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.

Learning a language is the lie.

[tilfrosset]

Then you would be wrong.

I don't speak it these days, mostly because I prefer not to, but I understand enough to survive.

[Literally, as not following the orders shouted at her by the Ironblood in their native tongue meant someone was going to die.]

That and no one else around me knows it, so it's falling to the wayside.

[yuezun]

Then the third choice is the lie. You have not been abducted exactly four times.

[Other people had been using semantics with their lies. Maybe she was, too?]

[tilfrosset]

[Sorry, but semantics aren't Jill's forte. Neither is not getting kidnapped.]

It has been exactly four times. No worries. I have no plans on a fifth.

[yuezun]

[That was an unlucky number of times to be kidnapped...]

There are many people not talented in the culinary arts. Why lie about that and not the others?

[[ooc: very late bc life hit me with an oomph. feel free to ignore this if it's too old!]]

[tilfrosset]

I simply could not think of anything else at the moment.

That and a simple skill like that was one of the things I feel I missed out on during my formative years.

[ooc: it's fine! backtags are always welcome over here!]

[yuezun]

Cooking is not a simple skill. But you should not let that deter you from learning if you are able. This venerable one is also learning.

[tilfrosset]

I'll fully be able to in a few weeks, but in the meantime, I've been spending time reading cookbooks to give me a base to start from.

Oh? Have you made anything interesting yet?

[yuezun]

...



This venerable one is still learning.


[Many. Many. "Interesting" and also "Terrible" Things. Had been made.]

[tilfrosset]

That doesn't answer my question.

[Please tell her of your troubles, so she doesn't feel alone in burning water.]

[yuezun]

What this venerable one has made are still the efforts of a student in the art. They are not worth speaking of at any length.
