Deception for Fun and Profit, Monday, Period 2

Bond had set set up a class room with the tables dragged out to the walls and the chairs set up in a circle in the empty space. As the students arrived he directed them to take a seat.

"Good morning," he said, once they'd all arrived. "I'm Professor Bond, and this is Deception for Fun and Profit. Now, assuming there were no paperwork errors, you're all in this class because for whatever reason you have an interest in fooling people, which means for our first class we're going to do the traditional introductions a bit differently.

"Normally this is the part were I'd ask you for your names, classes, and various other questions, usually why you're taking the class, or what experience you have related to the subject at hand. No, I'm still going to do that, but you're going to lie, then the rest of the class and I will attempt to catch you out. Though given everyone but me will be lying, I expect you to do it subtly, so as not to open yourself to counter-accusations."

He pointed at a random student. "You first. Name, class, what you did over the summer, and how you ended up in this class."

"Hey, I'm Cosima," Cosima said with a little wave. "I spent my summer here" --she figured half the room knew that, so it was hard to lie about -- "but I just got back from visiting my folks in Oregon."

That was also true except the Oregon part.

"And I don't know how I ended up here. I don't like liars."

This was true, but it was exactly why she had taken the class; she wanted to stop being gullible, and learning to lie herself seemed like a solid step on that path.

"You know," Cosima shrugged. stalling a bit. "It was okay. Rainy. Lots of hipsters."

"Not really," Cosima said crinkling her nose in thought. "I talked to people from my old school, but it gets a lot harder to talk to normal people after being here."

"Yeah, all my life," Cosima confirmed. "We're from Eugene."
