Zodiac Street

36|| Is he lying?

You know Arlen? Wait.... everyone knows him.

Anyways, Arlen is the scientist and inventor of the group. He also likes to operate machines with the help of his good friend Tyler. Arlen has a lot of unique inventions: a time machine, a machine that generates food after you type it down on a keypad, heck, even a robot that raps.

But today the zodiacs are invited to to see Arlen's new machine. From the looks of it, it was a box like machine with those velcro straps that wrap around the top part of the arm.
The machine also has a cable connected to Arlen's laptop which detects some  things.
The machine was on a table  with Arlen's laptop. There are two chairs near the table, one on either side (Arlen was sitting on the chair near his laptop).

In other words: it is a lie detector.

Arlen had invited everyone to check out the machine at House 3, of course they all came.

Well.... the only person that didn't arrive was Alyssa (who is back at House 5, for some reason).

"This is fancy Arlen," Tahlia smiled as she admired the machine, "Real fancy. But I am curious. How does it work?"

"Allow me to explain." Arlen grinned, "This lie detector gives the truth out about a person. The person must wrap this velcro strap around the top part of their arm and sit down on the empty chair." He then gestured to the machine, "Someone must ask a question that  the person must give their honesty. The infomation is progressed and the result will show up on my laptop. This machine will easily detect a lie and a truth. If it is a truth a 'DING' noise will come my laptop"

"What happens if a lie is out?" Colin asked worriedly, "Does it-"

"No." Arlen replied shaking his head, "Nothing happens, just everyone being surprised. If it is a lie, there would be a buzzer sound. Here, allow me to do an example, but I need a volunteer. Who wants a go?"

No one raised their hand, instead they all looked around hoping they would speak out. Finally Tyler spoke up, "Alright, I'll do it."

"Suits yourself." Leo shrugged, secretly wanting to have a go but he is a bit scared about what might happen.

"Great, a volunteer." Arlen smiled, "Just sit down on that chair right there."

Tyler did just that. He watched as Arlen wrapped the elcro strap around the top part of Tyler's arm. He also watched as Arlen turned on the machine and sat back down on his seat  and averted his gaze to his laptop. Tyler cleared his throat, "I am scared."

"Don't be, nothing bad will happen." Arlen replied with a warm smile. He turned back to the others, "Who wants to ask a question."

"MEEEEE!" Phoebe called out. She then turned to Tyler, "Am I cute?"

"WHAT SORT OF QUESTION IS THAT?!" Carol and Sabrina screeched. Tyler chuckled.

"Of course Phoebe." Tyler smiled.

DING!

"True." Arlen mumbled out loud.

"Do you think I am fabulous?" Leo inquired.

"Y e s." Tyler replied, rolling his eyes and laughing softly.

DING!

"True." was Arlen's response.

"I got a good one!" Vivian called out. She then gave Tyler a 'did you do your chores' look, "Did you wash the dishes?"

".......Yes."

BUZZZZZZ!

"That is a lie." Arlen called out. This made Cameron do a dramatic gasp.
