We haven't known each other long, but I've seen smiles like that before.

And I know better than to trust them.

[lieabilities]

I'm quite glad to hear that. You really shouldn't trust a conman.

[softstoneheart]

Oh, that's what you are? Bold of you to just admit it.

But I appreciate the warning.

[lieabilities]

What sort of conman would I be if I wasn't honest with my intentions?

[softstoneheart]

Then what's your intention? To win Game 52?

[lieabilities]

To enjoy myself.

[softstoneheart]

That can mean anything. Like, for me, it's eating sweets at the cafes, playing with the bunnies and racking up high scores at the arcade.

[lieabilities]

I'm not a terribly complicated person. Some days, enjoying myself is as simple as purchasing a new bottle of wine.

[softstoneheart]

Then what do you do when the good stuff is free?

[lieabilities]

Indulge myself in comparisons in order to find a new favorite.

[softstoneheart]

Like a tier list?

[lieabilities]

Precisely. It's a rare occasion so I may as well take full advantage of it to try all I can.

[softstoneheart]

Are you busy at home?

[lieabilities]

Oh terribly so. A conman's life is never one of rest.

[softstoneheart]

Why do it? The challenge?

[lieabilities]

The pay and benefits are quite nice as well.

[softstoneheart]

[ huffs a laugh into her drink. That's a good joke. ]

Are conmen unionized too?

[lieabilities]

Not at all, but we're quite good negotiators.

[softstoneheart]

Let's say I wanna quit my job: What're the benefits?

[lieabilities]

Of being a conman? Well, you get to set your own hours of course.

[softstoneheart]

Is there a quota? How stable is it?

[lieabilities]

Your quota is your own personal desires. As for stability...

Well, so long as there are people with money, there are people to con.

[softstoneheart]

But if you're not working, you don't get anything, right?

[lieabilities]

Correct.

[softstoneheart]

[ She grumbles into her glass, like someone's asked her to write some formal business letter. She hates writing formal business letters. ]

That's not stable at all...
