Denial.
Don't Even No I am Lying.
Most of the time I hate people. They're stupid. They find one thing that can make them money, and they hide it, protect it at all costs, keep it secret from everyone around them and use it for as long as they can. During that time they close themselves off, refusing to learn anything new. It's just a con really. Using the con on everyone they meet, even people using the same con in return, even themselves. There's not that many cons really, and they're not all that new or original, some have been around for hundreds, even thousands of years.
Is it perverse that I can see it? People conning themselves, other cons using the same con, different cons. Sometimes they notice, of course, give me strange looks, as if I've lost my mind, as if I live in a different dimention that they will never understand.
I accepted a terminal contract, killed someone for money and I'm talking to the person who hired me as he hands the creds, an anonymous account that will wipe itself in an hour, cease to exsist, whether I transfer the creds or not, as he refers to the "unfortunate incident."
Who is he kidding? Himself? Does he think that I believe that it was an "unfortunate incident?" and not cold blooded murder. Does it make it okay that he had someone murdered if he calls it an "unfortunate incident?" Will his friends and relatives think it's okay if was an "unfortunate incident." I made it look like an unfortunate accident per his request, and people were willing to believe in the coincidence, that his ships hull and his voidsuit failed at the same time. How often does that happen?
So, if he's coy and abstract, secretive or in denial, and he refers indirectly to something that is inherently evil, will you think less of him, because the evil that he does makes it evil that he is, and it's okay since he used a softer expression that seems not evil at all.
Wink, wink.
Who is he kidding, we're alone here
