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.

That's what it sounds like you're implying here. For the stupid fish, I've dealt with curses before. Inanimate statues don't move on their own unless they're super cursed or got a spirit trapped inside it. Unless you have a rational explanation for it, Earrings?

[Jokes on you, he doesn't even know there's a speech-to-text/text-to-speech function on the phone!]

And I'll have you know I like reading. Gives me something to do when I'm not fighting, and gave me something to do growing up that wasn't just training.

[indispensable]

[You're sounding awfully defensive there, Ranma.]

It's not cursed. And it wasn't moving by itself.

Since you like reading, you should keep up the habit.

[catsgothistongue]

[Your face is awfully defensive, Al.]

Buddy. Pal. Friend. Chum. Whatever the hell's your name again.

It moved. I turned it around multiple times, and every time I looked away, it was looking at me. With those black, beady eyes that stare back into your soul.

Don't patronize me, and don't tell me what to do.

[indispensable]

That was Mehrak simply doing its job.

[Archons teenagers are so exhausting they get offended by every little thing.]

[catsgothistongue]

...

(2/2)

[catsgothistongue]

Well you coulda said that the first time around.

[This is what happens when Kevah's allowed to adopt feral teens.]

[indispensable]

You didn't ask.

[You just went straight to trying to burn his fish statue?]

[catsgothistongue]

Oh, I'm sorry. I didn't know "Hey bossman, is the living android briefcase that follows Kaveh around moving your stupid statue?" should've been at the top of my list of questions.

[No, he went straight to asking about matches.]

[indispensable]

And asking for matches in order to commit vandalism is the better option?

[catsgothistongue]

And I left it alone after you told me to. Can you give me a break about the stupid fish already?

[indispensable]

May I remind you that you are the one who brought it up first.

[catsgothistongue]

You implied it when you brought up my 'actions'. Unless there's something else I'm not aware of.

[indispensable]

Mushrooms.

[catsgothistongue]

... Pizza?

[What's with the nonsequitur, are they playing word games now??]

[indispensable]

Kaveh told me about your misadventure with the mushrooms.

[Mostly because he can't really hide the fact that his cloak got shredded but. Details.]

[catsgothistongue]

[Fuck.]

Look, those mushrooms'd make anyone who get the pollen on them have bad episodes. I wasn't exactly in the clearest of minds. It could've easily been you or Kaveh.

[indispensable]

Surely you should have realized something was wrong after the first one and acted accordingly.

[Instead of just. Continuing to pick them??]

[empyrean_mirror]

wait hold up

Did you program Mehrak to move the statue, Alhaitham???

[indispensable]

If by "programming" you mean "asking nicely", then yes.

[empyrean_mirror]

alhaitham

why have you told her to continuously turn the fish to face people in the room with you

[indispensable]

The face is its most interesting aspect.

[So clearly other people need to appreciate this too?]

[empyrean_mirror]

[ celestia give him STRENGTH ]

why don't we let people decide how to observe the fish for themselves in the future.

[indispensable]

That would require them to look at the fish first.

[Which many of them are not can you hear him sulking.]

[empyrean_mirror]

don't sulk.

I'll let you put it somewhere harder to miss if you stop putting it on my nightstand in the dead of night. [...] OR telling mehrak to do so.

[indispensable]

Fine.

[It better be somewhere good!! Or its back to the nightstand.]
