I hope I'm making you proud, where ever you are. There are so many things I never got to say before you were gone. I'm sorry I was so hard to deal with and I'm sorry we fought so much.

I miss you.

I love you.

[A separate note in the same handwriting:]

The rifters who came before; may we see some of you again.

[altusimperius]

[in the kind of frilly penmanship clearly belonging to nobility:]

Kit Gandir, who returned to the stone.

Lakshmi, Kitty, and D'Artagnan: wherever the Rift took you, I wish you contentment there.

[Nailed and glued to the wall is a parchment portrait with an equally thoroughly secured note underneath:]



'A guiding light in darker times. A regal presence without equal, dashing and daring, and never to be forgotten.'

Leave donations memorial offerings below.

[Someone's also gone through the trouble of shoving an empty basket up against the base of the wall. Clearly a hint.]

[altusimperius]

[Someone has dumped used coffee grounds into the basket.]

[broodypants]

[Someone else has left a mirror.]

[ Someone else will have to be responsible for remembering Finch Wicker's name. ]

[cozen]

[ A clipping from an Orlesian publication from several months back, excoriating a cafe in Val Royeaux with such passion one cannot imagine it survived, is posted without a label or explanation.

Maybe he really liked that cafe.

(He did not. It's the last thing he read that he thought would have made Vincent laugh. But that's none of anyone's business.) ]

No notes, but periodically bouquets of flowers appear at the base of the wall, presumably left in the dead of night.
