Predators and Prey

[Foxy Emy]

Then you’ve put yourself between the rock of lying and the hard place of being found out. Tis your evil to decide, but I’ll choose not to lie.

Do you have any idea how many spankings @Simo would give me if pled the 5th everytime he asked if I had recoeved my bi-hourly spanking? A lot. That is how much!

 

[Arishipshape]

Actually I promised I would lie to you IF you asked, thereby setting up a set of conditions for both parties to abide by. So if you do ask any questions about the contents of the <reacted> box I will lie, thereby upholding my word.
CHECKMATE!

You’ll have kept your word—your word that you said you would lie. Only a consistent liar would be okay with saying they’d lie, as someone who values truth highly wouldn’t plan on lying often (and wouldn’t lie about lying often).

...Therefore?

You’ll have kept your word—your word that you said you would lie. Only a consistent liar would be okay with saying they’d lie, as someone who values truth highly wouldn’t plan on lying often (and wouldn’t lie about lying often).

Where's the lie?

Where's the lie?

Admittedly in that hypothetical there are no lies committed—but it proves you are okay with lying, as only a liar or someone okay with lying would say “I plan to lie”. Not to mention, I could just ask what was inside the box, and force a lie: either a lie (to keep your word), or the truth (breaking your word from earlier).

Therefore I am innocent!

Also if you don't ask what is in the box she won't have to lie.

The fact that I could simply ask a question and trigger a lie shows that there’s something screwy afoot! It’s not my responsibility to help others be honest—I’m only responsible for myself, so if I’m honest, I’ve succeeded.

Well there are lies, and there are lies.
And as anyone who has been a parent can tell you parenthood is made up of a tapestry of white lies.
'Put that tooth under the pillow, and the tooth fairy with take it away.'
'We should be quiet, the pixies live in these trees.'
'If the wind changes your face will stick like that.'
There are also lies you will tell when you are sure someone can't handle the truth.
Then there are the major lies, which your narrow mind seems to group all falsehoods into.
Hiding a murder.
Shaming people out of their money.
Plotting to overthrow a legitimate leader.
Let's face it your own council of knights told you some absolute whoppers, and before your TF, weren't you training to be just like them?

Yes, I am ok with lies, small ones, harmless ones. I am not ok with breaking my word. Kindly do not accuse me of that again!

Awww I love your eevee egg

Do you still have it?

Not my parents. Not me, if I ever become one. It’s true that children can’t handle all the truth—but then you be honest, you tell them that you can’t tell them.

There are also lies you will tell when you are sure someone can't handle the truth.

Again, it’s better to say “I won’t tell you” or the truth! Don’t deceive people!

Yes. I was honestly mistaken to idolize them. But I shun them now!

*visible confusion*
The size of the lie is irrelevant! And you can’t predict how much harm it will do! If you’re willing to lie, you’re willing to break your word, they are equilvant!

Well aren't we 'Mister High-And-Mighty'

I basically did that with that club, you still went there and lost your mind....

Yes. I was honestly mistaken to idolize them. But I shun them now!

So your previous life there was a lie?

Are you not a parent?

Yo, would you make me a pair a shorts, lil' buddy?
*He just blinks and continues work*

*”humph”s*

I basically did that with that club, you still went there and lost your mind....

And I never blamed you!

So your previous life there was a lie?

Yeah, but never one I committed. Being duped is no crime, just folly.

*Punches you in the face*

*rubs nose, still confused*
I’m going to hold off on retaliation until I understand. One second, you don’t give half a damn about consistent truth, and the next, you care so much about your image of honor you react as I would to being called a liar. And you justify it by saying there are different kinds or qualities of lies? There are not! An intentional deception is intentional deception!
*wipes blood with handkerchief* damn, you can throw a punch...

Are you not a parent?

I suppose I was... I never lied.

Squishy!!!
You can sew?? uwu!

I ask for a pair of 3 socks!
A gnome stole my other pink sock!

[Foxy Emy]

I seem to recall you getting in trouble with a particular diety and denying any fault. You eventually owned up to it. Which props to you.

Just hard to say you never lied when you lied about so.ething so big. To yourself and to other.

But what do I know. I am just a simple mischiefmonger.

Ah, I see the "duendes" have been playing pranks against you again, hahaha!

I initially honestly thought it wasn’t my fault. It took further examination to change my belief. But I never said that which I didn’t think was true.

I'm afraid his ability to talk and understand have gone away until I eat more ants, but lemme check:

*attempts asking Squishy* W@2he2h@&c3734n@#@#?

Dang. Yeah, even that :<

Maybe, it would have to be filled with enough highaloid toxins. But I still have lenago's bag of ants (and -1 pants) >:3

Eh... not my problem. Let me know if you need more boxes of mischief. That free sample did you well!

You absolute hypocrite!
(I'll point out this is in character)
'I never lied, An internal deception is internal deception!'
What about those times you went along with lies, the time you basically asked me to lie to save your sorry hide!!!
Who didn't tell the guards where you were hiding when they were searching for you when you had that massive bounty on your head?
The right thing to do, the honest thing to do would have been to point you out, to be a good citizen, to claim the 10,000 gold reward.
My silence was in itself a lie, you asked me not to give you away, to not tell them where you were!
And then let's not forget you happily went along with presenting forged documents to get out of that bounty, YOU, willingly accepted papers you knew were false! You used those papers to perpetuate a falsehood!
Where was your sense of 'honesty' then?

Yes I'm flawed! Yes I lie! And unlike you I don't pretend that part of me doesn't exist, or blame others for my mistakes! And I won't stand there pretending I'm so bloody perfect while everyone else is the ones at fault! If I give someone my word I will do something I will bloody we'll keep it or die in the attempt!

And yes! I have a mean left hook! Want to meet the right one?
