People should listen to the dead.

They'd learn a lot if they did.

[saturday-baron.livejournal.com]

Damn right. Pity so few ever do.

[motherofdemons.livejournal.com]

So few of them listen to even the living.

[saturday-baron.livejournal.com]

Right. But with good reason. The living rarely got much constructive to say.

[motherofdemons.livejournal.com]

That is certainly true enough, but if they cannot listen to their own when they do have something constructive to say, do you really think them intelligent enough to know to listen to those that have gone before them?

[saturday-baron.livejournal.com]

Some of them are. And I wouldn't say they're unintelligent so much as inattentive.

Many just plead for a second chance at life, though. Erebus gets quite noisy at times...

[saturday-baron.livejournal.com]

No, you gotta wait 'til after they've had time to settle awhile.

[being-the-night.livejournal.com]

Those are the more interesting ones. Perhaps I should ask Hades to move the newer souls somewhere else.

[saturday-baron.livejournal.com]

I usually just give 'em a drink and let them get it all out of their systems. Usually calms them down pretty quick.

Handing out alcohol to the recently departed isn't my ideal way to spend my days.

[frog-people.livejournal.com]

*chuckles* That's all I do is listen to them. Though they're not always great conversationalist. Mostly it's a love whining about how they don't want to be dead.

[saturday-baron.livejournal.com]

You spend time around the long dead, or just the recently deceased? 'Cause I know for the latter, they do sometimes only have that one thing on their minds.

[frog-people.livejournal.com]

Mostly the recently deceased and you would be right. They do bitch more though even the long dead aren't innocent of it.

So who are you?

[saturday-baron.livejournal.com]

Sure, sure, but it's in the nature of humanity to bitch 'bout anything, no matter what their current state of existence. But most of 'em realize they got less to bitch about, once they're dead.

Baron La Croix, Baron Cimitiere, or Baron Samedi, depending on whatcha' need me for and where you are, honey.

*nods*

I know you. Well, know of you. You're like a god of sorts. *smiles* I'm going to guess it has something to do with the dead.

[viva-la-poverty.livejournal.com]

Sweetie, people rarely listen to the living, let alone the deceased.

How you doing, Baron?

[saturday-baron.livejournal.com]

Ah, but the living ain't worth half as much listening to.

Well enough, honey. I got enough worshipers to get by, like always. Yourself?

[viva-la-poverty.livejournal.com]

Misbehaving as always.

...Ok, working up a storm in the third world. The first just sounded better. *Grin*

[saturday-baron.livejournal.com]

I'll toast to that first. I always make a habit of doing that, but I figure it goes without saying.

*smiles* And I figured as much. I do tend to end up around your work quite a bit, so I can appreciate it fully.

[viva-la-poverty.livejournal.com]

*raises her beer bottle in a toast*

And I do aim to please, sugar. *chuckles*

[http://users.livejournal.com/_call_me_snake_/]

I think about them enough to make up for the talking.

[neela-lupa.livejournal.com]

I've talked to them quite enough, thank ye very much.

[arkhams-dr.livejournal.com]

Or join them. Slooooooowwwwwlllllly.

[powered-otaku.livejournal.com]

How do you hear them? I am not sure I have the ears to hear them.
