Charming.

Any less tact and it would have come with counter.

So have I, but my world seems to be universally bad at naming things.

[voiingyurshitup.livejournal.com]

Eh, I think it's a thing all worlds have in common. No imagination.

At least it generally gets the point across.

Not exactly the first thing I'd want someone to inquire about upon meeting me, though. Takes away all the fun of revealing it later.

[voiingyurshitup.livejournal.com]

But it takes out the fun of guessing.

That's true. Decreases the shock-value and then it's just 'Oh hey, you're a murderer, what-the-hell-ever' instead of the screaming in fear and traumatizing them for life and having them question their sanity for ever talking to you. There's really no fun in things if you can't do that.

Oh, I hope I didn't ruin the surprise for you, then. [a snicker] I've got several other titles, if guessing games are your forté.

Exactly. It's an excellent threat when they don't see it coming. Though, with how accepting everyone is around here, I could probably tell the entire castle, and the entire thing would blow over in a week so long as I don't threaten any of the actual residents.

It wasn't a surprise. And not really.

But threatening is where it really gets fun. Freaked out people do stupid shit, and more often then not, it's hilarious to watch.

And then you'd lose your edge. People'd know what you're capable of and they'd relax a little because they think they know. If you have something else up your sleeve, it'd probably make it more entertaining in the end, though.
