But then she would say that, wouldn't she (and more to the point so would he - Gbaji is the deceiver after all, isn't he, so he's not likely to let on that you've been seduced to the dark side)

"Sedanya, one of these dieties is Gbaji the deceiver, who tells only lies, the other is Nysalor the bright. You may ask a single qestion of either one of them, then you must choose who will teach you"

Red Goddess: "<thinks> If I ask Gbaji who should teach me, he'll lie and say himself, and if I ask Nysalor, he'll tell the truth, and say himself, so that won't work... Hang on though, If I ask Nysalor what Gbaji would say he'll tell the truth and and tell me Gbaji, whereas if I ask Gbjai what Nysalor will say, he'll lie and tell me Gbaji too - great</thinks>"

Red Goddess:"OK, that diety on the left - If I asked the other diety which of you should be my teacher, what would he say?"

Nysalor/Gbaji: "The choice is immaterial, what is important is the nature of the chooser"

Red Goddess: "Damn - OK, I'll pick <does quick Pelorian counting game used to determine which child is "it"> You, and call you Nysalor, and if anyone wants to argue then I'll beat them up!"
