w0, sunday ........... 2!

[I didn't ask where Hansa would be. My bad.

Anyway, they're in the kitchen. Yona's just turning on the stove to boil some water in a kettle when Hansa arrives, and she looks up from it when she hears his footsteps.]

...do you want something to drink?

[robopriest]

Hm?

[Oh, Yona is here. He blinks, a bit surprised, but he nods.]

Sure. I guess some tea would be nice.

[dawnblushed]

[She nods and fetches two mugs from the cabinet, then! No tea yet, because they're still waiting on water, but. Hopefully it shouldn't take too long.]

...that must have been hard to watch, earlier.

[robopriest]

It was. But admittedly, I'm not a huge stranger to death. I just feel bad for the people who were.

[He shakes his head. Showing that to kids, especially, is...too much.]

[dawnblushed]

Mhm. [She definitely agrees with that.] Making everyone watch that was cruel.

[Heck, even the Leaders had seemed affected by it. It's definitely too much.]

I don't see what the point of making a spectacle of it was. At least give the people who didn't want to be there the chance to leave...

[robopriest]

...

[He's silent for a long moment, before turning to her.]

Yona...how are you feeling? I know we're both thinking about the others, but you were the one who pulled the lever.

[dawnblushed]

Frustrated.

[It is, at least, an honest answer.]

I know that it could have been a lot worse than it was. [It could have been messier. Or it could have been an innocent person on the chopping block.] But "it could have been worse" doesn't mean what happened wasn't still... you know. Bad.

[robopriest]

Oh, for sure. And above all, the Realm decided to put its dirty deed on you.

[He glances back at her, solemn, but there's a flicker of sharp curiosity in his eyes.]

...You didn't remember anything, did you?

[dawnblushed]

[She shakes her head.]

Part of me was expecting to, after what he said, but... no, I didn't.

[So there must be something more to it than just "taking a life = regaining a memory".]

...I wonder why.

[robopriest]

That is pretty interesting.

[And a real mystery, too. He frowns.]

You really haven't experienced anything different after that happened? I mean, if anything did change after what you did...we have to know.

[dawnblushed]

I really haven't.

[Her brow furrows.]

If something had changed, I would tell people, but... [She shrugs.] My memories don't seem any different at all. I still can't remember...

[Her voice trails off.]

[robopriest]

Still can't remember...what?

[TELL HIM, YONA]

w3, sunday

[dawnblushed]

[Hi, dinovore buddy!

Wherever Hansa happens to be, Yona is there now. She looks like she wants to ask him a question, but unfortunately, her voice is still gone! Luckily she can make use of her PHS to use her words unless you've decided to have him go blind post-execution so he doesn't have to perceive people going WTF.]

Hansa, can I ask you a few questions?

[robopriest]

[yes he is blind now he doesn't Perceive]

[No, he can see! And he nods to her question, looking much more clam than he did last night.]

Go ahead. Shoot.

[CALM I MEAN CALM. BRITT!!!]

[dawnblushed]

[CRYSTAL I'M SORRY THAT WAS GOING TO BE A GAGTAG BUT THEN I GOT DISTRACTED BY A PHONE CALL AND THEN I FELL DOWN THE STAIRS



anyway. yona types.]

You've probably already been asked this, but... did you know that things were going to turn out the way they did, today?

[robopriest]

[DFGHJKHGF BRITT TAKE CARE OF YOURSELF!!!]

Yes, I did. Or rather, I knew vaguely that it would turn out "okay". I was a bit surprised by how it turned out, quite honestly.

[dawnblushed]

I think everyone was. I'm glad you're both safe.

[For a second there it really sounded like they were going to yeet themselves off the cliff together!]

[robopriest]

...Me too.

[He looks...relieved.]

[dawnblushed]

Did he tell you that he and I had something planned in case it didn't?

[robopriest]

Hm?

[That gets a look of surprise.]

He? Who's "he"?

[dawnblushed]

Emet-Selch.

[robopriest]

No?

[WTF EMET?]

He didn't say a word?

[dawnblushed]

It was a worst-case scenario - a way to keep cooperating in case he was removed from the Realm after all. Since it's possible to communicate with the dead, we came up with a code so that we could communicate information quickly and easily.

[Once he's had the chance to read that, she pulls her PHS back to scroll through some of the notes on her app, then holds it out again - ]

1 - the location where you go when you die, what it's like
2 - specific activities performed by the dead
3 - information learned by the dead
4 - information specifically related to nova
5 - the name of any previous killers that may need to be killed for others' safety
Use first letter of someone's name, or as few initials as possible to differentiate, when talking about a person. Use U for unknown.
'x' or 'o' after initials to denote if that person should be mistrusted or believed.
L with initial of animal for leaders - LT, LG, LF, and so on.
We need to: come up with a codeword to indicate that it's us in case someone tries to claim to be us to spread misinformation.
