Jasper

[The sound of a breeze covers any conversation coming from other pavilions, though there's no wind here. The only furnishing is a table laid out with a tea service glazed in your team colors and a few leaves of paper.]

[Once everyone is settled, Kitsune speaks, and her voice is clear in each pavilion:]

A little game: as a team, make a list of two truths and a lie.

That's it.

The truths do not need to be secrets. But on the other hand, don't give the lie away too easily.

Can you be yourself, even when you hide the truth?

((OOC Instructions: Two truths and a lie is go.
Answers will be posted anon in round two, so don't share anything you're not willing to let the group see. To reiterate, these do not have to be secrets.
It's to your benefit to be identifiable.
Please label your truths and lies so I don't have to track you down and shake the answers out of you.))

Re: Discussion

[aprettygirl]

So it has to sound like three truths, doesn't it...? Or three outrageous things.

Re: Discussion

[deadofknight]

Maybe not outrageous, I think she wants teams to still sound like themselves.

Re: Discussion

[aprettygirl]

You don't think we couldn't be both...?

Re: Discussion

[deadofknight]

That sounds like it'd be harder to pull off.

Re: Discussion

[aprettygirl]

Do you like a challenge, sir?

Re: Discussion

[deadofknight]

I don't mind them.

Re: Discussion

[aprettygirl]

I suppose that can be a truth. "We don't mind a challenge."

Re: Discussion

[deadofknight]

Not bad! Any other ideas?

Re: Discussion

[aprettygirl]

What's a good lie about liking elephants?

Re: Discussion

[deadofknight]

Saying you don't like elephants? Saying you like elephants for a reason other than the real reason you like them?

Re: Discussion

[aprettygirl]

...perhaps 'we all love elephants' might be enough of a lie by itself...

*thinks*

Re: Discussion

[deadofknight]

I wouldn't know.

Re: Discussion

[aprettygirl]

I think I have it.

Re: Discussion

[deadofknight]

Okay, good.

Re: Discussion

[mylittlecavallone]

That doesn't sound like too bad a task.

Re: Discussion

[aprettygirl]

No, it sounds rather fun~.

Re: Discussion

[mylittlecavallone]

So vague enough that you can't tell what's a lie, but clear enough that you can tell it's us.

Re: Discussion

[aprettygirl]

Of course ♥ Hmm, all four of us.

Re: Discussion

[mylittlecavallone]

Well, what're some telling traits about your team, to start with?

Re: Discussion

[aprettygirl]

Hmm . . . we like winning and elephants rather a lot.

Re: Discussion

[mylittlecavallone]

Elephants could work.

Re: Discussion

[aprettygirl]

For which part?

Re: Discussion

[mylittlecavallone]

Something like 'we like elephants' or 'we would like a pet elephant'.

Re: Discussion

[aprettygirl]

*thoughtfully*

I'm not sure whether to twist that into a lie or not. Our team sign does have elephants on it.

Re: Discussion

[mylittlecavallone]

A twist there would be good. Using elephants makes it clear you're Jasper, but the specific fact about elephants can be used for a lie.

Re: Discussion

[aprettygirl]

"Our team wants to get a pet elephant" might be a good enough lie. Not all of us do.

Re: Discussion

[mylittlecavallone]

Sounds like it's vague enough to work.

Re: Discussion

[ademoelord]

Is that how it's supposed to work?

Re: Discussion

[aprettygirl]

Ye~s? The lie shouldn't be easy to spot! But we don't want to sound ordinary either; rather, it should be clear that we're Jasper.

Re: Discussion

[ademoelord]

So something about how we all are? Maybe we should come up with the truths first and then figure out one that can be changed to make it a lie.

Re: Discussion

[aprettygirl]

The best lies are mostly truth, after all!

Re: Discussion

[ademoelord]

Um... so ... we're nice... and protective of Jasper. Right?

Re: Discussion

[aprettygirl]

*. . . :) :) :)*

A little less general than that, perhaps.

Re: Discussion

[ademoelord]

Well... I don't think anyone believes me anyway when I say I'm a demon lord. They probably wouldn't believe I was a thief either.

Re: Discussion

[aprettygirl]

That's a truth?

Re: Discussion

[ademoelord]

[nods]

I was part of the thieves guild before I became a demon lord I guess.

Re: Discussion

[aprettygirl]

Hmm, hmm . . . something about professions . . .

Re: Discussion

[ademoelord]

What kind of stuff did you do?

Re: Discussion

[aprettygirl]

Me? I was a student of medicine at a university.

Re: Discussion

[ademoelord]

That means you're really smart right?

Re: Discussion

[aprettygirl]

Haha, I don't know how well I was doing. But it's a nice thought.

Perhaps, 'Our team members have former professions you wouldn't expect?'

Re: Discussion

[ademoelord]

That'll work.
