Eighth Inquiry [voice] BACKDATED TO 3AM

[nottheanswers]

You now, there are some questions that you'll be unlikely to ever get an answer to you can share. Not entirely impossible, as this place has proven, but the usefulness of the information, how it may apply to anyone else, is always suspect.

I've got one in particular in mind, but the answers will probably be different between here and home, and there's good odds they'll vary from person-to-person.

But I'm using a lot of words to make a very simple inquiry. [sorry everyone, he probably hasn't slept in a few days] What do you think happens when you die? Or, at the very least, between when you die here and when she decides to bring you back?

I have my own thoughts, of course, but my answers aren't important right now. Just the question.

[nottheanswers]

So, you're telling me I will be sent to hell?

[hexappeal]

You can always fix the hair. I like it now, by the way. Keep this cut.

[nottheanswers]

There was a lot more to that time than just the hair.

I...wasn't at my best. No the period I'd choose if I went back to any time in my life.

[hexappeal]

Which one would you choose, then?

[nottheanswers]

That would be telling.

[hexappeal]

Tease.

[nottheanswers]

Sorry, Zee. A guy's gotta keep some secrets.

Besides, you know what they tell you about making a wish when you blow out the candles, right?

[hexappeal]

That telling pretty magicians makes your wish more likely to come true?

[nottheanswers]

Yes, that's exactly what they say.

But I think this one might be a bit out of your territory.

[hexappeal]

Did you just call me not-pretty? [Choose your words very carefully, Vic.]

[nottheanswers]

[Sigh.] No, but it's complicated. And very personal.

[hexappeal]

See, I was just teasing. But now you've gone and made it serious, so I'll have to offer you a hug next time I see you.

[nottheanswers]

That's what you get for making me nostalgic.

[hexappeal]

A hug? I should've tried doing that a while back, then.

[nottheanswers]

Oh, but that only comes after the guilt-trip.

[hexappeal]

Wait a minute! Go a little slower -- I'm taking notes, here!

[nottheanswers]

I could always send you a transcript.

[hexappeal]

Do I need a self-addressed, pre-stamped envelope?

[nottheanswers]

With me? Don't be silly.

[hexappeal]

You're such a gentleman.

[nottheanswers]

I do try.

[hexappeal]

Yet it seems so effortless.

[nottheanswers]

That impression is always worth the extra effort.

[hexappeal]

You're a dying breed.

[nottheanswers]

It comes in waves, I think. But the underlying attitudes are always important, and some of those...haven't been too great on the whole lately, no. A failing of my gender, I'm afraid.
