"Right, so today some of you will be getting visitors," Anakin said, starting the discussion as he entered the classroom, "which leads rather neatly into our discussion this week: lying. Will you tell your visitors the entire truth about this island? Will you shade the truth? Will you straight up lie to their faces if they see a gremlin or a teal deer? And if you choose to lie, why do you chose that option?"

Like you're about to lie your faces off.

Listen to the lecture!

[sith_happened]

Or sulk about how no one is coming for you.

Discuss!

[sith_happened]

Will you tell your visitors the truth? Will you lie? Will you find complete strangers and lie to them? Why?

Talk to Anakin!

[sith_happened]

If you want him to lie to your visitors, too.

Adora wasn't sulking, she just looked very, very sad.

Re: Discuss!

[bookbeltof_love]

"I, like, never lie!!!!!!!!!!!!!," she said earnestly, lying to one of her fake dads with a grin.

Re: Discuss!

[grayskollar]

"I guess I'd tell them the truth." Not that she was getting any visitors anyway.

[mother_forker]

Eleanor was more afraid of someone she knew actually showing up. Not that she was worried about her parents showing up. They'd have to be conscious that they had a daughter for them to show up.

Re: Discuss!

[mother_forker]

"Kind of hard to lie about it when there are people here who look like they are out of a fashion catalog or a sci-fi movie," Eleanor said with a shrug. "That being said, I'd lie just to mess with their heads."

[gospel_of_oblivion]

Yeah, Yana knew no one was coming for her. Strange and Wong had Responsibilities, and they just weren't going to make it. That's why she often went home once or twice a month on the weekends, so they could be at the Sanctum in case of emergency.

It was fine. Really.

Re: Discuss!

[gospel_of_oblivion]

"I don't have people coming, but Strange and Wong already know everything about this place," Illyana said bluntly. "I wouldn't need to lie."

And no one from Xavier's knew where she was, thank the Elder Gods. She didn't want to be found.

She glanced at her classmates. "If you need me to lie to someone for you, though, I'll do it."

"I mean, I could lie, technically. Nevada's not coming. But there wouldn't be any point in it, except I guess for--oh no. I never told my mom I was rooming with a boy."

Re: Discuss!

[toottootmagicflute]

"Why would I lie?" Wei Wuxian asked, confused. Not that he had a problem with fudging the truth sometimes, but he couldn't see what about Fandom needed to be hidden.

Re: Discuss!

[sith_happened]

Anakin laughed at her. "Oh, of course."

Re: Discuss!

[sith_happened]

"All of it, including the squirrels?" Anakin asked.

Re: Discuss!

[sith_happened]

"What would you tell them?" Anakin asked.

Re: Discuss!

[mother_forker]

"Depends on the situation. Like if they asked about you? I'd just say you were a monk who just got out of a psychiatric hospital or something."

Re: Discuss!

[sith_happened]

"Why would you lie for others?" Anakin asked, interested to understand her thought process.
