Good afternoon, all.

If we have not yet become acquainted, then please, allow me to introduce myself. I am Sebastian Michaelis, another recently arrived Outsider, and most pertinent for why I make this address today, recently employed on LILITH’s base here in Neo-Tokyo. My official title is the kitchen manager for the cafeteria, but as needs must, I have taken on some additional responsibilities. I may not be in service to my lord here, but I still feel it important to best offer my skill as a butler.

First, on matters of food.

I am attempting to improve the menu on offer in the cafeteria, and I hope that anyone that has stopped by to try the improved offerings in recent weeks has enjoyed them. However, I would very much like to expand such offerings. If there is a particular dish that you find yourself missing, please, do let me know. I will endeavor to recreate it with your assistance, though I can make no guarantees. If you have a recipe I can follow, all the better.

Second, on matters of facility maintenance.

While our automated services are adequate, I do believe that the order and cleanliness of the base could be improved. Thus, the additional responsibilities I have taken on. If you find any part of the base in disrepair or would perhaps like your personal quarters cleaned regularly, please let me know. It would be my pleasure to do so, as a tidy home makes for happier people.

If you would like a full list of services I offer, I would be glad to provide it. I simply fear that this is already a rather long announcement.

Thank you very much for your attention. Do have a wonderful day.

- Sebastian Michaelis

From the time I have spent with him, I can definitely conclude that Sebastian is not a liar.

[hitokiller]

if you say so

[redsoil]

Why would he lie about any of this? It is all service work.

[hitokiller]

why would that one guy lie about that pear?
i dunno
just to be an asshole
but, ... you got a point
i guess it's 'cause i don't see him askin' for money

1/2 PRIVATE

[redsoil]

Would paying him back make you feel better?

Try kitty-themed memorabilia.

PRIVATE

[hitokiller]

nah
i'm okay with free long as there's no catch

( cat stuff... )

[redsoil]

[ you really are a grungy little man, izou ] Hee hee. I do not understand why some people are so fixated on reciprocity.

I have missed having someone at my beck and call! For beings referred to as Servants, you and Ereshkigal and Tezcatlipoca are POOR ones!

[hitokiller]

( wh— )

who're you callin' poor
not like i WANTED to be called a "servant"
it's just a title

[redsoil]

So, you could choose to do something else?

NOT PRIVATE

[redsoil]

WAIT SAMPO LIED ABOUT THE PEAR???????????

[wheft]

Fucking knew it

[ don't mind her she's just lurking ]

[redsoil]

why would he lie to me about something so fun

[wheft]

It was too good to be true. He obviously wanted to stir some drama.

Anyway, you don't need to worry about that. Beauty is subjective anyway.

[redsoil]

I mean, I had fun with the drama!

Still, I thought even a print-out picture would be a fun reward. He didn't even have that??

[ actually beauty is OBJECTIVE and tezcatlipoca should have won ]

[wheft]

You're going to have to ask the big guy himself. The fact that he didn't even offer a consolation prize should be enough to raise a complaint.

PRIVATE

[zauneyete]

Lying by omission is still lying, Set. Why are you making this easier for him?

PRIVATE

[redsoil]

What is being omitted, Silco?

PRIVATE

[zauneyete]

Oh, I don't know. How about what he is? How about what he can do? That is lying by omission.

He may be offering his services now, but what about when he slips someone in under the radar, and starts doing what he always does? Calling him "not a liar" disregards the fact that he will not tell the truth.

[ HE's SO MAD!!!!!!!! ]

PRIVATE ALL THE WAY.

[redsoil]

LILITH already outed him as a demon.

There is also an onus to be placed on those who deliberately choose not to question what has been offered to them. It is not solely his responsibility to tell-all. If one does not ask the proper questions, it is not him simply lying by omission. It is their failure to show caution.

Besides, lying by omission requires a conversation to revolve around the nature of his being. They are just talking about his learned skills. Are you about to champion people, Silco? You?

1/2

[zauneyete]

And how many people do you think have paid attention to that? I can't say it, and you know they will forget it soon enough.

dangit there we go sowwy christy for the double notifs

[zauneyete]

[ SET HE'S JUST MAD!!!!!!!! Sebastian's already going to have everyone hanging on his every word without helping him.

Is this because of his personality and also his unwillingness to work with others?

Yes. ]

I'm not about to champion these fools, don't worry. I just think we should not be giving Sebastian the extra... leg up as it was. Why not make it a little harder, actually work to bring them around to their side.

Why aren't we giving him a proper challenge? Isn't that enrichment for him?

[redsoil]

That is their problem, then. If they forget, they deserve what they get if they do not tread cautiously.

[ sorry that your personality is awful and sebastian oozes charisma buddy ]

Oh! I am giving him a challenge in my own time, since I do not like to share. Do you want to challenge him, too? I bet if you are a little more patient and circumspect, you will find a way to do it that does not make you look like a man with a vendetta. Do you want me to teach you, this time? We can be allies for our own pleasure!

[zauneyete]

[

But... ]

Did you know I plotted revenge on Vander for a decade? Years of careful plotting and orchestrating.

But I knew him, I knew the lanes, as well as the back of my hand. Sebastian is not so predictable.

So yes, Set, let's see what you can teach this old man. We can do anything if we are united, now can't we? Kenos would not have survived us.
