1. I once nearly killed an entire city because they wouldn't do what I wanted fast enough.
2. I used to convince people I was a mystical voice in their head to make them do what I want.
3. I've never been sunburnt.

[vosseeker]

In preference of wanting the first and second ones to be true for sheer entertainment value, I will guess number three to be the lie.

[circumspector]

... You got it right.

[vosseeker]

What is my prize?

[circumspector]

Being thankful I'm not the person I used to be.

[vosseeker]

How is that a reward, if your past self sound much more interesting?

[circumspector]

You say that, but I helped the genocide an entire line of what you call Mechs and I call Robots. Down to one last of his entire production line.

I don't have a doubt which version of me is best.

[vosseeker]

[ a mutter ] If only half my lieutenants were that effective...

[circumspector]

When I want something done, I get it done. Death threats have a quick and immediate effect when all others fail. I can be efficent like that.

[vosseeker]

You see? Far more interesting.

[circumspector]

Sadly for you, it was a miserable life. I don't plan on going back to it soon.

[vosseeker]

I have known misery to be an acceptable trade off for power.

[circumspector]

Allow me to disagree. No, it isn't. I had power enough to make God choke, and I have never missed it for a single day. I'm free and I'm happy, now.

Granted, I don't think you'd of all people would like it very much, what I used to be able to do.

[vosseeker]

You are allowed your opinion as much as I am allowed mine.

[ Starscream laughs when Angel says he wouldn't like it very much. ]

If we are comparing statistics, I daresay your accumulated casualties might not measure up to mine. I have been at this far longer.

[circumspector]

[ Angel shakes her head slowly, not angry or sharp or biting back to his laughter. ] You misunderstand. I don't mean body count. I mean you, specifically, would not like it. You're inorganic life.

I could mind control your entire species, from the sound of it. That was my power, technology itself was bent to my will. No matter its sentience, it was mine to control, mind to wield.

[vosseeker]

[ Oh. Well, that was very different. Starscream makes a mental note not to torquer this one off, in that case. ]

Hn. An uncommon ability.

[circumspector]

It was.

[ Oh how that laughter is bitter. ]

I was one of a kind.

[abheirrant]

The second one sounds quite awful, if I'm honest.

[circumspector]

It was.

But it was the only way I could and was allowed to communicate with anyone. For years, no one bar three people even knew I was a person.

[abheirrant]

I'm sorry. Isolation is a unique brand of suffering, the depths of which many people cannot fathom.

[birdical]

What is sunburnt?

[circumspector]

You know when you touch something hot, and it burns your fingers?

Well, with long enough exposure, the sun does that to mammalian skin! So human or animals, they can get sunburned. It happens especially in people who are very pale.

[birdical]

I did not know this!

[Can SHE get sunburnt? Do all uprights get sunburnt? Has she been sunburnt before and didn't know? The possibilities are exciting.]

... Unless that is the lie, and you are trying to trick me.

[circumspector]

Well that would give the game away, wouldn't it?
