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

[jarodpretends.livejournal.com]

"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!]

"I don't need protection because of it. But somebody else might." she said.

"When you did this thing that involves law enforcement. Were you and your friend enforcing the law? Or were the people who were not your friends enforcing the law?"

Re: Class Assignment

[multiplez]

"Who?"

"One of those," Z said.

Re: Class Assignment

[strongestgirl.livejournal.com]

"Most people." Pippi said. "Which one of those?"

Re: Class Assignment

[multiplez]

"Most people would need protection if they knew your secret. From what?"

"One or the other."

Re: Class Assignment

[strongestgirl.livejournal.com]

"No no. If most people, had a secret that was like mine, they would want protection from other people who would discover the secret." she said.

"When you say 'One or the other', do you mean in like 'both'?"

Re: Class Assignment

"Is your secret societally unacceptable in some way?"

"You mean, like, am I a dirty cop? No."

Re: Class Assignment

[strongestgirl.livejournal.com]

"No. It's perfectly acceptable." she said. "... Were dirty cops involved?"

Re: Class Assignment

[multiplez]

"Would people knowing your secret alter your place in society or what society expects of you?"

"No."

Re: Class Assignment

[strongestgirl.livejournal.com]

"Not exactly. The secret is involved with something that I do not keep a secret. It's rather obvious actually. And the thing that isn't a secret can alter my place in society or what society expects of me."

"So were the people who weren't your friends in law enforcement."

Re: Class Assignment

[multiplez]

Z is so confused. "Does this have to do with your strength?"

"Yes, they were."

Re: Class Assignment

[strongestgirl.livejournal.com]

"The fact that I wouldn't need protection has to do with my strength. But the secret does not." she said. "Were the people who were not your friends, but in law enforcement working in opposition to you and your friend?"

Re: Class Assignment

[multiplez]

"Does it have to do with your friends?"

"I wouldn't say that," Z said.

Re: Class Assignment

[strongestgirl.livejournal.com]

"Nope, just me." she said. "Were you in competition with these people who are not your friends?"

Re: Class Assignment

[multiplez]

"Is it mental in nature?"

"Nope."

Re: Class Assignment

[strongestgirl.livejournal.com]

"Not mental no."

"Hmmmm... Where did this thing happen between you, your friend, and people who are not your friends?"

Re: Class Assignment

[multiplez]

"Do other people know about your secret already?"

"Newtech City, California."

Re: Class Assignment

[strongestgirl.livejournal.com]

"People? No."

"Were you and your friend working with these people who weren't your friends?"

Re: Class Assignment

[multiplez]

"Animals?"

"Nope."

Re: Class Assignment

[strongestgirl.livejournal.com]

"Yes. A monkey and a horse." she said.

"Were these people who are not your friends aware you and your friend were around?"

Re: Class Assignment

[multiplez]

"Oooookay." Z wondered if Pippi's secret was that she was certifiable, then remembered this was Fandom. "Does your secret involve, like, a place?"

"They became aware of us."

Re: Class Assignment

[strongestgirl.livejournal.com]

"Yes."

"How did they react when they became aware of you?"

Re: Class Assignment

[multiplez]

"Is it a town?"

"They reacted appropriately."

Re: Class Assignment

[strongestgirl.livejournal.com]

"No."

"Describe this appropriate reaction to discovering your presence."

Re: Class Assignment

[multiplez]

"A city?"

"In accordance with regulations."

Re: Class Assignment

[strongestgirl.livejournal.com]

"Nope." she said. "Explain, in detail the regulations these people who were not your friends reacted in accordance with when they discovered that you and/or your friend were present in this undisclosed location in Newtech City, California."
