[ Sometimes you just have to throw wild thoughts out into the...wild. ]

Good evening there boys and gals and non-binary pals. I've not made much use of this yet which is strange because the sound of my own voice is kind of a soothing thing at this point as egotistical as that might sound -- it's not.

I come to you with a very important question of grave importance.

What secret conspiracy would you like to start?

Now, this might seem like a simple question but really. A good conspiracy could get you anywhere or nowhere. Choose your path carefully!

[lootsnshoots]

Nice try, but I won't reveal my secret conspiracy that easily.

[sassydadfriend]

Oh? Do you need some incentive?

[lootsnshoots]

If by "incentive" you mean "bribe," well I sure hope you got somethin' real special up your sleeve to tempt me.

[sassydadfriend]

They're the same thing aren't they? What sort of thing would it take?

[lootsnshoots]

I can't be bought. My secrets have secrets and I'll take 'em to my grave. But hey, if anyone wants to test my morals I'm always super appreciative of a nice gun.

[sassydadfriend]

Well if I got you a nice gun and didn't get anything back for it then that'd just be a waste of my time and limited resources.

[lootsnshoots]

And so my secrets say secrets. Just as planned.

[prophesiedone]

Are you actually expecting truthful answers to this? [Because this is not how secret conspiracies work.]

[sassydadfriend]

Not exactly.

[Audio]

[snowsparksjr]

[The voice is that of a teenage boy, equal parts curious and disdainful.]

Is this a game?

[sassydadfriend]

Not exactly, no.

[snowsparksjr]

If it isn't a game, people aren't going to tell you about real conspiracies. You can try talking to my uncle, though. He's good at them. [His bossy, matter-of-fact tone makes it hard to tell whether this is a burn.]

[dazzlingdream]

Are you searching for me, Jin Ling? [Who are you gonna call? Your psychotic uncle, that's who!

Also please talk to him.]

[sassydadfriend]

You never know what people will let slip or are dying to talk about if given half a chance.

[snowsparksjr]

Sounds like you’re an opportunist and too stupid or too lazy to do anything yourself.

What are non-binary pals?

[sassydadfriend]

[ Sammy just laughs. He's been called worse and on the air of his radio show back home no less. ]

You're seriously asking?

[snowsparksjr]

Yes. The translator spell they put in our blood doesn't make any sense for those words. I don't think we have an equivalent in our language. Not-double casual friends? What does that mean?

[sassydadfriend]

[ Well, this is going to be a treat... ]

It means that the person doesn't solely identify with being female or male basically.

[snowsparksjr]

[ ...

...........

His face scrunches with confusion as he tries to make sense of this. It takes some time to process.]

Oh, like a eunuch.

[sassydadfriend]

Uhm...No, not really that? It's more about a person's identity than their genitalia.

[ God, this conversation is worse than some of the ones he's had with Ben. ]

Cw; homophobia

[snowsparksjr]

[ Further confusion follows until Jin Ling manages to put some things together. He knows about cross-dressers and cut-sleeves, and some of the things he knows about those topics can be extrapolated to fit. ]

So... for people who don’t fit. Because they’re cross-dressers or perverts.

[ He’s... trying. ]

[sassydadfriend]

[ Jack in the box Jesus... ]

Cross-dressers or perverts? No, that's not it at all.

[snowsparksjr]

Then explain better!!

[He's trying to understand, but he doesn't have the right cultural context for it, and now he's getting frustrated.]

[sassydadfriend]

It's about a person's gender identity. Some people don't identify fully with the binary system of male and female as the only options. It's a spectrum.

[Audio]

[dazzlingdream]

These are all theoretical, yes? [He can play with theories. He needs to stay far away from realities.]

Re: [Audio]

[sassydadfriend]

They can be.

[Audio]

[dazzlingdream]

I think that would be best.

Let us begin. What sort of goals do you have in mind?

[sassydadfriend]

Curiosity mostly but I'm a conspiracy theory reporter here and so perhaps finding a lead.

[ It's a harder job than just doing a late night talk show on AM radio. ]

[dazzlingdream]

Might I suggest looking into the places where violence is present? Someone could be at the root of it. A puppeteer of sorts.

[sassydadfriend]

That is possible though sounds a bit dangerous. [ he’s used it to the relative safety of a studio, excuse him. ]

[dazzlingdream]

Conspiracies are dangerous. The more you know, the less time you have to live.

[sassydadfriend]

That’s a paranoid thought.

[dazzlingdream]

You might be prepared for this topic.

[sassydadfriend]

I'd like to think I'm prepared for anything at this point.

[bridalrose]

I'm not sure... Is there a big difference between a conspiracy and a purposefully-spread rumor?

[sassydadfriend]

It's mostly semantics, I suppose. All squares are rectangles but not all rectangles are squares.

[bridalrose]

Ah, I see.

[ Well, not really. ]

... I'm afraid I was never all that great with geometry. Probably with rumors, as well.

[sassydadfriend]

I'm not sure there's such a thing as being good at rumors anyway.
