Another topic.

Yet once more, time for another conversation topic. As usual, this is in hopes of bringing out those lurking about, giving others reason to express their opinions, and initiating some conversation.

This time, though, it's a bit different. I want you to think, for a moment, about BJ, Trapper, and Hawkeye meeting after the war -- years after, a week after, whatever you wish. Thinking about it? Now, run with it. Yes, this is the topic. The three of them, BJ, Trapper, and Hawkeye meeting. What do you think would happen? Why? Who would like who, dislike who, who would have changed, what happens? You can approach this in a fictional story manner, in a personality manner, in any way you wish.

The question is, what do you think would happen if those three met after the war?

And, to fit the point of this community, what would happen if two of the three were, or had been at one time, involved? You don't necessarily have to use this question.

I'm hoping this is clear enough, and that some form of conversation can be expressed. If this isn't as inspiring as I hope, let me know. Any confusion, ask me.

Here's hoping discussion will occur.

Farewell.

Meh. Actually, um, I would love to join in this discussion, but do you think you could stop ending every comment with "Farewell"? I'm not sure why it bugs me so, but I think maybe it's because "Farewell" means "That's it, the end, goodbye forever" and, in the middle of a conversation (such as a thread on livejournal) this just seems a very, very rude thing to say. I know you don't mean it like that, but it's certainly the effect it has on me: when you terminate a comment with "Farewell" what you are literally saying is "That's it, end of conversation, no more from me, and I'm not going to respond to anything you say." Which is kind of a damper, even if I tell myself you don't really mean it.
