@[Cutlerfan](/user/show/14171) Duly noted. Thanks for your input.

@[Cutlerfan](/user/show/14171) I thought it was explained that in this society, once transformed into objects people are no longer people. So it wouldn't matter what they wanted. Their disposition is "object". So the object is entirely at the mercy of their owner as to what happens to them, what level of consideration they receive (if any). Hence the idea of choosing the right owner being so important. So you don't get thrown in an attic and left to rot for eternity, aware, but unable to do anything. You have to imagine that the vast majority of objects are forgotten after a number of years and exist in private hells, shut up in a trunk or dresser or closet or even a shelf in the garage.

@[Cutlerfan](/user/show/14171) I'm usually hesitant sharing worldbuilding ideas out of story, but these points are unlikely to be covered in story, so here we go: > I read that story but no explanation of how people are assigned their future’s is mentioned. People are randomly assigned one of the two roles by the government. It's random, probably done by an algorhythm. > How can Object people die? This is indeed something I've considered in my worldbuilding, but I don't think I'll ever cover it in-story, so here's the scoop: Objects do age and will die of old age. Their life span is equal to that of humans. They will also continue to have characteristics showing their age. So Josh's dad has the voice and face of an older man (think 40-50?) instead of a 20-year-old which was when he got changed. Objects can be damaged, but they do heal minor damage the same way a human can heal a bruise or scratch. So a scrape on a car disappears automatically after some time, or a frayed edge on a piece of clothing. Objects do not get destroyed by simple wear and tear. They can however be destroyed by large enough damage, so a car crash could kill a car-object, hence why Ford talked Rick out of being a driven car. Some damages are big enough not to kill but still require "medical" attention to properly heal as they wouldn't on their own, such as a flar tire. > How can they have kids? Sorry, my mind just goes to wondering about how a life like that would work. I know one guy had some sperm preserved but what if you want kids after you are objectified? How do explain to a kid that “well he’s a tie but he’s your dad”? I'm fairly sure explaining this to kids is the easiest part. Children are very accepting of unusual familial constructs because these constructs are only unusual for us because we didn't grow up with them. An object's owner is usually involved in raising the kid, though in some cases a nanny is provided. @[amul](/user/show/10003734) Mmh, that's not entirely true. Yes, objects are treated as the kind of item they are turned into, but they are still people. There are laws against certain kinds of abuse, so an owner can't just do anything with them. They still have basic 'human' rights. The idea of the whole process was to reduce the physical needs of the human population by turning them into things that do not need to eat or drink and require less housing, it wasn't to actually strip them of their personhood. As for being left to rot, there's solutions I considered, but this is something I could see myself writing in a future installment, so no spoilers, hehe.

@[Cockatrice](/user/show/620105) You're right, after re-reading the first story that is all in there as world building details. I think the bad "date" with the business manager made a stronger impression though so that's what stuck with me. It might be generally socially unacceptable to stick an object-person in a drawer and ignore them, but clearly that's exactly what some owners do.
