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.

Given your eyes are in fact red....I suppose 3 is the lie?

Why don't you sing anymore?

[afflatusexarch]

Three is not a lie.

So it must be one of the other two.

[empyrean_mirror]

you..went to the realm of the dead?

[Well now he's thoroughly distracted, g'raha.]

[afflatusexarch]

You would be surprised to discover where I have been.

To answer your question, yes, I have. There is a device my countrymen use to monitor the aetherial sea. It allows one to observe from within, though at a rather shallow level. My companions and I were required to go much further than what is typically allowed.

[empyrean_mirror]

...Should I even ask why in public?

[Because that sounds like it was probably...pretty personal.]

[afflatusexarch]

Oh it is quite all right.

We needed to do so in order to meet with the oldest and one of the most powerful Primals of our star.

[empyrean_mirror]

[ what ]

A...primal?

[afflatusexarch]

It's our closest approximation of a god. Or goddess, in this case.

[empyrean_mirror]

A goddess who lives at the very depths of the realms of the dead...

your need must have been truly dire, to go to such lengths.

[afflatusexarch]

In our defense, it was the end of the star as we knew it.

[empyrean_mirror]

...

is

is this the same end of the world as last time?

[afflatusexarch]

The very same that we averted, yes.

[empyrean_mirror]

you've lead a very strange life, G'raha.

I'm no longer certain 2 is the lie. I wouldn't have thought one's eye color could change but...

[given everything else g'raha's said why the fuck not!]

[afflatusexarch]

And yet it did in one of my eyes. I was born with one red and one teal.

[empyrean_mirror]

I am somewhat disappointed you don't sing, you realize.

What happened to change it?

[afflatusexarch]

I don't any longer. Or, rather, it has been some time.

Circumstances being what they were, it had been a little difficult to find time.

[empyrean_mirror]

Is there not time now?

[afflatusexarch]

I suppose that there is, isn't there?

[empyrean_mirror]

No time like the present, then!

[afflatusexarch]

I am surprised at the amount of people questioning me on this matter, actually.

[empyrean_mirror]

How so? Creative hobbies help pass the time between world-ending catastrophes.

[afflatusexarch]

I just didn't think it was something to really make more of a passing mention of.

[empyrean_mirror]

Music of any kind always gets people's attention.

[afflatusexarch]

I suppose if they have any sort of culture, it should.

[empyrean_mirror]

It makes me want to see about getting an instrument back from home, honestly.
