Monday DE: Lies, Damned Lies, And Statistics

[splash_of_blue]

*skids into place* Afternoon, all! Sorry for the late DE - I took a long weekend off work as a birthday present to myself and so I'm still off work today (and tomorrow). Totally forgot about the Daily Entertainment!

Anyway, here's one inspired by the British comedy panel show, Would I Lie To You?:

Have your characters (as many as you'd like) say something about themselves - either true or false, but the more apparently unlikely or obscure, the better! The statement can be drawn from canon, Millicanon or your own personal headcanon for them... or can, of course, be totally false.

(If you've seen Captain Marvel: think Nick Fury's claim that if toast is cut diagonally, he can't eat it. )

Other players can then tag with up to 3 questions per statement, to be answered in character, and then must guess whether or not the original statement is true.

Have fun! (Also, thanks go to Eric for proof-reading this in an attempt to ensure I was explaining it coherently.)

I have to sleep with my head pointed South while in New York.

[splash_of_blue]

How do you always make sure you know where South is?

[snarky_spider]

I orient off the ocean.

[irish_vagabond]

But why tho?

[snarky_spider]

Cause otherwise, the ocean would be on the wrong side.

[angry_friendship_wolf]

My brother shot me in the back with an arrow once.

:/

[snarky_spider]

Did he just have bad aim or was it a revenge thing?

[angry_friendship_wolf]

Excuse you, my brother's aim is amazing. He has the best aim of any little brother.

But it wasn't a revenge thing either.

[death_gone_mad]

Brothers are the worst, aren't they? So, did you die?

[angry_friendship_wolf]

No, no, my brother is the best. And no, I didn't die.

[irish_vagabond]

True, because that is exactly what brothers do.

[angry_friendship_wolf]

Okay, harsh, my brother is the sweetest brother alive.

I mean, it's still true, and I do still have the scar, but.

[death_gone_mad]

I have the most unique name out of all the people in the town in which I am living.

[angry_friendship_wolf]

Your real name, or an assumed name?

[death_gone_mad]

Wh-

Both. Yes.

[irish_vagabond]

I once saw a real unicorn.

[splash_of_blue]

Did it see you?

[irish_vagabond]

It did, and then it ran away :(

[death_gone_mad]

Did you manage to get its horn? Those are useful, you know.

[angry_friendship_wolf]

When?

[cute_bruiser]

Pink isn't actually my favourite colour.

[angry_friendship_wolf]

Barefaced lie, next question.

[heatherandsteel]

Sometimes I bring the Sea Witch donuts.

[angry_friendship_wolf]

What kind of donuts?

[morethanprops]

My family has a breed of dogs named after them.
