at once short of life, and long of sorrow.
[You are dead.
Well, obviously. You remember how you died. It was...not fun, to say the least. But hey, at least you're off that ship, right?
Except...you don't know exactly where you are now. It seems like a house, but if it is, it's...a work in progress. Most of the rooms are empty, and your steps echo up through the marble columns and down faint mosaics on the tiled floor. The few windows you find have a green light gleaming through them; you can't really see anything beyond the eerie light.
It feels like you're in a temple of some kind. The columns and mosaics seem to indicate it is something like that-it's certainly reminiscent of something out of an ancient culture, perhaps even one you're familiar with. For some reason, though, it's clear someone-or something-lives here. One of the rooms to the south is stuffed with pizza boxes. Another, larger room has a makeshift futon in one of the corners. There are imprints of multiple footsteps all through the dusty floors as you look around, many of them leading to a small alcove to the west. And-
and there's a giant van. Just. hanging out there. Completely out of place with the seemingly ancient decor. And inside, there is the sound of light snoring.
Ok then. You're apparently not alone in death, after all.]

[and that's all he'll give him, just...waiting for whatever information Moriarty plans to impart]
no subject
[He'll be direct about it, then.]
Firstly, it should be obvious that we are in the Greek Underworld - but there are portals leading to other parts of it, and that the tree's roots block any way we can attempt to leave. There are supposedly the other members of the two games before us in those areas, still seeking a way out, but...
[He shrugs.]
Secondly, you can write a letter to the living and have it be sent to Charon - the 'gimmie's' true name. You will have to pay in blood, however.
[He's not sure if his letter was received before Brain's death, so he'll pause before continuing to get a yes or no.]
no subject
What other parts are there portals to, exactly? Have those been explored and documented?
[as for that bit about Charon...]
...I see. That seems a convenient method of communication with them, then. By doing so, we could possibly establish how to be rid of those roots from our end, and perhaps meet them in the middle.
no subject
[He'll assume Brain can easily look up exactly what those are, considering.]
And you would be correct - barring any wait from writing the letter to Charon receiving it, that is.
[Tbh, for him it's basically like how the post used to be, so he's much less impatient about it than a normal person would be.]
...And, finally, I have received word that it is possible for us to 'upgrade' our abilities by connecting with our Devil Arms - the weapons that our powers are based off of. They have souls and names, but the best way to reach them is by having an emotion that resonates with the Devil Arm in question.
no subject
And how does one discover which emotion resonates best with said Devil Arm?

[It's clearly also not His Dad in the same way Alastor mentioned them to work, so he more assumes Yamato was made in a different way but still has some of the Echoes of Sparda in there somewhere.]
no subject
[he huffs]
That's troublesome.
