Video // 001 // Can't Tell A Lie

[redcloakedthief]

Looks like other people are having the same problems with this marking too.

[He pauses, considering this, and then he shrugs with a smile.]

Well, does anyone have any theories as to why they're suddenly glowing and acting oddly?

[ooc: Come bother him. Matthew definitely won't be used to not being able to sneak by with a lie.]

... So it's not just me.

[redcloakedthief]

Not at all. In fact, I would venture to say that it is nearly everyone.

[whowasphones]

What did you mean by "acting oddly"?

[redcloakedthief]

...Will you do me a favor first?

Lie to me.

[whowasphones]

What--!? What the hell for?

[redcloakedthief]

Just give it a try.

[whowasphones]

["Give it a try"? What's that supposed to prove? And what am I supposed to lie about? Even if you say that, it's not something I can just pull out of nowhere.]

I don't think lying really solves anything. You wanna tell me what this is all about?

[redcloakedthief]

I think, in this case, you'd be surprised at how much it could solve. Or how much it could tell us, anyway.

[...Dear St. Elimine, why does he keep giving up so much information?]

[Too bad Neku's not really catching any of it :(]

Fine. You just want to hear a lie, right?

[Still, he has to think of something to lie about. Anything, come on, Neku!]

I hate it here.

[whowasphones]

... What?

[... That wasn't the lie!]

[redcloakedthief]

[He smiiiiles.]

Come on. It shouldn't be that hard to come up with a lie, right?

[whowasphones]

Maybe I'm not as experienced as you.

[redcloakedthief]

Or maybe you just can't.

[whowasphones]

You say it like it's rocket science. No one learns how to lie. It's just something people innately do.

[redcloakedthief]

All right then. Prove me wrong.

[whowasphones]

I... can't.
