verydistinct[For once, the PCD turns on when 'Kenneth' intended it to. When he does, he's leaning back against the couch in his house and looking more serious than the times people have talked to him over the network.]
I generally don't do this kind of thing, but all this lying is starting to get to mefor some reason. My name's not Kenneth Crane, and I'm not a country singer. I'm Eliot Spencer; a... retrieval specialist that's part of this pro bono team. The guitar thing?
[He reaches off camera, grabbing the instrument by the neck and showing it on camera. After tossing it to spin, catching it before it hits anything, he puts it back off to the side.]
Our client was hurt and deprived of a lot of things by a record executive. To even things out, we started what's called a Fiddle Game; a con. So everything was part of an alias, keeping in with the role. I kept with it and lied because I've made a lot of enemies. So it was better that I kept the alias in case some of those enemies actually showed up.
Anyway, I'm sorry about the deception. I'm a man of my word though, so everything offered still stands. Lessons and other services are still open as long as you're okay with that.
...
That's all.
[Yeah, just... turning off the feed now.]
[[Evented Eliot is now extremely open, honest and prone to feeling a little guilty and charitable. Take advantage! Also if you haven't filled it out, here's a permission post for his observational skills.]]

Date: 2011-09-25 05:15 pm (UTC)I'm not saying the event brought about the guilt, but the acting on it. Normally I'd just bear with it like everything else. That's how it works though; these events make people do things. Like how you're acting like your cousin.
Thing is... I never asked for anyone's trust. I'm just stuck with this honesty thing. Most likely you can ask me anything this week and I'll answer truthfully.
[And he hates the event for this. Eliot recognizes the change, and knows he won't do anything about it.]

Date: 2011-09-25 06:03 pm (UTC)[Her eyes narrow.]
This week. Meaning that next week, when the event has left us, you will return to lying and hiding your identity? You will think of some new story to spin?

Date: 2011-09-25 06:30 pm (UTC)[Shakes head, running a hand through his hair.]
It doesn't work like that. What I did will really piss me off come next week, but this post comes with consequences that can't be changed. I'll just have to live with the fact that everyone knows I lied about my name and profession. Aside from people feeling betrayed, that just means I have less time and defenses if someone bad from my world comes looking for me. Seeing as I'm the paranoid type, while I liked that bit of security, overall it doesn't change much.

Date: 2011-09-25 06:48 pm (UTC)And yet you have done it, knowing it will upset you next week. Foolish. You could refrain from using your little device until the urge to speak passed, and we would have been none the wiser.
[She shakes her head.]
I suppose I must thank you for being so foolish. It has taught me not to trust you.

Date: 2011-09-25 10:24 pm (UTC)[At least someone's accepted that it's just a name and nothing important he's lied about.]
I can actually handle myself. It's the paranoia, for many different reasons, that it's important to buy time to plan by going around with an alias. If someone showed up and asked for me, those that I know wouldn't be able to show they had a connection to me. That means it takes longer for the enemy to realize I'm around, and they don't know there's anyone connected to me to use as bait.

Date: 2011-09-25 11:46 pm (UTC)[Exactly his point. Out of everything, titles are nothing.]
You won't have to be suspicious of everyone and everything, Nepeta. Telling me is a good move, but if it does happen, don't be too quick to dismiss their questions. Act like it really was the name of a person you never heard of before.
