Lying and the Lying Liars Who Tell Them, Class #4

[jarodpretends.livejournal.com]

Jarod was waiting with his hands behind his back as the class arrived. "Hello again. I hope you've all recovered from having to tell the truth last week," he smirked, "because this week you'll be lying yourselves sick."

"You've shaded the truth so much that it's no longer believable, or someone has checked your references--in any event, you've been found out. Your job during this class is to either pair up or have a group of three of you, and for one of you to make the other person or people believe that you know what you're talking about. It's your job to get yourself out of whatever trouble you've gotten yourself into. But it's your partner's job to come up with the scenario."

"You're teenagers, so hopefully I won't have to tell you how to lie, but I'm here if you have questions."



[ooc: Not here until 6 pm EST. The way this works is: Partner 1 confronts Partner 2 with the scenario that's been flubbed. Partner 2 lies his or her way out of it.]

Tyler waved her away. "Whatever, grandma likes us best," he said, steepling his fingers. "She's never forgiven you for 'borrowing' her engagement ring."

"But we'll be nice and give it another shot, sis."

"We'd still have our old jobs if you hadn't gone and blown the place up." Pippi said evenly to Parker. "I swear... You and your unholy love for rutabaga will kill us all one of these days."

She glanced at Tyler.

"If we're doing that dance again... This time? I'll lead and you wear the silly badger hat (http://static.flickr.com/70/177544107_8fab170102.jpg)."

Parker got a sudden image of Pippi in a badger hat, and cracked up. Damnit.

Tyler looked back at Pippi, smiling in triumph. "I'll wear the hat," he promised. "And excellent lying."

Pippi grinned back, holding out her hand for either a handshake or five.

"Likewise I'm sure." she said. "... And I'm going to hold you to the hat thing."

"I'll buy you both drinks, just for the entertainment." Parker grinned. "Although if you get me a moose? I'll throw in some shoes."
