Hey who’s up for a little game of Two Truths And A Lie? You write down three sentences, two of which are true and one that’s a lie. People guess which is true and what's BS. Who’s down?

I’ll start:
I have less students in my homeroom than I do fingers on my hand
I once saw a man fold himself in half six times
One of my best friends is a panda

Well hey, you never know. Maybe you just haven't figured it out yet. And some of that stuff might be low-key for you, but pretty tough for others. Like, I can cook decently, but I've never baked a pie before. They seem pretty tricky.

[ribbonbon]

I guess I never thought about it like that before? It's not like the stuff I can do is particularly exciting or anything.

Now that I think about it, I guess even every day stuff might be hard if you're not used to it. It's not like I was making perfect pies when I first started...

[Not that she's making perfect pies now, either, but still.]

[fishflakes]

You're not wrong. I mean, I was pretty trash with my own abilities before I learned how to use them properly. And just cause your talents aren't like, some wild superpower doesn't mean they're useless.

Okay now I'm curious. What's your favourite kind of pie to make?

[ribbonbon]

I still think it might be nice to be able to do something a little more impressive, but I guess having every day skills is better for someone that generally does every day stuff.

That's such a hard question! I mean, I don't know if I'd say it's my favorite, but I guess I do like making apple pies. I mean, they're pretty basic and if I show up somewhere with an apple pie, chances are high that everyone will like it.

[fishflakes]

Well, if you're wanting to learn something new while you're here, you can always learn some new Dreamotion magic. I've seen some pretty wild stuff done by people with it. Maybe you can learn to do something with it yourself?

Ohh, apple pie is pretty good. I mean, who doesn't like apples? If someone doesn't like apples that's pretty suspicious, isn't it?

[He's joking about that.]

[ribbonbon]

I've thought about that! It sort of feels like the kind of thing you have to be super smart to do, though. I mean, it's magic. Like, where does someone even start with that?

I don't know if it's really suspicious. Maybe it would be better if more people didn't like apples, you know. Everyone knows what happened to Snow White and she liked apples a lot.

[That was less a consequence of liking apples and more taking apples from strangers, but...it's probably a relevant, right?]

[fishflakes]

Nah, I don’t think so. All it would take is some practice, maybe someone to show you how it’s done, you know?

Haha okay fair point. Then people should have a healthy respect for apples but not be gung ho about them.

[ribbonbon]

They're at least healthy. Something like "An apple a day keeps you from getting sick!" right? I wonder if it counts if the apple is in a pie?

Maybe I'll do some independent research or whatever before asking for help. You know, just so I kind of know what I'd be getting into here with all this dreamotion stuff...

[fishflakes]

I'd be willing to swing that apple pie is healthy. It's got fruit in it, it's good enough.

That's a good idea. Plus, asking around could give you some good ideas. I mean, if you ever need any help, I wouldn't mind offering a few pointers.

[ribbonbon]

Maybe I'll start having a slice of apple pie every day and see if I feel any healthier. Like a science experiment or something.

[Not that she ever needed an excuse to eat sweets.]

For real? That would be great, thanks! I'll totally keep you in mind if I get anywhere with it!

Or would it be better to ask for help if I don't get anywhere with it?

[fishflakes]

Sounds like a good idea to me. You should try. For science. Heck if you need a volunteer I'm not opposed to apple pie myself.

[Toge you just want free apple pie.]

Yeah, I have no problem offering what I know. And honestly, I'm of the belief that if you're stumped on an idea on your own, sometimes asking someone to help will do the trick. Sometimes others can see things you can't, you know?

[ribbonbon]

Next time I make an apple pie, I can totally let you know if you want. We could split the whole thing. For educational purposes.

I think I get it. Like a different mindset makes a new perspective or something like that, right? Well, if you're really cool with it, I'll totes drop you a line once I have sort of a better idea where I'm going with it.

[fishflakes]

Heck yeah, for education.

For sure. I’ll keep an eye out for your message.
