[Oh look, the boy isn't all intense broody business. That's kinda endearing.]

Hey, buy something and I'll forgive you. [It's obvious she's kidding, but also for real tho, buy something.] I'm Lup. What other pieces have you got?

[thermalwind]

I'll buy something next time. [He will make good on his word next time. Keith is that sort of person. He unslings his backpack and carefully produces the scroll. Keith offers it to her.]

This one is the oldest. I...think the entry dated A. E 1012 was next. This one comes after that at A. E 209.

The plaque about those they can't save was Est A. E 21. So any entry between those is in that timeframe. So in total, either a 100 people died on Umui or, they were the ones recorded.

I'll double check the dates to be sure.

[Lup takes the scroll carefully and studies it with a frown, the cant of her ears growing sharper with tension. She'd heard it being read on the network, but seeing it in person is a whole nother thing. There's just something about it rubbing her the wrong way, something sounding awfully familiar.

It takes her a moment to register what he's saying, and when she does her eyes snap up to him.]

Wait, you're thinking they were, like, counting backwards? Wouldn't it make more sense for them to start counting again after their uh, their exodus? The plaque could be talking about the people lost in this disaster. [She tips the scroll for emphasis and hands it back to him.]

[thermalwind]

[He stops and listens. It makes sense, they could have started counting after. He crosses his arms over his chest to really think about that. ...but what about?]

...it is possible it's the reverse, yeah. But the higher numbered entries still talk about other places. If it's later then...seems like this disease or illness escalated.

But it sticks in my head. 'May his image be forever burned in my mind.' ...and the plague was 'They lived and died free of the draperies of their fiction.' Like Ai'tuoh.

[Keith takes the scroll back and carefully slips it back into his pack. He makes sure its safe and secure before he sighs and says,]

Guess it all boils down to we need more information. We just have a little more of it than we did before.
