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.

I'd say that hits the definition pretty closely. They're supported by the hierarchy while you're lower on the totem pole, so they have the power to run you off like that.

That isn't how a family should work. [Yes, Momiji is now hearing ideas about family from an orphan.]

No, it's not. But mine does. It's not something that can be easily changed. It's something that we've all learned to deal with.

Only because you've never had the opportunity to explore an alternative, I'm sure. A hierarchy can be changed, if the people can be convinced that they want something different.

People have tried to change it. It's not so simple as just wanting to; there's a lot more complicated things going on.

Have you had enough people working to change it each time? I have a feeling that only a few people, right as they may be, would hit up against too much pushback.

There have been a lot, but I don't think they were the right people. No matter how many try, if they have no power it will be useless.

Hmm. [It's more a frustrated grunt than a thoughtful acknowledgment. He's never been good with authority figures.]

It's not that bad. Things have been getting better recently.

[nottheanswers]

Oh yeah? How's that?

[whatmuttiforgot.livejournal.com]

Just better. [Smiling.] I can't tell you a lot about that.

[nottheanswers]

Big secret?

[whatmuttiforgot.livejournal.com]

Something like that.

Then I guess I'll wish you luck, whenever you make it back.

Thank you, we could use it.
