Lying and the Lying Liars Who Tell Them, Class #3

"Hello!" Jarod waved to the gathered students. The bandage was gone from his head, but the stitches were still visible. "Today we'll be learning about how to keep a secret, and I mean a real secret here, one that someone's life is depending on, by telling the truth."

"The kicker here is that someone will be asking you questions, trying to find out what the secret is. It's your job to answer their questions as completely as possible, but to still keep that secret. Then you'll switch. You'll each pick a secret of your own, and write it down on a piece of paper before you start. Then, your partner will write down what they think the secret is when they're finished, and show it to you. I'm trusting you to tell them if they got it right."

"Also, please feel free to have some coffee, juice, fruit, and bagels," he gestured at the table behind him.

[ooc: No Jarod until 6 pm EST, pair up and have fun!]

"Why did you move a lot?"

"Home was always Blue Cove, but my father took me along on his business trips. Sometimes we were there long enough for me to go to school there, or spend a summer off in those places." She smiled sweetly. "Where are you from? I won't count it in on my interrogation."

"Japan mostly. I speak Japanese at least." He smiles politely. "Well how about your... um... family? Did you dad take anyone else?"

"Ohh, lovely. //It's been a while, and Miho only speaks Japanese when she's annoyed with me. I haven't seen Sakurazaki in weeks,//" Parker said in nearly-perfect Japanese, smiling sunnily at him. "Sometimes. When I was younger. Is this your first time in America?"

//Yeah. 's my first time. Ya know Setsuna huh? We talk in Japanese. When ain't in fight or anythin'. Don't worry 'bout your Japanese or nothin'. Mine's bad too.// He wasn't raised to be a man of many words... So his Japanese is pleanty unrefined.

"Domo arigato." Parker gives him a wide-eyed, expectant look, filing all that away for later. "You were going to ask me another question."

"Oh yeah... Sorry. Well... why did you come here?" Setsuna talk always distracts him. He looks embarassed.

"For a first class education, and the opportunity to be close to Blue Cove," Parker said promptly. It might sound rehearsed, but it's still true. Ranma really has no idea how to do this, poor guy. "Of course, my father had no idea about the vampires and snow monsters. But I still think it's been valuable."

"So um... do you you know your mother at all?" He feels awkward asking personal questions to a stranger mostly.

Parker blinked at that one, surprised at the shot in the dark, and said, "Yes. Do you?"

"No. My dad took me away from home when I was like... 3. I just thought you didn't becasue you were talking about your dad a lot. You like both your parents?" How in the world is he suposed to find this secret. He had no idea what it might be. He was just looking for sometihng from her past because secrets commonly were from then.

"Yes, I love them both." Parker paused. "Even though my mother died when I was nine." Maybe that would cut off that avenue of speculation? Well, she could hope. "Do you mind if I ask about your secret now? You can keep interrogating me as well, of course."

"That's fine. Yeah. I don't mind." He nods, he's starting to feel really intrusive and he doesn't like it. He'd be glad for the break.

"Hmmm. Give me a second." Parker made sure to wait long enough for him to relax a little, then asked, "Have you had your secret a long time, or did it come about just recently? For instance, since you came here to Fandom."

"Well it's not been too long... I had it before I came here though..." Ohhh... yes. Questions like that would probably have been much more effective... He wants to kick himself for looking idiotic. Not like he doesn't usually...

"Ahh. So, is it a fun secret? Do you get a lot of enjoyment out of it? Or is it just a run-of-the-mill, don't-wanna-share secret?" Parker paused, and added, "And if it's a really harsh secret, you can choose another one. Seriously."

"I wouldn't call it... fun. It's... odd. Maybe... "harsh" but I don't mid telling people anymore. I'm trying to make it less of a secret." Unforntunately he was honestly getting used to it.

"So, it's something personal to you, then? Not about something in your past, or a family member?" Parker cocked her head, smiling. "I admire you for trying to be more open, by the way."

"Yeah. It's about me." He blushes deeply at the 'admiring'. He doesn't deserve it really... "O-Oh... it's... just that it's a hassle of a secret to keep..."

"Really? How so? Do you secretly have wings?" Parker grins. "That would be cool. But I assume it's something anyone could find out about you, then, if you weren't careful all the time?"

Weird. He knows someone with that. "Yeah that would be a fun secret though. In my oppinion. Mine is... not fun."

Parker studied him, and carefully said, "You don't have to answer, but is it physically painful? Your secret?" She was guessing it wasn't something mental, like River, or Bridge, because he'd be better at this game if it was.

"Not really. It doesn't hurt." Other than my pride... ugh... nothing is more painful to the male pride than becoming a GIRL.

"But it is physical, and unique to you; hard to conceal, had it for a while..." Parker paused. "It is some form of mutation, then? Some way your body reacts, or changes, that you're trying to deal with? That must be rough."

"Yeah... that's it. Man you're good at this. I always pick classes I'm not good at to improve but everyone in them seems so good at them..."
