DNET VIDEO ☏ TO EVERYONE EVER ☏ WEDNESDAY

[lear]

Hullo, chums!

[ There's a chirpy redhead on your screen. She looks a little mischievous. ]

I'm not sure this is quite the purpose these were built for, but bugger it. I'm very new and I didn't get to meet half as many of you as I would have liked after the Ceremony since everyone's off being a superhero. So!

[ She holds up a white card in front of her. on it is written: ]

TWO TRUTHS AND A LIE

Classic icebreaker.

[ Or so the internet tells her. ]

Here's how it works. You state two facts about yourself and a lie, in any order, innocuous as you like, and everyone has to see if they can separate the truth from the lies. Good practice for all that covert ops stuff.

I'll start!

My favourite food is blue steak, I'm a chess grandmaster, and I speak Mandarin Chinese.

[ Sense Motive check of DC18 to pick the second fact as the lie. ]

dc 21. NUMBER ONE IS THE LIE.

[nepotism]

Ok, let's see.

I played college football.

If I wasn't a Knight, I'd want to be a pro snowboarder.

I've done fifty push ups in a minute before.

[slays]

[ DC19. She considers him for a moment, then with a sly laugh. ] Snowboarding? Seriously? Like anyone's gonna buy that.

[nepotistic]

What? It seems that far-fetched?

[slays]

More far-fetched than you being fifty push-ups football guy. [ Would you like her panties, future husband? She will throw them to you from Chicago. ]

[nepotistic]

Then maybe you need to get to know me better.

[slay]

Maybe I do. [ There's a slow-building smile there, shy. ] Can't say I'd mind it. [ A beat. ] But, just so we're clear, I was right about the push-ups, right?

[nepotism]

[He makes a buzzer noise] NOPE. Try again.

[slays]

Really? How many can you do in a minute, then? It has to be close to 50, at least.

[nepotism]

Oh! I thought you meant...

Never mind. Yeah, that one's true.

[slays]

Oh! Good. I mean, not -- that it would have been bad if you couldn't ... I just, mean ... You know. Good with the me being right. The second time. [ Awkwardddd. ] So, not football, huh?

[nepotistic]

Nope. Didn't really get a chance to go to college before I showed up here.

[slays]

Well, hey, could be worse. I mean, if I did go to college, I remember zero much of it, so I'd say we're even. [ A beat. ] ... Or, actually, you're about twelve years of education ahead. They're not gonna make me retake algebra, right?

[nepotism]

That's for calculators are for, right?

critical fail... oh my god...

[lear]

I really doubt you could manage one push up, let alone fifty.

L O L

[shootfirst]

[SNERK]

Oh, I like her.

[nepotistic]

[OUCH] ... Thanks for the vote of confidence.

[lear]

Quite welcome.

[nepotism]

... Not right, though. If you were wondering.

[lear]

I wasn't, really.

[nepotistic]

I meant for the game.

his face tho

[lear]

Oh, of course. They're all sort of samey though, aren't they? I mean, do you do things other than sports?

yep

[nepotism]

[ hdu... point out the obvious ] ... Sure I do. It was just what came to mind.

[lear]

I suppose that says quite a bit about you, then, doesn't it!

[nepotism]

[So oblivious to the judgment] ... Guess it does, yeah.

I've wanted to be a part of the Knights my whole life. Suppose I've seen everything up until I got here as prepping for it.

[lear]

That's sweet, I suppose, but surely the Knights require more than simple muscle.
