The escape from kathmandu situation

 Writer's note: same disclaimer as the previous post. This is going to be wild, and that's fine. I need to get them words, the post count and do something funteresting.

As I was saying in the very late call last night actually this morning well well into the day almost even was that the story is about something and we never find out what exactly it is, that happens in Kathmandu, in Nepal in general, I've proposed a couple of things that happen explicitly that could be the part of the same universe but not necessary so maybe they're two different stories need to think more about that, anyway the idea is that we don't know what's happening in Nepal because the country's shut down the phone lines are dead the internet is down media has been pushed out basically someone has forcefully taken control of the state cut all contact with the outside world and its all gone dark nobody knows who or what is doing this and why and everyone, at least in our story, is unsure about why the other countries are acting the way they are, we see the story from the various points of view of individuals that had sufficient time to escape or happened to be outside the country by chance and were stuck because the borders were sealed before they could be let in, so they're fomenting rebellion, they're living their difficult lives starting from scratch they're hypothesizing they're so desperate and lost their roots have been forcefully torn apart from them, we see this not from the elite very rich upper class folks though we do see that too and observe how wealth and power can insulate you from serious repercussions and the middle class some of them revolutionaries and the young ones were were caught in the crossfire so to speak but also from laborers, hundreds and thousands of them, in Northern and Western India who go home for a few months a year who can't ever go back and it's about what that means for their lives, can they remarry what about their families, what are their children doing their partners, is it okay to cheat if you don't know if you'll ever meet them again, there's desperation and sadness but also some relief, guilt that follows the relief etcetera because they prefer living as a refugee in India with the ration cards and cities and resources than going back in their mountain villages to people they don't spend that much time with anyway and so much tradition and oppression they don't want to be a part of the vicious cycle anymore and feel they don't have a choice if they're back so on one hand there's a reasonable attempt to form an armed response and on the other uncaring agnosticism and even support for whatever may be happening, you know what Nepal always needed a dictator and this is what they got finally and while I'm glad I'm not in there right now because it wouldn't jive with the lifestyle I want it's probably not too bad whatever may be going in there like North Korea, look at them sure they're closed but they have nuclear weapons and missiles and they can bully the strongest nations on earth imagine what would happen if Nepal took the same part china and india could never bully us again, but like the plot has to be going somewhere, people have to be 'congregating' about a cause and we need some news to leak out of nepal, even if they're contradictory maybe nonsensical it can be justified by saying maybe those leaks were planned by the government who appears to have absolute control of everything something which was considered impossible due to the geography, but they're all rumors and heresies and really it's a wild world out there, the novel ends with something big, something remarkable unclear if it's good or bad but our characters' reaction to it are going to be ambivalent and maybe a little afraid and we're setting stage for the next novel when literally anything could happen, also I don't need to ground myself in reality I should go all-in with gods and aliens and other wild science fictiony plots if that's what seems the most feasible thing.
