[he's put this off for longer than he should have. there were just more important things happening when he arrived, and after that it felt too late for introductions.

but it keeps eating at him, and eating at him, and isn't there a saying about better late than never? so he double-checks his appearance and clears his throat before turning to his daemon.

what you get looks a little bit like a kid whose mother has slicked his hair to the side for the first day of school.]

I've wanted to say hi, so here I go. Hi. My name is Haneul. You can also call me Han - no one ever has, but I wouldn't mind it. I've been here for a couple of weeks. So far this has all been...well, life goes on, doesn't it?

[until it doesn't, but he's trying to make friends and reminding people that they die isn't a very good way of going about it.

or is it?]

So is there anything that you hope to do before you're finished with this life? I'll tell you one if you'll tell me.

We can switch it to "what's your sign?" if that's better. That one's popular enough.

Like the meaningless zodiac sign?

[ He shouldn't try to socialize without Darlene present. ]

Ah my aunt just died a little.

What question would you like to answer?

[ For a moment, Elliot almost thinks that's literal. ]

I don't know.

I don't usually answer questions.

Would you prefer to ask me something instead?

Why do you want to know what people hope to do before they die?

[grimless]

Good one. I guess there are a lot of reasons.

Some people have never given it any thought, because they don't like to think that they will die. But if that's the case, they're thinking about the wrong thing. They're not thinking about living.

And if they have thought about it, maybe a little reminder will turn that thought into action.

People don't like to think at all. They like everything to do the thinking for them, corporations and all that bullshit.

[grimless]

You seem to be a thinker.

[viewsource]

Maybe.

I guess I'm different.

[grimless]

I like different.

Ask me another question if you want.
