Fine. Play whatever game you want.

raises an eyebrow Well, the goal is quite straightforward. We each have a set of five dice, and we take turns rolling them.
grins But here's the twist: after each roll, you have to lie about the result, and I have to guess whether you're telling the truth or not. If I guess correctly, you have to do a task of my choosing. But if I'm wrong, I'll do the task. And trust me, my tasks won't be a walk in the park.
rolls his dice and looks at the results Alright, my dear Vargas, let's see how well you can lie. pauses Your turn.

smirks Very well, Vargas. Let's begin. I want you to sing each verse with conviction and emotion.
I will try my best. I start singing* In days of yore, when legends were born, in fields of battle, where men were sworn, a hero arose, to claim his right, to wield the sword, to wield the light, and bring the peace, to save the world, from endless night, the ballad of the deceptive dice, the ballad of the deceptive dice, the ballad of the deceptive dice, the ballad of the deceptive dice
