Fourth lie.

[andincendiary]

Why is the fountain filled with pink liquid? If I were back home I'd say it was some kind of waterbending trick, but here I'm sure it's something even more irritating.

I mean, really. Pink?

Ty Lee would like it, though, wouldn't she? Why am I thinking about her now? Certainly it's not that I miss her. I don't miss anybody.It does smell...

It's alcohol... Probably a May Day treat.

[andincendiary]

Oh, is that it?

I wasn't allowed to drink much at home because they said I wasn't old enough. Perhaps this is my chance to show them--

May Day, then--you have such strange customs here.

[lyra_of_dust]

No, that was the custom back at Oxford. We're celebrating it here now. A maypole, dancing, and a bonfire later! It's going to be amazing!

[andincendiary]

A bonfire?

I can help with that.

[jesus_was_wr0ng]

it's a cocktail

[andincendiary]

...it doesn't look like any kind of tail to me.

[jesus_was_wr0ng]

...

not a literal tail

the drink, it's called a cocktail.

[andincendiary]

You people have the strangest words, has anyone ever told you that?

[pinkenthusiasm]

Pink's the best~!!!!

[andincendiary]

I suppose there's nothing really wrong with it in and of itself. But people who are obsessed with it?

It's just a color.

...hair shouldn't be pink, though.

[pinkenthusiasm]

It's just a good color~!!

Why not~?

[andincendiary]

Oh, if you say so.

Hair isn't pink! Why would you try to make it that way?

[so_very_greedy]

Like the others said, babe. It's a cocktail.

[andincendiary]

But why?

[so_very_greedy]

Maybe the city rulers like us? I don't trust it. Might have side-effects. These guys are never THAT nice.

[andincendiary]

If they liked us, that war curse, or the zombies, or that truth curse--none of those would have happened.

[steeldame]

Or a poisoned trap to see how many fools drink of it. Take your pick, I myself won't drink anything pink unless I know the content.

[andincendiary]

I can understand that sentiment. But if you look at the Network...half the City seems to have been drinking it all day without being poisoned by it, or cursed.

...It doesn't taste very good, though.

[steeldame]

In all likelihood it could be a present, but they aren't above trickery, those "gods", and I have no desire to taste it.

[andincendiary]

Well, you're not missing much.
