✯ Ninth Session ✯ [Voice]

[byakkoyagirl]

Hey everyone, Paprika here. Word around the village is that we got new people coming in here again. Sorry to everyone who got roped into this crazy place - if you don't think it suits your needs that is. This place can be really insane sometimes, but remember: you aren't alone here. We all deal with the same scientists and helping each other out isn't a crime and you shouldn't feel bad reaching out for help either!

If anyone has anything they want to discuss, I'll be always available so long as I am around this place! I'm a trained and liscensed psychologist back home and things will always be kept private between us. I promise I'm not a big gossiper.

But, enough of that! I think a game would be fun to play. To break the ice and whatnot. So, lets play Two Truths and a Lie. You introduce yourself and then make three statements. One of them has to be a lie and the other two are truth things. The person needs to guess what is the lie and what are the truthes. You can tell a lot about someone from the things they say and the things they don't say, so it could be fun. I definitely encourage the new people to play along with me. Look I'll go first.

Lets see...

My name is Paprika.

I have saved the world from the brink of doom!
I have been in Luceti for over a year so far.
I once ate 10 hotdogs under five minutes.

Oh and you should tell me why you think the statement is a lie too, just for added fun!

Comments

[goldenglasses]

Oh, wow! You ate ten hotdogs in under five minutes!? That's more than two hotdogs a minute! [Yup, he's impressed and forgot one of these things are suppose to be a lie.]

[byakkoyagirl.livejournal.com]

[A light chuckle. Oh Vash.]

You just need to eat two at the same time, along with washing it down with a glass of water. It's very tiring.

[herotypical]

[ because this won't be awkward. ]

I'll pick lie the third. No one would ever want to eat that many hot dogs ever.

[byakkoyagirl.livejournal.com]

That isn't true! People in hotdog eating contests would eat that much and more.

[...] But, that's irrelevant because you're right.

[fabrecation]

[... Yup, this won't be awkward.]

The... third one?

[byakkoyagirl.livejournal.com]

Is that really the most unbelievable of them all?

[A lax sigh.]

Yeah, you're right.

[Voice]

[command-medli.livejournal.com]

What a wonderful way of looking at things! I'll have to keep it in mind, Paprika. Thank you!

...Oh, sorry, I nearly forgot! Um, I think the lie is that you've been in Luceti for a year. That would he horrible...

And my name is Medli. I play music on the harp, I deliver mail across the Great Sea, and I'm studying to be an attendant!

[Voice]

[byakkoyagirl.livejournal.com]

You're welcome!

Sadly, you're wrong about that. It sounds bad, but the lie is the hotdog thing. I'm not that fast of an eater. I really have been here for a good year.

As for you...I say the lie is studying to be an attendant.

[ voice ]

[repudiate]

Third's a lie. [ deadpan as ever. ] With something like this, people would usually add at least one extreme extraordinairy true fact about themselves along with an extreme but somewhat ordinairy false fact about themselves to make believe believe the former true one is actually the false one, right?

... That, and this place seems to have a thing for pulling in people who are involved with world saving events, so it isn't too ridiculous.

[ voice ]

[byakkoyagirl.livejournal.com]

Depends on what you define as extreme. Where I come from, saving the world would be a pretty big extreme, but here it seems so commonplace. On the other hand, eating hotdogs that quickly may not seem so strange and bizarre. At least not compared the other choices I gave you.

It doesn't change that you're right though.

[Video]

[redheadlion]

Saved the world? What do you mean by that?

[Video]

[byakkoyagirl.livejournal.com]

[...Talking lion......cool :O]

Like, stopping a great evil from destroying everything you hold dear? Something on that scale.

[voice]

[squaring.livejournal.com]

Huh... [Musing to himself! Kid has no idea that he can be heard.] There are definitely people who've been here that long, right? And it'd be a little rude to doubt she could save the world, even if she might mean it figuratively...

[Okay, answer reached!] Ah, it's the third one, right?

[voice]

[byakkoyagirl.livejournal.com]

[She giggles a little. The pondering thoughts are pretty amusing.]

Yeah, that's right. Man maybe I made it too easy.

[lookslikeajob.livejournal.com]

You know, it's pretty reassuring to know we have someone with your kind of skills among us, Miss Paprika.

As for the game... I'd find the first one unbelievable back home, but here it's downright unsurprising. The second is easily believable if a bit depressing... so I'm gonna have to go with the third being the lie by process of elimination.

[byakkoyagirl.livejournal.com]

I think it would be a shame to not offer my services somehow, given the stresses Luceti can bring on one's psyche.

And yeah, you're right. But, I bet I could eat that much if I tried!

[voice]

[aintnoconvict]

The third one has to be a lie. Wh-why would anyone ever eat one dog, let alone a...a hot one?

[ ...go go non-Earthling powers? ]

[voice]

[byakkoyagirl.livejournal.com]

Yeah, it's a lie, but I don't mean a literal dog. A hot dog is food made from beef, which is not dog meat at all. Don't ask me why they call it that though.

[rollypolyclover.livejournal.com]

You saved the world?! Wow... Superhero!!

[byakkoyagirl.livejournal.com]

[O-Oh kids u//u]

Yeah, I totally did! [oh wait] Or did I? I could be lying you know!

[mush-monarch.livejournal.com]

... 10 hotdogs... under five minutes? [She's guessing not even Mario is capable of such feat. Maybe Gourmet Guy...]

I suppose that's not true.

[byakkoyagirl.livejournal.com]

Hm. Yeah, you're right about that. I can't eat that fast at all. But, I heard of people who could eat that much and more!

[voice]

[magicwarding.livejournal.com]

You've saved the world? That's really amazing, Paprika!

[Roji you did the same thing.]

[voice]

[byakkoyagirl.livejournal.com]

Did I, Roji? Maybe I'm lying for the sake of the game?

[FAIL FILTER--voice]

[all7seas]

Paprika? I...found your card, darling. In my book.

[FAIL FILTER--voice] 1/2

[byakkoyagirl.livejournal.com]

[...

Jack that filter is so bad.]

[voice]

[wantsaprince.livejournal.com]

The lie...it's the first one, right? I mean, one person saving the world! That stuff only happens in movies and books, doesn't it?

[voice]

[byakkoyagirl.livejournal.com]

Saving the world is a big job for one person to handle. And I admit that I had a little help. But, otherwise, that's the truth. Not that I blame you at all for thinking it's a lie.

[She shifts her eyes for a moment and then whispers] The people who guessed the lie right away are just use to that stuff by now, because of all the weird stuff here.

[voice]

[fierybluebird]

Whoa... less than 30 seconds per hot dog? Not bad Miss!

[voice]

[byakkoyagirl.livejournal.com]

[She laughs.]

What can I say? People claim the stomach of the Japanese are bottomless for good hotdogs!

[mikangirl.livejournal.com]

Yeah, I'm gonna join the mob and go for the third one.

[byakkoyagirl.livejournal.com]

Joining the mob? Why not be an individual and go outside the box!

[Paprika just admit you're not good at this...]

[emp3thy]

I think answering now would be cheating. [since... everyone ever already guessed correctly.]

[byakkoyagirl.livejournal.com]

[siiiigh.]

At least you're honest about it.

How about I give you a set of new questions then?

[ten-ofspades.livejournal.com]

[She'd suspect the world saving thing, but... well she lives in a world full of superheroes. That's nothing out of the ordinary.]

I'd say three. I seriously doubt anyone can eat that much at once without making themselves sick.

[byakkoyagirl.livejournal.com]

Not true, I've seen contests where people stuff themselves full of hotdogs in even shorter times!

[Don't mind her, she just has a bruised pride.]

Yeah, it's three. Darn and I thought a bunch of people would fall for it.

[bullet-dance.livejournal.com]

E-Eating that much food in so little time sounds painful, Miss Paprika.

[byakkoyagirl.livejournal.com]

Is it? I can eat a lot more than that if I overdo it you know! Like eating 20 hotdogs in ten minutes!

[menial]

A psychologist around here? Business must be good.

[byakkoyagirl.livejournal.com]

Well, I won't say one way or the other. Can't let people know how many clients I have.

But, business is decent when you're the only psychologist in the village.

[Voice]

[ledbythewind]

Since everyone has already answered, you may need to come up with three more things for people to choose from.

[Voice]

[byakkoyagirl.livejournal.com]

[A huff.]

No fair. I thought I did a good job making those up too.

Okay, fine. Let me see.

My best friend is currently in Luceti.
I don't look as old as I appear.
And I like funnel cake.

voice;

[quip]

How big were these hotdogs?

voice;

[byakkoyagirl.livejournal.com]

Hm. Lets say normal size.

[odastillhatesme.livejournal.com]

I bet Paprika would still be beautiful eating 10 hotdogs that quickly~!

[Yeah he knows the third one is a lie. WHATEVER. He gives no shits]

1/2

[byakkoyagirl.livejournal.com]

[...Oh he's back? ...Cool!]

[Written]

[daisy023]

[It's obvious which one is it already. The "spent almost a year here"... is all too true.

The anniversary of her death and second chance is coming up in two months. But, not something she'll think about for now.]

Here's mine:

-I weight over twice what most people here weight.
-I can see literally through people.
-A friend of mine from my world can outrun a car.

[Voice]

[byakkoyagirl.livejournal.com]

...Give me some clarification: is the first one with or without your armor?

[She hums for a second.]

Or would that make it too obvious? Whatever, I'll pick the first one as the lie!
