Daily Entertainment: Too Many Secrets Edition!

Good Morning, Milliways! Good thing that posting a DE doesn't require any voice, because mine is gone today! Stupid allergies!

Today's question: What is your character's deepest, darkest secret? Have they told anyone in -canon? Have they told anyone in-bar? Would there be anyone that they would tell?

Have at!
student_of_impossibility: (Never enough)

Henry: .......I refuse to say anything at this point until canon gives me information.

Lois: Deep, dark secrets are not so much her thing. Generally, in any given canon, she'll eventually have have a major secret--a Super Secret (TM), even--to keep, but it's not dark and... er... frankly a lot of people know it. Smallville flavor--and comics to some degree, especially pre-boot after a certain set of events--she tends to feel she failed Lucy, and Clark tends to know that one, but she doesn't talk about it much.

Tavi: That sound you're hearing is my hysterical laughter. Well. At this point, his deepest secret which currently only Kitai knows is that his crafting has started emerging (Araris learns quickly. Not counting the way he's helping people keep a secret from himself about his father's identity (simply by not asking, and it's an at least semi-conscious thing). In general, someone in canon knows most secrets Tavi has, because his plots tend to involve others--e.g., everyone who knows who his father is--or at least he can't keep it from Kitai.

Arguably the deepest secrets he'll ever have are that he is still afraid, he is still uncertain, he is often bone-weary and he is frequently horrified by the solutions his mind presents to him, many of which are ethically dubious enough he rejects them. However, he can't reject them all, and that he is capable of thinking of them sickens him.

So sometimes when no one will see--not even his mother or Kitai, who's bonded to his soul--and he's in a bad bind, Tavi cries. That's probably his deepest secret.
