Voice Post #1

[bewareboy6]

[There's a long moment of silence before the sound of a page turning can be heard. Only then does a voice come on. That of a boy.]

Why is disease and death feared? These are part of life and always come.

[Another pause before he speaks again.]

We all will fade.

I see. You deal with spirits.

[He simply nods for a moment.] I'm an onmyōji, so I deal with a lot of spirits that have lingered behind and have also performed as a medium on several occasions.

And if they do not wish to leave?

[marked-as-prey.livejournal.com]

Then I try to figure out why they don't. Anytime that a spirit lingers in the living world then it suffers, so I try to help them figure out why they don't want to move on.

Is this a fun job?

[marked-as-prey.livejournal.com]

At times, though there are also times that I really wish that I could do something else.

[bewareboy6.livejournal.com]

I did not know there was something else.

Of course, there are all kind of jobs. I remember I wanted to be a vet when I was younger, but then I learned that you had to dissect animals in veterinary school so I changed it to a zoo keeper. That way I could help take care of the animals without having to do that.

Dissection would show you the inside of the animal.

[marked-as-prey.livejournal.com]

I know, but I didn't like the idea of cutting an animal open, even if they had already died.

Even if they do not feel pain?

[marked-as-prey.livejournal.com]

Uh-huh, I know that it must seem silly but even if I know that they can't feel anything I still feel bad for them.

[bewareboy6.livejournal.com]

I do not find it silly.
