I am no stranger to death-- you may rest assured I will do as much there as I have on this side to ensure our continued progress. The efforts I have made to that effect are precisely why Archer attempted to keep me alive in the first place.
[he exhales a heavy sigh at that, shaking his head.]
Contact me, and I will assist you as well as I can. If you are able to tell me now what you already know, then that will help ensure you receive nothing redundant.
[why have so many people in this murdergame died already, goddamn.
anyway, yona nods, and sets to typing again.]
As far as what I know about the Realm itself so far, it's mostly what Soo-won said after we looked for evidence yesterday.
I can send messages to the dead twice a week, but it doesn't let me write very much, so I have to be careful about what I say. A message that I already got had some letters missing, so I had to try to guess what some of the words were based on context.
The dead said they were alright and doing things on that side, which I assume means there's more going on there. They also reminded me that people needed to stop sharing their teams - I'm not sure if it's just because the Realm becoming unstable affected them, too, or if they were able to see something.
If possible, I'd like to know where you end up, what sorts of things you're doing on that side, and what you can see or hear of what we're doing, if anything. I won't be able to use as many words to ask questions in my messages, either, so maybe we should come up with some kind of a code to save space? Like assigning a number to a certain topic, so we can focus on just the important things.

I think that would be a reasonable plan, yes. One for the topic of location. Two for specific activities on that side. Three for information learned there, and perhaps four for nova related topic specifically. Only use the first initial for any specific person you wish to ask about, to save space-- first and last initial as needed, which all may apply to both the living and dead. 'U' for 'unknown' to save space in messages going either direction, as no one's name begins with that letter.
[they're going to fucking kill us when the messages are like '1 U'.]
anyway, yona is make a note of these codes and saving it to her notes app so she won't forget.]
I know the chances of this are low, given that memories are... tricky here. But... maybe five for any previous killers you learn of that need to be removed for everyone's safety.
I don't much like killing, but I'll do it if I have to.
Five for that, then. I will send you initials, and I will attempt to send a form of hint just in case this Realm chooses to make things difficult for us.
[he pauses for a long moment, then, before he adds quietly:]
Share your notes with Archer before tomorrow, if you are able and willing to tell him anything.
If he is chosen to dispatch me, I do not trust he will do it. I cannot promise I will ensure my own death.
Ultimately, what's most important is finding a way out of this situation.
I don't think any of us wants to die, but we should all be prepared for it, and be prepared to do what we can after that happens. We know they're not dead in the sense that they're gone, anyway.
Ah- our souls are rather persistent, you see, and do not dissipate with our bodies. The body you see me in now is a vessel, one of many I have occupied over the eons.
[just waving a hand, casually!]
I have 'died' many times before. Even should my soul be trapped elsewhere, 'twill be no great change.
[hence why he's fine with just planning what he's going to do over there, if nothing happens to allow him to live.]
More akin to... possession, we shall say, though I must clarify there are not truly souls inhabiting the vessels we use before we take hold of them. I have always remained myself, with my own soul intact; 'tis only the body that changes.

It's probably selfish of me, but part of me hopes you both find a way out of this. Chiron is important to me, so I really don't want to lose him.
[but frankly i don't trust that he won't be the executioner!]

[but, you know, he expects people to be pissed if he pulls a kano.]
I do not know how both of us would, but... maybe your hope will be rewarded in some fashion.

Good. And if that's the case, we'd still be able to use our code.

It might be, since we were able to come here. And, Sora said he's been to other worlds even before this, so there must be ways.
