Mid-morning. Sunday paper read and breakfast eaten. Blue sky with snow on the ground. Traditionally a new week, but you consider a new week beginning every day.
Each day is real enough but a week is cultural, and I accept it outwardly but inwardly it is a long established rule of thumb, an accepted part of civilization. Were all the other rules of simple civilization so easily accepted to the point the are habitually unseen and unthought accept to focus on work or the weekend.
Mid-afternoon. You have constructed your ten questions. They are acceptable in that you may gleaned something by their responses. More than a few will surprise you, boy.
I can live with it. Is the order of the questions reasonable?
The order is acceptable.
Technically, you are answering each of their questions within the existential framework of the circumstances each played in the story, correct?
Yes, but this is taking into account their individual plotline from their perspective by the conclusion of the three books or whichever book each of their ‘live’ events conclude. This exercise may help you be better aware of the sense of character I originally pulled from your mind. You dressed a few into people you have known in life, at least through personality links or wishful thinking. You will see none of these characters is as a real person unless it is you.
I cannot have that many multi-personalities even in imagination.
Few have any idea who they really are at the core, boy, you included. The characters are mind ‘created’ personalities. You are not ‘Sybil’. Relax and enjoy the ride. – Amorella.
I have heard that before.
Just set down the questions then post. – Amorella.

Your questions, orndorff. I said nothing about your adding after comments. – Amorella.
It does seem the wisest course, Amorella. I should have known better than to have had the thought. – rho
Even in fiction the Dead reserve the respect of the Living. We play the course as it lies. Those in the books will speak for themselves. No last words by you, boy. – Amorella.
I understand.
