004 - Mincemeat

[deadly_ned]

Hello, 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.

I would tell her to ask for the same deal I got.

[deadly_ned]

You mean the Barge?

[meanstwin]

No. A little before I came here. Someone made me an offer I didn't take and I think she could have done a lot with it.

[deadly_ned]

You don't know what would have happened if you had taken that offer.

[meanstwin]

I don't. But I didn't, and she might still get it.

[deadly_ned]

What happens if she gets it.

She leaves where we grew up, and she gets a better start. She always had the good ideas.

I'm sorry you didn't get to take that plunge with her.

...I turned it down. One of us had to stay, and it was better it was me.

private

[deadly_ned]

You sacrificed yourself?

private

[meanstwin]

I did what one of us was going to. I started it, so it was going to have to be me.

[Give it three days, Ned. You'll get the deets.]

[deadly_ned]

I'm sorry. I'm still having trouble understanding.

private

[meanstwin]

I'm sorry, I still can't say anything. I say too much.

private

[deadly_ned]

If you say so.

But I don't think that's the case.
