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]

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.

[hexappeal]

Women aren't all sunshine and rainbows, either.

[nottheanswers]

No, I suppose not. But women have a lot more working against them, I think.

[hexappeal]

I guess so. I'm in a fortunate position where I don't have to really depend on anyone.

Though, I guess, you could also look on that as unfortunate.

[nottheanswers]

I would think that depends on whether it's that you don't need it, or never had the option to begin with.

[hexappeal]

The outcome is still the same.

[nottheanswers]

Technically, sure. The difference is all in how you might feel about it.

[hexappeal]

I hate this conversation, just so you know.

[nottheanswers]

That's how it tends to go with the important ones.

[hexappeal]

I also hate that you're right.

[nottheanswers]

When you steer the conversation in a direction like that one, it tends to be remarkably telling.

[hexappeal]

So what did you learn, then?

[nottheanswers]

Well, for one, you probably didn't have the option. For two, you seem to understandably resent that a bit.

[hexappeal]

You forgot the part about how I hate this conversation.

[nottheanswers]

That was three.

But you asked, so I answered.

[hexappeal]

You were accurate.

[nottheanswers]

I do try to pay attention.

[hexappeal]

I appreciate it, Vic.

So. What are your thoughts on the matter?

[nottheanswers]

Are you sure you want to hear? I thought you hated this conversation.

[hexappeal]

I hated where it went. Where it's going, I might not hate.

[nottheanswers]

Well, that doesn't change the fact that I don't really have the information to have any meaningful thoughts about your resentful. So I'm afraid you'll have to tell me more about them first.

[Does he really know she's trying to change the subject? Maybe he isn't sure? Is he deflecting from what she's changing it to? We'll never know...until another tag or so from now.]

[hexappeal]

What, in particular, are you interested in?

[He knows. He always knows. :|]

[nottheanswers]

Well, it's your resentment. What parts do you want to know my thoughts on? We can start there.
