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.

That one wasn't supposed to be dangerous. And the other... Yuugi-kun won back his grandfather's soul, so it was worth the danger for that.

And there's been a tournament here with nothing going wrong! So maybe it was just Domino that made everything happen.

[Voice : Private]

[nottheanswers]

Domino? [That sounds familiar to him for some reason.]

[Voice : Private]

[shiromadoushi]

Where I was living before I came to the City. It's a district in Tokyo.

[Voice : Private]

[nottheanswers]

Ah. I feel like someone else might've mentioned it to me before, are there any others from there here?

[Voice : Private]

[shiromadoushi]

A few! Not too many from the same time, though.

[Voice : Private]

[nottheanswers]

That definitely sounds familiar. Good odds I've met one of them before.

[Voice : Private]

[shiromadoushi]

Probably. Though most of them aren't very social. [[there's a fond tone there.]]

[Voice : Private]

[nottheanswers]

I think it was...Ruka? Yeah, I'm reasonably sure that was her name.

It was a couple months ago.

[Voice : Private]

[shiromadoushi]

She's from the future version of Domino. At least, I think, 40 years after I was there last.

[Voice : Private]

[nottheanswers]

Pretty drastic jump in time.

[Voice : Private]

[shiromadoushi]

And circumstances! Domino changes a lot in the future, it seems.

[[what with the Zero Reverse splitting it half and all but destroying the half he lived in and all. More reasons to never go back if he could at all help it!]]

[Voice : Private]

[nottheanswers]

Tokyo tends to do that, from what I understand.

[Voice : Private]

[shiromadoushi]

Not quite to that sort of level.

[Voice : Private]

[nottheanswers]

That bad, huh?

[Voice : Private]

[shiromadoushi]

From what I heard, half the city got destroyed by a disaster not too far in my future.

[Voice : Private]

[nottheanswers]

That would make the difference, I would think.

[Voice : Private]

[shiromadoushi]

Un.

I really hope I don't have to go back there...

[Voice : Private]

[nottheanswers]

How long would you have before the disaster?

[Voice : Private]

[shiromadoushi]

I'm not sure. Maybe 10 years? I'd have to ask everybody...

[Voice : Private]

[nottheanswers]

Well, sounds like you'd have a fair amount of time, at least.

[Voice : Private]

[shiromadoushi]

But there's nothing I could do about it.

And everyone would still be here...

[Voice : Private]

[nottheanswers]

It isn't easy to know your future's locked in when you return, but at least you'd have time.

[Voice : Private]

[shiromadoushi]

I guess...

But what I'd be doing back home would be working for the museum. If it's going to just be destroyed...

[Voice : Private]

[nottheanswers]

Everything ends eventually. You just make the most out of the time you have.

[Maybe a little bitterly:] I mean, if I had ten years? There's no telling what you can do with that kind of time.

[Voice : Private]

[shiromadoushi]

[[and amazingly enough, he picks up on that bitter.]]

You don't think that you do...?
