I used to run a multi-million dollar research facility.
I have a large family, due to having five siblings, as well as two children of my own.
I met a man who was missing all five senses, but could speak.

[blessedmaiden]

How would that man even function? I call the third a lie.

[einselective]

It might be generous calling him a 'man', but no, that's unfortunately very real. He claimed he saw the world with... other senses. [And from Marian's tone of voice, she clearly didn't enjoy the encounter with this individual.]

[aroundthecoroner]

Uh, the second one? As the lie.

[He hid his red herring in a family thing, so why not?]

[einselective]

It's that obvious?

[aroundthecoroner]

Oh, uh. I didn't mean anything by it. I just figured you snuck something in there, like that you actually have seven siblings, or just one kid.

That's what I did. Kind of.

[einselective]

...no. It's rather the exact opposite in this case.

[aroundthecoroner]

[... oh...]

Right. Uh. Sorry?

[tongueamok]

There is no possible way you have children.

[einselective]

...that's correct. Is it that unthinkable?

[tongueamok]

You haven't the temperament for them in any way.

[einselective]

I suppose you think that you do?

[tongueamok]

Oh, absolutely not. I'd prefer to keep children as far away from me as possible. They get their grubby hands all over everything.

[einselective]

I fail to see how you'd have any idea about what exactly is required, then.

[tongueamok]

Observation of people who are good with children tells me that they require a finesse and patience neither you, nor I, likely possess.

[lifetothefullest]

I'm pretty certain the second is the lie, although I'm more curious about the third.

[einselective]

That's correct. As Carlisle said, I certainly don't have the temperament for them. [Which is said, frankly, with enough of a snide cant to her words that it's hard to make out quite what she actually thinks about the idea.]

In regards to the third, however... the less said, the better.

[lifetothefullest]

It was actually the part about having a large family and siblings that I found more unlikely. People who aren't suited to have children still end up with them more often than they should.

[At least she seems aware of not having the right temperament for them, though he does notice that odd tone.]

Why is that?

[einselective]

[Talking about the Emissary of Void might actually be slightly better than sidetracking into family discussions, although not by much.]

Because everything about him was trouble, and we don't need the parasites getting any new ideas about getting slick new acts and becoming 'chummy' with regular people.
