Lying 101, Monday Second Period

[tequila_squared]

"It's difficult to say where to start with lying effectively," Lito admitted. "It's not a step by step process, but rather a lot of things that you need to work on until they come naturally. But we'll start with: know your story. Even if you only have a split second to come up with it, you need to commit to it, then you need to remember it, and you need to not change it, because you'll get caught out. If, say, you go from my class to the bar, and then you don't want your parents to find out when you talk to them on the phone later, you might say, 'I was at the bakery,' but then tomorrow if you say, 'I was at the coffee shop,' your mother will notice. If you then remember you were supposed to be at the bakery and backtrack, 'I mean, I was at the bakery and then I went to the coffee shop,' that's even worse, so if you're caught on something like that you say, 'No, did I say coffee shop? I meant bakery, how silly of me,' and you stick to it. Any questions?" He waited, then said, "Good. Now. I'd like for everyone to refresh my memory, I'm afraid I've quite forgotten all your names and what you told me since last week..."

My name is still Elizabeth," Lucille said, ignoring the surname she had forgotten. "And I'm a pirate's daughter."

She had a vague idea about the rest, but hoped there wouldn't be too many questions.

"I really just can't believe you don't remember," Lottie said, terrible posh accent firmly in place, this time. "Really, it's the most unprofessional behavior I have ever seen. Clearly I am your Lordshipness Bono Treemont III."

Hey, she knew how to commit to a bit. Give or take a consonant.

"I told you last week, Jedi don't lie, we believe it's wrong," Face lied through his teeth.

Ada sighed and rubbed her temples as if Lito and the idea of lying was giving her a headache. "'M still Adeline," she drawled, her mama's Alabama accent in full force. "An' this still sure as heck ain't convent school, God have mercy on all our souls."
