Right. What can we do from here? [ varian frowns in thought ] All I know on that is they use the ink somehow. To... rewrite things? It's thematic, but vague. It's hard to say whether their capacity to use the ink is linked to themselves or if anyone could do it if they only knew how, since the latter does not strike me as something they'd admit to.
[ he will when he can, so it doesn't count as a joke :/ and then he ... shrugs ]
I'd, well, I'd personally feel a lot better if we weren't relying on either of them for something like that? But there's no point in trying to take anything for ourselves if we don't know for sure we could use it. Both Tiger and Dragon have their own agenda I'd rather we not get any more tangled up in?
Right. It isn't ... great. That's why, if we could figure out how exactly they're using the ink-- I'd at least like to know if there's a way around depending on them. I don't know that we can find that out here, though.
Ughh... I kinda wish there was more we could do from here.
[ anyway, varian laughs a bit awkwardly at the yona clarification ]
Yeah, I, um, I know who Yona is. I've, um, I've been sharing letters with Hiro since the owlery opened. [ he doesn't know that jae-ha personally knows yona tho because that? that is funny. ] I don't think they'd know or they'd have mentioned it already, since we've been trying to see if there's an alternative for a while.
Ha, well, uh. I try, yeah. And figuring things out is kind of my thing. [ because he's a scientist, curious as fuck and stubborn to a fault, it's a great mix ] I wasn't working alone, though, so I'm sure everyone else from the living is aware of it by now.

... I know. But hope is all we can have -
Well, that, and whatever work that we can do from this side. I don't plan on resting until we figure out their secret on bringing back the dead.

.... what, you want to try to just steal the ink?

... which appears to be the current choices set before us - having to rely on one or the other to act in our best interests instead.

Yona - ... ah, Beauty and the Beast... were only other players in the last game, so I'm not sure if that's something they'd know.

Ah... No... I can't say that she and I have had a chance to chat about that.
[now would be
a great time
to mention that he knows yona personally
no?
okay]
You really get your hands into anything you can, don't you? That was excellent thinking.
