Okay! We've got a few more newbies so the mandatory ice breaker game is two truths and two lies! Say two things about yourself that are true and two that are a lie, and then everyone else well try and guess which ones are the lies. Got it?

I'll go first:

My blood is yellow.
I was hatched with four eyes and four horns.
Purple is my favorite color.
I'm a wanted criminal on my home planet.

[OOC: Respond with your own truths and lies and answer each other, or ask Psi about his. Threadjacking is encouraged!]

Your debt?? What, you're not here to get help or train??

[flashover]

No... I got tricked by the shadow guys...

[spaghettimonster]

They are very tricky.

[flashover]

Yeah well!! I'd like to see how they'd do in a fair fight!! I'd kick their asses!

[spaghettimonster]

You could ask for a fight! But I think they'd refuse. They're very... serious about their jobs.

[To put it lightly.]

[flashover]

What if I just started by setting them on fire...

[... Well, he only sounds half-serious, at least]

[spaghettimonster]

That's not sporting!?!

[What is with people from other worlds and just. Setting people on fire?? This is outrageous. He's outraged.]

You shouldn't just light people on fire. First you need to introduce yourself! Tell them your motives!

And then, then! Go ahead?? Cinder spirits probably don't mind fire anyway.

[whattaprick]

What's the point of asking if they won't mind anyway?

[spaghettimonster]

Nobody said you have to ask!! You just. Proper fights have.

[Come on, Papyrus, find your words.]

Just lighting people on fire, it's too easy to win!

[whattaprick]

[ Lambert's not even going to pretend he's not snickering. ]

No such thing as a proper fight. And isn't that the whole point of winning? To totally defeat the other guy?

[spaghettimonster]

[What a prick!]

No?!! I mean, winning is great. But I just need them to see how cool my moves are! And then... be so intimidated that they give up??

[It's a totally legit strategy that works... some of the time.]

[whattaprick]

[ That's what he lives for! ]

Wow. Those must really be some moves.

[ He is, somehow, managing to keep a straight face and a deadpan voice. It probably helps that he can't see Papyrus right now ... ]

[spaghettimonster]

[Even if Lambert's secretly being sarcastic behind his initial laughter, there's no refuting the literal meaning of his words. Papyrus' moves really are some moves, and he knows it. The rest of the world can figure it out in their own time!]

They are. How about I can show you some day?

[Is Papyrus offering to pick a fight?]

[flashover]

Well, I'll tell you what ELSE isn't sporting!! Tricking innocent cram school kids into cooking at a carnival for a year! THAT'S pretty unsporting, if you ask me!

[spaghettimonster]

Another student, missing school to be here??

[Congratulations Rin, that was exactly the right thing to shift Papyrus back to dismay.]

Well! You're not wrong!

Which is why... you should be better than them! So! If you're going to light any cinder spirits on fire, just first tell them why you're doing it. Then you're good!!! Consider that an official request from me! Their... sort-of boss?

[flashover]

Yeah! It's... just awful.

[sooooo awful. He haaaaates missing school.

(not. so very very not)]

Hnnnrrgggh. Fine!! Whatever. But only because you asked!

[spaghettimonster]

I can only imagine! The idea that kids are going a whole year, maybe more, without stepping in a classroom... It's too awful for words!

[No wonder Rin's having a hard time describing how much he misses class.

At least Gongenzaka came here on purpose, to supplement his school education with training to protect his friends. After all, they couldn't keep going to school if something happened to them! But this...]

I think... I need to have a talk with them, about the importance of education. The carnival might seem like fun and games, and it is! But they shouldn't pick on people still in school.

[flashover]

I know! It's -- [a snort while he tries to suppress his laughter] -- It's pretty much the worst thing imaginable!! Whatever will I dooooo?!

[though... having a whole extra YEAR to study for the exam that will determine if he gets to live or die may be a good thing... Maybe he should take advantage of it?

... eh. ]

Dude, I don't think they care... They seem like assholes. Like, no offense or anything... maybe if you're they're boss, they'll listen to you?

[spaghettimonster]

You'll lose your good work ethic! Missing school is just like missing work. Once you start down that path...

[Well, apparently you might get work at a carnival anyway. This message isn't quite working as intended.]

That's my meaning! They're not very... personable. Or even person-like. No chatter, no hobbies... but! It's always worth trying.

[flashover]

Eh... so they're kind of like... personality-less blobs, huh? Only around to trick poor, innocent kids into working for a carnival! Shameful! Definitely demons.

[spaghettimonster]

Oh my god! They just might be. I heard the carnival stopped through hell, a while ago...

[flashover]

Ha!! See? This fair is staffed by demons! Demons!! As an exorcist in training, I'll take care of them!

[spaghettimonster]

Don't burn them all!!

Great as I am, I can't clean the whole carnival myself.

[flashover]

Maybe I can just burn them a little... teach them a thing or two about manners!

[spaghettimonster]

It would probably work! I've learned plenty from pyromaniacs.
