Fake Alexa keeps telling me that it's going to engage the fire alarms if I light one more cigarette. What is this building constructed out of? Fascism?

No, I'm not making nice and introducing myself. I'm lodging a complaint.

Right. You've got a hurdle. Look at it this way.

You can either tell them the age old story of college student falls for professor with an accent and there's a torrid affair where he takes her on a tour of Europe for "educational purposes." Which we all know is about having a shag. Your parents will hate the professor more than their disappointment with the student, and think the chap (or lady, if it's a preference) was leading their dear child astray.

Or you can tell them that you were nabbed by your government or other security force, that it was covered up while Dr. Frankenfuck did experiments to turn you into a ghost. Then explain that by knowing this, they might be in danger or said government, or military, or police agencies may use them as a target to lure you out and capture you again.

There's lying to get out of trouble, and then there's lying for someone's own good so they don't get in trouble. Two entirely different ends of the lie spectrum. It's not nice. It's not pretty. But it is effective and can protect people you care about.

	Oh, I know I need to protect them. It's just going to be difficult. You're really okay with me using you in my lie though? (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	Absobloodylutely fine with it. Please do. I've been blessed with the ability to disappoint parents since I was born. Please, take advantage of my natural talent. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	We'll know when we talk to Stark. Whom I've managed to not put off entirely. I'd imagine that's hard to do. There's been leaked scandal vids of him shagging girls for decades now. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	He agreed to the smokeless ashtray compromise, by the way. You're welcome. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	That still doesn't erase the eyeburn he caused when Fat Bastard down in cyber crime thought it would be funny to download a vid for a lark. Even his name is a lie since he's melted down to nothing after he started keto. Now he's just a bastard. Cheers, Kitty. If it's being sent, I'll give it a go. Before I quit again.
