Carl-E:
This is amazing - Sven's got a pretty high level of self-awareness.
"If you were actually into me, I could get you to push your boundaries, and you'd wind up even more into me!" is just such an amazing ... confession, really. In a "how I do it" kind of way.
Kinda scarey, really. I mean, we all know he's good, but when a person's good at what they do, they often don't really know what it is that makes them so good. Sven's spent some serious thought on how to manipulate people, which is probably why some folk think he's such a douche.
Mad Cat:
But, but, but... I LIKE CORGIS!
They're cute and soft and cuddly and come when you call them. I don't want them compared to rats OR cooked and eaten in restaurants.
Border Reiver:
Ladies and Gentlemen, Her Majesty the Queen!
However, your Majesty, the Corgi can be delicious when properly prepared with slow roasting, a good chili sauce and some kimchi. Just saying - your pack could feed a small village as well.

"Victorious warriors win first and then go to war, while defeated warriors go to war first and then seek to win."
It is not widely known, but Sun Tzu was quite the ladies man. His lost work "The Art Of Dating" was very influential, but Kong Fuzi (who was a spotty nerd and very awkward around girls) famously dissed it in his Analects: "More like The Art Of Douching, amirite?"

--- Quote from: Tergon on 29 Sep 2010, 01:49 ---Hanners outright asks Sven what he'd be doing if he was trying to get somewhere with her, and not only does he give her an (apparently) honest answer, but he then confirms he's not planning on doing so. Which says two things: Sven has no illusions that he's a not manipulator, but doesn't seem to want to be one any more.
--- End quote ---
Or...this is meta-manipulation.
Did anyone notice Sven called himself (or rather, had an imaginary foe, I mean date, call him) a "boy" in there?
For all his self-awareness, does he even realize he doesn't need fake ID anymore?
