TWO TRUTHS AND A LIE

There have been a lot of riftfarers arriving lately. It seems like there have been more arriving than usual. So many different kinds of people from different kinds of worlds with stories to tell and experiences to give.

A little game has appeared on the shellphone network in hopes of getting to know just a little more about these otherworlders. You might find it on your shellphone as you’re scrolling through one day.

Tell the world two truths and one lie about yourself. And let others try and decipher which of the three is your lie. If they can guess right, perhaps you’ve been able to make a new acquaintance. Or in the least learn more about someone from another walk of life.

🥦1. It took me a while to be able to do and I had to practice for long hours every single day but I can lift more than seven hundred pounds now.

🥦2. My hair isn’t naturally green. It’s something I upkeep myself.

🥦3. My father can breathe fire. It’s something I’ve always wanted to be able to do as well but I never inherited it from him.

what

[fullgauntlet]

Ummm. What, what? Did I play the game correctly? I think I did...

[empyrean_mirror]

these all seem...well, they're rather a shock, where I'm from.

Green is a perfectly natural hair color, but I suppose you could still have dyed it if you wanted...

Are you mortal?

[fullgauntlet]

Ah, yes. I am.

[yuezun]

Then the lie is that your hair is not naturally green.

[Because that was the least believable thing about a mortal. Right? Right.

...he has a very skewed view of mortals.]

[catsgothistongue]

Can your old man really breathe fire?

[fullgauntlet]

That's the quirk he was born with, yes!

[catsgothistongue]

Sick, that sounds awesome! But guess that wasn't the lie, huh? How about the lifting part?

[No offense Izuku, even with your muscles, you still look like a fucking twig.]

[ricebird]

Well... you've told me 3 is true at least, but that just makes it a toss-up...

[Kotori takes a long time to type...]

I'm going to guess... 2?

[LOOK, if his dad can breathe fire, why NOT have super strength and naturally green hair? And Izuku is the hard-working type, from what she's seen.]

[fullgauntlet]

That's right! I wasn't expecting someone to get it right so fast. You're good at this game.

[ricebird]

Really? Oh wow! That was lucky; I was thinking either that one, or the pounds you can lift was a different number.

[Seriously, OOCly it was down to a coin flip.]

I would guess 1 is fake, but I know a guy who has ridiculously low body fat that's strong as hell, so anything's possible.

I'll guess 2!

[fullgauntlet]

Sometimes looks can be deceiving, but with the proper training and any abilities that can help on top of that, lifting a large amount of weight is very possible!

That means you're right! Number two is my lie. Maybe I should have picked some harder ones?

[scooba]

Is it the third one? If your father can breathe fire, I can imagine it must be interesting to have conversations with him.

[fullgauntlet]

I'm sorry, that's not correct! My father can breathe fire.

But only when he chooses to and regulates his breathing to do it. Luckily he can control it, so he doesn't breathe fire all the time.

[emet_sulk]

How much is a 'pound'?

[fullgauntlet]

About 453.592 grams?

Three?

(Fire breathing sounds like a boost, and it's pretty rare for them to be able to have children in their world. Unless this person is adopted.)

[fullgauntlet]

It's a good guess, but incorrect! Three is not my lie. My dad can breathe fire.

Seven hundred pounds?!! No way!

How?!

No! That's got to be the lie, right?

[fullgauntlet]

Ah, I'm sorry that's not correct!

It's way. I can absolutely lift seven hundred pounds if I need to.

You can guess again, if you'd like to!

[xiaolanhua]

Is number three the lie?

[fullgauntlet]

Ahh, let me ask...! Have you ever heard of something called a quirk?
