( It's been a long month, a whirlwind of intense experiments, and even that response sounds tired, which... Well. It's Kate. She doesn't often like to sound tired for anything, or anyone. )
Been a while since I did work this intense. ( In terms of actually using her powers, anyway. Hell, in terms of more than just that, really. )
Thing's... ( Dangerous is all too obvious a thing to say, isn't it? ) 'M not even sure, yet. Hungry.
( At least, that's how it seems to her, the more she watches it. When Sorrow touches it and it all but tries to devour him.
It makes her think it's hungry, craving more power. Maybe she's just imagining things, or thinking too much of a void of grey power that used to roam the halls of The Agency, barking orders. )
[Jo falls silent at this information. She knows that finding out more about the Door is important, but what if it ends up too dangerous before they figure it out?]
Do you know what it wants? Is it pulling everyone here because of that?
( A shake of her head. She's pretty sure this was mentioned somewhere in one of the god's posts, but it's easy to miss things like that if it hasn't been a near obsession and frustrating mystery for a person like it has been for Kate. )
Pulling everyone here 'cause the gods needed to survive. ( Their emotions. Their energy.
As for how it works... Well, that's still... difficult to put into words. )
( Isn't that the truth? It would be so much easier if any of them understood the Door in any way, if they could offer more than observational notes and unsure questions (Is that meant to happen?), but they don't. )
Much.
( She rubs her eyes with one hand and adds: ) Always knew it'd be difficult.

Jo can't wait any longer, so she calls Kate one evening.]

It's doing it all for them? [She pauses, but-]
I guess you wouldn't know why.

( That answer is automatic, another thing said by the gods before. )
According to them, anyway.
Re: Video;
Can they communicate with it?
Video;
( As for that next part? ) Sorrow were melding with it. Not sure it really communicates.
( It sure doesn't engage in conversation, anyway. )

( Obviously. Otherwise they'd be home by now. )

Just be careful.

( That's all she can promise. )
