[ Kaz didn't often go on the Network, or rather he didn't show his face on it very often. At the moment he's using it selfie-style and he looks mostly neutral. Or just bored. ]

As far as secrets go it's not very much of one. Or rather it doesn't count as a great of a secret here. In October I had an...interesting way of seeing into people. I encountered someone that has tried his best to conceal his nature but you can decide for yourself if he has been successful. I warned Felwinter that while it might not be much of a secret, it wouldn't be a secret that he was a robot if he didn't take me seriously.

[ Kaz shrugged. ]

And now it isn't.

...so you're just outing people's personal secrets now?

Video

[demjiin]

Usually, I don't. But this was different in that I gave plenty of warning, and as I said, it wasn't much of a secret.

[Felwinter will remember this.]

[wearingthestars]

Oh, so it's okay to blackmail people as long as you give them plenty of warning? I see.

[ Jon does not look impressed. ]

And why should he take you seriously?

But more importantly, shall we discuss things you do not wish to be publicly known next?

[demjiin]

Take me seriously? No, why would anyone do that? I promised that his secret would not be a secret anymore and this is just carrying through on that.

Why John is this you threatening me?

[demjiin]

[ Oh Billy if only you knew. ]

I wouldn't call it blackmail since I am not actually using it right now. A secret isn't like coin, it loses value in the speaking.

[wearingthestars]

Then why do it? What's the point aside from hurting someone? What do you get out of this?

[demjiin]

Because I promised I would. And this has very little value, if any, to me

[ Also because it's a relatively minor risk that has more benefit as a cautionary tale to those that Kaz does business with in the future. ]

I have little to nothing to gain from a publicly shared secret.

[beholding_archivist]

Do you feel threatened?

[wearingthestars]

Then why do it??

[demjiin]

Because then I'm in a better position to bargain.

[ Sometimes you have to be willing to shoot the hostage. Better for business if Billy thought Kaz was cruel. ]

[wearingthestars]

I think all you've managed to do is advertise what kind of person you really are.

[demjiin]

By you? Often.

[ Kaz feels threatened most of the time around Jon. Or more accurately he is just afraid. And because he can acknowledge that fear, he is usually trying to overshadow it with anger. ]

[demjiin]

I'm not exactly pleased to have to be doing this, but since I have so few resources in Temba I had to resort to a publicly revealed secret.

[wearingthestars]

Had to.

Seriously man? A few things.

One: Serious dick move.
Two: Big Whoop.
Three: Why the fuck are you such a dick?

[Well, this was going to be an interesting video, given Reeve was trying to take the comm away from Mini, who was dragging at it to hold on because it was the cat that was mostly yelling here.]

Oy ya bloody punk why ya gotta go and mess with Sirrah Felwinter like tha? Ya got somethin’ against those like him an’ Cayde an’ meh? An’ who arh ya to go an’ act like ya gotta right ta go an’ talk about someone else? Wha makes ya so important an’ makes ya feel so much like ya can give up things he ain’t wan said?

[At last Reeve wrestles the device from Mini, and the man’s face is the main display on the video.]

I would beg forgiveness for my companion’s behavior, but he is not incorrect. Perhaps his secret is not a surprise to all. However that does not mean it was yours to give, no matter what you may or may not have told him or threatened him with before. Men who would use such things as one would wish to keep private against them, when that secret holds no harm to any other, are quite vile.

Why'd he hide the fact that he's a robot?

[beholding_archivist]

Oh?

[ Jon looks surprised for a moment, but that expression easily settles into a rather pleased one. ]

Thank you.

[ And know what? He will end the conversation right there. ]

[demjiin]

...It may be that you have misunderstood me. I am not by nature a 'nice person'. Granted I'm not by nature a 'mean person' either. I look at all interactions as a business, with costs tallied with returns. And this had fewer and fewer returns the longer it stayed secret. Because I have so few resources in Temba, I judged that this secret was not worth keeping so I released it.

1: I'd say sorry but I'm not that good of a liar
2: That's what I thought
3: Maybe because I wasn't hugged enough as a child

Re: Text

[doubled_speed]

bullshit on the hugging mattering.

I was NEVER hugged as a child and I don't fucking out people.

[wearingthestars]

No, I can see that you're not a nice person. Very clearly now, thank you. And you should know I don't take well to bullies anymore. So if you're planning on 'releasing' any more secrets, just know I'm watching.
