Since we have our new marching orders, and are preparing to depart relatively soon, I feel as if I should go on record admitting my one weakness.

[she makes an agitated noise.] I'm not good at blending in.

[she holds up her hands, suddenly excited.]

But! But I have learned that the one thing that sets me apart is that I'm considered to be very funny. So by using my natural gift for comedy, I will surely keep the natives off guard while we plan out our strategies.

The problem is I don't have many jokes. The one about the chicken, while hilarious, will probably lose its charm after awhile, so in the name of preserving teamwork, I ask of you, my fellow Audentes, to give me, the great and lovable Peridot, your best jokes.

An opportunity to convince people you're someone you're not. Pull the wool over their eyes.

[slapfight]

You mean lie...

[she's

so

bad at lying.]

[steler]

[...]

Yes?

[why is this a problem]

[slapfight]

It's a logical approach to this mission, I admit. [Peridot, it's literally 85% of the mission.] I'm just... not... great at it.

[she can self-aggrandize and make up her own truth to the point that she buys it herself with the best of them, but that doesn't mean she can just make up lies on the spot.]

[steler]

It takes practice, like anything else.

[slapfight]

And by your logic, it should be easy to pick up on, since everyone does it.

[she's still not sure she buys that, but it's about 50% not wanting to buy it.]

[steler]

Everyone lies, not everyone is good at it.
