fandomhigh | Working Together: How Not to be an A-Hole - Monday

In the Danger Shop, Jack looked at the items and pictures on the holo of her desk, a little bemused at them. It was kind of adorable. Norman had brought in an actual burger. He could have taken a picture of the sign at Luke's but.. no, that was an actual burger right there on her desk next to a dandelion. She picked the two-day-old cold burger up and took a bite. Huh. Kind of like McDonald's for mealyness but with more flavor. Still bland. Meh. Calories were calories. She crunched on through the stale bun unbothered.

"So I see you guys did great with the scavenger hunt," she said around a mouthful, "After you finish the confidence course, today's goal is Two Truths and a Lie. With a twist. You'll still choose a captain. Instead of playing this one on one, you're going to round robin the f.. game. Each will take a turn telling two truths and one lie about themselves. The group as a whole has to decide which is the lie and turn it in to the team captain. Captain will keep track. Once everyone's gone, you'll tell whether or not your lie was discovered."

She nodded at the whiteboard on one wall. Then she nodded at the confidence course. "Have at."

[OCD is up. Please wait for Prompto to ping in for the confidence course thread.]

"Everyone lists their two truths and one lie. As a group, I want you to work on these one by one and see if you can process of elimination it to discover the lie. Captain will list which the group has decided is a lie on the whiteboard. After everyone's has been listed, you'll indicate yes or no whether yours was discovered."

Two truths and a lie, huh? This shouldn't be so difficult. Norman considered what he'd pick, thankful for something to throw his attention into that wasn't the raving insane ghosts outside.

Anything to throw his attention into that wasn't the raving insane ghosts outside.

"Okay..." He hummed a little. "I'm obsessed with movies about ghosts, I'm related to the crazy old hermit who used to live on the outskirts of my hometown, and my big sister was the homecoming queen in her senior year."

"I think that first one is true," Okuyasu said. "I mean, look at him."

"I don't know, man," Prompto cut in with a grin. "I've seen his comic book collection, and it's all zombies, zombies, zombies. So I'd definitely believe he's lying about the ghost part..."

His smile was apologetic, almost as if he felt like he was betraying a fellow nerd for calling him out like that.

"And I just mostly want the second one, at least, to be true," he added with a chuckle.

Lana thought about it.

"My parents own a huttball team, I was one of only two survivors of my previous class, and I can generally tell when people are lying, so it's kind of pointless for me to play this game."

What?

"I don't even know what huttball is," Norman noted, "but only two survivors of your previous class?"

He paused a moment.

"How big was it to start?"

Did they get questions to clarify? He grimaced apologetically.

"I'm going to lean into that one as the lie," he said, before anybody got the idea that he actually expected an answer.

"I hope that one's the lie," Prompto chimed in with a grimace, because if it wasn't....damn, Lana. That'd be kind of messed up.

As messed up as the fact that he had a weird suspicion that it actually might not be the lie...

Oh, man. Prompto was a horrible liar and he knew it so he had a feeling this wasn't going to be difficult for anyone and it would just be futile to try and outsmart his pretty smart classmates.

And if anyone thought Prompto would be doing anything else in this class without totally snuggling into his chocobo, then they were so wrong.

He half wanted to nominate a Chocobo for team captain, really.

"Alright, okay. Two truths and a lie." But he reminded himself to not be so dumb as to put them in that order. "Let's see...uhhhh....okay, okay, I'm an onl--"

Only he stopped there, blinked, and realized that what he was about to say might not actually technically be true anymore and his brow furrowed for a second as his brain sort of recalculated.

"So, no. Okay. How about this? Chocobos are my >favorite animals, like, ever, ummmm....I've never played sports in school, aaaaand....." Hmm, what would be a good third one? Hmmmmm. Man. "Err, I'm, uh....adopted?"

Kind of a lame finish, but it worked, and, again, he wasn't exactly good at this sort of thing.

"After we skipped by the confidence course like that, there's no way I'm going to call 'lie' on those birds," Norman laughed. "So it's either sports or adoption."

He considered Prompto thoughtfully.

"I mean, he seems pretty sporty to me?"

Okuyasu thought about that one for a second.

"Uhh, I am the last surviving member of my family, I kind of died for a little bit before coming to school here, and... I really like spicy food."

He was not good at this. Though maybe his truths would seem so outlandish as to work here.

"Ohmygod," said Prompto, "if the last one is the lie, I am just going to cry," and snuggle into his chocobo a little more, "because that would be the saddest set of statements ever, dude."

A world where you couldn't enjoy spicy food, your family was all dead, and you almost died, too??

Granted, Prompto wasn't even close to his parents, like, at all, but still! STILL!!

"Wait!" Okuyasu said, his face scrunching. "I accidentally lied twice."

He was really bad at this.

"Sorry."
