deadly_nedHello, Barge. My name is Ned, and I have a completely arbitrary and unrelated question to ask.
If you had a minute - 60 seconds - with any person currently dead and could talk and interact with them as normal, alive people would...
What would you say or ask them?
I suppose this question goes to the people who are currently...dead....and have alive people back home they're separated from as well.
It's an odd question, I know. But I've been...curious, lately.
Also, would the elf who took my wallet please give it back now? I hope you remember me; I was the piemaker dressed as a Franciscan monk. I hate to treat the network as my own personal Lost Connections newsletter but I really didn't know what other way to get in touch with you.
And if you're not actually an elf, I'm sorry for calling you one.

Private
Date: 2013-04-12 04:08 am (UTC)Why are you curious about it?
Private
Date: 2013-04-12 04:12 am (UTC)That's all.
Private
Date: 2013-04-12 04:15 am (UTC)I'd apologize.
Private
Date: 2013-04-12 04:17 am (UTC)Sorry. Personal again.

Date: 2013-04-12 04:24 am (UTC)Sixty seconds can be a good lengthy apology if you plan ahead for it.
Private
Date: 2013-04-12 04:26 am (UTC)You're not acting like this is just a hypothetical.
Private
Date: 2013-04-12 04:29 am (UTC)Of course this is hypothetical. You don't know how I would act period. We're just meeting now. You can't assume how someone would or wouldn't act when meeting them for the first time.
Private
Date: 2013-04-12 04:36 am (UTC)Whatever, man. You're right. I don't know you. Maybe this is how you'd be talking if we were shooting the shit about any other hypothetical question.
So what would you say? Assuming you've got regrets and a dead person of your own to talk to.
Private
Date: 2013-04-12 04:39 am (UTC)I have regrets. And dead people. And what would follow would probably be apologizing or explaining or a combination thereof.

Date: 2013-04-12 05:23 am (UTC)...I'm sorry.
But there's a reason why funerals are for the living and not the dead.
Private
Date: 2013-04-12 05:32 am (UTC)Private
Date: 2013-04-12 05:33 am (UTC)Yes. The only raising the dead I see around here is what the Admiral does.
