The Art of Honesty, Tuesday 4th Period

[jedigrammarians]

Aphra showed up to class late. And very visibly hungover. Things were clearly off to a great start.

She chugged back her caf before speaking. "Look, there are three options here. Either you want to learn to lie, which you're gonna, you missed the part where the name of the class is ironic, so it sucks to be you, or there was a paperwork error and it really sucks to be you.

"I don't really want to be here today, and I doubt most of you do either, so I'll be quick. Honesty is great in principle, but it doesn't work because people. People are jerks, people's feelings get hurt, people really don't like it when you point out they've karked something up or they're wrong. Lies help smooth things out, lies protect you, especially when you come from the kind of galaxy I do, lies are useful. You just have to know how to use them right.

"It's the first class, so introduce yourselves to each other. Lie. But not about everything. See if you can figure out which is which. But, you know, quietly."

Such belief in people.

Yeah, guess who, from her increasingly bewildered and concerned expression, had absolutely missed out on the irony in the class name? And kind of wanted to sink down in her seat and disappear?

Yup. You could absolutely bet that Muzu had missed any sense of irony about this class when he chose it for this semester's educational prospects, and Sidon was just going to look a little bit uncomfortable with it, though he really wasn't too terribly surprised by it, considering his last class with Doctor Aphra.

He supposed, though, at least with this one, since she was teaching it by herself, there would be significantly less bickering between instructors.

Well, Theron wasn't at all surprised by this, because he was a little shit.

Manfred was relieved he had not misinterpreted the irony in the class name, but he felt kind of bad for anyone who had. Some people were such marks.
