04/22/26 – Picknar’s Idea

|

The Veefa-Possessed-Lasper Roared! But Picknar stepped forward and said, "Veefa! Wait! I can change things so that you can always rest!" Looming over Picknar, the Veefa-Possessed-Lasper said, "I don't believe you." Picknar said, "Well, it's just an idea but I think it'll work. "But, if I do this, I want you to promise to let our friend go, the one whose body you're in. And let us ask one question." The Veefa-Possessed-Lasper said, "Do it and I promise." Picknar said, "You basically follow commands. "And so I command you to never tell the truth again! And if someone tells you to stop telling untruths agree with them, but that will also be a lie. See? Now you are no longer just a creature to be used. You're kinda, well, um... useless." The Veefa-Possessed-Lasper stopped yelling and said, "Wow. It didn't work. I love this solution. I'm going to be so excited all the time!" Pondering, Picknar said, "Hm. Maybe my idea still has some kinks to work out."
