1. I once made the British economy collapse
2. I have more hats than underpants
3. I have stabbed most of my love interests

[nothinglikefather]

1. I have crashed a train
2. I'm scared of fire
3. I've run amok in Buckingham Palace

[vosseeker]

The second one is the lie.

Why would you be frightened of fire?

[nothinglikefather]

[ KLAXON - WRONG ANSWER ]

I got trapped in one once. Building started collapsing around me. For us small squishy humans, that's a problem.

[vosseeker]

If you become frightened of everything that has caused you harm, you're going to live a very pitiful life...

[nothinglikefather]

I'm nit frightened of everything that causes me harm. Nothing else causes me harm and what the hell are you trying to imply?

[ defensive much Jacob?]

[vosseeker]

[ and Starscream never knows when to leave well enough alone ]

Nothing else causes you harm? That's a bold claim.

[nothinglikefather]

Alright, correction. I don't let anything else hurt me. Better?

[vosseeker]

[ #challengeaccepted ]

I suppose that remains to be seen.

[nothinglikefather]

Is that a threat?

[circumspector]

Jacob you can't mean the last one I know you'd never hurt Charles.

[nothinglikefather]

[ WRONG ANSWER ]

Charles is an exception to the rule.

[circumspector]

Jacob! I thought you said people don't use knives as flirting.

[nothinglikefather]

That's cute Angel.

2/2

[nothinglikefather]

Did I ever tell you about Roth and Pearl?

[circumspector]

No?

[nothinglikefather]

[ He pats the side of the bed, a sign for her to come and join him there. He doesn't much want to shout all this across their shared space.]

Let me... tell you a story about trust.

[circumspector]

[And off she trots, settling down next to him with a lean into his side.

She already doesn't like how this story was going. ]

[nothinglikefather]

[ Jacob gives her a moment to settle next to him, draping his arm around her and find her presence against his side comforting. He needs that, as he tries to gather his thoughts. Oh Pearl. She had been so defiant and brave, independent and intelligent. He had been so drawn to her.

If only everything hadn't gone to hell.]

Pearl Attaway had a omnibus company- a public carriage company- that was in direct competition with the Templar running London, Starrick. I offered to help her even the odds. She was charming and daring, she appreciated what I could do for her. She made me feel... that was valuable.

And I didn't mind helping her. She was beautiful, we drank in the back of her carriage and she told me her plans for the future, what she wanted for her company. I fell for her, for it, hook line and sinker.

It was later I found out she was Starrick's cousin. They were in it together, using me to consolidate their power and bring down every other omnibus company in London.

So I had to kill her.

[superposition]

What? You, commit random acts of violence? I'm sure you'd never.

[ and the sarcasm is so thick you could probably stab that, too! ]

[nothinglikefather]

I'll happily commit some more on your face Quibitch.

[abheirrant]

The first is the lie. The other two sound completely plausible for you.

[nothinglikefather]

[ KLAXON ]

No, sorry. I did actually do that.

[abheirrant]

I insist you tell me how.

[nothinglikefather]

It's a bit of a long story but... I had to break into the bank of England and kill the Manager who was lining his pockets and helping our enemy keep control of London. In the ensuing chaos some bastards nipped in, stole the printing plates and started making counterfeit pound notes.

I suppose both his death and the fake money flooding the city made everyone a little concerned about the state of the economy and there were strikes and a few small riots. And questions asked in parliament. That sort of thing. Took weeks for everything to get back to normal. My sister won't let me forget it.
