[two minutes later ... ]

ALL OF THAT IS A SLANDEROUS LIE.

... Especially the last part.

[ ... yeah, like anyone is going to believe that]

Oh, Shawn. =\

I really am good at what I do. I wouldn't have solved as many cases as I have if I wasn't.

And here, I actually am psychic. So it isn't false advertising.

You don't owe me an explanation Shawn.

I miss my Dad too.

[there's a long pause on that one, and ... while he's being honest, under lock and key]

We don't even get along, really. My mom used to say it was because we're too much alike or whatever, but

I've been here a year. I haven't seen him in a year. And I don't think I'll ever see him again.

But... here you really are?

pwnspatrickjane August 22 2011, 01:33:57 UTC

It's my Rift ability. I'm precognitive.

descendent August 22 2011, 03:32:47 UTC

I can't believe you'd lie about that.

pwnspatrickjane August 22 2011, 03:56:42 UTC

I ... didn't do it to scam people.

[a long pause]

My dad wanted me to be a cop, like him. So he taught me how to read people, how to look for clues, but then I screwed things up in me actually being able to become a cop (mostly to spite him) and so I started calling anonymous tips off what I could read off people on the news.

Eventually it got me in trouble. They pulled me in, thinking that my tip was good because I had inside information, and were trying to question me about the robbery. Didn't help the fact that I could call that the detective doing the questioning and his partner were sleeping together a mile away either. They got pissed off so ... I just claimed I was psychic, as a way to try and get me out of it.

I proved it with the guy I was sitting next to in the bullpen of the station, and ... they started paying me to close cases for them. I just went with the lie.

For what it's worth, I think that in this case, the ends kind of justify the means.

pwnspatrickjane August 22 2011, 02:11:30 UTC

I have a feeling that my coworkers back home won't agree with you.

But thanks.

Wait

You lie to help people?

locked } pwnspatrickjane August 23 2011, 19:59:07 UTC

I don't lie

I lie about me. I don't lie about the facts of the case.

locked } ohshiny_tomatos August 24 2011, 03:34:10 UTC

That's what I meant though. Lying to help people isn't a bad thing.

locked } pwnspatrickjane August 24 2011, 20:41:18 UTC

It's not?
