into your hole bye-bye what a day grim
what a day let us go over your conduct
first good they see the correct amount
of profiles today seems to be in order
anyway grim five days you have been with
us how does it feel to make the
difficult choices I didn't like it at
first but of
now I love it honestly I feel like I'm
not killing enough peope I crave more
warmer but more and more death it's not
enough but think of the humans do you
think our office is the appropriate way
to deal with them I'm not sure ah the
question is too difficult after all
you've not even lived a week you have
not seen what the tradition has wrought
this control over all the lives
unbeknownst to the humans do not
consider it unethical to make the
choices you make
but you hand out the rules and make me
do the choices true enough one must be
in charge the others are here to follow
the offices perennial and venerated
Aeons we have spent designing the
appropriate methods and strategies we
know what we are doing oh I do apologize
for taking up so much of your time
before you go are there any questions
you would like to ask me why haven't I
seen any underage profiles interesting
what's the basis for the profiles is
there a point system ah the good place
in the bad place why do all the profiles
refer to people as they not really it's
asked with the underage ones ah the
children they are a special case for a
different set of departments to deal
with you will not find any yourself okay
good to know
Oh animals get a department absolutely
all living beings have to be processed
after the end no escape even plants yes
there is a department for plants do not
ask about the plant Department I'm gonna
ask about the point system oh look at
all the humans can't actually affect
anything you're not so too sure about
that I am quite so is it predetermined
what about free will
humans have some free will sure they can
make a variety of choices yet what
matters is that they cannot escape the
inevitable the life-threatening
situations that bring them out to your
desk a result of their own deeds and
decisions there are some highly complex
calculations factors and aspects that
influence the situation but that is just
a bit over your pay grade so do not
worry about it
okay thanks dad I go to bed now got all
my questions answered eco watch local
shark population drops to a dangerous
level our tasty creatures destined to go
extinct we just found out about the the
animal department so we know that no
