(Charlie insists I amuse him, so I pose a public question.)

If you were sentenced to execution for any crime, but the sentencer let you choose your own way of dying, which way would you choose?

I know what I'd say, but that would be telling.

A public execution, attended by the entire population of the nearest city with a population over 100,000; featuring dinosaurs, rabid wolves, fire-eaters, professional mourners, The Lesbian Conspiracy headlining, and S&M public demonstrations.

That, actually, sounds fun.

Well, until the whole dead part.

[sorrow_nor_fire]

No, see, that's the beauty of it!

I'm scrawny, so it's real easy to slip out of the ropes, and while everyone's all distracted by the spectacle, it's a cakewalk to escape and be free.

Besides, I have a glittery electrostatic Get Out Of Death Free card. I think.

(The trick, you see, is to ask for The Lesbian Conspiracy instead of The Lesbian Oligarchy. TLO is a much better show, but then you wouldn't want to miss it.)

That must be worth more than a soul, a foolproof way out.

But that's a good point, if everybody is distracted. I probably wouldn't be allowed in, because I bet the attendees would have to be over 21.

You should ask her! I bet she'd give you one. She was handing them out to nice people, and you don't seem like you're not one of those.

Yet.

(Do you have a map of Victorian England, btw?)

Why would they? Because of the drinking and general lascivious licentiousness, you mean? Pfft. I look twelve, I don't think they'd be able to get away with it, not at my funeral.

You've sat down and had a chat with Death? Lucky. I've wanted to. Asking why I got this job and not someone, like, qualified, but I guess I had to be born.

-- Charlie says he does. Have a map of Victorian England. I don't, but his handheld is right over there if you want me to hack borrow it.

[sorrow_nor_fire]

No, not Death.

And please, go ahead and ask George, before stealing.

Stealing is Not Nice, and is a Sin, and Morally Wrong in Most Dimensions.

[not_graveling]

Who's -- oh. Geez. How many names do you have, Charlie?

... Apparently he has a lot.

He doesn't mind me borrowing it, so, um, one second --

[thisplaceaway]

aaand it's still May, just using Charlie's stuff now, where is that stupid file -- aha.
