All that... A LIE?! YOU BETRAYED US!!
Are you sure this is a true story?
Do you at least like Fallout? RPG? Anime? Why did you choose specifically forums like these? Why roleplaying like that in these boards? Just curious.

Heh... okay, I've had a bit of trouble wrapping my head around your sense of humor in the past, TVD... Twinkie seems to have gotten it, and I think that I half did, but since no one else has asked, I'm gonna have to come right out and say it: this is a joke, right? Normally, I would've waited to see where you took it, but it appears that events have drawn you away for the past couple of days, and curiousity is killing my cat.
I can't take it anymore. I have a lot to say.
When I sat down and read Welsh's post I realised I had to speak out. Even without his hard accusations I realise my last story told too much to be left as a funny incident since those unlike the others told of me already understanding the underlying motives and willingly turning away from sexual opportunities. I had to tell of the decision I made years ago.
It wasn't going to be easy. The main reason being that my preference wasn't "decided" so much as "learned" over a long course of time and many things occurring many of which I didn't experience directly.
At the time I thought it was so ridiculous to mention that I would make about as much sense as saying I was some sort of superhero who was above such things. In fact with my supposed "chivalry" and my almost impeccable manners I laughed at the very thought of me being some sort of British nobility. Thats when I got a wild idea.
Why not make myself feel better with a little practical joke? I'll tell everyone I'm an agent in Her Majesty's Secret Service. Of course no one will believe it since the idea's lame beyond belief. Yet everyone's gotten use to my bad sense of humor so we'll all have a laugh before I have to confess.
In one of the most
amazing incidents in my whole life the charade worked. So far no one's challenged my story and quite a few have acted under the idea of it being 100% true.
I laughed and cried. For once my humor was taken honestly and I was genuinely funny instead of lame. Yet now that it was being taken for truth...it wasn't a practical joke to laugh at, but something serious that I had to stop. I notice that hardly anyone has responded. At first I thought they were thinking my story false, but if they did they would happily try to poke holes in it. When no one did it made me think they were
afraid it was true.
Which brings me to my next point. Since it was taken for truth and not a joke the "lie" of British Spy story can't be ignored as something funny and instead really be a "lie" since it was taken seriously. I wish my masquerade had failed. I had no intentions of it's success.
I'd like to take this opportunity to thank Mikey who when I presented the idea was able to write a story post which since it was in someone elses words came out as believable. My post with the story was written by him. The "British Spy" one not the "Relationship Hilarity" ones. You can thank him for his incredible literary talents if you found it believable.
As for me, I hope my one lie in all the time I've been honest can be understood to be an accident. It was supposed to be a joke since no one should have believed it.
Don't let it make you doubt the veracity of my other stories. I assure you they are accurate and true to the best of my ability.
I end this apologizing for those that took it truthfully and for those who actually felt it was a joke. I should never have tried to play with something so serious.
I mean come now.
I'm a secret agent? I'm The Vault Dweller. No one else.
Sincerely,
The Vault Dweller
