What kind of bribes does he even take? It's not like you can offer him a Fancy Lad when he thinks the Institute's put nanobots in all food.

[ersatzeverything]

I'll just hint that I'll tell him secrets about the future. And when he holds up his ends of the deal, I'll make up some cryptic bullshit that'll keep him busy for weeks.

[capcious]

Do you ever bother to give him something true, just to see what he'd do with it?

[ersatzeverything]

Nah, the fun thing about telling the truth sometimes is people thinking I'm lying when I'm not, and me knowing that for a second they held something real and didn't realize it. But Tom believes every crazy thing I say so telling him a true crazy thing just wouldn't have much sparkle.

[Of course, Deacon might be lying about that.]

[capcious]

I suppose you have a point.

I think my favorite part is how I can't tell if this is actually a useful look into how you think about things or not, [Riley jokes.]

[ersatzeverything]

It probably isn't. Inconsistency is my middle name. Actually it's Bruce, but, shhhh, don't tell anyone.

[capcious]

As someone who actually has half a hope of knowing either way, I can confirm that yes, it is useful.

[Riley laughs.] That inspires a lot of confidence.

It's the best you're going to get.
