✯ 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!

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.

[menial]

'And not to mention, when there's no one around to contradict you, right? Oh, well.'

You're really the only one? They don't have other doctors or anything?

[byakkoyagirl.livejournal.com]

Well, there are a few medical doctors. The kinds that can heal physical wounds. I guess psychologists can heal the mental ones, if we're comparing.

[menial]

Right. Just seems like a place as crazy as this, you'd need more than one psychologist.

[byakkoyagirl.livejournal.com]

Well, I wouldn't mind extra help. How about it? Want to be my assistant?

[menial]

'As much as I have plenty of experience dealing with some of the most mentally deranged people I can imagine, I have to wonder about an invitation like that after approximately five sentences have been exchanged.'

Wouldn't that kind of job require some kind of qualification?

[byakkoyagirl.livejournal.com]

You can do paperwork for me, or something. Maybe keep calls and organize a schedule for me.

[menial]

'Ah, the bleak truth: paperwork.'

If that would help. I don't think that stuff would help deal with the short supply, though.

[byakkoyagirl.livejournal.com]

You think so?

[...A slightly exaggerated sigh.]

No good then. I'll need to start tutoring you right away in psychology then. I'm not much of a professor, but I'll do my best so you can help me!

[menial]

'Have I already gotten myself into even more trouble without knowing it?'

You're pretty committed to the idea, huh?

'Not that it's a bad idea, actually. It's just very sudden.'

[byakkoyagirl.livejournal.com]

...No, not really. I'm just kidding! [She says with a quick laugh.] I can't go employing interns so suddenly and you don't look like you're even out of high school yet.

[menial]

--Right.

'Oh, well.'

Does that really matter around here? High school?

[byakkoyagirl.livejournal.com]

I think it should, but I'm not in charge of the school system here.

...So wait, do you really want to be my assistant?

[menial]

'Wait, we're back on that again?'

Well, I wouldn't mind. Assuming we really are stuck here like they said. But if you're not offering, that seems reasonable.
