Third Floor Common Room, Thursday Evening

[dollpocalypse]

Well, around five on Thursday evening, Topher learned that Portalocity officially sucked harder than he had ever suspected, because they'd somehow managed to jostle his luggage on his return trip from Africa badly enough that his laptop screen was cracked.

He had other laptops, yeah, but this one was the fastest, so until he could replace it

It was a grainy image of Olive on the screen, obviously taken with a middle-quality webcam, and shot in her bedroom in Ojai. She was wearing a perfectly mundane purple tank top, probably looking very much like how people in Fandom usually saw her.

"The rumors of my promiscuity have been greatly exaggerated," she began. "I used to be anonymous -- invisible to the opposite sex. If Google Earth were a guy, he couldn't find me if I were dressed up like a ten-story building. Pretty cutting edge stuff, huh? A high school girl, feeling anonymous? 'Who am I, what does it all mean, why am I here, blah'?" Olive made a face. "But don't worry -- this isn't one of those tales -- though it sure started out that way. And then it changed very quickly when I started lying about some really personal things. So let the record show that I, Olive Penderghast, being of sound mind and...below average breast size, swear to tell the truth, the whole truth, and nothing but the truth. Starting now. And what better way to share my private thoughts than to

Victor doubted Olive had ever been invisible, but whatever. Maybe she was too sharp for Ojai guys. And he winced at the bit about her lie -- it was kind of a dumb thing to do, but he'd met Rhi and got why Olive had done it.

Kenzi was grinning for all the parts about the lie, but then frowning once the Cross Your Heart Club got mentioned. "They couldn't think of a better name than a bra commercial motto? Yeesh."

Right, so. As soon as he'd confirmed that this was, in fact, Olive... Toby was pretty sure he knew where this was going to end up. But he had to admit there was a part of him who wanted the whole story, not just the bits and pieces he'd picked up before now.

Rilla's eyes went wide. People just didn't talk about this at home.

Heavens, she was only fairly certain she was engaged.

When Jim had strolled in, he hadn't expected to see something familiar on Topher's laptop. But hey, it was Olive and maybe whatever she was doing on this video would be entertaining.

He even recognized Rhiannon which was surprising and -- ooh, a nice lie to her friend. He guessed the tension came from there, yeah.

Compared to some of the lies Jessica told, 'I banged a college guy' was nothing. She was curious to see where this was going. And she was still holding out hope on Piano Cat.
