I'm not sure this will be of much help now, but a preempt does worlds of good in this situation. A 20 second conversation like -- "I feel like you're the type of person who won't blab all over town about stuff, and in fact, doesn't tell anybody anything about their personal life. Right?", early on in the courtship, often works wonders. At least, it did when I was still in the game.

Maybe you can try it now? Have a sit-down with ex-sec. Tell her you're going to try to get Summer to go for it, but as a condition, you want to make sure that she keeps her mouth shut about it, if it happens, and as a matter of fact, I hope and trust that you're not the type to tell anybody what you've found out. Are we cool?

You might remind her of the promise she made in the bar.

Just a thought. It's no lock, but I think people are more loath to spill if they're promised somebody explicitly that they won't, even if a normal person would think that such a promise should go unsaid.

I am not really sure what I am either, I just hoped to hang around long enough to get sloppy seconds on one of T's sisters.

On what did you base your decision to choose that Avatar? I don't get how it works with the theme.

How can you be first when I clearly predate you?

Seriously. It freaks me out when you're all here at the same time.

Until the Summer says Hell No, and the Ex-sec's internal Failure of Performance excuse kicks in.

I am first in my Fief and a lateral to you. At least I bear some Hank like qualtities . You are just a cute name and a so-so idea.

One cannot sock on moniker alone. Even if the moniker were amusing, which it is not (I would have gone with Fucky McFuck), you still need content that captures the essence of em who you tribute. Please retire this sock immediately.
See, this is why Hank wants to claim me as a tribute as the moniker was his idea, as was the tribute sock. I, however, am not a sock.
I am me. Bad Monkey.

If that doesn't suit you, pm penske and he can tell you some details of what Bill clinton did to keep messes from spilling.

It may just be because of the wife and newborn waiting at home for you, but this is reading as Smarmiest to me right now. Maybe if you changed the avatar before posting this?
