out how to play it. Hold on.

[ Have a link coming your way, Zack. ] I still listen to it from time to time.

[ There's a pause before she responds again. ]

That's okay. I don't think anyone knew. We were in so many battles, and he came out of each one of them alive... [ She pauses, knowing from his comment that Zack will know what she's getting at. ] I keep expecting him to do it again here, you know?

[ But it's been so long. ]

Memorial Statements

[heroproceeding]

[ Anything that a character would like to write about one of the deceased goes under this comment. For quick reference, please put the name of the character in your subject line. /o/ Feel free for them to submit statements, photos, videos, drawings or any other attachments your little heart desires.

Similar to the advice entry not long ago, Zack is willing to take anonymous submissions if people ask him. To keep things running smooth, it's safe to handwave Zack's approval. The only things he wouldn't approve of would be things where someone was obviously Not Doing a Nice Thing. But that's not going to stop them from saying it anyway if they really want to. /o/ ]

for emmanellain de fortemps

[haillenarte]

In boyhood, when still my faith flew higher,
I knew then love, as for thy bone and blood,
For sweetest silver, and dark desire,
But never thee, beneath the ceaseless flood.
Ours was not love, nor love between brothers,
Though brothers came as angels for our sakes,
And thou hadst friendships, as I had others:
Neither lords nor servants, but fey mistakes.
Despite thy kindness, despite thy cruelty,
Thou did not hate, nor spite, nor envy me,
Love it was not, nor ambiguity,
Yet somehow, in thy death, I ache for thee.
　Of all your virtues and sins had I heard,
　And yet I could not write a single word.

@LELRIC; audio

[armoured]

Uh... I can help.

[His voice is soft and so subdued still, but at least he's talking again.]

36 in the funeral home, that's Jay Merrick. 41 in the chapel is Max Rockatansky. 78 in the hospital is... is Greed.

audio > private; @dreamsnhonor

[heroproceeding]

[ He hears that tone too well. Well enough to be more than a little bit distracted by it, even as he goes to mark those names in. ]

Got it... Thanks, Al.

[ So, that had been Greed. He'd only heard of him in passing... Known he'd once traveled with Al. Likely a friend.

He shoots him another message not longer after.

>Private; ]

How are you holding up?

private;

[armoured]

Better, I guess.

[He sounds unsure, and so incredibly tired.]

I don't think I can ever forgive myself for what I did, but laying down and giving up won't help anyone... it might even hurt more people.

[heroproceeding]

[ That he's talking again instead of texting is at least an improvement. He'll take that. Take it and try to raise it from there. Maybe. ]

That's right. I know it's hard and it's not gonna change how much you wish it'd never happened, but... Sinking in those feelings isn't gonna help anyone.

That includes you, too, you know.

[ Sure, some people say it was just a hallucination- and maybe that's what it had been in the end. But it had felt more than real enough to him. And it's a feeling alone not easily shaken, especially because if it had... ]

[armoured]

I know.

[He still doesn't really want to talk about this, but he's not going to hang up on Zack again.]

I won't give up, I can at least do that, but-- Please don't tell me what happened wasn't my fault when I can remember their blood on my hands.
