2 TRUTHS AND A LIE
Preferred Alias: Clary

1. When I was 13, I went to school picture day dressed as Sailor Moon.
2. I've thrown up on Joss Whedon's shoes at a comic convention.
3. I was given a month's worth of detention for filling a volcano full of glitter and sequins in science class and then letting it explode.

One Of These Is A Lie

I do not know Sailor Moon or Joss Whedon, nor am I familiar with comic conventions or sequins. I will hazard a guess that the lie is the second choice.

The third sounds so outlandish that I think it might actually be true. Though how would one fill a volcano with glitter and sequins?

[ she knows it can't possibly be a full fledged volcano, but also has no clue how a person might have access to one of any kind. ]

( Oh, do not let her get started. Nobody has time for a Sailor Scout presentation, nor her ten thousand essays on Buffy the Vampire Slayer. )

that was a good guess!
but it wasn't a real volcano.
we had to make a model of one for a science fair. you know, paper mache, baking soda, the whole deal.
i just went a little wild with mine.

[astralera]

Actually, I do not know. What is a science fair, paper mache, and baking soda?

[creatio]

oh, okay, so a science fair is like a high school thing.
the students do a whole project on a topic of their choice.
it's supposed to be competitive because usually there's a prize.

paper mache is when you pulp paper and mould it together with an adhesive. not my favourite thing to do, but still fun most of the time.

and baking soda's like an ingredient i used to make the volcano foamy.

[astralera]

[ vague recollections from the prison world definitely help put all of this into proper context. it sounds... interesting, if she's understanding it all correctly. ]

Thank you.

Baking soda helps to make imitation lava then? It sounds like an enjoyable sort of project.

[creatio]

maybe i'll try it out while i'm here, invite everyone who doesn't know about this kind of thing.

[astralera]

It would be quite nice to learn more about such things, and to meet others who are unfamiliar with more 'modern' activities.

i think i know just the guy who can help me too.
i'll let you know if i decide to hold a science class!
