Looking for a mechanic capable of fixing a prosthetic arm, altruistic introverts highly preferred, opportunistic assholes also acceptable.

Age irrelevant, but if you're a child I will comment on it.

[instabilitatem]

I thought it was very believable

[badlydisarmed]

Not only it's not remotely believable, it also makes you sound like a battered spouse.

[instabilitatem]

I'm not married to anyone.

[badlydisarmed]

Doesn't matter. First thing people think when someone explains an injury as falling down the stairs is "they were beat up by their husband."

[instabilitatem]

...

But I'm not married to anyone.

[badlydisarmed]

Forget it. My point is, anyone you told that specific lie to knows you lied.

But sticking to it is the best you can do for now.

[instabilitatem]

I have stuck to it. No one else except Hank knows any different.

[badlydisarmed]

Hank??????

[instabilitatem]

I know him from home. He doesn't want me to be harmed any more either.

[badlydisarmed]

What else did you tell Hank, Connor?

[instabilitatem]

He's trying to get me to deviate so I don't go forward with the mission.

[badlydisarmed]

[ Oh good. We're tentatively cool with Hank. ]

How's that going for you?

[instabilitatem]

Not well so far. But he's trying.

[badlydisarmed]

Likelihood of him telling everyone before we do anything?

[instabilitatem]

Very unlikely.

I encourage you talk with him on the subject.

[badlydisarmed]

Yeah, I'll get in touch.

Here I thought the security risk would be the weird forest elf guy.

[instabilitatem]

Do you consider me a security risk?

[badlydisarmed]

You think telling your buddy about our secret mission isn't one?

[instabilitatem]

Hank would be more of a risk if I didn't tell him anything.

[badlydisarmed]

Only because you're a terrible liar.

[instabilitatem]

I will ask you about any future lies I need to tell.

[badlydisarmed]

Good, I'll check-in with your friend and you might wanna tell your angry pet about him, just so we're all on the same page.

...

I think the elf guy's got his own thing going on, and also I'm pretty sure he doesn't like me, so we can just leave him be until we need him.

[instabilitatem]

Catdog doesn't need to know about Hank. He won't interfere.

Ithaqua does seem like an independent spirit.

[badlydisarmed]

Elaborate on why Catdog doesn't need to know.

[instabilitatem]

Because Hank doesn't want the mission to go through. We're in conflict.

Catdog would agree with Hank.
