The Contest of Lies

Joel giving Scott a thumbs up as he set up the camera and gave a thumbs up. "Welcome to the Ultimate Contest of Lies! We have 13 contestants today: yours truly, Fwhip, Gem, Katherine, Lizzie, Sausage, False, Oli, Pix, Shelby, Joel, Jimmy, and Joey. Here's how it works: each contestant will take a turn telling a lie, and the others will have to guess if it's true or false. The one who gets the most lies guessed right wins! Ready? Let the contest begin!" Scott said. "I don't will start first. I once climbed Mount Everest in a day, just for fun. Totally solo, no big deal" Scott said.

Everyone stares, some are skeptical. "That's a huge claim. I'm calling it a lie!" Lizzie said. "I'm with Lizzie, no way that happened!" Joel said. Scott laughs. "You're right, I've never even been to Nepal" Scott said. Everyone laughs. "I'm secretly a world champion in underwater basket weaving. I've got medals and everything" Fwhip said.

"I've never heard of that as a sport, but... I can see Fwhip pulling it off" Gem said. I don't buy it. Fwhip, you're lying!" Katherine said. Fwhip grins. "Gotcha! I've never even tried basket weaving underwater" Fwhip said. "I once won a race against a cheetah. It was a sprint, and I was faster" Gem said. "Gem, come on, we all know cheetahs can run like 60 miles per hour" Sausage said.

"I want to believe you, Gem, but I'm calling it a lie" Sausage said. "Well, you're right. There was no cheetah. But I did win a race against my dog" Gem said. Everyone laughs as Gem shrugs. "I'm actually a secret superhero. My alter-ego is 'The Invisi-Woman'" Katherine said. "I didn't know superheroes were part of this contest! You're lying, Katherine" Oli said.

"Superheroes? You've got to be kidding me" Pix said. "Alright, I'm no superhero, but I did once save a kitten from a tree" Katherine said. There's a collective "aww" as Katherine smiles. "I'm allergic to water. I can't touch it without breaking out in hives" Lizzie said. "That sounds so bizarre, Lizzie. I'm going to call this one a lie" Sausage said.

"There's no way that's true" Joel said. "Yeah, you're right. I can drink and bathe in water just fine. I just thought it'd be fun to say that" Lizzie said. Everyone chuckles at the absurdity. "I've been to the moon. Yeah, I was part of a secret NASA mission" Sausage said. "No way. You're definitely lying. You've never even left Earth, Sausage" False said.

"I'm calling it a lie too" Shelby said. "Busted! I've never been past the Earth's atmosphere" Sausage said. They all laugh as Sausage feigns disappointment. "I once ate an entire pizza in one sitting... but I had to do it while riding a unicycle" False said. "This sounds like a lie. No one can ride a unicycle and eat pizza at the same time!" Oli said.

"I've got to call it a lie. That's impossible" Jimmy said. "Alright, you got me! No unicycle. But I can still eat an entire pizza if I try hard enough" False said. Everyone snickers. "I can speak fluent dolphin. I've had full conversations with them" Oli said. "Okay, now you're just being ridiculous, Oli. I'm calling it a lie" Pix said.

"Fluent dolphin? That's the most unbelievable thing I've heard all day" Joe said. "You're right! I can't speak dolphin, but I've tried mimicking them" Oli said. Everyone laughs and shakes their heads. "I'm secretly an alien sent to Earth to observe human behavior. I'm here on a mission" Pix said. "No way! Alien, huh? You've been watching too many sci-fi movies" Shelby said.

"I'm calling it a lie" Joel said. "Well, fine, I'm not an alien. But you never know! Maybe someday" Pix said. The group exchanges amused looks. "I can lift a car with one hand. I've been practicing my super strength" Shelby said. "Shelby, I'm going to call this one a lie. No one can lift a car" Joel said. "Yeah, no way. That's too much" Sausage said. "Okay, you got me! I can barely lift a heavy box, let alone a car" Shelby said.

Laughter follows as Shelby grins sheepishly. "I once lived on a deserted island for six months. No other humans, just me and nature" Joel said. "That sounds really dramatic, but I think Joel's the type to do something like that" Jimmy said.

I'm going to call it a lie though" Joe said. "Yeah, you're right. I stayed in a cabin for a week once, but nothing quite as extreme as a deserted island" Joel said. The group nods, impressed by the creativity. "I've been to every country in the world. Every single one. I'm basically a globetrotter" Jimmy said.

"That's a massive claim. I think you're lying, Jimmy" Joe said. "I'm calling it a lie too" Sausage said. "Alright, alright. I've been to a lot of countries, but definitely not all of them. I got carried away" Jimmy said. The group chuckles at Jimmy's ambitious claim. I once wrote a book in one weekend. A full-length novel, 300 pages!" Joe said.

"I'm calling that a lie, Joey. That's a lot of pages to write in a weekend" Sausage said. "Yeah, no way. 300 pages in two days? That's too much" Lizzie said. "You caught me! I wrote a 20-page short story in one weekend, though" Joe said. Everyone laughs and nods at Joe's honesty.
