The dead divulged at sea's shore: bereft, they haunt night waters. Buried ashore, they would wake to death's work.

Rest rites elude them.

Some among you wield fire unending. Lend light. The rest may release candles, salt and incense at sea.

If we do nothing of righteousness here, let us achieve this. What of the other dead?

( ooc: won't someone think of Akira/Lily/Anduin's corpses???? Threadjack away, you've got this. )

The dead should be honored. No matter what happens.

[downswing]

Their bodies distorted.

[eternallywandering]

My eyesight is poor. Let me deal with them.

[downswing]

We cannot retrieve them to land. They would revive, enslaved.

[eternallywandering]

I am a poor swimmer.

I know it bothers you, Hanguang-Jun, to leave them. But we risk more lives retrieving them.

[downswing]

It does not trouble me.

To retrieve them is to damn them.

[eternallywandering]

They will not be damned.

The candles will be made.

[downswing]

You have survived fairly here?

[eternallywandering]

I have been treated with more kindness than I deserve.

[downswing]

By murderous sirens?

[eternallywandering]

They really are charming when you learn their language!

I'm joking. I was referring to everyone - living - that has been willing to help me.

[downswing]

What aid have you required?

[eternallywandering]

My body isn't healed; it is only stabilized. My energy levels dip and sometimes I need help with the simplest of tasks.
