Today's contest is special! Instead of locating a quote, you need to correctly identify something in my most recent story:

EFinding Honesty

• MLP: FiM
• MLP Gen 5
• Adventure
• Drama

Sunny Starscout believes she can summon the ghost of Twilight Sparkle if her friends locate the Bearer of Honesty, but hasn't told them her true goal.

• Death
• Hitch Trailblazer
• Sunny Starscout
• Sprout
• Sugar Moonlight
• Argyle

In Finding Honesty, the major motif is that each speaking character (with possible exceptions) has a "tell" when they lie or attempt to bluff, as explained by Sprout in the third chapter. Your job is to identify, by chapter number, when each character's "tell" appears.

You may wish to spoiler your answers in case you don't want other readers to be influenced by your guesses. If nopony gets the correct answer, we'll do another QTC tomorrow.

Here is the list of characters in the order in which they first speak, so you can copy and paste for a quicker response:

Sheriff Hitch Trailblazer:
Izzy Moonbow:
(Princess) Sunny Starscout:
Princess Zipp Storm:
Princess Pipp Petals:
Deputy Sprout Cloverleaf:
Phyllis Cloverleaf:
(Doctor) Sweets:
Sugar Moonlight:
Alphabittle:
Tree of Harmony:
Princess Twilight Sparkle:
Argyle Starshine:

Here is the chapter list, with numeric abbreviations (so you don't have to type the whole chapter name):

A New Princess: 1
An Honest Try: 2
Unicorn Tech: 3
Griffinstone: 4
The Best Worst Day Ever: 5
If a character never reveals a tell: none
If a character's tell appears twice, in two chapters: give both numbers

Good luck! Since this requires some interpretation, I'll leave the results secret until tomorrow.

Ah, neat. ...I'm a bit low on time for it at the moment myself, unfortunately, but good luck, those participating! I continue to be glad to see that these seem to be going well. :)

I assume most readers peeked and agreed with FOME here, who indeed is correct.

I'm going to announce each winner more formally at the start of the following contest from now on, because most people will miss my responses on the previous contest. But I'll still informally tell readers they've won in the comments.
